The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is expected to be launched in January. But the long-awaited successor to the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE has already been spotted online in several leaks. A Reddit user now claims that he was able to purchase the unreleased smartphone from a retailer in South Africa. They shared an unboxing and small review video of the handset on YouTube. The video shows a sleek packaging that suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE does not come with a charger in the box.
A video of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE being unpacked has been shared by Redditor u/UnknownWon, spotted by GSMArena. The video shows the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE with a familiar design, which resembles the Galaxy S21 series. Unlike the Samsung Galaxy S21, which had a different color tone for the camera module, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S21 FE smartphone will have the same color on the back of the smartphone, as shown in the video.
In the unboxing video posted by the user, it appears that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will ship without a charger in the box. The Redditor also shows the first setup of the smartphone in the video, suggesting that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will run the company’s One UI 3.1 out of the box on Android 11. The user later posted a video reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, detailing some of the features of the device.
According to the Redditor, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE currently offers the option to switch between 60Hz and 120Hz refresh rates, but without the option of an adaptive refresh rate that helps extend battery life. The smartphone is equipped with a Snapdragon 888 chipset and a 4,500mAh battery with support for fast charging. The camera sensors on the S21 FE are reportedly the same as the S20 FE, according to the Redditor. The phone’s display appears to have a slight green tint compared to the user’s Poco X3 smartphone, according to the video. The phone appears to have an optical fingerprint scanner unlike the ultrasonic scanner used in the Samsung Galaxy S21 series.
Earlier, official Samsung Galaxy S21 FE phone cases were spotted on the company’s website, giving enthusiasts an idea of what to expect from Samsung’s upcoming smartphone. Samsung has not yet given an official launch date for the smartphone, but previous reports suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will be launched on January 11. The smartphone is estimated to cost GBP 699 (approximately Rs. 70,100) for the 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage variant, while the 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage variant is said to cost GBP 749 (approximately Rs. 75,200) according to a previous leak.
