Last week, the Galaxy S26 FE appeared on Samsung’s test servers in the US and Korea, confirming its ongoing development. Now, the phone has appeared on official servers across several other markets. Samsung is expected to take the wraps off the device around October this year.

Galaxy S26 FE’s international variant spotted on servers

The Galaxy S26 FE has appeared on Samsung’s internal servers in markets like India, Europe, and Turkey with firmware version S741BXXU0AZE6. The phone carries model number SM-S741B, which means it is the global variant, and Samsung is preparing for a wider launch.

It also confirms that the device is running One UI 9 based on Android 17. It should ship with the same software out of the box. The build uses SHA256 hash, the one used on builds for the Galaxy Tab S12+ and Tab S12 Ultra as well. Samsung will likely stick to this format for future Galaxy devices launching with One UI 9 or higher.

That said, the server listing does not reveal any hardware details. Since the launch is still a few months away, information remains limited. What we know so far is that the Galaxy S26 FE may adopt a design similar to the standard Galaxy S26 launched earlier this year. This includes Samsung’s new raised camera plateau layout, slim bezels, and a noticeable design upgrade over its predecessor. This should give the phone a more refined overall look.

Under the hood, the S26 FE is expected to use Samsung’s Exynos 2500 chip. This chip debuted with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE last year. Samsung usually reserves its latest flagship chipsets for premium Galaxy S models. Meanwhile, FE devices often arrive with the previous generation processor.

More leaks, certifications, and most importantly, the CAD renders should surface in the coming months. This will give us a better look at the Galaxy S26 FE’s hardware and design. For now, Samsung is likely focused on its next big Unpacked event on July 22, where it should unveil its Z8 foldables.
