The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is probably the most leaked smartphone of 2021. In fact, we have been hearing about this device since November 2020. Almost a year later, the rear panel of this handset now appears in a hands-on video.

Recently, the Galaxy S21 FE’s rear panel emerged on the web in real-life images. These pictures were from a component supplier who started selling the panels before the phone’s release.

Designer Concept Creator (Jermaine, @CConceptCreator) managed to acquire one of these panels. He showcased them in his latest YouTube video attached above.

From the video, we can see that the back of the successor of Galaxy S20 FE will have a design similar to the Galaxy S21 and the Galaxy S21+. However, it will not have a separate metal unit for the camera module, just like what we saw in the renders earlier.

Based on this back panel, the designer also created a 3D model of the phone in five colors. You can feast your eyes on them in the same video above.

Talking about specs, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is expected to come with a 6.4-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 888/Exynos 2100 chipset, up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM, up to 256GB UFS 3.1 storage, 12MP (wide) + 12MP (ultra-wide) + 8MP (telephoto) triple rear cameras, 32MP selfie camera, One UI 3.x based on Android 11, 4,500mAh battery, 25W fast charging, 15W wireless charging, and 7.5W reverse wireless charging.

Samsung is reported to unveil the Galaxy S21 FE at CES 2022 in early January. The device is tipped to hit the shelves on January 11.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is tipped to launch next week, September 8 to be exact. Ahead of that, we have already learned everything about this phone via leaks and certifications. Now, the device’s user manual confirms those previous leaks.

SamMobile has managed to obtain the user manual of the unreleased Samsung Galaxy S21 FE. The document corroborates some of the earlier leaks about this phone.

According to the documentation, the handset will sport a triple camera array and punch-hole front-facing camera. Although it does not go into detail, we know that the smartphone will have a 12MP (wide) + 12MP (ultra-wide) + 8MP (telephoto) triple camera setup and a 32MP selfie camera.

Further, the manual says that the handset will arrive with an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor like the regular Galaxy S21 models and will also lack a MicroSD card slot. For those unaware, the last year’s Galaxy S21 FE has an optical fingerprint sensor and houses a microSD card slot.

Other features confirmed by the documentation include IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, Dolby Atmos, Wireless DeX, Samsung Pay, wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging.

As per previous reports, the upcoming Galaxy S21 FE will be powered by both Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 2100 depending on the regions where it will be sold in. It will have features like up to 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage, 6.4-inch 120Hz FHD+ Super AMOLED display, 4,500mAh battery, 25W fast charging, 15W wireless charging, 4.5W wireless charging, One UI 3.x based on Android 11.

The Galaxy S21 FE is the most anticipated Samsung slab smartphone of 2021. The device was supposed to release alongside the new Galaxy Z phones. But unfortunately, the handset has been delayed until October. Ahead of its official announcement, the product now gets certified by Bluetooth SIG.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S21 FE with model numbers SM-G990B, SM-G990B_DS, and SM-G990N has been certified by Bluetooth SIG. Interestingly, despite being a premium smartphone, the device will come with Bluetooth 5.0 and not the latest 5.2 version.

Other than the Bluetooth version, the certification does not say anything else about the phone. But anyway, we know almost everything about the Galaxy S21 FE via previous certifications and leaks.

The Galaxy S21 FE is said to sport a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It is expected to be powered by both Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 2100 chipsets depending on the regions it will be sold in.

It will come with a 12MP triple cameras setup, 32MP selfie camera, up to 8GB RAM/256GB storage, 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. Last but not least, the Galaxy S21 FE will come in four colors (Gray, Light Green, Light Violet, White).

Samsung is reported to launch the Galaxy S21 FE in August. The affordable variant of the Galaxy S21 series will be accompanied by the Galaxy Z Fold3 and the Galaxy Z Flip3. Ahead of this smartphone’s launch, details of it have been surfacing on the internet for the past few months. The latest info about the handset confirms its chipset.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is said to bear the model number SM-G990. This device has been now benchmarked by Geekbench. According to the listing, the handset will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC coupled with 6GB RAM. As for software, it will run Android 11 (One UI 3.x).

Going by the new details, the Galaxy S21 FE will have the same amount of RAM as its predecessor Galaxy S20 FE. However, it will come with an updated chipset, just like its expensive siblings.

Also, it is interesting to learn that Samsung is opting for Snapdragon 888 instead of Snapdragon 870 in its affordable flagship smartphone. For those unaware, other Android OEMs are using the latter silicon in their budget flagship smartphones to cut costs.

That said, as of now, there’s said to be no 4G/LTE variant of the Galaxy S21 FE like Galaxy S20 FE. But we cannot rule out the possibility of an Exynos 2100 version. Because despite being 5G-only, the regular Galaxy S21 series models (Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, Galaxy S21 Ultra) are powered by the in-house Exynos 2100 in most markets.

Lastly, according to previous reports, the Galaxy S21 FE codenamed R9 will feature a 6.4-inch Infinity-O display (centered punch-hole), a 32MP selfie camera, and a 4,500mAh battery. It will measure 155.7 x 71.45 x 7.9mm in dimensions 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.

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.

We learned about the existence of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE back in November 2020. A few months later, the key specs of this smartphone leaked in February 2021. Now, a month later, more information about this handset emerges.

According to a report by GalaxyClub, the upcoming Galaxy S21 FE will sport a 32MP selfie camera. The publication suggests that it could be the same sensor as found on the Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A72.

Further, the report says that this phone will be available in a light green color variant, in addition to four colors that were revealed by an earlier report by SamMobile. For those unaware, the other four colors will be gray/silver, pink, violet, and white.

Unfortunately, the new report does not reveal anything else apart from the above-mentioned two specifics. But as per the older report, the Galaxy S21 FE will bear the model number SM-G990B. It will come with 5G connectivity, 128GB/256GB internal storage, and Android 11.

That said, Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S21 FE in August. Because there will be no Galaxy Note this year, which is usually introduced at that time of the year. But ahead of this phone’s announcement, the South Korean tech giant will be releasing a new variant of last year’s Galaxy S20 FE.
