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.

At the beginning of this year, Samsung announced the Galaxy S21 FE 5G with Exynos 2100 onboard in India. According to GalaxyClub.nl, the South Korean company is working on a 4G variant of the S21 FE. A support page for the smartphone has gone live on Samsung Netherlands’ website, which indicates that it may not take too long for it to go official.

The SM-G990B model number belongs to the regular Galaxy S21 FE. It has been found that a new variant of the device with the SM-G990B2 model number could be in the works. The support page available on Samsung Netherlands’ site mentions the model number.

In addition, the SM-G990B2 variant has appeared in the database of the Bluetooth SIG certification platform. The listing revealed that the device carries support for Bluetooth 5.2. The publication further revealed that the device has appeared in two Scandinavian online shops. Both listings have mentioned the key specs of the device.

The retailer listing has revealed that the Galaxy S21 FE 4G will be powered by the Snapdragon 720G. The listing also says that it has a 6.4-inch screen with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, Android 12 OS, a 4,500mAh battery, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of storage.

For photography, the Galaxy S21 FE 4G may feature a 32-megapixel front camera, and a 12-megapixel + 12-megapixel + 8-megapixel triple camera unit. Except for the change in the chipset department, the rest of the specs of the S21 FE 4G seem to be identical to its 5G sibling.

It is unclear why Samsung is planning to launch a 4G version of the S21 FE. It appears that the device will be succeeding the Exynos 990 powered Galaxy S20 FE 4G, which was announced back in October 2020.
