Samsung's Galaxy S26 FE launched globally last month and will go on sale in India on September 18, 2026. Just days ahead of that, its local pricing appears to have leaked via an internal retailer document.
Galaxy S26 FE Leaked Price in India
Tipster Abhishek Yadav shared on X what looks like a Samsung retail-partner pricing circular, titled "Product Price Announcement–S26 FE GT" and dated effective September 12, 2026.
According to the document, the Galaxy S26 FE will be priced as follows in India:
- Samsung Galaxy S26 FE 8 GB + 128 GB price in India: Rs 69,999
- Samsung Galaxy S26 FE 8 GB + 256 GB price in India: Rs 79,999
The leaked note reportedly instructs retailers that no additional sell-out scheme will apply until further notice. This suggests that Samsung may not be planning launch-week discounts through the offline channel this time.
Moreover, if accurate, this represents a notable price hike over last year's model. The Galaxy S25 FE launched in India at Rs 59,999 for the 128 GB variant and Rs 65,999 for the 256 GB variant.
This means that the S26 FE would cost roughly Rs 10,000 to Rs 14,000 more at each respective tier. That increase could be mostly due to the RAM crisis affecting the industry this year, which has already pushed up pricing across several other Samsung and Apple devices.
A 512 GB variant, offered on last year's Galaxy S25 FE, is also expected to return for the S26 FE, though its India pricing hasn't surfaced yet. Unlike last year, there's no indication of a free storage-upgrade offer at launch this time.
