Samsung’s sub-flagship mobile phone FE series has always been considered a cost-effective choice, but now it may be a disappointment for many people. The Galaxy S21 FE has the key features of the Galaxy S21 series, but it can provide better choices for more budget-conscious consumers.
However, delays in launch and shortage of component supply threaten to ruin an otherwise good plan, and the latest news is that the Galaxy S21 FE may not even be available anywhere except for the two main markets.
It’s almost like the Galaxy S21 FE is doomed to fail from the beginning. According to industry insiders, it has become a victim of chip supply problems, which have enveloped almost all industries, not just the technology industry.
This situation may have three adverse effects on the Galaxy S21 FE’s chance of success in the mobile market this year. The first is that it will be postponed to the last quarter of this year, possibly to make way for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 next month.
Then there are rumors that because of Qualcomm chip supply problems, Samsung may switch to Exynos processors, or more likely to mix Snapdragon and Exynos chips again. The latest news from the Korean Herald is that Samsung may launch the Galaxy S21 FE in the United States and Europe.
This phone may not even enter its own home market, let alone other countries, and usually, in these countries, a pair of The wallet-friendly Galaxy S flagship phone will obviously receive a warm welcome, but due to the shortage of chips, Samsung’s production capacity is limited and the product cannot be launched.
For a somewhat high-end smartphone with a price tag of $610, when it arrives late, the market is expected to have more choices, including Google’s own Pixel 6, which will also be a very interesting phone.
