Samsung’s next mid-range phone could be close to launch. Thanks to unofficial renders from reliable leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer (OnLeaks), we have our first look of what the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will look like.
As you might expect for a phone that’s the “Fan Edition” of the Galaxy S21, the handset bears a striking similarity to its inspiration, with the same central pinhole selfie camera, and traffic light-style triple camera array. The key difference, Hemmerstoffer says, is in the camera bump itself, which is integrated into the phone’s shell, unlike the S21’s, which extended from the handset’s metal frame.
Like the Galaxy S20 FE, the S21 FE would have a ‘mid-size’ display (OnLeaks says 6.4 inches, although the S20 FE was 6.5 inches), three rear cameras and a hole punch selfie cam. This leak doesn’t include specs, but the existing phone earned its reputation by including the same top-tier processor and 120Hz display tech of the standard S20. We wouldn’t be surprised to find a Snapdragon 888 and other high-end features in the S21 FE, even if it will likely be a step down in other respects.
You’ll likely have to be patient, though. Samsung didn’t unveil the S20 FE until September of last year, and we wouldn’t expect the company to rush a sequel out the door even with the S21’s early debut in mind. If you can afford to wait, though, you could get much of Samsung’s flagship experience without quite as severe a hit to your bank account.
