The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE has been seen on different certification websites recently, suggesting it will be released soon. Although the South Korean tech giant hasn't officially announced its next 'Fan Edition' phone, its local version has been detected on a benchmarking site. The recent listing indicates that Samsung might continue using its own Exynos chipset for this smartphone. It is expected that the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE will operate on Android 17 and have at least 8GB of RAM. A new Geekbench listing for a Samsung smartphone identified as model number SM-S741N has appeared online (through SammyGuru). This model number is thought to be linked to the South Korean version of the rumored Samsung Galaxy S26 FE. The phone is equipped with a deca-core processor that has an ARMv8 design and a base speed of 1.80GHz. This includes two cores in Cluster 1 running at 1.80GHz, five cores in Cluster 2 at 2.36GHz, two cores in Cluster 3 at 2.75GHz, and one core in Cluster 4 at 3.30GHz.
When comparing the architecture of this chip to available processors today, it seems to be the Exynos 2500. This is Samsung's top-end processor. It was revealed in June 2025 and is currently used in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7. The Geekbench listing also indicates that the possible Galaxy S26 FE could come with around 6.83GB of RAM, which might be marketed as 8GB. It could be launched with Android 17 along with One UI 9 added on top. The benchmark entry also discloses firmware version S741NKSU0AZFF. This latest discovery follows an earlier Geekbench listing for the Galaxy S26 FE's version. That model, with the designation SM-S741U, scored 2,312 points in the single-core test and 7,723 points in the multi-core test. It also pointed to the Exynos 2500 chip, 8GB of RAM, and Android 17.
However, the results in the most recent Geekbench listing are a bit lower than those in earlier tests. Previous reports suggest that the Galaxy S26 FE might be launched later this year. For reference, the Galaxy S25 FE was released in September 2025.
