Samsung is preparing to launch several new Galaxy devices this year. One of them is the Galaxy S26 FE, which is expected to arrive this fall. The device has already appeared on a few certification platforms and Geekbench earlier. Now a fresh CPU benchmark listing has surfaced, this time for the Korean variant.

Galaxy S26 FE makes an entry on Geekbench database again

Earlier this year, the Galaxy S26 FE appeared on Geekbench for the first time with its US-locked variant. Now, the Korean handset carrying model number SM-S741N has shown up as well. The device scored 2,255 points in the single-core test and 7,450 points in the multi-core test. It is powered by Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2500 chipset and packs 8GB of RAM. For this entry, it is running firmware version S741NKSU0AZFF. As expected, the software is based on Android 17 with One UI 9 skin on top.

The scores are slightly lower than the previous Geekbench tests, but that is completely normal. Benchmark results often vary depending on background processes and testing conditions. Overall, the upcoming S26 FE should still offer a noticeable performance upgrade over its predecessor, the Galaxy S25 FE, which uses the Exynos 2400 processor.

As for the rest of the specifications, not much is known at the moment. Based on what we have heard so far, Samsung could give the Galaxy S26 FE a design similar to the standard Galaxy S26. However, the camera module may sit slightly higher and closer to the top-left corner. This would give it a somewhat awkward look.

The Korean giant could also move from a matte texture to a glossy rear-panel finish, similar to the design seen on the Galaxy A57 and other recent mid-rangers. The reason could be a cost-cutting move in order to tackle rising production costs.

That said, we are still far away from the official launch. The company could debut the phone in the last quarter of this year so we will have to wait until then.
