Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 FE has appeared in its first apparent real-world image, thanks to a newly published certification entry on the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) database. The listing not only confirms the device’s name but also reveals the model number SM-S741, giving us an early look at Samsung’s next Fan Edition smartphone.
The image, published as part of the Qi certification process, shows a design that closely follows Samsung’s current flagship language. The phone features a flat display with slim bezels and a centered hole-punch camera on the front. Around the back, Samsung appears to be sticking with a vertically arranged triple-camera setup inside a pill-shaped housing.
While the overall design won’t surprise anyone familiar with recent Galaxy devices, this is the first time the Galaxy S26 FE has been seen outside of renders or benchmark listings.
WPC listing confirms Galaxy S26 FE branding
The certification entry identifies the device as the Galaxy S26 FE and lists the manufacturer part number as SM-S741*. The phone carries Qi ID 27292 and has been certified under the Qi 2.2.1 wireless charging standard. Certification was granted on June 6, 2026.
One detail stands out in the documentation. Like the standard Galaxy S26 series, the Fan Edition model is listed under the Base Power Profile (BPP) rather than the Magnetic Power Profile (MPP). The certification page also notes a maximum load power of 5W under the tested profile.
That does not necessarily reflect the phone’s final wireless charging speed, but it does suggest Samsung may once again skip integrated Qi2-style magnets. If that’s the case, users would likely need a magnetic case to use magnetic chargers and accessories.
Familiar design, updated hardware expected
The certification image shows a device that closely resembles the recently launched Galaxy S26 lineup. Flat sides, a minimalist rear panel, and a vertically stacked camera arrangement all align with Samsung’s current design direction.
Beyond the design, earlier benchmark results have suggested that Samsung may use its Exynos 2500 chipset in at least some Galaxy S26 FE variants, alongside Android 17 and 8GB of RAM. Those specifications remain unconfirmed for now, but the WPC appearance suggests the device is moving closer to launch.
Samsung has traditionally introduced its FE models several months after the main Galaxy S series launch. With certifications now appearing and real-world images emerging, attention may soon shift to pricing and whether the Galaxy S26 FE can continue offering flagship-level features at a lower cost than the rest of the S26 family.
