Samsung Lists Galaxy S26 FE and Tab S12 Pair on Bluetooth SIG Ahead of September Launch

3 articles · Updated · SammyGuru · Aug 9

Summary

  • Bluetooth SIG entries have surfaced for the Galaxy S26 FE, Galaxy Tab S12+, and Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra, confirming the product names and multiple regional variants weeks before Samsung’s expected September launch.
  • Six S26 FE model numbers appeared, covering global, Korean, US carrier-locked, factory-unlocked, and Canadian versions, while the tablets were listed only as Plus and Ultra models.
  • No standard Tab S12 has shown up in the filings, suggesting Samsung may skip the base model this cycle and focus its flagship tablet lineup on the two higher-end versions.
  • All three devices are expected to ship with Android 17-based One UI 9, with the S26 FE tipped to use Exynos 2500 and the tablets likely to run MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500.
  • Hardware changes are expected to be modest versus the prior generation, but rising chipset and manufacturing costs could still lead Samsung to raise prices.
