The Galaxy S21 FE 5G will be the first large smartphone to go on sale in 2022. In case it was missing any confirmation, it has just been listed in Walmart with a price of $ 699.
Samsung’s strategy of offering a variant of its flagship at a reduced price, which began with the S20, will continue with this new terminal in the ‘Fan Edition’ series. Due to the multiple images that have been arriving (perhaps it is the most filtered terminal in history) in terms of design it will be very similar to the base version of the S21, use of glass and polycarbonate and the characteristic main camera module in vertical format.
Considering that the new Exynos 2100 with AMD graphics chip have been reserved for the next generation, Samsung will mount the engine as the Snapdragon 888 from Qualcomm to motorize the Galaxy S21 FE 5G. It will be accompanied by 6 or 8 Gbytes of RAM and 128 or 256 Gbytes for internal storage.
Your display will be of high quality. A 6.4-inch “Flat Dymanic AMOLED 2x”, a resolution of 2,340 x 1,080 pixels, a refresh rate of 120 Hz and the protection provided by the Gorilla Glass Victus layer.
As for the cameras, they will slightly reduce the performance of the S21 with triple sensor, where the main 32-megapixel one with a 79-degree field of view, dual-phase detection autofocus, as well as a hardware image stabilizer and a size maximum aperture of f / 1.8. The other two are a 12 MP wide angle and an 8 MP telephoto lens. The front camera will be 32 megapixels.
It will have a 4,500 mAh battery, with fast charging via USB Type-C cable. In addition, it will have wireless charging with the PowerShare function, so Qi-compatible third-party devices can be placed on the back of the Galaxy S21 FE and received feeding.
