'Release Delay' Galaxy S21FE, 360-Degree Rendering Revealed... 6.4-Inch Display

[Asia Economy Reporter Joselgina] Due to the semiconductor supply shortage, 360-degree renderings of Samsung Electronics' quasi-premium smartphone 'Galaxy S21 Fan Edition (FE),' expected to be released in the fourth quarter, have been unveiled.

IT specialist media SamMobile reported on the 8th (local time), citing IT tipster Evan Blass, that the Galaxy S21 FE "looks similar to previously leaked images." Evan Blass posted 360-degree renderings of the Galaxy S21 FE in various colors on his Twitter that day.

The Galaxy S21 FE is attracting attention as a strategic smartphone expected to replace Samsung Electronics' Note series along with the foldable lineup in the second half of this year. The FE series is characterized by having performance and design similar to premium smartphones while offering a lower price.

Although it was expected to be unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked event in the second half of the year, the release schedule has reportedly been somewhat delayed due to the semiconductor supply shortage. Samsung Electronics is said to have started production of the Galaxy S21 FE this month. The release is likely around October.

The Galaxy S21 FE is expected to be released with a 6.4-inch screen, larger than the Galaxy S21 base model (6.2 inches) but smaller than the Galaxy S21 Plus (6.7 inches). It supports Full HD+ and a 120Hz refresh rate. Considering the launch price of the Galaxy S21 base model, the price is estimated to be in the 700,000 to 800,000 KRW range.

SamMobile reported, "With the Galaxy S21 FE passing China's mandatory certification process, its release is definitely approaching," adding, "The smartphone measures 155.7 × 74.5 × 7.9mm, making it more compact than its predecessor, the Galaxy S20 FE." The Galaxy S21 FE also features 5G connectivity and a dual SIM card slot.

In some Asian and African regions, models equipped with the Exynos 2100 will be released, while other regions will receive models with the Snapdragon 888. It also offers an in-display fingerprint sensor, dustproof, and waterproof functions.
