Samsung Galaxy S26 FE leaks online with redesigned camera layout

The first real-life photo of the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE has appeared online, showing a noticeable update to the smartphone's camera design. The image was first reported by 9to5Google.

The Fan Edition device is expected to launch officially in August or September, but a unit carrying the model number SM-S741 has already surfaced in the WPC certification database, giving the first clear look at the upcoming smartphone ahead of release.

The most visible change compared with the previous Galaxy S25 FE is a raised camera module on the back of the phone. Samsung has used a similar design language in its foldable Galaxy Z Fold lineup over the past two generations, and it now appears to be expanding the same direction to its Fan Edition series.

The placement of the lenses, however, looks somewhat unusual. The camera module sits noticeably close to the top and side edges of the chassis, an arrangement that has rarely been seen on previous Samsung flagships.

Technical details of the device remain limited for now. The Galaxy S26 FE is expected to ship with the Exynos 2500 processor and 8 GB of RAM, with the rest of the specifications likely to surface closer to the official launch.
