S21 FE

[sulla1965]

I don't see one peep here about the S21 FE. Any thoughs? A bit Pricey at $699 especially with S22 just around the corner.

I would say it was pricey, but with the S21 rumored to start at 899 for the base model I'd say it's priced right for the size. The masses will like it for sure. Also there's people talking about it on Reddit that have purchased and like it.

Has anybody here purchased this device and liked it? Personally, I think the S20 FE is still a better phone/value. I am so glad though that Samsung has made another "flagship," level device that is 6.4 inches in size. Perfect size IMO and they should go back to making phones this size.

I would be tempted to buy this device myself if it had expandable storage.

I ordered one for my wife to replace her S10e. Should received it later this week or early next week. Will definitely by an upgrade to the S10e minus the SD card

Could someone summarize what the 'FE' suffix means? In basic terms is it bigger, better, or cheaper (pick any two) than the non-FE models?

FE = Fan Edition. It is basically somewhere between mid range and high end. It has the high end specs when it comes to processor, Ram, and display with mid range body (glastic instead of glass) and cameras that are somewhat high end but without some of the added features like high end zoom or megapixels. Battery is even comparable to the high end phone. All this for a lower cost

That's why I replaced my S10e with the S20FE (because it still had the SD card). This will probably be my last Samsung since expandable memory has gone away. I have been through the S4, S6, S8, S10e and now the S20FE. I sure miss the size and weight of the S10e (one of my favorites).

Yes very disappointing that they are going away from the SD card. I ordered the 256gb so hopefully enough storage for what she uses her phone plus the trade in value was not bad for the s10e.
