The Galaxy S20 FE made its debut last year, offering a balanced combination of handy features for a reasonable $699 starting price. And its successor, the Galaxy S21 FE, could be on its way soon. Despite earlier rumors of the phone’s possible cancellation, the latest buzz from SamMobile says Samsung’s next Fan Edition phone will debut at CES 2022. We also recently got a glimpse of the Galaxy S21 FE’s back panel thanks to leaked photos posted to Twitter by Roland Quandt. Samsung showed off the expensive foldable Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 at its August Unpacked event and more options to customize those phones at its October Unpacked Part 2 event. Although upgrades to other phones in the Galaxy S21 lineup are also on their way in the near future — here’s what we know about the Galaxy S22 so far — Drew Blackard, Samsung Electronics America’s vice president of product management, previously said in an interview with CNET that they’re not a threat to the Galaxy FE or Note. There have been a few leaks and other tidbits floating around regarding the Galaxy S21 FE’s possible specs and availability, so let’s dive into what we know so far. We’ll keep updating this as the release date approaches and we learn more.

According to the listing, the phone would have a 6.4-inch screen with 2,340×1,080-pixel resolution, a 4,370-mAh battery, three cameras (a 32-megapixel main lens, a 12-megapixel front-facing and an 8-megapixel), an in-display fingerprint sensor and support for 45-watt fast-charging. The phone would also include 8GB RAM as well as 128GB and 256GB storage options. If true, a 6.4-inch screen would make the phone a bit taller than the 6.2-inch screen on the higher-end Galaxy S21, while being slightly smaller than the 6.5-inch screen on last year’s Galaxy S20 FE. However, this camera would be both a step up from the Galaxy S20 FE’s main 12-megapixel lens and a step down from the S21’s 64-megapixel camera. More rumored specs were reportedly spotted on the Google Play Console analytics tool, according to MyFixGuide, including 6GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 888 chip.
