The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is in the news for the past few weeks. This device will be the successor to last year’s Galaxy S20 FE, which is still one of the best Android smartphones available in the market. Ahead of this device’s launch later this year, information about its battery appears on the internet.

A new report by GalaxyClub reveals the codename and battery capacity of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S21 FE. According to the publication, this smartphone codenamed R9 will be backed by a 4,500mAh battery. 

The battery inside the phone with model number EB-BG990ABY will have a rated capacity of 4,370mAh. This particular battery is associated with the Galaxy S21 FE because of the handset’s model number – SM-G990B.

According to previous reports, the Galaxy S21 FE will feature a similar design as the Galaxy S21. It will flaunt a 6.4-inch display with a centered punch-hole. Hence, it will measure 155.7 x 71.45 x 7.9mm in dimensions. In other words, it will be larger than the Galaxy S21 but smaller than its predecessor Galaxy S20 FE.

Lastly, the Galaxy S21 FE will sport the same 32MP selfie camera as found on the Galaxy A52/A72 and will be available in five colors (grey/silver, green, pink, purple, white). It is expected to go official at a Galaxy Unpacked event on August 19.

Samsung launched the Galaxy S20 FE last year and brought back the Fan Edition hype to the flagship series. At that time, reports said that company plans to drop the ‘Lite’ editions and bring more ‘FE’ in the future. Ascertaining that, a fresh report by Sammobile says it’s already working on the Galaxy S21 FE.

A Samsung phone with model number SM-G990B is in the works. The report says that this could be the next FE model in 2021 i.e., Samsung Galaxy S21 FE. Samsung’s devices generally have various model numbers for a single device as each one is for a region. For instance, the Galaxy S20 FE has SM-G78xx where the x varies with region. Eg. SM-G780F(India), G7810(China).

Hence, this G990B could just be one such variant of the Galaxy S21 FE. Although the ‘G990’ is on the lines of LTE variant with ‘G780’ model number, we aren’t sure if the Galaxy S21 FE would also get an LTE and 5G variants just yet.

Moving on, the report says that the device will launch in Four colors- Gray or Silver, Pink, Violet, and White options. This is one less than five color options for the predecessor.  Other expected specs so far include a 5G connectivity(no-brainer), 128/256GB storage, and run Android 11.

Now, we can’t be so sure about the One UI version at this point. This is because Samsung already has the latest One UI 3.1 out and it’s expected to bring the One UI 3.5 roundabout H2 2021 during the Galaxy Z Fold3 launch.

Meanwhile, Samsung is also planning to bring the 5G variant of Galaxy S20 FE to India as the support page has gone live recently.
