The first information about the successor of last year’s hit

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE was one of the biggest surprises in the smartphone market last year. After a long time, Samsung released a well-equipped flagship model, which lacked nothing and had a reasonable price. His successor is expected this year Samsung Galaxy S21 FE. Portal SamMobile boasted this week of the exclusive information he was able to obtain about this device.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE was created according to the wishes of the brand’s fans

The suffix FE indicates for Samsung the fan edition of the current flagship. According to the South Korean manufacturer, it is designed according to the wishes of the brand’s fans with regard to price. The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE actually confirmed this claim last year. The lower price was only reflected in the worse design, cheaper materials, older display technology and dimensions.

Essential things like the latest chipset, 120 Hz display, camera, water resistance or wireless charging have been preserved. In addition, fans found a card slot and a 3.5 mm jack, which the flagship model often lacks. Will a successor be made with a similar philosophy?

The portal received information about a smartphone with the model designation SM-G990B, which should be the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE. The predecessor of the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE had the model designation SM-G780F / SM-G781B depending on whether it was a 5G or LTE version.

So far, all he knows about the upcoming news is that it should support 5G, have Android 11 and internal memory with a size of 128 GB or 256 GB.
