Recently, the Galaxy S21 FE has received a lot of attention. It was previously reported that Samsung will release it on January 4 and officially ship it on January 11. Unfortunately, the South Korean giant may not give it the same treatment as other flagship phones, because it may not be sold in some markets, including Samsung’s home.
This is because the release of the Galaxy S22 is so close, Samsung may limit the release of the Galaxy S21 FE. A new report seen by the source Tron on Daily talked about the launch of the Galaxy S21 FE in a limited market. The report further pointed out that the product is expected to be released in Europe, but did not clearly explain why Samsung does not release this cost-effective flagship product in other markets, but this may be related to the upcoming Galaxy S22.

It just so happens that Samsung plans to launch its new flagship series in February, so it may hope to release the Galaxy S21 FE on a limited basis because it does not want the sales of the Galaxy S22 to be affected. Another reason for the limited production quantity is the continuous shortage of chips, which not only affects Samsung but also Apple, which is known in the industry for directing a strong supply chain.

It is generally believed that Samsung’s launch of the Galaxy S21 FE so late was a mistake. First of all, at least the product should be unveiled earlier, such as September, because that was the month of the first anniversary of the Galaxy S20 FE release. It became very popular in the United States, and the United States is a market where Samsung has a strong market share.
As of now, the only thing Samsung can use is to make the Galaxy S21 FE as price-competitive as possible. Since the standard version of Pixel 6 has now been released and is marked at a price of $599, Samsung may now have a hard time selling as many FE models as it hoped, but let’s see what surprises there are in 2022.
