Galaxy S26 FE India Launch: BIS Certification Confirms the Essentials
The Galaxy S26 FE has appeared on India’s BIS database with model number SM-S741B/DS, as reported by SammyGuru. The “B” denotes the international variant, while “DS” confirms dual-SIM support — a reliable signal that an India launch is imminent.
The certification, along with prior Geekbench listings spotted by GSMArena, confirms two key details:
| Confirmed Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Chipset | Exynos 2500 (3nm, Samsung S5E9955) |
| RAM | 8GB |
| Model Number | SM-S741B/DS |
| Geekbench Scores | Single: 2104, Multi: 7148 |
| Software | One UI 9 on Android 17 |
Other Expected Specs
Beyond what’s officially confirmed, leaks and benchmark listings point to a well-rounded mid-premium package:
| Feature | Expected Detail |
|---|---|
| Display | 6.7″ FHD+ AMOLED, 120Hz, flat panel |
| Battery | ~5,000mAh with 45W wired + wireless charging |
| Port | USB 3.2 |
| Main Camera | 50MP OIS |
| Ultrawide | 12MP |
| Telephoto | 8MP, 3x optical zoom |
| Front Camera | 12MP |
| Build | Flat glass back, metal frame, rounded corners |
| Durability | IP68 rated |
| Software Support | 7 years of OS and security updates |
Notably, this marks the first time an Exynos 2500-class chip has made its way into the Fan Edition lineup — a meaningful step up from previous FE generations, which typically relied on older silicon.
Design: A Familiar Look, With a Twist
Leaks suggest the Galaxy S26 FE will largely mirror the design language of the standard Galaxy S26 series, but with a slightly different camera deco arrangement on the back — enough to distinguish it at a glance without straying too far from Samsung’s current aesthetic.

Expected Launch Timeline and Pricing
Samsung is expected to officially unveil the Galaxy S26 FE around September 2026. While India pricing hasn’t been confirmed, based on historical Fan Edition trends, expect it to land somewhere in the ₹45,000–₹55,000 bracket. If you’re comparing options in this price range right now, our coverage of the realme P4 series price hike is a useful read on how pricing is shifting across segments this year.
The Bottom Line
With BIS certification now locked in alongside matching Geekbench data, the Galaxy S26 FE’s India arrival is all but guaranteed. The Exynos 2500 chip and a seven-year update promise make this one of the more compelling mid-range Samsung options shaping up for late 2026 — assuming the pricing holds steady.
