S21 FE. Although released very recently, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is already on sale, especially at Rakuten, as part of the winter sales.
Long awaited for the end of 2021, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has finally been available since January 4. This new “Fan Edition” smartphone takes several aspects of the previous Galaxy S21 to offer a more affordable version that focuses on feedback from the Samsung community. Discover all the features of the latest Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, as well as its price and purchase bonuses for its official launch.
Where to buy the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE?
Unveiled fairly quickly, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is already available for sale at several specialized brands such as Fnac, Boulanger or Amazon. Launch bonuses are also planned, since Buds 2 wireless headphones can be offered during your purchase (terms to be checked according to the brand).
The current best price for the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE seems to be at Boulanger, but on the condition of making a withdrawal in store. You will thus benefit from S21 FE for only 659 eurosor 100 euros less than its base price, as well as Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 wireless headphones which are automatically added to your basket when you order.
Amazon also has an offer on the S21 FE. The brand offers a reduction coupon of 100 euros for a limited time. Once this coupon is checked, you will benefit from the latest S21 FE 5G for only 659 euros! Be careful, however, since the offer on the Galaxy Buds 2 offered is not compatible with this reduction.
What design for the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE?
As its name suggests, the Galaxy S21 FE takes a lot of the design of the firm’s 2021 flagship. Exit however the aluminum back and place in the plastic material (certainly to reduce the cost of the device). The Samsung S21 FE features a 6.4″ Dynamic AMOLED display. Its front has an always-showy selfie camera placed in the middle of the screen, while the rear sensors are housed in a small block on the left side of the device. The power and volume buttons are always located on the right edge.
Four different colors are available for the S21 FE: white, green, purple, and black. We will therefore retain fewer choices compared to its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, which had bet part of its communication on its six very distinct colors. However, Samsung has already surprised its community in the past by unveiling new colors for its older devices.
What are the specs of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE?
The “Fan Edition” versions of Samsung phones are based on a simple principle: to offer affordable versions of the brand’s current spearhead. To do so, the firm makes some concessions, generally on the materials and characteristics of the smartphone. This is particularly the case for this S21 FE, which already sees its rear coating switch to plastic. In terms of dimensions, the S21 FE is a little larger than its counterpart (155.7 x 74.5 x 7.9 mm). This is also noticeable with its 6.4″ AMOLED displaywhich is 0.2″ longer than the classic S21.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE does not sacrifice its power, however. The smartphone is equipped with a Snapdragon 888 processor which still remains today a small monster in the field, capable of efficiently managing your games and applications. You can also count on 6 to 8 GB of RAM. It is also worth noting that the S21 FE has a refresh rate up to 120 Hz. Samsung also leaves the choice of storage with two options available: 128 and 256 GB.
For the battery: that of the S21 FE has 4500mAh which is better than the Samsung S21 (4000 mAh), but as much as the previous S20 FE released in October 2020. The phone is compatible with wireless charging as well as reverse charging, and even has a new supplied 25W charging block.
The rear camera of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is made up of three separate sensors, as was already the case on the previous S20 FE:
- 12 MP main sensor.
- 12 MP ultra-wide-angle sensor.
- 8MP X3 optical zoom.
- 32 MP selfie camera.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE stands out from the spearhead of the brand by offering a more affordable price than the latter. Thus, it is possible to benefit from the latest S21 FE from 759 euros in its basic configuration 6 + 128 GB. Note that there is no S21 FE 4G! Samsung only offers one version compatible with 5G communication bands. The official prices at launch of the device are as follows:
- Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G (6+128GB): 759 euros.
- Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G (8+256GB): 829 euros.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will be long overdue! “Fan Edition” versions of Samsung smartphones are usually expected at the end of the year, and this latest model has been at the center of rumors since August 2021. Some analysts even predicted that the S21 FE would even be canceled in favor of the latest foldable smartphones from the firm. Eventually we had to wait January 4, 2022 to have an official release online and in specialized sales stores.
