Samsung Galaxy S26 FE vs Samsung Galaxy A57
Our take
The S26 FE is the more capable phone, with a faster Exynos 2500, a 3x zoom lens, wireless charging and seven years of updates instead of six. The A57 is lighter, 179 g versus 193 g, and its battery life is about as good.
Choose the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE
Pay the extra for the zoom lens and for a chip that handles games better. Wireless charging is a nice bonus the A57 doesn't have.
Choose the Samsung Galaxy A57
Enough if you don't zoom and don't game much, and you'd rather keep the price difference. It's also 14 g lighter and only 6.9 mm thick.
