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.

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.
