Last week, news broke out that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will be delayed until October. Most importantly, the same report said that the smartphone will be limited to the US and Europe. Now, days later, another report reiterates the handset’s launch timeline, however, it suggests a different availability.

According to a report by Maeil Economic Daily (via FrontTron), the Galaxy S21 FE will be released in Q4 2021. The handset was supposed to launch in August. The reason for the delay is none other than the global semiconductor shortage.

Samsung is facing difficulties in procuring the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset for the successor of Galaxy S20 FE. Hence, the older report stated that the smartphone will be only launching in the US and Europe.

But now, the latest report says that the South Korean tech giant will be using its in-house Exynos 2100 SoC alongside the Snapdragon 888 to compensate for the shortage.

Unfortunately, it’s not known what region will be getting which variant of the device. But most likely, Samsung will release the Snapdragon 888 version in the US and Europe since they are the company’s key markets other than its home country South Korea.

As per previous reports, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will come with a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-O display with a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage, 12MP triple camera setup, 32MP selfie camera, One UI 3.1.1 based on Android 11, 4,500mAh battery, 25W fast wired charging, 15W fast wireless charging, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging.

Samsung is said to hold its next Galaxy Unpacked event on August 3.

A few days back, news broke out that the GalaxyS21 FE will be delayed by a month. The handset was supposed to debut alongside the new foldables and smartwatches in August. However, due to supply chain issues, it was said to launch a month later in September.

Now, a new report by Financial News (via SamMobile) sheds more info on this situation. A Samsung Electronics official partner confirms that the Galaxy S21 FE was indeed set to debut in August powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset. But now, the phone may be delayed until October. 

That’s not all, it may only release in the US and Europe. In other words, the smartphone may not even launch in the company’s home country South Korea.

The primary reason for the delay is unsurprisingly the shortage of Snapdragon 888 chips. Even the current stipulated October schedule is not guaranteed as the supply and demand of semiconductors is that serious. The units for the US and Europe could also be lowered than previously planned.

As per earlier reports, the Galaxy S21 FE will feature a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-O display with a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage, 12MP triple camera setup, 32MP selfie camera, One UI 3.1.1 based on Android 11, 4,500mAh battery, 25W fast wired charging, 15W fast wireless charging, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging.
