The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE has been showing up in leaks fairly regularly lately, but we've just gotten our best look at the phone yet. A fresh batch of high-resolution renders has surfaced, revealing the upcoming phone in three colourways and a much clearer look at its design.
Galaxy S26 FE Renders Reveal Galaxy S26-like Design
Thanks to folks over at Android Headlines, we get to see high-quality renders of the Galaxy S26 FE in black and green colourways. We also see it in a blue/purple shade that looks fairly close to the Navy colourway of last year's Galaxy S25 FE.
This falls in line with the Galaxy S26 FE wallpapers that leaked recently and showcased similar colour-matched hues.
Talking about the design of the phone itself, the biggest visual shift is around the cameras. Samsung appears to be doing away with the prominent camera ring that's defined the FE series' design for the past couple of generations.
Instead, with the S26 FE, the South Korean giant is opting for a camera island housing all three rear lenses, mirroring the design language of the standard Galaxy S26.
The three lenses sit vertically stacked in the top-left corner of the back panel, with the LED flash positioned right beside the island. The whole module appears to sit on an otherwise flat rear panel and frame.
Up front, the Galaxy S26 FE renders showcase a flat display with slim bezels and a centred punch-hole selfie camera. The bezels aren't perfectly uniform though, with the bottom edge appearing marginally thicker.
Meanwhile, physical buttons stick to a familiar layout, with the power button and volume rockers placed on the right side of the frame.
The latest high-quality renders corroborate the previous Galaxy S26 FE's WPS certification sighting.

Galaxy S26 FE Specifications: What We Know so Far
Apart from this, a couple of things are already known about the upcoming phone's specifications. For starters, an earlier Galaxy S26 FE camera specs leak suggested that the phone will feature the same 50 MP Samsung ISOCELL S5KGN3 as the S25 FE. The phone could also retain its predecessor's 8 MP OmniVision OV08A1 telephoto sensor.
Additionally, a 12 MP GalaxyCore GC12A2 and a 12 MP Sony IMX825 camera sensor were also mentioned in this report. But we're not sure which of these is the ultrawide lens and which is the selfie shooter.
The Galaxy S26 FE is expected to run on Samsung's Exynos 2500 chipset, paired with 45W fast charging. Meanwhile, a Galaxy S26 FE FCC filing has also revealed the phone will pair that Exynos chip with a Qualcomm-made local networking chip, a combination the Galaxy S25 FE didn't use.
Software-wise, the phone is expected to ship with Android 17-based One UI 9.0 out of the box.
Going by last year's playbook, when the Galaxy S25 FE launched in early September, it's a safe bet the S26 FE follows a similar timeline, likely landing sometime next month.
