Description:

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G wasnt unveiled alongside the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 , Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 , and other products on August 11, but it looks like the phone could still be landing very soon indeed.

Thats because its now been certified by Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group), as spotted by PriceBaba . This is something that usually happens within around a month of launch, and theres no question as to which phone has been certified, because along with model numbers (for three different
versions of the handset), each is labeled as the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G.

Beyond an imminent launch the listing doesnt really reveal anything though.
It essentially confirms that the phone supports both Bluetooth and 5G, but
wed have been very surprised if it didnt. Though its worth noting that theres no mention of a 4G version here, which could mean the Galaxy S21 FE will only launch in a 5G flavor, unlike its predecessor. These are the best Samsung phones Samsung recently unveiled the Galaxy Watch 4 The Samsung Galaxy S22 is expected in early 2022

So when exactly might we get an official look at this new phone? Well, one previous rumor suggested an October launch , and that would more or less make sense with seeing a Bluetooth SIG certification now. Though if anything, wed think the S21 FE 5G might land even sooner, perhaps in September.

Whenever it does land, we have a good idea of what to expect from it thanks
to leaks and rumors. They point to a 6.4-inch 1080 x 2340 Super AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a high-end Snapdragon 888 chipset, and a 4,500mAh battery.

The camera is said to be a triple-lens one, with a 12MP main, 12MP ultra-wide and 8MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and the design is thought to be similar to the Samsung Galaxy S21 s, albeit with the same color on the camera block as the rest of the back.

With no new Samsung Galaxy Note this year , Samsung fans are currently
lacking a conventional flagship for the second half of 2021. Theres the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, but as foldables theyre a bit niche, and the Fold 3 is also very expensive.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, though, is a more conventional proposition, with a likely far more palatable price.

Its unlikely to support the S Pen stylus, so its not a true replacement for a Galaxy Note, but with its high-end specs it could still tempt flagship buyers who were holding out to see what Samsung unveiled in the second half of the year.

Those who liked the look of the Samsung Galaxy S21 range but wanted something a bit more affordable could also be swayed, as the Galaxy S21 FE is likely to be the cheapest model in the range, though the exact price remains unclear
for now.

And without a new Note, the Galaxy S21 FE will have less competition than the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE did, all of which means it might sell rather well. Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news, reviews, features and more
