Earlier today, Samsung officially announced the Galaxy S21 FE. Just like the reports stated, the smartphone arrives with two different chipsets depending on the market it is sold in. Samsung has even revealed which markets get what silicon but not in a detailed manner.
According to a report by SamMobile, the South Korean tech giant has confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chip in the US as well as Europe. For the unaware, the latter region usually gets the Exynos variant.
This is not the first time a flagship Galaxy product is coming with a Qualcomm chipset in Europe. The last year’s Galaxy S20 FE 5G also featured the SoC from the US-based chipmaker in Europe. However, the original Galaxy S20 and the Galaxy S21 models feature Exynos silicon.
As far as other regions are concerned, there is a Galaxy S21 FE variant with ‘E’ in its model number. SamMobile points out that this version will house the Exynos 2100 SoC. The publication also says that Samsung will be offering this variant in most Asian countries.
But unfortunately, the exact regions that will be receiving the Exynos version are not known at the moment. We expect to learn more about them once Samsung starts revealing the availability of the handset in those markets.
