Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 FE has surfaced in several reports over the past few weeks. More recently, the smartphone has been spotted on the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) certification platform. The latest certification listing not only confirms the device unofficially but also reveals details related to its wireless charging capabilities and design via a live image. Here are more details.
Samsung Galaxy S26 FE in WPC Database
The WPC database listing identifies the upcoming smartphone with the model number ‘SM-S741*’ and officially confirms its name as the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE. The appearance of the device on the certification platform further strengthens expectations that Samsung is preparing to introduce a new Fan Edition smartphone in the Galaxy S26 lineup.
According to the certification details, the Galaxy S26 FE has received the Qi ID ‘27292’ and is certified for the latest Qi 2.2.1 wireless charging standard.
However, the upcoming FE model is listed under the Base Power Profile (BPP) similar to the Galaxy S26 series launched earlier this year. BPP supports a baseline maximum load power of 5W rather than the Magnetic Power Profile (MPP).
This suggests that the Galaxy S26 FE may not feature built-in magnets for Qi2 accessories. As a result, magnetic chargers, wallets, and power banks designed for Qi2 may not attach directly to the smartphone. Users may need to rely on magnetic protective cases to ensure proper alignment and compatibility with such accessories.
Samsung Galaxy S26 FE Design Revealed via WPC Certification
Thanks to the live image revealed through the certification listing, we now have an early look of the phone. The image shows the smartphone in a Black colour option where both the front and rear panels appear to feature a flat design language.
On the back, the device is equipped with three camera sensors arranged vertically within a pill-shaped camera module closely resembling the design seen on the Galaxy S26.
An interesting detail was highlighted by 9To5Google in its report. The publication pointed out that the placement of the camera module appears slightly unusual. The upper portion of the module seems positioned very close to the top edge of the device that makes its alignment look somewhat different from previous Galaxy models.
As for specification, rarlier reports had also revealed details about a prototype of the Galaxy S26 FE through a Geekbench database appearance. The benchmark listing indicated that the smartphone could be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2500 chipset and run Android 16 out of the box. The prototype was also shown with 8GB of RAM.
Reports have claimed that Samsung is most likely to unveil the Galaxy S26 FE during September or October this year. If true, this would mean the Korean brand is following a schedule similar to its predecessor the Galaxy S25 FE.
