The bigger news near the Galaxy S21 FE comes in a follow-upwards tweet from Blass, who'due south pasted some specs on superlative of the front end and back photos of the upcoming handset. Specifically, Blass lists the rear photographic camera specs for the Galaxy S21 FE — a 12MP master shooter augmented by a 12MP ultrawide and 8MP telephoto lenses.

The photographic camera specs may disappoint some, equally earlier rumors had suggested the S21 FE might offer a 32MP main photographic camera. But considering that the Milky way S21 Iron is supposed to be a less expensive version of the Galaxy S21 and that flagship phone has a 12MP main camera, that 32MP sensor rumor may have been wishful thinking.

Blass lists a 32MB front camera for the Milky way S21 FE, which would be an upgrade over the 10MP shooter found on the regular S21.

The leaked user manual confirms a few other Galaxy S21 Iron features that suggest this phone will be a lot like the rest of the S21 lineup. The FE volition have an nether-display fingerprint sensor, for example, and its screen will be able to support a faster refresh charge per unit. (Rumors suggest the Galaxy S21 Atomic number 26 tin can support upwards to 120Hz.) The manual doesn't make it clear whether the refresh rate volition dynamically adjust or if you'll take to change the setting manually, equally you had to with the Galaxy S20 Iron.

While the cameras will be slightly unlike on the Galaxy S21 Fe — the regular S21 and Milky way S21 Plus both characteristic a 64MP telephoto lens — the new phone will support the aforementioned photo features like Single Accept, AR Doodle and more than, based on descriptions of camera features in the Galaxy S21 Iron user manual. (For more on Samsung'south adjacent phone, cheque out the Milky way S21 Fe unboxing video that popped upwardly online later the phone's user manual surfaced — another certain sign we're getting closer to a launch.) Samsung Hungary as well accidentally leaked the cases that would be made bachelor for the S21 Atomic number 26.

The majority of what we know most the Galaxy S21 Atomic number 26 comes to us via rumors, all the same. Like the rest of the Milky way S21 lineup, the new telephone should run on the Snapdragon 888 system-on-chip, and Samsung could pack as much as 8GB of RAM into the telephone. Other rumors point to a 4,500 mAh battery.

In other words, it sounds like the Milky way S21 FE will be a scaled-back version of the Galaxy S21, which is what we are anticipating all forth. That makes today'southward leak of the Milky way S21 Atomic number 26 price somewhat disappointing. In that leak, the S21 FE'southward price is £699 for 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, which would likely translate to $699. That'south only $100 less than the regular S21. Nosotros were hoping the S21 Atomic number 26 might be even cheaper this fourth dimension around.

We could find out the final price and specs of the new telephone very soon. The Milky way S21 Iron is expected to debut in Jan — 1 rumor has the phone launching on January iv and going on sale a week later. In an earlier tweet, Blass backed the January 11 release date for the Galaxy S21 FE.
