- Two apparent Galaxy S26 FE hands-on videos have been posted online in recent days.
- The videos show off the phone in Purple or Violet, along with features like Horizontal Lock video capture.
- These clips suggest that the launch window is very close.
Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S26 FE in the coming weeks, and we’ve already seen plenty of leaked renders and specs. However, two new videos may have given us an extended real-world look at the upcoming phone.
A TikTok account called @_samz02 posted an almost 90-second-long clip showing off an apparent Galaxy S26 FE. The video seems to be from Malaysia and was filmed at what looks like a Samsung product area in a store.
The video shows the phone’s design, featuring a Purple/Violet Galaxy S26 FE and a camera housing in line with the Galaxy S26. We also get confirmation of a 4,900mAh battery, 120Hz display, and Horizontal Lock video capture. The creator even posted photo samples on TikTok, as seen below.
Meanwhile, TikTok account @samsungcentralsquare also posted an apparent Galaxy S26 FE hands-on video, which was shared on X by @VerdeSelvans. The video is just over 30 seconds long and also runs down a few purported specs. Check it out below.

This video also shows off a Purple/Violet phone with that familiar camera housing, along with One UI 9 atop Android 17, Horizontal Lock video capture, and a 120Hz refresh rate.
One or both clips also mention an Exynos 2500 chipset, 45W charging speeds, and a 50MP/12MP/8MP rear camera setup. But it’s unclear whether this info was obtained from the demo units or merely repeated from previous leaks.
In any event, it’s clear that we’re very close to the Galaxy S26 FE’s launch window if units are starting to appear in the wild. Unfortunately, an earlier leak suggests we could be looking at a higher price compared to the S25 FE.
