Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is on the launch ramp, hitting the market to reinforce the manufacturer’s high-end smartphones and ahead of the launch of the next generation Galaxy S22.
WinFuture claims to have all the specifications of the new ‘FE’, a series released (with great sales success) with the S20 that Samsung describes as ‘Fan Edition’. The idea is the same as previous versions: to offer a high-end variant at a reduced price.
From the images that have been leaked and its passage for certification by regulators such as TENAA, we already know almost everything about this terminal. In terms of design, we would find a copy of the S21, with a screen with reduced frames only interrupted by a small perforated front camera in the upper central part of it, and a smooth rear part on which the camera module stands out. in the upper left corner in portrait format.
A rear camera that would only slightly reduce the performance of the S21, with a triple sensor was the main 32-megapixel sensor 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, located in the center of the screen as we said, with a field of view of 81 degrees and 0.8 micrometers in pixel size.
Samsung would maintain the high quality of the screen with a 6.4-inch “Flat Dynamic AMOLED 2x”, resolution of 2,340 x 1,080 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The panel is completely flat and should have even more edges. narrow. The fingerprint reader is located directly below the surface of the screen and is protected by the Gorilla Glass Victus layer.
Regarding its SoC engine, it seems that Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 is imposed for all regions, reserving the new Exynos 2100 with AMD’s graphics chip for the next generation S22. It is a high-performance SoC with eight cores and an integrated 5G modem. To accompany it, 6 or 8 Gbytes of RAM are mentioned and 128 or 256 Gbytes for internal storage.
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 receive feeding. Thanks to IP68 certification, the aluminum-framed housing and polycarbonate back will be protected against water.
