The Galaxy S21 FE will be the next big release from Samsung. This smartphone was supposed to release in August but it has been delayed due to the global semiconductor shortage. According to the latest information, the company has only produced a very few units of this handset so far.

As per reliable tipster Max Jambor (@MaxJmb), Samsung only manufactured around 10,000 units of Galaxy S21 FE this month. This number is too less for a device that is expected to launch soon.

The leaker says that since the phone is said to launch next month, the production number could go up as soon as later this week or by next week. He also explains that mass production usually begins 5-6 months before launch.

Hence, the Galaxy S21 FE will likely hit the shelves by mid or late October. According to Max, this smartphone is ‘pretty useless’. He says that because the Galaxy Z Flip3 and Galaxy Z Fold3 are ‘doing great in sales’ and the Galaxy S22 series is ‘just around the corner’.

The Galaxy S21 FE was initially reported to use Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 in all the regions. Due to the global chip shortage, the device was said to launch in only a select few markets. Then, Samsung changed its plans to use both Exynos 2100 as well as Snapdragon 888 and release the device in more markets.

Samsung is yet to schedule a launch event for the Galaxy S21 FE although everything about this phone is already out.
