Samsung Galaxy S26 FE smartphone 6.7" 8/512 GB 5G SM-S741B, Pistachio

512 GB of storage means school plays, birthdays and holidays can stay on the phone even before the cloud backup has finished. The Galaxy S26 FE does not support memory cards, so a large internal capacity is the only way to get more space without external storage. 8 GB of RAM keeps the gallery, camera and messaging app quickly at hand.

The main camera has a 50 MP sensor measuring 1/1.56″, an f/1.8 aperture and optical image stabilisation. A larger sensor and a bright lens gather more light, which helps indoors and in the evening, and the camera includes a night mode. Portrait mode separates a person from the background, the LED flash helps in the dark, and autofocus keeps a moving child in focus.

The 12 MP ultra-wide camera has a 123° field of view, so the whole family fits into one picture even in a small room. The 8 MP telephoto gives 3× optical zoom for shooting a stage or a sports pitch from further away. Video records at up to 7680 × 4320 pixels, and slow motion runs at 120 frames per second in 4K. The front camera is 12 MP with an 85° field of view.

The body is IP68-rated, which means dust-tight and water-resistant, and the screen is covered by Gorilla Glass Victus. The EU label shows a repeated free-fall reliability class of A and energy class A. Unlocking uses a fingerprint reader or face recognition. The 4900 mAh battery charges over USB-C with a 10–45 W charger or wirelessly, and the power adapter is sold separately.

The ten-core Exynos 2500 runs the factory-installed Android 17. The 6.7″ Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen has 2340 × 1080 pixels, a typical brightness of 1200 cd/m² and up to 1900 cd/m² with HDR content, plus a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. The phone connects on 5G, 4G and 3G networks, uses Wi-Fi 6E at home, and NFC allows card payments.

The Pistachio Galaxy S26 FE 8/512 GB suits parents and anyone who takes lots of photos and family videos and does not want to keep clearing storage. A main camera that copes with dim light, a wide ultra-wide lens and IP68 protection are useful both at home and outdoors. The cheerful green shade also makes the phone easy to spot on a table.
