Samsung Galaxy S21 FE relaunching in India with Snapdragon 888

But who asked for it?

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE was launched in the Indian market in January last year with the Exynos 2100 chip, and at the launch, it was priced at ₹49,999. In the global market, the Galaxy S21 FE was not launched in Exynos 2100 but rather with the Snapdragon 888 SOC. While both Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 888 had heating issues, if you ask us to choose, we will always go with the Snapdragon 888.

There are already leaks and rumors of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, reportedly launching with upgraded performance and cameras. But now, a new report has revealed that Samsung plans to relaunch the Galaxy S21 FE in the Indian market, this time with the Snapdragon 888 SOC.

All these details were shared by Abhishek Yadav on Twitter.

Compared to the Exynos version, the new S21 FE features the Snapdragon 888 SOC, and the base variant has 256GB storage (versus 128GB). There is also a new color option named “Navy Blue,” which we did not get with the Exynos variant.

The rest of the spec sheet is the same. There is a 6.4″ 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Gorilla Glass Victus, and HDR10+ support. The battery size is 4,500mAh, and the charging speed is 25W. The phone supports 15W wireless charging and is IP68 certified. The triple camera setup on the rear includes a 12MP primary sensor with OIS and 1.8µm pixel size, an 8MP telephoto with 3X optical zoom + OIS, and a 12MP ultrawide with a 123-degree FOV. The selfie camera has a 32MP sensor.

The phone has a stereo speaker setup, an under-display fingerprint sensor, reverse wireless charging support, and more.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE was launched in India with Android 12 last year, so we expect the Snapdragon 888 version to launch with Android 13 out of the box.

As per a report by 91Mobiles, the Snapdragon 888 version will launch at ₹49,999 in India, the same launch price as the Exynos version last year.
