Tech Advisor: A Superficial Name Change

• Featuring an aluminium frame and glass back
• Weighs 193g
• IP68 rated for water and dust resistance

The design of the S26 FE remains consistent with its predecessor, featuring a similar size and shape. It sports a flat front and rear, squared-off edges, and curvy corners, closely resembling the Galaxy S26+.

The rear of the phone is crafted from Gorilla Glass Victus+ with a glossy finish, although it tends to attract fingerprints, especially on darker models. The S26 FE is available in three new colors: Graphite, Blueberry, and Pistachio, each complemented by a matte aluminum frame.

The Pistachio variant stands out as a favorite among the three color options. Unlike previous releases, there are no store-exclusive color variants for this launch, ensuring all colors are widely available for purchase.

Despite its large size, the S26 FE remains slim and lightweight, offering a comfortable user experience. While reaching the top of the screen may be a stretch for some users, the phone’s ergonomic design allows for extended use without fatigue.

The S26 FE retains its IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, but it still does not come bundled with a case or screen protector in the package.
