The Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite was only available once, followed by the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition and the successor seems to have been planned for a long time.
Fan Edition: Last year the Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition inherited the Lite versions from the previous year and was very convincing. Samsung offered almost the same high-end hardware as the original S20 smartphones, but at a more attractive price and in a wide range of colors. In any case, it was well received, the Galaxy S20 FE has also been able to sell well in this country. A successor seems to have long been determined.
One of the most famous “leakers” of our time published a schedule from Samsung, which was probably only intended for internal purposes. It didn’t work out well though. In any case, this schedule reveals the near future of newer Samsung devices. A hot August is revealed, because an “FE Unpacked” is planned for August 19th. Behind this is probably the Samsung Galaxy S21 Fan Edition.
Fan Edition with Snapdragon platform and as a Note replacement?
This year the Galaxy S21 FE may only be available with 5G and that of course gives hope for the integration of the Snapdragon 888. Last year, Samsung had equipped the cheaper 4G model with an Exynos chip, which was not necessarily well received by the European fan base. For a variety of reasons, people prefer Qualcomm chips, which usually do a little more and are better for battery life.
It is also interesting: Samsung is planning the new Fan Edition for the period of the Note series, which may not be available this year. Or maybe never again? A popular smartphone for the mass market could fill this gap. Samsung seems to be pursuing this plan. Speaking of plan. At least on the leaked part there is nothing to read about the Note series anyway, which could “confirm” its end.
