Samsung's affordable Galaxy S21 FE is set to launch this twelvemonth. And while we've yet to run across official images this, these stunning new renders should tide you over until we get the existent thing.

The creative person 4RMD is at it once again, this time mocking up a concept video for the Samsung Galaxy S21 Fe 5G. Every bit with last year's handset, the smartphone balances the most desirable features of the flagship S serial, while cutting others in order to hit an affordable price point.

For example, the Galaxy S20 FE sports the 120Hz display of the Galaxy S20, a robust camera setup and a diversity of fun colors to cater to its younger demographic. This Galaxy S21 Fe concept sticks to the same Samsung strategy.

Some of the details of the Galaxy S21 FE in the video differ slightly from the leaks and rumors we've heard so far. The display of the return is half dozen.3-inches, compared to the 6.4-inch screen we're expecting to run across. Either manner, it'southward larger than the Galaxy S21's 6.2-inch panel.

The 120Hz refresh charge per unit is practically a guarantee at this bespeak, as is the 5G support. Last twelvemonth's model also offers an LTE variant, merely nosotros'll have to see if Samsung keeps a divide version around this yr for the Galaxy S21 FE.

On the processor front, the Snapdragon 888 SoC of the Milky way S21 is a safe bet for the Galaxy S21 Iron. The battery of the mock-upwards is the aforementioned size as its predecessor, coming in at 4,500mAh. While that's 500mAh larger than the Galaxy S20 base of operations model, in our testing the battery life was shorter than anticipated. Hopefully, we'll run into better endurance this yr.

One feature we particularly like about the render is the fingerprint sensor; concluding year'south Galaxy S20 FE is kitted out with an optical sensor, rather than the ultrasonic sensor found in the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20 series. The latter is far more accurate, so we'd dearest to see it come to the Atomic number 26 this yr. But with the objective being to striking an affordable price point, it's not necessarily a feature fans will exist clamoring to see compared to the cameras or display.

On the topic of cameras, the triple lens setup on the rear of this Galaxy S21 FE boasts a wide angle, wide, and telephoto lens, although 4RMD doesn't touch on the specs. The Milky way S20 Iron offers a 12MP lens (f/1.8) + ultra wide 12MP lens (f/2.2) + 8MP telephoto with a 3x optical zoom and 30x Space Zoom (digital). It also packs a 32MP front-facing camera that is reportedly making an advent on the Milky way S21 Iron.

Of grade, none of these details are confirmed, but the renders do a decent job at showing off what the upcoming Galaxy S21 FE might look like. If Samsung manages to keep the cost down, while offering a handful of premium features, fans volition be more than happy to hand over their cash for it.
