Samsung kills Galaxy S22 FE and will soon announce the Galaxy S21 FE 4G variant
In recent news, rumors suggest that Samsung might not launch the promised FE (special Fan Edition)of the Galaxy S22; instead, it will launch Galaxy S21 FE 4G/LTE variant, which already has a FE 5G edition.
The reasons, according to the industry, are that Samsung wants to reconsider its decision to launch the Galaxy S21 FE 5G just a month before the launching of the flagship Galaxy S22 device.
After the launch of the Galaxy S20 FE, Samsung promised to launch a FE edition for the Galaxy S lineup every year.
Galaxy S20 FE was the first-ever fan edition launched in 2020 and received good feedback. Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G was launched in 2022 early; it was the 2nd FE phone after the Galaxy S20 FE, which was launched nearly six months after the Galaxy S20 series.
Experts think this gap might be the issue that Galaxy S21 FE did not do well in the market. To further create a solid platform for the FE series, Samsung will probably launch an FE 4G/LTE variant for Galaxy S21.
Also, Galaxy S21 never had any 4G variants, so to make it up and attract more customers to the mid-high range, an LTE variant is a strong possibility.
The FE editions are targeted toward the people who want a flagship device’s core features but do not want to pay a flagship price, i.e., younger generations who do not need edge-breaking features in the camera, storage, memory, or computing power. Still, it covers criteria such as colors, battery, etc., to give the user confidence in holding a flagship device.
Another reason could be for those people waiting for prices to go down of predecessors after the launch of the latest series.
The likeness of the Galaxy S21 FE 4G variant coming is based on the following leaks and rumors:
- SM-G990B2 would be model no. for Galaxy S21 FE 4G/LTE.
- It was spotted as being recently certified by the Bluetooth SIG will run Bluetooth 5.2.
- It will be running on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 720G, making it less costly.
- It has already been listed on online websites in regions of Europe like Belgium and Netherlands, and Scandanavia.
Although, It’s unclear if there will be any other hardware differences between the two.
Expected Device Specifications are for SM-G990B2
- The smartphone will feature a 6.4-inch screen with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels.
- Android 12 OS out of the box.
- A bigger 4,500 mAh battery.
- 8GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
- Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 4G might come with a triple rear camera setup that includes 12MP+ 12MP+ 8MP. For selfies, it is likely to sport a 32MP front camera.
Although It’s unclear if there will be any specific hardware differences between the two 4G & standard variants of the Galaxy S21 lineup, people should expect a price difference of around 100$ or 5000 INR.
Also, we could see an FE edition of the Galaxy S22 lineup in the future but consider that after the launch of the next Galaxy S series or the Galaxy S21 LTE version.
Overall this might prove a good decision and a fresh breeze amongst the all 5G hype from Samsung. For more info, please visit the below links.

Samsung brings a mesmerizing feature named ‘Super HDR’ to enhance the shooting and viewing of photos and videos experience for its newly launched Galaxy S24 series. Now it seems that the giant could add a button to turn off Super HDR on Instagram.
Super HDR is a feature that captures images and videos in a new format, based on Google’s Ultra HDR format. It delivers photos that are pretty bright in particular areas and have more detailed shadows when viewed on compatible displays.
However, despite many facilities, some people don’t prefer how Super-HDR works while viewing images and videos onInstagram. Now, as per their request, Samsung is looking for a way to permit users to turn off Super HDR.
The reports reveal that Samsung is looking forward to offering a toggle button to disable or enable Super HDR inside Instagram. This is because some people prefer and want to avoid how Super HDR images and video display (width, higher brightness, color volume, and wider dynamic range) while scrolling Instagram.
It is being speculated by one of the South Korean firm’s official forum moderators that the company is setting up with Instagram to bring a toggle to disable or enable Super HDR, similar to a toggle that is already housed in the OS version of Instagram.
Super HDR is based on Google’s Ultra HDR and captures photos and videos with vibrant colors and more balanced lightning. You can easily catch the difference in both the camera preview and the final results. After uploading the content on Instagram, the super HDR effects will be maintained for a more vivid viewing experience. Then users scroll through images and videos in Super HDR on Instagram, and the display brightens up to match the tone map of the Super HDR file, but some of them don’t prefer the sudden brightness of the screen as they complain regarding this on social media. Now it appears that Samsung is working on it.
Samsung debuted the ‘Circle to Search by Google’ feature on the Galaxy S24 series as part of the Galaxy AI package. It has been a couple of months since the debut of the ‘Circle to Search’ feature, which is still a hot topic in the tech industry. Now this feature is expected to arrive on Galaxy Book and Galaxy Chromebook laptops and PCs.
Samsung exclusively launched the Circle to Search feature on the Galaxy S24 series, then expanded it to more Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S22, and other phones, along with the One UI 6.1 update. Now Google is setting up to bring it to the Chrome web browser on desktop operating systems; somewhere, this points out the probability that it could come to the Galaxy Book, Galaxy Chromebook laptops, and PCs.
At the moment, Google Chrome for desktop features Google Lens to search for text and images on the screen engine. Google seems to be working on the Circle to Search-like UI for the web browser. This is being speculated by a post on X shared by a tipster (via SamMobile) who mentioned that the new Lens UI in Chrome now has a new animation that appears like a familiar feature, ‘Circle to Search’, given that it is expected that this feature will be in Chrome’s version of “Circle to Search.”
While clicking the Google Lens extension, a Circle to Search-like UI will appear, and then you can click and drag using the mouse pointer to draw around the text or image you want to search on the screen. After circling the content you want to search for on the screen, the selected part will be highlighted in a rounded rectangular shape.
The Korean brand ‘Samsung’ is gearing up to begin the mass production of their next-generation phone chipset using a cutting-edge 3nm manufacturing process.
Samsung, in collaboration with Synopsys, a design automation company, has successfully taped out the high-end mobile SoC. This chipset will be built using a cutting-edge 3nm process with ‘gate-all-around’ (GAA) technology; this is the first time Samsung has used this process for a mobile processor.
Initially, Samsung began GAA-based 3-nm mass production in June 2022 and registered its name as the first giant to use this process in the industry. This will be the brand’s first-time mass-producing mobile APs using the 3-nm GAA process. The mobile AP that was mass-produced is presumed to be the “Exynos 2500.”
We already reported that the Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to use the Exynos 2500 chipset. Now again, the new report says that, designed by Samsung’s System LSI division, the Exynos 2500 is expected to power the forthcoming flagship Galaxy S25 smartphone model. It is reported that the Exynos 2500 will be a mass-producer by the end of this year using the second-generation 3-nm process, which is Samsung’s leading-edge technology.
Previously, the Korean giant reintroduced Exynos chipsets to the Galaxy S24 series for the very first time in two years. Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series debuted in 2022 and arrived with the Exynos 2200, but unfortunately experienced low performance and overheating issues. After the failure of the Exynos 2200, the giant subsequent Exynos 2300 project was abruptly canceled, and the entire Galaxy S23 series was equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
Although Samsung introduced its Exynos 2400 and attached it to the newly launched Galaxy S24 base and Plus variants.
