However, the phone&#8217;s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification has revealed an interesting mix of Samsung and Qualcomm hardware.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nGalaxy S26 FE uses Exynos 5G modem and a Qualcomm Wi-Fi\/Bluetooth chip\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Galaxy S26 FE recently received FCC certification, and its <a href=\"https:\/\/fccid.io\/A3LSMS741U\/RF-Exposure-Info\/Part-1-RF-Exposure-Report-9511596\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">RF exposure test documents<\/a> reveal that the phone uses Samsung System LSI (S.LSI) hardware for WWAN (3G\/4G\/5G) connectivity and Qualcomm FastConnect hardware for WLAN (Wi-Fi) connectivity.\n<\/p>\n<p>            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Samsung-Galaxy-S26-FE-FCC-Certification-Exynos-5G-Modem-Snapdragon-Wi-Fi-WLAN.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy S26 FE FCC Certification Exynos 5G Modem Snapdragon Wi-Fi WLAN\" class=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"image-credit\" data-nosnippet=\"true\">Asif Iqbal Shaik \/ SamMobile\n                                            <\/p>\n<p class=\"image-caption\" data-nosnippet=\"true\">Mention of S.LSI modem and Qualcomm FastConnect in Galaxy S26 FE&#8217;s FCC certification documents\n                                                                                <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">S.LSI refers to Samsung Electronics&#8217; System LSI division, which designs Exynos processors, cellular modems, and ISOCELL camera sensors. FastConnect, on the other hand, is Qualcomm&#8217;s suite of technologies used for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi performance.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, it appears that global and US variants of the Galaxy S26 FE will pair an Exynos cellular modem with a Qualcomm chip for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. This represents a notable change from previous devices like the Galaxy S25 FE, which exclusively relied on in-house Samsung components across all wireless transmission duties.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWhat else to expect from the Galaxy S26 FE?\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The phone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/major-galaxy-s26-fe-leak-reveals-chip-performance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">uses the Exynos 2500 processor<\/a> paired with 8GB of RAM. It is expected to come in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB versions. It has a 12MP selfie camera, a 50MP primary camera with OIS, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is powered by a 4,900mAh battery. The phone supports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/galaxy-s26-fe-retains-45w-fast-charging-new-listing-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">45W fast wired charging<\/a> and 15W fast wireless charging. It could run One UI 9.0 out of the box and come with a promise of seven major generations of Android OS upgrades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung could unveil the Galaxy S26 FE next month, and the device is expected to exclusively use the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":111851,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[26581,26536,23122,127,276,13575],"class_list":["post-111850","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-samsung-electronics","tag-exynos","tag-galaxy-s26-fe","tag-qualcomm","tag-samsung","tag-samsung-electronics","tag-system-lsi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111850\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=111850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=111850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
