The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has been a hot topic recently. The upcoming device has been subject to many rumors, be it leaks hinting at an early 2022 release date or live images of the phone surfacing on the internet.

Now, according to a report by 91mobiles, the Indian launch date of the device is tipped to be near the global announcement of the phone, meaning in January of 2022. Previous reports have revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is set to launch at CES 2022 in January of 2022. The release is expected to be a soft launch rather than a dedicated event. The initial supply of these premium flagship-grade devices is also likely to be limited due to the ongoing chip shortage.

This report comes via industry sources of 91mobiles, which further reveals that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will be available in White, Black, Pink, and Green color options in India.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE Specs, feature, and pricing (Rumored)

Coming to the rumored specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, the device features a 6.4-inch Full HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 or the company’s own Exynos 2100 chipsets. The Snapdragon 888 variant is expected to be shipped to the U.S., while the Indian subcontinent is rumored to receive devices with an Exynos 2100 under their hood.

The device will come in two memory variants — 8GB RAM with 128GB internal storage and 8GB RAM with 256GB of internal storage. It will be powered by a 4,380mAh battery and support 25W fast charging technology.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is said to have a triple camera layout on the back, with a 64MP primary sensor, which might be paired with a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. The phone could house a 32MP snapper for selfies and video chats on the front.

It is likely to boot Android 11 OS with OneUI 3.1 custom skin out of the box. Connectivity features include 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6, GPS, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, and a USB Type-C port for charging and data sync.

The base model with 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage will cost EUR 920 while the 8GB RAM with 256GB of internal storage version will be priced at EUR 985. Note that the pricing is included the local value-added tax (VAT).

With the CES event scheduled for January 2022 expect more leaks to surface regarding Samsung’s upcoming devices, so stay tuned for the latest coverage.

Samsung‘s pocket-friendly Galaxy S21 FE has been a long time coming but the company is yet to release a launch date for the much-anticipated device. There are speculations that the device will be launched on September 8. While we await official confirmation, a new detail has emerged about the Galaxy S21 FE.

A model believed to be the Galaxy S21 FE has appeared on GeekBench. This isn’t the first time the device will be making an appearance on GeekBench but what makes this spectacular is that the model is powered by an Exynos chipset. Specifically, the device which bears the model number SM-G990E is equipped with the Exynos 2100 flagship processor.

The Exynos version may likely be released in some markets. But that may cause some controversies considering that the chipset is not as powerful as the Snapdragon 888 which will also power some models of the S21 FE. The GeekBench score of 1,084 points and 3,316 points on the single and multi-core tests attests to this. We also recall how the Exynos 990 released last year performed way below the Snapdragon 865. Thankfully, the Exynos 2100 isn’t so far behind the Snapdragon 888.

In a related development, Samsung has started seeding the latest Android security patch for the month of September to the Galaxy S20 FE even before the start of September. The update ushers in the firmware version G781BXXU4CUH5 and has a 790MB size. Apart from the security patch, the update doesn’t bring any new features aside from improved system stability.

The update is already been pushed to some users in Austria, Italy, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Slovenia, Nordic countries, Czech Republic, Poland, and the Baltic region. We expect Samsung to expand the update to more markets soon. You can manually check for the update by navigating to the phone’s Settings > Software update menu.
