Earlier this year, I wrote about how I picked up a Galaxy S25 FE for my daughter and was instantly impressed. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about its successor. The Galaxy S26 FE is not a bad phone, but it is a pretty poor value. We’ve seen this play out a lot this year as companies raise pricing to deal with the RAM crisis, so I can’t say I’m too shocked.
Some of these things are outside of Samsung’s control, but I still believe there are things the company could have done to either lower the pricing or increase the perceived value. Below are just a few things I think would help the Galaxy FE series stand out in the future.
