The ‘Fan Edition’ smartphones by Samsung are always a hit because of their hardware at a lower cost. Though we still await the Galaxy S21 FE. However, the device is a part of leaks for months now. Reportedly, the wait could serve as a benefit as it can ship with Android 12 One UI 4.0 out of the box.
The Galaxy S21 FE was supposed to debut in August. However, the production got delayed to Q4 due to some technical reasons. But now, it seems that it will make its debut next year. Well, the delay can turn into an advantage now! If you are planning to buy Galaxy S21 FE, you will get the latest stable operating system straight out from the box without waiting for a later update.
Concerning changes, Android 12 will bring the major overhaul ever to your smartphones, ranging from revamping UI to enhanced security tools that you can READ HERE. Moreover, the One UI 4.0 on the top brings a plethora of minor enhancements. It will allow you to create a customized mobile experience, making it more expressive, dynamic, and personal.
In this case, the Galaxy S21 FE will receive three major Android updates as per Samsung’s policy. That means, unlike Galaxy S21 series, the FE edition will have access to Android 13, 14, and 15 when they become available.
The Galaxy S21 FE is supposed to arrive in January ahead of the Galaxy S22 series in February. So far, we have spotted the device on several online certifications including TKDN, FCC (including Exynos variant), Google Play Console, Bluetooth SIG, and TENAA.
