Samsung Launches Galaxy S26 FE in India, Bringing Flagship Camera, Galaxy AI and Powerful Performance

Samsung India today announced the launch of the Galaxy S26 FE – the newest addition to the Galaxy S26 family that is engineered around the features that matter most to users.

The smartphone combines an enhanced camera experience, context-aware Galaxy AI, powerful everyday performance, and One UI 9. The Galaxy S26 FE brings together a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, an Exynos 2500 processor, a 4900mAh battery, and a versatile triple rear camera system, all packed into a slim and refined design.

“Galaxy S26 FE is designed to bring the best of the Galaxy experience to more consumers in India, with innovations that are meaningful to how they live, work, and create. With flagship camera capabilities, context-aware Galaxy AI, and powerful performance, we are bringing together the experiences consumers value most in a thoughtfully designed smartphone,” said Aditya Babbar, Vice President, MX Business, Samsung India.

A Camera Built for Every Moment

The Galaxy S26 FE’s enhanced triple rear camera system comprises a 50MP wide camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, alongside an enhanced 12MP front camera.

The smartphone brings My FanCam to the Galaxy FE series that allows users to select a person and automatically keep them centred in the frame as they move. The feature intelligently reframes video, making it easier to create social-ready content without extensive manual editing.

For users capturing moments on the move, Super Steady with Horizontal Lock delivers smoother, more level footage, whether recording travel experiences, fast-moving activities, or everyday moments. Samsung’s signature Nightography capabilities help users capture brighter and clearer images in low-light conditions, while Photo Assist makes it easier to refine images using natural language prompts.

With Gemini Omni, users can also create and edit video clips using photos and videos from their Gallery to turn everyday memories into ready-to-share content. Galaxy S26 FE includes a six-month Google AI Pro trial¹ for eligible users, unlocking expanded AI capabilities and 5TB of cloud storage.

Galaxy AI That Adapts to You

Galaxy S26 FE comes with the latest One UI 9² that brings a range of context-aware Galaxy AI experiences designed to make everyday interactions more intuitive.

The updated Now Brief offers more personalised information through customisable briefing cards, weather updates, and wellness insights. Users can also create their own cards with a simple prompt. Now Brief expands contextual suggestions across select third-party apps and notifications to help users access relevant information and take action throughout the day, including through Nudge.

Meanwhile, Circle to Search with Google now enables users to search for multiple items at once, making it easier to identify products, places, objects, and more.

Power and Performance for the Day

Galaxy S26 FE is equipped with a 4900mAh battery and supports 45W wired charging to reach up to 69%³ charge in around 30 minutes with a 45W adapter.

The 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display offers up to a 120Hz refresh rate, delivering smooth visuals for streaming, gaming, browsing, and creative work. With up to 1900 nits of brightness⁴, the display is designed to provide an immersive viewing experience across everyday use.

At the heart of Galaxy S26 FE is the Exynos 2500 processor⁵, built on a 3nm process that brings enhanced performance and AI capabilities to the device. The smartphone also carries an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, adding durability for everyday use.

Designed to Last

Galaxy S26 FE is built for long-term use, supporting up to seven generations of OS upgrades⁶ and seven years of security updates from the global launch date, so users can enjoy the latest features and stay protected for years to come.

An upgraded Smart Switch makes moving to Galaxy easier than ever. Whether switching from an Android or iOS device, users can scan a QR code to wirelessly transfer data, including passwords, passkeys, call history, accessibility settings, and eSIM data, without the need for additional apps, making the setup process simpler and faster.

Together, these features ensure Galaxy S26 FE delivers a dependable, future-ready experience for users across India.
