Yesterday, Samsung launched its new Galaxy S Fan Edition smartphone, the Galaxy S26 FE, the successor to the Galaxy S25 FE. Following the launch, the brand shared the phone’s pricing and availability details for Europe and the US. Now, the company has revealed when people in India will be able to purchase it.
Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy S26 FE will go on sale in India on September 18, 2026. That’s later than in Europe and the US, where the phone will be available from September 4 and September 3, respectively. The tech giant has yet to reveal the phone’s price for the Indian market.
That said, we can make an educated guess about the Galaxy S26 FE’s Indian price based on how Samsung priced its predecessor. The Galaxy S25 FE cost $649 in the US and INR 59,999 in India. This means the brand effectively used a conversion rate of around INR 92.44 to $1 for the Indian market, which was 4.54% higher than the actual exchange rate of around INR 88 at the time.
The Galaxy S26 FE costs $699 in the US, while the current exchange rate is around INR 95 to $1. If the company applies a similar premium of around 5% to the current exchange rate, the effective conversion rate would be close to INR 100 to $1. That would put the Galaxy S26 FE’s estimated starting price at around INR 70,000 in India. You can watch our video below to learn more about the phone.
