Welcome to your week’s recap. The Galaxy S26 FE will get 45W charging. We also saw the phone’s first renders, albeit low-res ones. Its design is likely to remain nearly identical for yet another year.
The camera hardware of the upcoming Galaxy S26 series was tipped. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to feature a 200MP main camera, potentially paired with a larger 1/1.1-inch Sony sensor. Next is a 50MP 5x zoom. The Galaxy S26 Edge will feature a 50MP ultrawide camera (possibly also on the Ultra model). The Galaxy S26 may keep the same old camera system.
