Samsung starts working on the Galaxy S26 FE firmware

The fourth device is joining the Galaxy S26 family, which is the Galaxy S26 FE. This phone is a successor to the Galaxy S25 FE that was released last year. The FE phones often have lower specifications than the base flagship phone, and come cheaper and more affordable.

As spotted by Mohammed Khatri, Samsung has started working on the Galaxy S26 FE firmware, and the model number is now known as SM-S741U for locked US models. Currently, it’s at build S741USQU0AZE5, and the phone is to be released with One UI 9.0 and Android 17 as the operating system.

The Galaxy S26 FE is rumored to be powered by the Exynos 2500 SoC as the initial Geekbench report stated, with 8 GB of RAM being on the phone. The same report also states that Android 17 is used, suggesting that this phone is going to launch with One UI 9.0 out of the box.

The global models of the Galaxy S26 FE haven’t been spotted yet, but as time goes on, Samsung will release the Galaxy S26 FE in the second half of this year.
