The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE was supposed to launch last year, but was only released earlier this year due to the global chip shortage and other factors. Now the Galaxy S22 FE is next, but according to Naver, a Korean publication, the Galaxy S22 FE may suffer the same fate; So it may not be released this year.
Allegedly, the Galaxy S22 FE will be delayed and the official reason for the delay is unknown. While the publication shows that the phone’s software is not ready as the reason for the delay, it underlines that this still does not mean that the Galaxy S22 FE model will never see the light of day.
Samsung’s FE series is an important product line to compete with entry-level flagship models from rival brands, so Samsung is unlikely to kill this series. That’s why we expect the Galaxy S22 FE to launch early next year, if not this year. Because it would not make much sense for Samsung to release 2 Galaxy FE models in 1 year.
On the other hand, the South Korean company had previously made a similar move for the Galaxy Note to catch the series. Therefore, instead of the Galaxy S22 FE, it may introduce the Galaxy S23 FE directly next year with the Galaxy S23 series.
