At present, there has been a lot of news about the Galaxy S21 FE, some of which claim that due to chip shortages and other issues, the release date of the device will be delayed. However, the latest news said that after mass production of 10,000 units this month, Samsung has solved the mass production problem of S21 FE. In view of the sales volume and popularity of the Galaxy S20 FE last year, such a mass-production scale is far from enough.
It is not clear when Samsung will reach the target number and announce new FE phones, but some people believe that given that the standard Galaxy S21 has been sold at the price of the upcoming Galaxy S21 FE, it may be too late, which goes against the first Publish the purpose of the latter.

Considering that fewer people may buy new Galaxy Z Fold 3 or Galaxy Z Flip 3 folding screens this year, Samsung is considering using the Galaxy S21 Fan Edition to fill the huge market gap between the 2021-2022 Galaxy S flagship smartphones. However, there have been reports recently that the company seems to have encountered a difficult start in the production of the Galaxy S21 FE smartphone, which means that the initial supply may be quite limited.
In the past few months, there have been rumors of concerns about the Galaxy S21 FE launch plan. First, affected by the shortage of global chip supply, Samsung had to launch the Galaxy S21 FE listing plan. Secondly, Samsung once again had to launch a derivative model based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC/its own Exynos 2100 chipset.
Samsung didn’t really produce a lot units of the S21 FE (R9) this month. Roughly 10.000 units only. Considering the launch is happening a month from now it is not really thaaaaaaat much – but this COULD change by later this week or next week.

The latest news is that even though the Galaxy S21 FE has been in production for several weeks, the situation has not improved much. MaxJmb broke the news on Twitter: Samsung only produced 10,000 Galaxy S21 FEs this month, which is too low for a product that will be released next month.
Even if the company can increase production capacity in the next few weeks, we still cannot have much confidence in the company’s supply capabilities. Of course, Samsung may have chosen a rather cautious market strategy to ensure that it does not waste precious chip production capacity on non-high-end product lines with relatively low-profit margins.
However, this entangled psychology also reflects that Samsung is stuck in a dilemma-after all, there are only about four months left before the release of the new Galaxy S22 during the first half of next year.
