Samsung Galaxy S26 FE, Nothing Phone (3), and More Deals – This Week
Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 FE earlier this week, and the phone is set to go on sale on Friday, September 4. The new model is more expensive than its predecessor, but it brings a solid list of upgrades under the hood.
The Galaxy S26 FE runs on the Exynos 2500 processor (also seen in the Z Flip7) and ships with Android 17 and One UI 9 out of the box. It features a 6.7-inch 1080p+ 120Hz display, a triple camera setup with 50MP, 8MP, and 12MP sensors, and a 4,900mAh battery supporting 45W wired and 15W wireless charging.
If you are looking for alternatives, the Galaxy S25 FE is currently out of stock. The Samsung Galaxy A57 is a cheaper option with a similar 6.7-inch 1080p+ OLED display, but it uses the older Exynos 1680 chip, has a 50MP + 12MP camera setup (no 3x telephoto), and a 5,000mAh battery with only 45W wired charging.
For those who prefer the mainline S26 series, here is a quick comparison:
– **Galaxy S26**: 6.3-inch display, 4,300mAh battery, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage.
– **Galaxy S26 Plus**: 6.7-inch OLED LTPO 1440p+ display, 4,900mAh battery with 45W wired charging, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 12GB RAM.
– **Galaxy S26 Ultra**: 6.9-inch 1440p+ LTPO display with Privacy mode and S Pen support, 200MP main camera, 10MP 3x telephoto, 50MP 5x telephoto, 50MP ultra-wide.
Outside of Samsung, the Nothing Phone (3) stands out. It has a 6.67-inch 1260p+ display, Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, triple 50MP cameras (including a 1/1.3-inch main sensor, 3x telephoto, and 114-degree ultra-wide), and a 5,150mAh battery with 65W wired and 15W wireless charging.
For a more affordable option, consider the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro. It features a 50MP main camera (1/1.56-inch), a 50MP 3.5x telephoto, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 32MP selfie camera. The 6.83-inch 144Hz OLED display offers 1260p+ resolution, and the 5,080mAh battery supports 50W wired charging. It is rated IP65, which is modest for this class but fine for daily use.
At around $700, you can choose between an 8/128GB Galaxy S26 FE or a 16/512GB Nothing Phone (3) – quite a difference, isn’t it?
Also, the Galaxy Z Fold8, Z Fold8 Ultra, and Z Flip8 are still available at MSRP, and you can still grab the Amazon gift card and trade-in bonus even weeks after pre-orders ended.
