The Unveiling of the Battle-Tested 'Galaxy S21 FE' Becomes Visible

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Samsung Electronics' quasi-premium smartphone, the ‘Galaxy S21 Fan Edition (FE),’ is overcoming rumors of cancellation due to semiconductor shortages and supply chain issues, with limited market release becoming visible.

On the 15th (local time), IT specialist media PhoneArena and others revealed images presumed to be official marketing materials for the S21 FE. According to the released images, the S21 FE maintains the contour-cut design where the side frame and camera housing connect, similar to the ‘Galaxy S21.’

Samsung Electronics is expected to unveil the S21 FE on January 4 next year, with an official release on the 11th of the same month. It is anticipated that there will be no separate pre-order period. However, the release is expected to be limited to Europe, including the United Kingdom.

The application processor (AP) will be either Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 or Samsung Electronics’ Exynos 2100, depending on the market. The S21 FE is a quasi-premium product that retains the core features of the flagship ‘Galaxy S’ series while lowering the price. Originally scheduled for release in August, it faced difficulties such as abruptly halting production preparations due to worsening AP supply shortages.

The display is expected to feature a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel, supporting a resolution of 1080x2340 and an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. A 120 Hertz (Hz) refresh rate will also be supported, and the cover glass will use Corning’s Gorilla Glass.

The camera system is observed to include a triple camera setup with a 64-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. On the front, a 32-megapixel camera is expected to be mounted in a punch-hole style at the top center of the display.

Additionally, color options will include White, Cream, Lavender, and Black, and the battery will have a capacity of 4500 milliampere-hours (mAh) with 15-watt (W) fast charging support.
