Purchased a s26 FE

Makeandsave

My last mobile was a S22 there was no FE, I purchased a S26 FE I have opened the box never knew there was a FE model till now. Is there much difference? Silly question but is it better then the S22 and will the battery last longer? Ive had my s22 for 3 years and its been great for my needs, I have googled is the FE a good phone and it says it is but I don't like to take AIs word. Thank you.

I love my s26 - its a massive jump from the s22, the FE is the 'budget' model but it is still very well specced so you should be good.

You should notice significantly longer battery life.

It's better than the S22. You won't have any problems changing over. It ships with UI9, so is the latest OS.

The main difference between it and the S26/S26Plus is the screen resolution and a different chip and only 8gb of RAM. So may struggle with some multitasking and some gaming, if that's your thing.

Have a look here . There's not much in it, the S26FE has the same memory, same screen resolution but on a bigger screen, has slightly brighter peak brightness and slightly faster processor. One of the rear cameras is downgraded compared to the S22 and another doesn't have steady video, but the front camera is improved https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=11253&idPhone2=14870

The S26 and S26 FE are really completely different devices. However, if the OP was happy with an S22 then the S26 FE will do them fine.

Under the hood they are definitely very different. In the hand for an average user who doesn't really care about phones that much, size and weight aside, there are very few noticeable differences unless you have them side by side in a close comparison.

The S26 FE has a 4,900 mAh battery, compared with 3,700 mAh in the standard S22. It would be reasonable to expect better battery life, particularly compared with a three-year-old S22. The CPU is also much more capable.

S26 FE is bigger in size

I would like to say a BIG thank you for your posts, I love my S22 its done me so well its just the battery does not keep a long charge i would love to keep it longer wish i could replace battery. I use my phone for watching Youtube, playing candy crush (not a lot) chatting and social stuff. I use it for taking photos and videos on holiday. I was just confused about the FE and none FE version but i think this will do my needs. Reading the replies has made me feel less stressed that i rushed my purchase. Once again thank you for taking time to reply to this post.

Look, the processor and the amount of ram are different. The screen is different. The cameras are different. They are completely different devices. Yes , a lot of users won't notice muchif these differences. But that's the same for just about ANY of the Samsung devices..

The question was 'Is it any good'……The answer is Yes…
