A summary of confirmed leaks and credible reports ahead of Samsung’s August 2026 Galaxy event: chipset change, mostly unchanged design, battery and charging details, camera setup, software additions, expected pricing, and new Galaxy Tab S models.
Additionally, we think that Samsung will update its flagship Galaxy Tab S series with two new models.
We haven't heard anything about a memory upgrade – the previous S FE models came with 8GB of RAM and 128/256/512GB storage and we don't expect things to change this year.

# Quick summary Samsung's Galaxy Event on August 27, 2026 is expected to introduce the Galaxy S26 FE. Available reporting and certification filings give a clear picture of what will change and what will not: a new Exynos 2500 chipset, mostly the same body and display, a similar camera array with software-driven features, a reused battery capacity but a different cell, and higher leaked pricing.
# What's new: the Exynos 2500
# Design and display: carryover The S26 FE keeps the same 6.7-inch OLED 1080p+ panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate. Body thickness stays at 7.4 mm, the frame is aluminium (likely Armor Aluminum), and the front glass is Gorilla Glass Victus+. IP68 water and dust resistance is retained. Color options noted in leaks are Blueberry, Graphite and Pistachio.
# Memory and storage Leaked details show no change to RAM configurations compared with recent FE models: 8 GB of RAM paired with 128, 256 or 512 GB of storage. Sources point at unchanged configurations likely due to current memory pricing.
# Battery and charging Regulatory filings in Europe and Brazil indicate a 4,900 mAh battery, matching the S25 FE in capacity. Charging remains 45W wired (reported as 15V/3A or 10V/4.5A) and likely 15W wireless. The new cell is rated for 1,200 charge cycles before capacity drops below 80%, versus 2,000 cycles on earlier FE batteries. Reports also cite a longer single-charge endurance figure—around 50 hours—attributed mainly to the more efficient chipset.
# Cameras: hardware mostly the same, software updated
# Price and software support Leaked Euro prices show higher retail tags compared with the S25 FE: example differences include a roughly €50–€170 increase depending on storage. Samsung will continue to offer 7 OS updates and 7 years of security patches for new Galaxy S models.
# Galaxy Tab S12 line hints Reports suggest Samsung will also refresh its flagship tablets with a Tab S12+ (12.4-inch, MediaTek Dimensity 9500, possible battery increase) and a Tab S12 Ultra (14.6-inch, same 11,600 mAh battery and 45W charging as the prior Ultra). Details here are less complete but align with Samsung's alternating update pattern for the Tab S range.
# Bottom line
