We stopped believing it would happen !After months of teasing and cascade delays caused by the shortage of components, Samsung has just lifted the veil on its new mid -range smartphone: the Galaxy S21 Fe 5G.

In accordance with the latest rumors, the South Korean manufacturer therefore took advantage of the excitement surrounding the CES of Las Vegas to formalize the successor to the Galaxy S20 Fe.

The little brother of the Galaxy S21 does not lack panache

Founding fully in the S21 family, the Galaxy S21 FE 5G arises as the most affordable model of the Lot.But that does not mean that we will have to make too important concessions.10 months separating its release from the Galaxy S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra, the smartphone is still benefiting from state -of -the -art components - Up to a certain point.

Summary.The Galaxy S21 FE 5G is in the form of a Dynamic AMOLED 2X 6.4 -inch flat -screen smartphone, capable of displaying a Full HD+ definition on a maximum frequency of 120 Hz.Samsung promises a 240 Hz sampling for fluid interactions.The screen is punished in its center to house a 32 megapixel photo sensor.

On the internal watchmaking side, the S21 FE 5G counts on the faithful Snapdragon 888, well known to our services.It can be configured from 6 to 8 GB of RAM (LPDDR4) and will count up to 256 GB.A 4,500 mAh battery completes the lot.Note that it can be recharged up to 25 W wireless, and 15 W flawless.Samsung wishes to recall that no charger is provided in the smartphone box.

Finally, the phone will be launched under Android 12 with one UI 4 at the helm.Three years of security updates are guaranteed by the manufacturer.The smartphone is also resistant to immersion thanks to its IP68 certification.Two characteristics which, it must be said, are rather rare in the mid -range segment.Many market more affordable devices, but to mediocre software monitoring and resistance to zero external elements.

A dated photo configuration, but capable

For the photo, Samsung remains on sure values.In reality, the configuration does not change compared to that of the Galaxy S20 FE.

There is a trio of sensors made up of a 12 megapixel high angle (1/176 "; f/1.8;1.8 µm), an ultra-wide-angle 12 megapixel (1/3.0 "; f/2.2;1.12 µm) and an 8 megapixel telephoto lens (76 mm focal length; f/2.4).

The manufacturer does not extend to the video capacity of its smartphone, but you can bet without getting too wet on 4K to 60 IPS, at least on the main sensor.As said above, the photo module before will have 32 megapixels and will offer a 80 ° Department field.

Finally, note that if the photo configuration does not change, efforts will of course have been made by Samsung to improve its algorithms and offer better quality photos.The contribution of the Snapdragon 888 and its ISP (Image Signal Processor) will also be felt on the processing of the images.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G: Price and availability

You guessed it, Samsung does not plan to release a Galaxy S21 Fe in 4G version.We therefore go this year on a unique model, which will be available for sale now.Four colors will be available: white, lavender, olive and graphite.

Regarding the price, nothing changes compared to last year.In version 6+128 GB, the Galaxy S21 FE 5G starts at 759 euros, and climbs up to 829 euros for the model provided with 256 GB of storage.Recall that it is not possible to extend the memory of the smartphone via an SD card;The option of better storage is therefore not a bad idea.

A rather appetizing smartphone so, even if its price makes it one of the most expensive in its category.It must be said that the current classic Galaxy S21 price does not serve this new model: the latter regularly falls under 700 euros during sales periods.
