September 18 marks the Galaxy S26 FE’s open sale debut in India, with the 8GB/256GB model priced at ₹79,999 after pre-orders closed on September 17.
Samsung’s eStore is already selling the phone, while wider availability across Amazon India, Flipkart and offline partners such as SmartCafé, Croma and Vijay Sales typically begins from 12 PM IST.
Launch incentives include a ₹7,000 instant bank cashback, an exchange bonus of up to ₹8,000 and no-cost EMI options stretching to 30 months; Samsung’s eStore also offers an 18-month bank EMI plan.
India gets only the higher-tier 256GB variant, unlike some global markets that also received a 128GB model.
The S26 FE carries a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, 3nm Exynos 2500 chip, 50MP triple-camera system, 4,900mAh battery and seven years of Android and security updates.
