The question on the lips of every Samsung fan for the past few months is undoubtedly "Where is the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE?" That would be the question There have been plenty of rumors suggesting that this phone is on the way, but nothing concrete from Samsung itself
We now have another potential look at it, thanks to leaker Roland Quandt - who has shared an image that appears to show off the S21 FE's back cover No big surprise, but it gives us an idea of what this phone could look like - and what colors might be available
The cover comes in black, white, purple, and olive green, which Android Police notes are the same colors as the newly released Galaxy Buds 2 Whether this means that Samsung originally planned to tie the two products together is not certain, but it seems unlikely to be a coincidence
If these covers are real, the S21 FE's design appears to be quite similar to Samsung's Galaxy S21, with the same triple-lens camera array and vertical camera bump; this makes perfect sense, given that the S21 FE is a cheaper version of the S21
The only major difference is that the camera bump is the same color as the rest of the phone's cover This suggests that it will be made of the exact same material as the back of the phone, but what that material will be is unknown at this stage
The Galaxy S21's back cover is made of polycarbonate, which is just a fancy way of saying plastic Presumably, given the low-cost nature of the S21 FE, it will be similar However, the plastic back of the Galaxy S20 FE is not as luxurious as the back of the S21, and it would not be surprising if the same situation is repeated with the S21 FE
Interestingly, even though Samsung has not said anything about the S21 FE launch, Quandt noticed that some retailers are already selling parts for the S21 FE In fact, the back cover pictured in his tweet is already for sale on at least one UK website for the price of £1180 ($1608)
All of this suggests that the S21 FE is still on Samsung's roadmap More recently it has been suggested that it has simply been postponed, although there were rumors that the handset had been canceled In fact, the postponement could mean a launch at CES in January
Hopefully, we will have some concrete details about it soon, but until then keep an eye on our Samsung Galaxy S21 FE hub for all the latest news
