TL;DR Samsung’s Galaxy S26 FE has just appeared in an extensive leak detailing practically everything about the phone.

This leak also confirms some of the smartphone’s hardware, including the 6.7-inch 120 Hz display, a triple rear camera, and the Exynos 2500 chipset.

Much like some recent smartphone launches, we expect the Galaxy S26 FE to also see a price increase.

Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S26 FE soon, but a long parade of leaks, including a recent unofficial hands-on video, has already left little to the imagination. We’re now being treated to the full Galaxy S26 FE specs sheet and some of its features, thanks to an extensive leak of digital materials.

More than two dozen images obtained and published by Android Headlines offer a detailed picture of the smartphone’s hardware and its features. First things first, we’re getting visuals on the three launch-day colors of the Galaxy S26 FE, reportedly named Blueberry, Pistachio, and Graphite. While we already knew what colors the smartphone would be available in, this is the first time their official names have leaked.

Meanwhile, other images reveal the rest of the Galaxy S26 FE’s hardware, including its 6.7-inch FullHD+, 120Hz display and a 4,900mAh battery pack with support for 45W Super Fast Charging 2.0. Additionally, the phone will seemingly be 7.4mm thick, practically unchanged from the Galaxy S25 FE.

The leak also sheds light on the camera sensors used on the smartphone, supporting what we exclusively reported in July. The setup includes a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide sensor, and an 8MP telephoto unit on the back, paired with a 12MP front-facing camera.

Another leaked slide reveals that the smartphone features an aluminum alloy-based frame paired with Gorilla Glass Victus+ for screen protection. It also reportedly runs Samsung’s 3nm Exynos 2500 chipset, and will feature software tools like Horizontal Lock and the more recently introduced My FanCam.

Other details mentioned in this leak include IP68-certified water and dust resistance and a promise of seven Android OS updates. While customers may not find state-of-the-art hardware on the Galaxy S26 FE, all signs so far point to the phone debuting with the Android 17-based One UI 9 operating system.
