The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has another release date if anyone else is waiting for it. This time we are supposed to wait until 2022. Only - is there really still what?
As you surely remember, Samsung has a bag of news for us on October 20. One of them, however, will almost certainly not be the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE. This ghost smartphone is the most mysterious device of 2021. Today we got a new, possible debut date which… it doesn't make any sense.
A few months ago, it seemed obvious that the Korean manufacturer would present the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE in August 2021. It made sense - a year after the premiere of its predecessor and exactly between the debuts of the flagships. Nothing like this happened, and according to current information it is expected to happen on January 11.

This is even later than the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite and S10 Lite debuting in December. These models, however, weren't as heavily positioned - and expensive - as the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE and their launch at the end of the year made a lot of sense. This also points to a delay in the Galaxy S22 family that we've heard of before. Currently, there is even talk of showing them at MWC 2022.
Today's leak is based on information from the supply chain and manufacturing. According to him, mass production of the Galaxy S21 FE will not start until December. The culprit is - what a surprise - the lack of a sufficient number of processors, more specifically the Snapdragon 888. This, in turn, is due to the well-selling folding flagships.
