The Galaxy S21 FE (Fan Edition) would finally accumulate a few more weeks of delay. According to information from a South Korean media outlet, mass production of the mid-range smartphone has not yet started. Faced with the shortage of computer chips, Samsung would be forced to postpone the launch of the affordable S21 to November 2021. The prospect of an imminent presentation seems compromised.
According to information shared by Mauri QHD, a well-known informant, Samsung would present the Galaxy S21 FE on Wednesday September 8, 2021, a few days before the iPhone 13 and Pixel 6. The leaker claimed to have obtained the information from close sources of the company.
A new report from The Elec ensures that the presentation of the Galaxy S21 FE is far from imminent. According to the South Korean media, Samsung would not have not yet launched mass production of the smartphone. Citing sources close to the industry, the outlet says that production will not start until September 2021.
The launch in limited quantities of the Galaxy S21 FE is confirmed
Initially, Samsung was hoping to launch mass production of the phone in May for a back-to-school release. The brand wanted to present the S21 FE in early August at the Unpacked conference dedicated to its new foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3. The shortage of computer chips, which is slowing the production lines of most companies, prompted the chaebol to change its plans.
In addition, Samsung would have been forced to lowering your ambitions. The brand aimed to sell 10 million Galaxy S21 FEs in the world. According to the report, the Seoul giant reduced its production targets by 3 million units. Likewise, the smartphone is expected to be released in a limited handful of markets, including Europe.
Ultimately, The Elec expects that the launch of the S21 FE will not be organized before the end of October or even November. Samsung would charge up to 4 months behind its initial schedule.
