6.7-Inch AMOLED Display With 120Hz Refresh Rate
The Galaxy S26 FE features a 6.7-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 2340×1080-pixel resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel can reach a peak brightness of up to 1,900 nits, making it suitable for outdoor viewing.

The phone comes with 8GB RAM, while storage options include 128GB, 256GB and 512GB.
On the software front, the device runs One UI 9 based on Android 17. Samsung has promised up to seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates, potentially making the phone a long-term option for buyers.
