Back in January, Samsung unveiled the fan edition Galaxy S21 FE. Unlike the previous-gen S20 FE, which came in two different variants, the S21 FE got launched in just one iteration featuring 5G connectivity with Snapdragon 888 Soc under the hood. But recently, there were rumors that Samsung is working on a cheaper Galaxy S21 FE 4G variant with model number SM-G990B2. However, it seems that rumors are false and there is no S21 FE 4G as SM-G990B2 has been spotted on the Google Play Supported device list as a 5G device.
Rumors suggested that Samsung is planning to surprise us with a 4G variant of S21 FE, the smartphone was said to be in the works with model number SM-G990B2. It was also reported that the rumored smartphone will be powered by a downgraded Snapdragon 720G SoC. However, the folks over at MySmartPrice have spotted SM-G990B2 on Google Play Supported device list as “Samsung S21 FE 5G”.
This cancels the possibility of a 4G variant. However, Samsung might release the SM-G990B2 with Snapdragon 720G SoC to dominate the mid-range segment. As usual, there’s no official word from Samsung about the rumored smartphone.
Talking about the Snapdragon 720 Soc that is rumored to be inside the SM-G990B2, it is a significant downgrade when compared to the Snapdragon 888. 720 was used in the mid-range Galaxy A52 and also in a plethora of Redmi smartphones.
To recall, Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G flaunts a 6.4-inch Full HD+ Dynamic AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The handset is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor. Galaxy S21 FE houses a triple-rear camera setup on the back that includes a 12MP primary sensor with OIS support, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and an 8MP telephoto lens. It is fueled by a 4500mAh battery and supports 25W charging.
