Samsung Galaxy S26 FE South Korean Variant – Geekbench Listing
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 FE smartphone has now been spotted on the Geekbench database, and the listed model number is “SM-S741N”. Looking at how Samsung marks its model numbers, this appears to be the South Korean variant of the upcoming Galaxy S26 FE smartphone.
Speaking more about its performance specs, the Geekbench listing reveals that the device is equipped with a deca-core processor. Its CPU configuration includes two cores clocked at 1.80GHz, five cores clocked at 2.36GHz, two cores clocked at 2.75GHz, and one prime core clocked at 3.30GHz.
The chipset is paired with the Xclipse 950 GPU, Android 17 operating system, and 8GB of RAM. While the CPU cores and GPU details already give a hint regarding the processor, the motherboard section further mentions the chipset codename as “s5e9955”, suggesting that at least the South Korean variant of the Galaxy S26 FE will be powered by the Exynos 2500 processor.
Coming to its performance scores, the prototype has managed to achieve a single-core score of 2255 points and a multi-core score of 7450 points on Geekbench. To note, the US carrier-unlocked variant of the device carrying the model number “SM-S741U” was also spotted earlier with similar specs, hinting that all regional models of the Galaxy S26 FE may arrive with the same chipset this year.
Regarding its charging specs, the earlier WPC certification had revealed that the device will support the Qi 2.2.1 wireless charging standard, similar to what was seen on the Galaxy S26 series launched earlier this year. Furthermore, it was listed with the Base Power Profile (BPP), which carries a baseline maximum load power of 5W, instead of the Magnetic Power Profile (MPP).
This hints that the Galaxy S26 FE may not feature built-in magnets, and as a result, Qi2 magnetic chargers, power banks, and wallets may not attach directly to the device. Users will likely have to use a magnetic protective case for proper alignment and attachment.
Just like its predecessor, the Galaxy S26 FE is also expected to have its global launch around September or October this year.
Stay tuned for more updates.
