The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE launched back on October 2, 2020. The device arrived as a more affordable variant of the main Galaxy S20 series. The device was a huge success, making it one of Samsung’s top three sellers, taking up sales from the original Galaxy S20 and the Galaxy Note 20 series. These numbers were one of the main reasons why Samsung didn’t pull the plug on the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE launch. Still, it seems that the company is already accepting that the less expensive variant of the Galaxy S21 series won’t be as popular as its predecessor.
According to a report from The Elec, Samsung has reduced its Samsung Galaxy S21 FE expectations. The report claims that Samsung was originally planning to mass-produce the device during the first half of 2021, which makes us believe that Samsung wanted the device to hit the shelves last month. However, the current chip shortage got in the way of the company’s plans.
It is believed that the South Korean tech giant had set its sales expectations somewhere around the mid-10 million units. Still, constant delays and the ongoing pandemic may have reduced Samsung’s goal by 3 million units. Nevertheless, the company could now be planning to start mass production of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE this month, which means we may get to see the device launch late in October, as suggested by previous rumors.
Another reason behind this possible change in production plans is that Samsung may consider that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE may get less attention from customers that may be planning on getting the new iteration of the Galaxy S series that’s just months away. Still, the Galaxy S21 FE will be the new go-to device for anyone who’s not interested in a new foldable smartphone, which means that it could still perform well.

The report also mentions that Samsung may be gearing up to kick off mass production of the Samsung Galaxy S22 series in November. This makes us believe that we may once again get to see the launch of a new Galaxy S series in January.
What about you? Do you plan on getting a Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, or are you going to wait for the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S22 series?

It’s late August, and we’re still waiting for the new Samsung Galaxy S21 FE announcement. The device is rumored to arrive sometime in the last quarter of 2021, while others claim that it could be announced as soon as next month. Whatever the case, we have received new information about the most affordable variant of the current Galaxy S21 series, and they’re not as promising as we’d wish.
It seems that we will get an Exynos variant of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE after all. The device was recently spotted at Geekbench’s database. This device with model number SM-G990E seems to be powered by the Exynos 2100 processor and 8GB of RAM. Indeed, we usually get excited when we see benchmarks and other leaks, but this variant of the Galaxy S21 FE scored 1,084 points in the single-core CPU test and 3,316 points in the multi-core CPU test.
These test results are not bad, but they aren’t as good as the ones achieved by the variant with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor. In other words, some users will be stuck, once again, with a less powerful Galaxy device, which was the case with the devices powered by the Exynos 990 and the Snapdragon 865 processors. Remember that Samsung usually reserves its Exynos devices for some Asian and European markets, which means they may get this version of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S21 FE.
Still, the new Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is expected to feature a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-O display, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and 120Hz refresh rates. We could also see a 32MP selfie camera and a triple 12 MP camera setup to capture our best moments. Rumors also suggest that it may arrive with Android 11 out of the box and pack a 4,500mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging, wireless charging, and an IP 67 rating.

Once again, there’s no official news today, but don’t worry. (Bane in The Dark Knight Rises “That comes later”). Let’s start with some leaks of Microsoft’s upcoming foldables, if you can technically call them that. If you remember last year, one of the main issues with the original Surface Duo was the outdated specs but, it looks like things are about to change for the better, sort of. We have a new benchmark that was leaked by Slash leaks, that shows off the alleged specs for the Surface Duo 2. According to the leaks, it’ll be powered by the Snapdragon 888, not the Plus, as well as 8 Gigs of RAM. The benchmark didn’t provide any details on storage but it did mention it was running Android 11, though we have heard that Microsoft is expected to update it to Android 12 once it becomes available. Last month we also got a video leaked on YouTube showing the updates to the design that include a triple camera array and a frosted glass back. Other than it looks identical to the previous model which means it’ll most likely be as fragile too. We don’t really have a date for the release yet but, I’m sure Panos will post a hands on as we get closer to the end of the year. I mean, he’s gotta show off his new executive position somehow
Let’s shift gears on to Samsung and their next release which isn’t really a flagship. As yes, we know that the Fan Edition for the Galaxy S20 was a success and multiple reports mention that Samsung wants to follow up on that, even if they’re struggling with the chip shortage. Well, we just got a ton of new leaks as of late, starting with last week when we got some HD renders from Evan Blass that showed the phone from every possible angle, showing the new design which resembles the regular Galaxy S21. Then a couple of days ago it showed up in the Google Play Console, confirming the specs which include a 6.4-inch display, the Snapdragon 888, 6 Gigs of RAM and a 4500 mAh battery. Now, we got a leak from the best possible source… Samsung… In Sammy’s typical fashion, their French website posted a page that advertises a YouTube Premium offer, and in the list of devices that support the offer, we can see the Galaxy S21 FE next to the S21 Ultra. This means that the Galaxy S21 FE will come with a 4 month subscription to YouTube Premium and it is happening after all, but rumors point to it being limited to certain regions. According to the leaks this phone could launch some time in October but with the European websites already leaking it, who knows it might come sooner than we expected. Don’t look at me funny, we don’t have it.
Let’s move on to the undisputed king of leaks, Google and the Pixel 6 Series. Even if the company pretty much announced the phone a few weeks ago, there’s still some details that weren’t mentioned and those have been getting leaked slowly, with today shedding some new light on two different reports. Starting with the 5G capabilities, we have a new information from Reuters where they’re claiming that Samsung will also be providing the 5G mmWave modems for the Pixel 6, and I mean it makes sense considering they’ll be manufacturing the Tensor chip as well. As for the second report, Google’s SVP posted a screenshot of what seems to be the Pixel 6’s display running Android 12 of course.. What’s interesting here is that there is a fingerprint reader icon in the middle of the screen. We know that Google has been reluctant to add an in-display fingerprint scanner as they went for facial recognition with the Pixel 4 and then moved back to the fingerprint reader at the back for the 5 Series but, it looks like they’re finally caving in. And since we were on the topic of 5G, yes the screenshot also shows that it is connected to 5G on Verizon.. So yeah, all we need now is an early review.
Finally, for the hottest news today, let’s talk about Apple and the iPhone 13 because, you know how hectic things get as we start getting closer to September. Today we have 3 different reports on different things we can expect in the next few weeks. Let’s kick things off with the name. Over the past year there’s been some speculation that it might be called iPhone 12S over the fact that it isn’t really a new design and we’re just getting some improvements on features we already had from the last generation. Now we have an image of a sticker tab that’s used to seal Apple products in their boxes that says, iPhone 13 along with the company’s typical Designed By Apple label. At the moment we don’t know if this image is 100% legit so let’s take it with a grain of salt but, it looks like iPhone 13 it is. And before we move on to the release date, let’s talk some features. According to a new report from Jon Prosser, Apple is testing some new Face ID technology for the iPhone 13 that would allow users to access their phones while using a mask and even if you have foggy glasses. Apparently they’re testing it by using this special case and putting it on an iPhone 12. Once the case is on, it bypasses the 12’s Face ID Array and it uses the external hardware which is allegedly the same one on the 13 Series. I know it’s kinda technical but the overall goal is to let you use Face ID even in more complicated conditions. Finally, let’s talk release dates. Chinese ETailer, IT Home has the iPhone 13 for pre-orders set for September 17th. And considering Apple usually has their events on Tuesday’s, it would mean Apple would announce the iPhone 13 either on September 7th or the 14th. On a report Prosser claims that invites will go out on the 7th, with the Event happening on the 14th, pre-orders will go live on the 17th for all iPhone models unlike last year, and they’ll be available in stores by the 24th. And he also mentions that the new AirPods are coming at this event.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE was a very popular device last year, and we heard a number of things about the upcoming Galaxy S21 FE. We’ve seen several 3D renders, and we heard when we could expect it to arrive and even seen some of the specifications leak.
Today, we get to see the device in new render images, but this time, more interactive. Evan Blass has uploaded the renders of the Galaxy S21 FE in all color options, and you can check them out on the link below. We’ve also included one at the bottom of this post. If you can’t see it for whatever reason, you can visit this page.
The design of the Galaxy S21 FE looks very similar to what we’ve seen before, and it seems to match the design of the Galaxy S21 series. It has a large camera bump with three sensors; the main camera is rumored to be a 32MP shooter, there’s a 12MP ultrawide and an 8MP telephoto sensor. The camera module on the S21 FE doesn’t have a different color from the device’s primary color, instead, it has the same looks.
The Galaxy S21 FE’s display is said to be 6.4-inches, and features a Super AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate. It’s rumored to be powered by the Snapdragon 888 chipset, although we also heard rumors of the international model rocking the Exynos 2100 chipset. The memory options are expected to be 6GB and 8GB RAM, while the storage will start at 128GB and go up to 256GB. The battery will reportedly have 4,500 mAh capacity and it may be one of the few devices from Samsung that may support 45W fast wired charging.
Samsung’s latest Galaxy device in the FE series. It features flagship level specifications, camera and build quality at a more affordable price.

The latest Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event was action-packed. We received two amazing foldable phones, four Galaxy Watch 4 models, and a Galaxy Buds refresh. Unfortunately, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE wasn’t ready in time for this event. The latest information reveals that the successor of the Galaxy S20 FE keeps scoring certifications, which means that we may also be getting closer to its possible launch.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has recently been spotted on the Bluetooth SIG website, meaning that it has already received one more of the necessary requirements to become official. Now, the listings don’t reveal anything extraordinary other than confirming its name. We have a total of three new devices listed in the Bluetooth SIG, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G: SM-G990B, SM-G990B_DS, and SM-G990N, all of which feature the same Bluetooth 5.0 standard as the more affordable Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus, as the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra features Bluetooth 5.2 support.
It is believed that the new Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will arrive in two variants that will look identical on the outside. One of these models, the North American variant, is believed to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor that’s included in most of the best Android devices in the market, while the international variant is expected to feature Samsung’s Exynos 2100 processor.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is expected to launch early in October, and rumors suggest that it will feature a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rates, a triple camera setup with a 12MPprimary shooter, a 32MP selfie camera. We could also get stereos speakers, IP68 water and dust resistance, a massive 4500mAh battery, and support for 45W fast charging. It is also expected to feature Android 11 with One UI 3.1 out of the box. So yeah, we can expect an amazing new device.

We are just two weeks away from the next Samsung Galaxy Unpacked. We are expecting several great things, starting with the announcement of the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3, four new Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 variants, and a new pair of earphones. Indeed, there have been tons of leaks and rumors about the upcoming devices, but the latest teaser comes from no other than Samsung, as it has recently posted a new video where it tells us, “Get ready to unfold.”
Samsung has recently posted a new teaser video as we get closer to the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event. This new video starts showcasing several old devices from Blackberry, Motorola, Nokia, among others. These devices also have different designs and tech, and then the question, Is “good” good enough? Well, every single device is once good depending on the needs and the time when it launched. But then again, we are always looking for something better, for the next best thing, and this may be the case with the arrival of more foldable devices. The video continues to show us what seems to be the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 opening to show tons of skyscrapers, as it keeps on opening and then invites us to “Get ready to unfold.”
The new Galaxy Unpacked event will be an action-packed event, no doubt about that. Rumors suggest that we will get two new foldables, which means the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3, as well as new watches and a new pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2. However, we’re still waiting for another device that is not expected to be part of the show, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE. Still, recent information from Roland Quandt suggests that the production of the more affordable Galaxy S21 option is back on track, so we can be sure that we will see this new device arrive before the end of 2021.

We have been getting wave after wave of new Samsung leaks, and it seems that they won’t stop coming even if Samsung is now feeling sensitive about the topic. The latest leak comes from TENAA, and it confirms everything we already know about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S21 FE.
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has been getting lots of attention lately. We have been getting several leaked renders, possible specs, and even possible launch windows for the device that got close to being canceled. The latest information reveals everything you need to know about the successor of the popular Galaxy S20 FE.
A listing for the Chinese version of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE was found at TENAA, and according to this certification, the new device will arrive with two storage options, 128GB and 256GB, but it will also allow you to increase your storage space by 256GB via microSD cards. However, the guys from SamMobile believe that this may be a mistake and that the device may be able to support a memory card with up to 1TB of storage space.
Other details in TENAA’s listing suggest that the new Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will arrive with a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-O display with FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. We will also get a 32MP selfie camera and a triple camera setup with two 12MP sensors and one 8MP telephoto camera that could feature 3X optical zoom.

We also get an IP68 rating, an in-display fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers, 5G, GPS, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC support, and a USB Type-C port.
Remember that you will have to act fast if you want a new Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, as it will only launch in the United States and Japan, and it may be available in limited quantities because of the chip shortage that’s affecting the tech world.
