Yes, Samsung’s new member of the Galaxy S21 series, the Galaxy S21 FE 5G, has been expected for a long time. Samsung, which introduced this phone to users in our country, shortly before the introduction of the Galaxy S22 series, follows the design of the Galaxy S21 with its new FE model.
First of all, if we start with the design, the Galaxy S21 FE 5G, which we can say that it follows the Galaxy S21 line with its design, provides a holistic image with its iconic frame design. You can find the Galaxy S21 FE 5G, which is offered for sale in 4 different color options, in white, gray, purple and green color options.
On the back of the Galaxy S21 FE 5G, it uses a quality plastic material that we can call Glass, as Samsung has been using for a while, especially in its premium mid-range smartphones. There are power and volume buttons on the right edge of the phone, which looks nice in the hand and feels quality. Stereo sound is also not bypassed on this phone. While there is no 3.5 mm headphone connection on the phone, which provides stereo sound with the speakers on both the top and bottom edges, we can see the USB-C connection at the bottom again. In the meantime, let’s give you the information that only the USB-C cable comes out of the phone’s box. So you will also need an adapter to charge it.
While the screen of the Galaxy S21 FE 5G is 6.4 inches, the panel consists of Dynamic AMOLED 2X just like the Galaxy S21 model. The phone, which has a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10 + features, has a screen resolution of 1080×2400 pixels. Corning Gorilla Glass Victus is also used as screen protection, and the screen again has a 20:9 aspect ratio. As a result of the preliminary examination, we can easily say that the phone offers a nice appearance as a first impression. There is no one who does not know how sensitive Samsung is about the screen on their phones.
So, what kind of features does the Galaxy S21 FE 5G offer on the technical side? The distinction that we have faced many times before is once again in the S21 FE. The phone has both the Snapdragon 888 processor and the Exynos 2100 processor option, but you can also buy this phone with the Exynos processor in our country. In this sense, there is no difference with the original Galaxy S21. Galaxy S21 FE, which provides the same performance as the Galaxy S21 in terms of processor, provides 8 GB RAM support in addition to this 8-core processor. Of course, it would be more accurate to share our notes on the performance of the Galaxy S21 FE in a detailed review later.
While the storage capacity of our S21 FE is 128 GB, it is a pity that there is no microSD card support in this model, as in the original S21. When we come to the battery, we can say that this area has been expanded a little more compared to the Galaxy S21. S21 FE, where a 4500 mAh battery is used, has 25 watt wired charging, 15W wireless charging support, and on the other hand, wireless charging can be shared.
When we come to the cameras, we see that the most fundamental difference compared to the Galaxy S21 is here. Galaxy S21 FE 5G, which has a triple camera setup like the Galaxy S21 in terms of lens, has made some simplifications in terms of features.
There is not much difference in the main camera of the phone. While the main camera is 12 MP, this camera is f/1. It has 8 apertures, Dual Pixel phase detection autofocus and OIS support. While the ultra-wide-angle camera is also 12 MP, the most important difference is the telephoto lens of the phone. While the telephoto lens of the Galaxy S21 is 64 MP, the Galaxy S21 FE 5G has an 8 MP telephoto camera. Therefore, the shots you will take with this camera will be in a lower resolution than the S21. However, you can zoom in up to 30x.
In terms of camera performance, Galaxy S21 FE, which we can say to be comparable to the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus at this stage, has a significant leap forward with the front camera. The front camera of the phone can take 32 MP photos. We will talk about the camera samples and then the detailed review video.
Another simplification of the camera is the video stage of the Galaxy S21 FE. Although Galaxy S21 can record 8K video, Galaxy S21 FE has 4K recording capability. Of course, how important it is to record 8K video is debatable, but the Galaxy S21 FE does not have this feature.
