Samsung is working on the sequel to one of its best phones yet in the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, but a chip shortage threatens to derail the launch.
The future of Samsung’s rumored Galaxy S21 FE, which stands for Fan Edition, is up in the air. Initially said to be delayed or even canceled due to a chip shortage that has plagued the electronics industry for the past couple of months, Samsung told Bloomberg: “While we cannot discuss details of the unreleased product, nothing has been determined regarding the alleged production suspension.” Even with that haze of uncertainty, it appears that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is still being worked on with an eye toward a possible launch. A report from Korea shared the S21 FE will launch with either an Exynos or Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, depending on the market, with a launch date sometime during the second half of the year.
