Samsung on Monday confirmed that it will launch the new Galaxy S21 FE with a Snapdragon 888 chipset in India this month, amid rumours of the likely launch of the Galaxy S23 FE. The South Korean tech giant said it will be launching a new variant of the Galaxy S21 FE 5G smartphone in India in July. The Galaxy S21 FE with Samsung's proprietary Exynos chipset was launched back in 2020. 

The new Galaxy S21 FE 5G will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, which is a 5nm processor known for its performance prowess, and also powers flagship devices such as the OnePlus 9 Pro, and Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, among others. The chipset is coupled with Adreno 660 GPU which promises to boost the gaming capabilities of Galaxy S21 FE 5G.

Designed to deliver the best of Samsung’s flagship experience to young Galaxy Fans, the S21 FE 5G is power-packed with premium “S” series features. Galaxy S21 FE comes with an eye-catching design, powerful performance, a flagship pro-grade camera, and seamless ecosystem connectivity, the company said.

The new variant of the Galaxy S21 FE 5G will come with 256 GB of onboard memory. The expanded storage capacity will ensure that users can store their favourite photos, videos, apps and data.

Meanwhile, the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE seems to be imminent as the device has been spotted on China’s 3C certification website, which means it has received the China Compulsory Certificate. The China Compulsory Certificate or 3C is a mandatory certification required for products that can be exported to the country, which is the world's biggest smartphone market.

According to a recent 3C listing, a Samsung device has been spotted with model number SM-S7110 which is likely to be the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 FE.

According to leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE that were leaked earlier this week, the device looks pretty similar to the Galaxy S23 in terms of design language. Similarly, the volume keys and the power button are placed on the right side of the device and there is a punch-hole display with the selfie camera placed at the top centre of the phone.
