Samsung Galaxy S21 FE not cancelled yet, but launch could be delayed | 91mobiles.com
There’s a chip shortage across the globe that is affecting phone makers and their production. South Korea’s Electronic Times reported on Sunday that Samsung suspended the production of the less expensive version of the Galaxy S21 aka the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE due to a shortage of Qualcomm’s application processors. Hours after the report, however, Samsung responded and said that nothing has been determined regarding the production suspension. “While we cannot discuss details of the unreleased product, nothing has been determined regarding the alleged production suspension,” a Samsung spokesperson told Bloomberg.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is said to sport a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a punch-hole cutout for the selfie snapper. It could be powered by the Snapdragon 888 SoC coupled with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage that may be further expandable via a microSD card. It is likely to boot Android 11-based OneUI 3.1 custom skin out of the box and packs a 4,500mAh battery with 45W fast-charging support. Connectivity features include 5G, 4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS and USB Type-C for charging.
Moving to optics, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will have triple cameras at the back, with a large primary sensor, a depth sensor and a wide-angle lens. It may have a 10MP lens in the punch-hole cutout and an in-display fingerprint sensor for security. The phone will be available in White, Light Violet, Light Green, and Gray colour options.
