Samsung Galaxy S26 FE Clears FCC Certification With Exynos Chipset and Qualcomm Wi-Fi
Samsung's Galaxy S26 FE has passed US Federal Communications Commission certification, confirming the handset will run on Samsung's in-house Exynos chipset and baseband, paired with a Qualcomm Wi-Fi module for wireless connectivity. The device supports Wi-Fi 6, NFC and satellite communications, and offers 45W wired fast charging alongside wireless charging. Design follows Samsung's new family language with an oval vertical camera island housing three rear lenses. Samsung has yet to announce an official release date or detailed specifications.
Certification documents indicate the handset maintains the launch cadence of its predecessor. For hardware, it employs Samsung's in-house Exynos chipset and baseband, but selects a Qualcomm Wi-Fi chip for the wireless connectivity module - a departure from the S25 FE's all-Exynos configuration. The new device supports Wi-Fi 6, NFC and satellite communications.
On charging and battery life, the Galaxy S26 FE is equipped with 45W wired fast charging and supports wireless charging. In terms of design, the handset adopts Samsung's new family design language, featuring an oval vertical camera island at the top-left of the rear panel, with three rear cameras arranged vertically inside.
Samsung has not yet announced an official release date or detailed specifications for the device.
