Samsung is busy this week for its Unpacked event where it will unveil new Galaxy foldables. But Samsung’s next Fan Edition phone and its upcoming tablet lineup have also turned up in a regulatory filing.

A new report from Android Authority reveals the Galaxy S26 FE and Galaxy Tab S12 have appeared in an internal list inside the Google app, one that tracks devices set to offer a free trial of Google’s paid AI subscription.

On the phone side, the Galaxy S26 FE follows Samsung’s 2026 design direction, with a raised camera bump and a flat frame. A Geekbench listing shows the phone’s board labeled s5e9955, which lines up with the Exynos 2500 chip and a 1+2+5+2 core layout. Its display is also shaping up to be a bigger change: reports point to an OLED panel from China’s BOE, marking the first time Samsung has brought in an outside screen maker for an FE model instead of relying on its own display unit.

A Samsung smartphone carrying the model number SM-S741B, believed to be the global variant of the Galaxy S26 FE, has appeared on Geekbench. The listing reveals a Samsung S5E9955 chipset, which corresponds to the Exynos 2500 SoC.

Samsung Galaxy S26 FE passes through the FCC​

Interestingly, while the Galaxy S26 FE has an Exynos chipset and modem, it uses a Qualcomm chip for Wi-Fi, unlike the S25 FE which was all-Exynos.

The new phone has support for 45W fast wired charging, just like its predecessor. It also supports wireless charging, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, and satellite connectivity. While the FCC certification doesn’t reveal the chipset powering it, this has been rumored to be the Exynos

The S26 FE will adopt Samsung's latest design with an oval-shaped vertical camera island in the top left corner of the rear panel, onto which the three individual cameras are placed. The device may be more expensive than the S25 FE

Samsung's new software strategy is giving Galaxy S FE phones an unusual advantage.

The Galaxy S26 FE will launch with Android 17 and One UI 9, while the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra started on Android 16 and One UI 8.5.
Since Samsung promises seven major Android OS upgrades, the S26 FE should ultimately receive one newer Android version than the other Galaxy S26 models.
The advantage is a little more complicated now that Samsung is also using mid-cycle One UI updates for bigger feature releases, but Galaxy S FE phones will consistently end their life on a newer Android version.

Leaks suggest that the Galaxy S26 FE will bring a newer processor compared to the Galaxy S25 FE. However, that may be the only major upgrade Samsung has in store for the upcoming Fan Edition smartphone. Earlier today, we also got to see two of its color options in high resolution.
