  • SM-S741B, the Galaxy S26 FE global variant, has appeared on Samsung internal servers in India, Europe and Turkey, extending last week's sightings in the US and Korea.
  • Firmware version S741BXXU0AZE6 shows the phone is testing One UI 9 based on Android 17, which the report says it should ship with out of the box.
  • Server listings still reveal no hardware details, though the build uses SHA256 hashing already seen on Galaxy Tab S12+ and Tab S12 Ultra software.
  • Leaks so far point to a standard Galaxy S26-like design and an Exynos 2500 chip, with Samsung expected to unveil the FE model around October.
