Samsung fans eager for the upcoming Galaxy S26 FE might want to start saving up now. According to a new leak from Dealabs, the next iteration of Samsung’s "Fan Edition" series is expected to arrive with a noticeable price hike across all of its storage configurations when it launches around September 1, 2026.

In France, the base model featuring 128GB of storage is reportedly set to start at €749—a €50 bump over last year's Galaxy S25 FE. The price increases become even more apparent if you need extra storage: the 256GB version is slated to cost €809 (a €90 increase), while the top-tier 512GB model could set buyers back €929, representing a massive €150 jump over its predecessor.

Despite the steeper cost, the S26 FE is still shaping up to be a powerful device. It’s expected to be driven by the Exynos 2500 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM and familiar 45W wired fast charging capabilities. Aesthetically, buyers will reportedly have three color choices to pick from: Graphite, Aqua Green, and a unique new shade blending blue and purple. While the rising prices—likely influenced by ongoing memory component shortages—mean the FE series is drifting further from its budget-friendly origins, it still promises a near-flagship experience for those looking for a premium alternative to the mainline Galaxy S26 series.
