When Samsung is all set to launch a phone, you cannot expect it to go under the radar. There is often either an offline event or an online stream for the phone's launch. However, according to the latest reports, Samsung has silently launched a new phone in India, and that too in offline stores. We are talking about the Galaxy S21 FE with the Snapdragon 888 chip.
Samsung launched the Galaxy S21 FE Snapdragon 888 variant globally last year, but it debuted the Exynos model in India. Earlier this week, the company announced it would launch the Snapdragon 888-powered Galaxy S21 FE in India soon. The phone has silently made its way to the offline stores' shelves.
The Galaxy S21 FE will be offered in four color options
As reported by The Tech Outlook, the Snapdragon 888 chipset-powered Galaxy S21 FE is available in retail stores in India. Moreover, the smartphone is also said to officially debut today, i.e., July 10. The phone is priced at INR 49,999 (roughly $605) and will be available in four colors, Olive, Graphite, Lavender, and Navy Blue.
There will be exciting offers, such as cashback offers on HDFC credit cards, EMI transactions, and bank EMI for up to nine months. Besides, there is a no-cost EMI option of up to 15 months, valid through Samsung Finance+, and upgrade options worth INR 5,000 are available. For comparison's sake, the Exynos model of the Galaxy S21 FE starts at INR 37,999 (approx. $460) in India.
The Galaxy S21 FE features include a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED 120Hz refresh rate display, 8GB RAM and 256GB onboard storage, a 12+12+8 MP camera setup at the back, a 32MP selfie shooter, and a 4,500 mAh battery with 25W fast charging support. The phone will come with Android 13 powered by the One UI 5.1 out of the box.
