The Galaxy S26 FE is a mid-range phone that's meant to feel like a flagship. Samsung delivers this by being careful about what it includes, often cutting features many people won't miss. For the most part, it's a fairly complete smartphone, and we can easily recommend it when it's down to a good price. That's the case right now, with Metro dropping the Galaxy S26 FE to just $150 with sign-up.

Samsung launched the Galaxy S26 series in late February this year with prices $100 higher than those of its predecessor. That was all thanks to the ongoing DRAM and NAND pricing crisis.

Naturally, these inventions aren't real products you can buy, but they do a good job of driving interest in Google's Gboard app that many people use every day.
