Samsung has confirmed that it will unveil a new Galaxy S26 series smartphone next week during its Galaxy Event August 2026. The event is scheduled for August 27 and will be livestreamed through Samsung’s website and YouTube channel, starting at 12pm UTC.

Samsung has not officially revealed which device will be introduced, but all signs point toward the Galaxy S26 FE joining the lineup.

The company has yet to share any specifications for the phone, although several details have already surfaced through leaks. An EPREL listing reportedly gives the device an A rating for energy efficiency and drop resistance, while its repairability rating is listed as C. The phone is also expected to have an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

The same listing reportedly claims the battery can withstand 1,200 charge cycles and deliver up to 50 hours of usage on a single charge. For comparison, the Galaxy S25 FE was rated for 2,000 cycles and offered around 42 hours and 37 minutes of endurance.

One of the biggest upgrades is expected to be the Exynos 2500 chipset. Its appearance on Google Play Console has already provided strong evidence that Samsung will use the chip in the upcoming FE model.

More specifications and leaked images of the Galaxy S26 FE have already surfaced ahead of the announcement, with Samsung expected to reveal the remaining details during next week’s event.Samsung Galaxy S26 FE launch date confirmed for August 27
