[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Cha] Amid foreign media reports that the launch of Samsung Electronics' cost-effective (price-to-performance) series 'Galaxy S21 Fan Edition (FE)' model is imminent, a hypothesis about an October release has emerged.

Famous IT tipster Jon Prosser cited sources on the 1st (local time) and stated, "Samsung Electronics will start taking pre-orders for the Galaxy S21 FE from October 20 and release it on the 29th."

Jon Prosser added, "The 29th is the date when the product will actually be displayed in stores and can also be seen as the arrival date for individual customer deliveries," but he said, "I have not heard a clear announcement date."

Initially, major foreign media such as PhoneArena expected Samsung to unveil the Galaxy S21 FE model on September 8. There was also an incident where a marketing image including the product was posted on Samsung Electronics' official Instagram and then deleted within a few hours.

The Galaxy S21 FE product is observed to have a 6.4-inch size with full HD resolution and a 120 Hertz (Hz) screen refresh rate. Storage options are estimated to be 128GB and 256GB. The price range is expected to be around 700,000 to 800,000 KRW.

The design was also revealed early. In March, Dutch IT media LetsGoDigital released rendering images of the S21 FE. The colors include Light Violet, White, Light Green, and Gray, totaling four options.
