Description:
A video has shown what the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE might look like in the flesh - or at least part of it.

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

Recently we saw leaked photos of what appeared to be the back panel of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE , and now someone has got hold of one and shown it on video, attached to the frame of a Samsung Galaxy S10 .

Jermaine Smit (also known as Concept Creator) is the person who did this, and it provides a look at what the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will probably look like in the flesh albeit only from the back.

Since weve seen this back before there arent really any new details, though Smit confirms that as expected the back is made of plastic. Check out the best Samsung phones Read our full Samsung Galaxy S20 FE review Will there be
a Samsung Galaxy Note 22 ?

The fact that it fits into the frame of a Samsung Galaxy S10 also suggests that the two phones are a very similar size, which is actually slightly surprising since the Galaxy S10 only has a 6.1-inch screen, while the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is rumored to have a 6.4-inch one.

Whether that means smaller bezels on the upcoming phone or whether Smit has had to make some modifications to stitch these two together is unclear.

Smit also runs through the key rumored specs of the Galaxy S21 FE in this video, but these seem to be pre-existing leaks rather than new information. One possible exception to that is his mention of a January 11 release date, which he emphasizes though notes that this could still be subject to change.

Its interesting that Smit goes with that date, as while leaker Jon Prosser previously pointed to January 11, the latest leak actually suggests the phone could land several days earlier at CES 2022 . So wed take that date with a pinch of salt. Opinion: too similar and too late

While the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is shaping up to be a decent phone, it might be arriving too late to really make a mark.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 range is expected to land soon after it (possibly as soon as the following month) and is likely to be a huge upgrade.

And sure, the Galaxy S21 FE will probably be much cheaper than any of those phones, but will it be substantially cheaper than the increasingly discounted Samsung Galaxy S21 or Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus ?

Were not so sure, and its unlikely to be much different than those phones. In fact, we wouldnt be at all surprised if the base Galaxy S21 could be found
for less than whatever Samsung ends up charging for the Galaxy S21 FE, now that its almost a year old.

So unless Samsung surprises us by either delivering a very different phone to the one were expecting or charging a lot less for it, were not really sure
who the Galaxy S21 FE is for. A couple of months ago it might have made
sense, but in January? The competition from Samsungs own other phones is likely to just be too steep. Read our full Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 review
