The Galaxy S21 FE has been in the market for over one and a half years, and while it is an excellent phone, there are better options in the market at the time, even from Samsung's own portfolio. However, it appears that the company has had a change of heart about the device, as they have just announced that they are relaunching the phone again. However, only in one country - a country that already has a variant available to purchase.
The Galaxy S21 FE releasing in 2023 with Snapdragon 888 makes very little sense, but Samsung is doing it anyway
So, what's the deal? Well, Samsung has decided that they are going to relaunch the Galaxy S21 FE in India, but this time around, it is going to be available with the Snapdragon 888 instead of the Exynos 2100 variant that was originally launched. You are getting the SM-G990B4, and you are getting 8 gigs of RAM and 256 gigs of storage.
Honestly, we don't know what's the official reason for Samsung to release the Galaxy S21 FE all over again, especially when there are better phones available in the market. Samsung has not given a release date for this phone or the price, but I am really hoping that the launch is imminent and the phone is priced cheaper than other similar-performing phones because, let's be honest, A lot of people wouldn't want to have a chipset that came out in late 2020.
What's even interesting is that aside from bringing back the Galaxy S21 FE, Samsung is also working on the Galaxy S23 FE, which will be powered by the Exynos 2200. So, why would the company have two phones that are allegedly releasing in the same year, with inferior hardware for 2023, and a price that will most likely be higher for what they are offering? Well, one reason is that Samsung has a lot of inventory of these devices and chipsets, and in order to cover up the losses, the company is willing to rerelease them in the market so it could make some money out of them. Of course, there could be other reasons too, but this is the one that makes the most sense.
