The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE is the fan edition in the popular Galaxy S26 lineup. It's a midranger smartphone with specs to match, and that's reflected in the affordable $699.99 price tag for the 128GB model.
As affordable as that is, Mint Mobile beats it by offering an incredible $400 off when you purchase the Galaxy S26 FE at the same time as buying a 12-month Unlimited plan. That makes the overall bundle cost just $480 compared to the usual $880. That's quite the savings.
This limited-time deal is available only to new Mint Mobile customers, but it's one of the best offers we've seen on one of Samsung's latest phones. If you were looking for a mid-range phone that doesn't break the bank then this is it.
When we reviewed the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE, we gave the phone three out of five stars. That doesn't sound great on the face of it, but let's not forget how affordable it is — even without this huge $400 Mint Mobile discount.
One of the points we made in our review was that it's "not a flagship, but the price makes you think twice." The Galaxy S26 FE is for customers who are happy making a few compromises in pursuit of some great features at a fantastic price.
Let's be upfront about the downsides. There's a lack of uniform bezels, and Qi2 magnets are nonexistent. The rear camera also underperforms in outdoor conditions. If these are minor concerns to you, then the Galaxy S26 FE is a great choice.
The big positives are the Samsung Exynos 2500 chipset, which is decent, and the 6.7-inch display, which is larger than most mid-range smartphones. To own a phone that is fast and has a large display are two things at the top of a lot of people's wishlists when buying a new device.
