The certification image shows a design closely resembling the standard Galaxy S26 launched earlier this year.
It adopts Samsung's 2026 design language with a flat body frame and a protruding rear camera module.
This is not the first sighting of the Galaxy S26 FE.
It previously appeared on Geekbench, scoring 2,426 single-core and 8,004 multi-core in version 6.2.2.
