Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will be powered by Snapdragon 888 chip, reveals Geekbench
Starting this year, Samsung launched the Galaxy S21 flagship series which consists of three high-profile handsets including the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra. Following its last year’s commitment, the company is going to introduce a Fan Edition variant of the Galaxy S21 in near future.
Ahead of the official announcement, another leak has been come up about this device, and this time, it exposes the most important feature of this upcoming smartphone, which is the processor that will power it. Recently, the Galaxy S21 FE bearing model number SM-G990B spotted on the Geekbench.
According to the Geekbench listing, the Galaxy S21 FE equipped with one of the world’s most powerful chipsets, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888. However, Samsung has not yet launched an LTE version of the Galaxy S21 range, and we haven’t heard about any Galaxy S21 FE LTE yet.
Well, the Galaxy S21 FE has finally appeared with Snapdragon 888 variant, then what about the Exynos 2100 powered model? As Samsung discontinued producing the Exynos 990-based Galaxy S20 FE in favor of the Snapdragon 865 model, we can expect that there will be only a Galaxy S21 FE 5G with Snapdragon 888 SoC.
At the same time, if Samsung has a Galaxy S21 FE with Exynos 2100 processor in the works, we will surely get information in the coming days. Coming back, the Geekbench reveals that this device runs Android 11 and supported by 6GB of RAM. It will also eligible to get three years of Android OS upgrade support just like its parent models.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim plans hit a roadblock
Samsung is reportedly facing technical hurdles in Galaxy S25 Slim development. The company is said to be having issues with supply chain and components partners, leading it to end up skipping the adoption of evolving technologies.
According to the info, Samsung could skip adopting the next-gen PCB in Galaxy S25 Slim. Meanwhile, a new kind of battery is rumored to be used in the limited edition smartphone, while capacity improvements are unlikely.
The source disclosed that Samsung may not be able to bring a planned battery upgrade to the Slim variant. This is because of the delay in mass production of the substrate by applying new materials and techniques.
The reason is that thinner circuit boards could not be commercialized next year. Samsung has allegedly planned to reduce the S25 Slim by using a thinner PCB plate and a slimmer battery with increased height and width.
The battery aspect could see a revamp from the conventional solution. It is reported that the S25 Slim’s battery could feature a different form of cell and material. It will help Samsung marginally reduce the phone’s overall thickness.
Previous Reports
Galaxy S25 Slim may not replace Samsung’s next Fan Edition smartphone. The S25 Slim is said to be produced in limited quantities. There’s no genuine data on what sleek the phone would be in terms of dimensions.
The S25 Slim may not be released alongside the Galaxy S25 series early next year. Samsung may opt for a mid-year timeframe to bring the slimmer model. That said, the S25 lineup will continue the legacy with three models.
A tipster claimed that the S25 Slim will feature a 200-megapixel camera. The other camera specs could be equivalent to the S25 including a 12-megapixel ultrawide, a 10-megapixel telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 12-megapixel selfie snapper.

itel launches S25 Ultra clones before Samsung even drops the real thing
itel just launched Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra clones before Samsung drops the real thing. The next-gen Galaxy flagships will be announced early next year. Meanwhile, itel tried to gain some attention on the name of Samsung’s flagships.
The Galaxy S25 series will be equipped with top-notch hardware capabilities. Advanced Galaxy AI features will help them stand tall against rivals. Copying the name is easy but there’s no comparison between itel and Samsung’s S25 Ultra.
Last year, itel launched the S24 series in certain markets. Now, the company come up with the S25 and S25 Ultra, which even cost less than Samsung’s affordable phones. itel copied the possible camera arrangement and brought a curved screen.
itel S25 and S25 Ultra come with flat AMOLED and curved AMOLED screens, respectively. The phones get a 50MP main camera, 32MP selfie snapper, 5000mAh battery as well as IP54 splash resistance.
The itel S25 and S25 Ultra models are available for purchase in the Philippines. The S25 starts at PHP 5,799 (~ $110), while the S25 Ultra starts at PHP 10,999 (~ $210) for 8GB RAM + 128GB/256GB storage configuration.
People may find the itel S25 and S25 Ultra good deals in the budget segment. The company managed to steal the design aesthetics very well this time. However, it will still feel far from the real thing that Samsung may bring in 2025.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Release
Samsung could launch the Galaxy S25 Ultra in January 2025. The flagship will be equipped with a high-profile display, Qualcomm’s most powerful processor, an upgraded ultrawide camera, new Galaxy AI features, and a refined design.
The Note-like boxy appearance will be ditched in the S25 Ultra. Rather, Samsung is reportedly opting for a Note 20-like design approach with minimal rounds on corners. The camera rings may also be inspired by the Z Fold 6’s.
