TL;DR
- The Galaxy S26 FE has appeared in a leaked unboxing video ahead of its August 27 launch.
- The footage reveals a glossy ‘Blueberry’ finish, flat sides, triple cameras, and uniform bezels.
- Other leaks point to a 6.7-inch 120Hz display, Exynos 2500, and One UI 9.0 out of the box.
Samsung confirmed the Galaxy S26 FE was on its way nearly a month ago and finally set a date for the launch event earlier this week. With less than a week to go now, we are seeing more leaks flooding our timelines, and the latest is a hands-on unboxing video that leaves little to the imagination about the upcoming S26 FE’s design and looks.
The Galaxy S26 FE will officially launch on August 27, and so far, we know quite a lot about the specs and features to expect. While this isn’t the first S26 FE hands-on video to leak, the latest shows off every important design element of the phone, including the retail box.
The footage, shared on Instagram by mundoelectronica.aa (via SamMobile), reveals a sleek, highly reflective back panel in a blue shade reportedly named Blueberry. As a sibling to the S26 family, it’s not a surprise to see a glossy, glass-like premium finish. While you’re still getting the same vertical, three-lens camera array on the back, this time the cameras, rumored to be a 50MP + 12MP + 12MP setup, show off a new raised housing.
The side rails are completely flat with a metallic, matte look, providing a sharp contrast to the glossy back. The power and volume buttons show up in their usual positions. The leak hints at a flat screen, widely rumored to be a 6.7-inch display with a small, centered hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera. The display is bordered by visible, uniform bezels, making it easy to tell apart from the top-tier flagships.
Of course, this description stems entirely from an unverified leaked video, and the final design remains unofficial until Samsung formally announces the phone.
Beyond the leaked video, the Galaxy S26 FE could be an interesting addition to the S26 lineup, at least based on other leaks. There’s talk of a 120Hz display panel, longer battery life than the S25 FE, and One UI 9.0 based on Android 17 out of the box.
Look forward to full details on price and market availability when the phone is officially unveiled next week.
