Samsung appears to be preparing for the launch of the Galaxy S26 FE, as the upcoming smartphone has reportedly appeared on another certification platform. While the listing suggests the launch could be getting closer, it also indicates that users shouldn’t expect a faster charging upgrade this year.
According to a recent report, the Galaxy S26 FE has been spotted on the UL Demko certification database, where multiple model numbers linked to the device were listed. The certification reportedly confirms support for 45W wired fast charging, matching the charging speed offered by the current Samsung Galaxy S25 FE.

No Charging Speed Upgrade Expected
Although many smartphone makers continue to increase charging speeds, Samsung seems to be sticking with its existing 45W wired charging solution for the Galaxy S26 FE. If the certification details prove accurate, the upcoming Fan Edition phone will offer the same charging performance as its predecessor rather than introducing a faster standard.
While some users may find this disappointing, Samsung has traditionally prioritised battery longevity and thermal management over ultra-fast charging speeds.
India Launch Could Be Around the Corner
The latest certification follows the Galaxy S26 FE’s earlier appearance on the Bureau of India Standards (BIS) website, which strongly hints that the smartphone could launch in India in the near future.
Samsung has not officially announced a launch date yet, but multiple certifications often indicate that a product is nearing its official debut.
Exynos 2500 Chipset Expected
Previous Geekbench listings suggested that the Galaxy S26 FE could be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2500 processor. The benchmark also hinted at 8GB RAM (listed as approximately 6.8GB usable memory) and Android 17 out of the box.
However, since these details come from benchmark databases rather than Samsung itself, the final specifications could still change before launch.
What the Galaxy S25 FE Offers
For reference, Samsung introduced the Galaxy S25 FE in India in September last year with a starting price of Rs. 59,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant.
The smartphone features:
- 6.7-inch Full HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display
- 120Hz refresh rate
- Up to 1,900 nits peak brightness
- Exynos 2400 processor
- 45W wired fast charging
The Galaxy S26 FE is expected to build upon this foundation while offering performance improvements through its next-generation chipset.

Final Thoughts
The latest certification listing suggests Samsung may focus on refining the Galaxy S26 FE rather than making major hardware changes. While the expected Exynos 2500 chip and newer Android version could deliver improved performance, the charging experience is likely to remain unchanged with 45W wired fast charging.
Samsung has yet to confirm any official specifications or launch timeline, so these details should be treated as preliminary until the company makes an announcement.
