Samsung Galaxy S21 FE specifications (expected)
An alleged listing on Geekbench, first spotted by MySmartPrice, shows that the upcoming smartphone could get an Exynos-powered variant as the smartphone, listed as Samsung SM-G990E, is shown with an Exynos 2100 SoC with a peak clock speed of 2.91GHz. The smartphone may get 8GB of RAM and run Android 11. It scored 1,084 points in the single-core tests and 3,316 points in the multi-core tests.
Other specifications of the smartphone could include a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate. The smartphone may measure 155.7×74.5×7.9mm. Another report claims that Samsung Galaxy S21 FE may come in Blue, Grey, Green, Violet, and White colour options. A separate report suggests that it may pack a 4,500mAh battery.
The smartphone has also been spotted on the Google Play Console. The listing suggests that it may come with a Snapdragon 888 SoC, paired with 6GB RAM and Adreno 660 GPU. It is likely to feature a full-HD+ (1,080×2,009 pixels) resolution display.
A 360-degrees render leak shows that the upcoming smartphone shares the same camera module design as other Galaxy S21 series models. It is likely to incorporate a triple rear camera setup — as also seen on a hastily removed Instagram post. At the bottom, the smartphone is seen sporting a speaker grille, a SIM tray, and a USB Type-C port. The volume rockers and the power button are seen to be placed on the right edge. It may also get an in-display fingerprint scanner.
