The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will be the sequel to the Galaxy S20 FE launched last year. It will be a toned-down variant of the Galaxy S series flagship smartphone and will retain flagship-grade specs and features. Being an affordable model as compared to the other S series flagships, this one will come with high-end hardware and tweaked camera and display specs among others.
For now, rumour mills point out that this smartphone could be launched with the octa-core Snapdragon 888 processor instead of the Exynos chipset due to the ongoing supply chain issues. However, there is no official confirmation regarding the same for now. As per reports, the upcoming Samsung smartphone could be priced at 700,000 won (nearly Rs 44,500). Given that the company could be launched on October 20, more details could be revealed in the meantime.
