Samsung Galaxy S21 FE India Launch: Snapdragon 888 Variant Expected in July at ₹40,000

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE India Relaunch: Samsung is set to introduce a new variant of its popular Galaxy S-series lineup in India with the anticipated launch of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE.

This upgraded version of the smartphone is expected to come equipped with the powerful Snapdragon 888 processor. The move follows the initial release of the phone in January of last year.

According to a recent tweet from renowned tipster Tarun Vats, the South Korean conglomerate plans to unveil the Snapdragon 888-powered Galaxy S21 FE at an estimated price of around ₹40,000 in India in July.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE Specifications

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE was originally introduced with the brand's in-house Exynos 2100 chipset, carrying a price tag of ₹54,999.

The decision to release an updated version of the phone comes as a surprise, though it is not the first time Samsung has taken such a step.

Interestingly, this move arrives ahead of the global launch of the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, with leaked images providing an early glimpse of the device.

Samsung previously made a similar move with the Galaxy S20 FE. After initially launching the Exynos 990 variant of the phone, the company introduced the Snapdragon 865-powered Galaxy S20 FE nearly six months later in March 2021.

This variant not only delivered enhanced performance but also brought 5G capabilities to the market.

In terms of specifications, there are no notable differences in this new variant of the Galaxy S21 FE, except for the change in the chipset. It remains to be seen how Samsung will justify opting for a model that is nearly a year and a half old.

As mentioned by the tipster, the price of the phone is expected to be upwards of ₹40,000, as the older variant continues to be sold within this price range.
