A few days ago we told you that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE had entered into mass production. The device has already encountered some delays and the global chip shortage supposedly caused the device to miss an August release date. On Sunday, Twitter tipster Tron (@FrontTron) said in a tweet that “S21 FE October Unpacked has been canceled.”
According to Tron’s message, there are two reasons why Samsung is canceling the device. One reason is the global chip shortage which has phone manufacturers scrambling for chips for non-flagship models; the Galaxy S21 FE was supposed to be powered by the Snapdragon 888 chipset built by Samsung Foundry using its 5nm process node. To keep the price down and still have the phone powered by a flagship chip, Samsung was said to be changing the design and display of the handset.

The second reason for the alleged cancellation of the Galaxy S21 FE is said to be due to the strong sales performance of the Galaxy Z Flip 3; the phone is reportedly selling well beyond Samsung’s expectations. It seems that Samsung doesn’t want to spread itself too thin and would prefer to focus its marketing dollars on the foldable unit. And the recent release of the iPhone 13 series and the upcoming Pixel 6 line might have Samsung concerned about whether the Galaxy S21 FE could stand out among the high-end models from Apple and Google.
Other possibilities for the Galaxy S21 FE could include a release limited to certain markets. As for a total cancellation, we would take this report with a grain of salt.
The Galaxy S21 FE is rumored to feature a 6.4-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 1080 x 2340 resolution. A triple-camera system (with a 32MP primary, a 12MP Ultra-wide camera, and an 8MP Telephoto camera) will reportedly appear on the back of the device while a 4370 mAh battery keeps the lights on and carries support for 45W fast charging.
8GB of memory and 128GB of storage are expected to be included. A variant with 256GB of storage is also believed to be on the way. And we would be remiss if we didn’t mention that the expectations call for an in-display fingerprint scanner.
