While the variant shown in the video is powered by the Snapdragon 888 chipset, the Galaxy S21 FE is rumored to feature Samsung's Exynos 2100 in some markets. Some of the other rumored specs of the Galaxy S21 FE include a triple-camera setup featuring a 12MP primary sensor, a 32MP selfie camera, a 4,500mAh battery with 25W fast charging, and an IP67 rating. Besides the Graphite option, the phone is tipped to be available in Lavender, White, and Olive Green colors as well.
The Galaxy S21 FE could be fully unveiled at Samsung's pre-CES event, which will kick off at 9:30 PM ET on January 4. As per a recent tweet from reliable leaker Evan Blass, the phone will be available to purchase from January 11.
While a few tech companies have already started pulling out of CES 2022 over COVID-19 concerns, Samsung is said to be "closely monitoring" the current health situation.
