    This is without doubt the WORST phone I have ever owned. I can't use it in my house and have to stand outside to receive a call. Drops calls constantly. It is of no use to me if I can't actually use the PHONE function

      Anton th3 papy, 12 Sep 2026Another pricey mid-ranger... next year we'll see phone... moreS26 FE has a better SOC than S24+ while S24+ has more RAM. S26 FE will get 2 more years of OS support but it might be irrelevant since it only got 8GB of RAM.

      Everything else about these 2 models is equally shit.

        S21FE with samsung dex, 4.2*
        S26FE with downgraded port, no wired dex, 4.2*

        Do you even bother or you just copy paste ratings?

              If so, go for the S26 FE.
              And HyperOS has improved quite a lot in the last years.

                    Search for Xiaomi 17T Pro, it's in promo in some stores in Europe for 550-600 and totally destroys this S26 FE in literally everything: cameras, screen, performance, battery etc

                      Everyone needs to get this through their thick skull! All of Samsung devices are trackers, not only that but Samsung installs apps without our permission that can never be uninstalled! When will you ppl learn Samsung will not respect its user demands and keep making lagging, garbage phones then charge outrageous prices! my Advice is to completely drop Samsung and all of its devices!

                        3 months still no android 17. Shame on you Samsung

                          I'm not sure why to get an FE model here in America. It makes much more sense to get last year's Plus model when the new one comes out. You get a much better phone than the FE, but the same size and at the same price.

                            Imo if Samsung going to continue cutting off flagship features from the FE, they should just make it into a A7x or A9x model.

                              I think the FE series is obsolete. It doesn't make the numbers in sales, and people will either go for the A57 or for the S26. Also don't understand the S26 pro or okusnor whatever that non so well selling device is called. That one also is kinda obsolete.

                                Battery life isn't great but then FE models have always had poor battery life. This one does a bit better than the predecessors. It shows that Exynos is improving.

                                  jason, 12 Sep 2026Unfriendly reminders to all Samsung haters out there: - Sa... moreSimply false statements. We were all Samsung, a52, a53,a54, fe21, fe24 and gave up to Chinese/apple to enjoy full day battery.
                                  You must work or be paid by Samsung.

                                    Family of 5, we were all Samsung. But when come time to change, nobody wanted Samsung anymore for the very weak batteries. The S24 was the worst phone ever, could not keep charge a day. I roamed forums, noticed many in my case, tried countless checks and parameters change. Finally found the cure : I crossed to dark forces and bought an iphone 17. Wife is happy.

                                        Meanwhile...

                                        "An unlike its predecessor, the S26 FE does not have DisplayPort video output over USB-C. Bummer. To be clear, there is still DeX, but it's only wireless. "

                                        Congratz Samsung, you have lost a client, also you just destroyed an the S FE series and for me this is just a Galaxy A77 now.
