It starts at a rather steep $600. Why steep? Well, it&#8217;s mostly unchanged from its predecessor. <\/p>\n<p>Speaking of unchanged, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 FE. It has a new chipset, runs the newest One UI 9 with a host of new Galaxy AI features, but packs otherwise the same specs as its predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>The Galaxy S26 FE will be available from September 4 in four colors \u2013 Blueberry, Pistachio, Graphite, and White. Prices start from \u20ac700.<\/p>\n<p>Poco is gearing up for the F9 series launch and has now confirmed the chips powering its two top models. The F9 Pro gets the Snapdragon 8 Elite, while the F9 Ultra goes all-in with the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, giving Poco\u2019s flagship lineup some serious firepower.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/sony_xperia_10_viii_is_a_350_midranger_with_a_600_starting_price_-news-74308.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1788142464_247_gsmarena_000.jpg\" alt=\"Sony Xperia 10 VIII is official with microSD slot, few upgrades\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sony&#8217;s latest midranger is basically last year&#8217;s phone with a new coat of paint.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<br class=\"clear\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/the_samsung_galaxy_s26_fe_arrives_with_a_new_chipset_and_a_host_of_one_ui_9_features-news-74363.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1788142464_71_gsmarena_000.jpg\" alt=\"The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE arrives with a new chipset and a host of One UI 9 features\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The new features include My FanCam, Horizon Lock, Photo Assist, custom widgets for Now Brief and more.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<br class=\"clear\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/poco_officially_confirms_the_chipsets_for_the_poco_f9_pro_and_f9_ultra-news-74322.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1788142465_679_gsmarena_000.jpg\" alt=\"Poco officially confirms the chipsets for the Poco F9 Pro and F9 Ultra\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The two phones will be officially unveiled next Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<br class=\"clear\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Galaxy S27 Ultra made the rounds in a couple of leaks this week, with fresh CAD renders giving us our best look yet at Samsung\u2019s next flagship.
