- Leaked cover renderings show the possible design of the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE
- The only real change appears to be a new camera block
- Samsung users are not happy with how familiar it looks
There is likely to be another member of the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, with the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE expected to launch later this year – but if leaks are to be believed, it might not be very popular.
X-user and tech journalist @Mohammed_K_2010 has shared what appear to be marketing images for cases designed for the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE, revealing the phone’s appearance in the process, and visually it doesn’t look much different from the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE.
The only real change seems to be that the three rear lenses are now housed in a raised camera block instead of sticking out individually, but otherwise this looks a lot like its predecessor.

While we’d take this leak with a grain of salt, it’s a design that makes sense as the standard Samsung Galaxy S26 had the same minor visual change. But it’s also a design that seems to disappoint Samsung fans.
Over on Reddit, comments include a sarcastic “wow, what an unexpected design,” along with “not really an upgrade,” “the design has become as cheap as the Galaxy A series,” and “this must be a joke.”
Get upgrades under the hood, too
If you factor in previously rumored Galaxy S26 FE specs, things don’t get much better. The incoming phone will reportedly feature a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, an Exynos 2500 chipset, a 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging, an IP68 rating, a 50MP wide camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, a 12MP ultra-wide, a 38MP a-2 optical zoom and a front optical zoom. camera.
Of those, the only real upgrades are a new chipset and a battery with a 100mAh capacity boost, so this may only be a very small improvement over its predecessor.
At least it might come in a few different colors, with leaks pointing to purple, black, gray and white hues, but that’s unlikely to tempt many buyers.
We’ll likely find out how accurate it all is – and whether many people actually want to buy the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE – in September or October, as that’s around when it’s likely to launch.
