Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. has launched the Galaxy S26 FE, bringing flagship-style camera tools, Galaxy AI features, and seven years of software support to a lower-priced model in the Galaxy S26 family.
Starting at ₱46,990, the Galaxy S26 FE is the first phone in the lineup to ship with One UI 9. The updated software provides more personalized information and suggestions based on a user’s routine.
The phone introduces My FanCam, a video feature that tracks a selected person and automatically keeps them at the center of the frame. This can help users record concerts, sports events, and other moving subjects without constantly adjusting the camera.
Super Steady with Horizontal Lock keeps videos smoother and level during activities or while traveling. The phone also offers 3x optical zoom, a 12-megapixel front camera, and Nightography for clearer photos in low light.
Photo Assist allows users to edit images using written instructions, including changing daytime scenes into nighttime images, adding objects, or restoring missing parts. Users can review, revise, or undo each editing step.
Gemini Omni can use photos and videos stored in the Gallery to create edited video clips ready for sharing.
One UI 9 also updates Now Brief with customizable cards for information such as weather and wellness. Now Nudge can provide timely suggestions from selected third-party apps and notifications. Circle to Search with Google can now identify several items within a single image.
Samsung said the Galaxy S26 FE can reach up to 69% charge in about 30 minutes using a 45-watt adapter. The phone also supports an improved Smart Switch, which can transfer passwords, passkeys, call history, accessibility settings, and eSIM data from Android or iOS devices through a QR code.
The Galaxy S26 FE will receive up to seven generations of operating system upgrades and seven years of security updates. Buyers will also receive a six-month Google AI Pro trial with 5 TB of cloud storage.
The device is available at Samsung Experience Stores nationwide and will arrive on Samsung.com by Sept. 11 in Blueberry, Graphite, and Pistachio.
