Many reports suggested that Samsung is all set to roll out its Galaxy S21 FE series of smartphones in January, providing a budget flagship experience for purchasers. Nevertheless, a client in South Africa has been capable of buying the device before time as further posted a mini-review video on Reddit.
According to the u/UnknownWon’s video, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE roll out with a thin box that leaves out the charger. However, the box still comes with a USB Type-C charging cable and a SIM removal pin tool. Moreover, the smartphone is an olive green (khaki) variant with a rear vertical triple-camera set up and a camera bump.
The S21 FE supports the One UI 3.1 Android 11 skin, a more secure and stable build compared to the recently launched Android 12, as per u/UnknownWon. Moreover, the update was inclined to be a reason for many bugs and performance problems that have pushed Samsung to stop the launch on its devices. A recent, more secure and stable build has currently been launched the Galaxy S20 and Fold lineup smartphones.
Furthermore, when it comes to the display screen, it let users switch between 60 and 120Hz refresh rates and is backed by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset along with a 4,500mAh battery with Fast Charging.
Users can further set a charging speed and also deactivate it to evade overheating. Apart from this, the smartphone has 6GB of RAM and comes with an optical in-display fingerprint scanner rather than ultrasonic ones.
According to the Redditor, the smartphone has the same camera setup as in the Galaxy S20 FE – a 12MP primary camera, 8MP telephoto lens, as well as a 12MP ultra-wide. Furthermore, it has a dual recording function that allows users to simultaneously record from selfies and back cameras.
Additionally, he added, the S21 FE’s display has a minor green tint compared to his Poco X3, and further does not have an option to modify the white balance manually. With respect to the build, u/UnknownWon asserts that it is “lighter,” “comfortable,” and experiences more “premium.”
According to earlier leaks, the smartphone is anticipated to come in four colours – olive, black, purple, and white options, and should start at $699.
