BREAKING: Galaxy S21 FE’s future in threat as Samsung reportedly suspended production
Samsung is going to launch its next generation of folding screen smartphones in near future. However, the chip shortage already killed the Galaxy Note series, and later became the reason behind the suspension of the expansion of the recently launched Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 to more countries.
Now, it looks like the future of the company’s next Fan Edition smartphone is under threat as Korean media reported that the production of this upcoming device has been stopped with immediate effect. According to the info, Samsung suspended the production of the Galaxy S21 FE due to an AP (chip) shortage.
Adding to this, ETNews reported that Samsung has also notified the Galaxy S21 FE’s production partners about the suspension of the production and cancellation of orders for sub-materials. At the same time, they also asked to identify inventory in circulation or in production (WIP).

It looks like the Korean tech giant has allocated Qualcomm chips to its upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, and suspended the Galaxy S21 FE model because there are not enough semiconductors. Following the rumors, Samsung insider Ice Universe also confirmed the production suspension of the S21 FE.
However, IceUniverse said that the reason behind the suspension of the Galaxy S21 FE is not the chip shortage, but because of the supply imbalance of battery-related parts. At the same time, it is reported that it will not affect other upcoming models such as Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3.

Google launched the Pixel 9 series earlier than the usual Pixel flagship launch timeline. The Android 16 is also reportedly coming earlier than we’d expect, and the latest report says Google could launch Pixel 9a in the first quarter of the next year.
According to AndroidHeadlines, Google Pixel 9a could be announced by mid-March 2025. Multiple sources citing the outlet confirmed that the next affordable Pixel will go on sale before the end of March 2025.
It seems Google is preparing to bring its Galaxy S24 FE rival around the 2025 iPhone SE debut. Samsung has recently launched the new FE smartphone, while Apple is said to announce the next-generation iPhone SE early next year.
Recently, the CAD renders of Pixel 9a smartphone have been revealed. The images showcased Google’s design decisions. The next A series Pixel could not get bumped camera bar shown in the Pixel 9 series flagships.
Pixel 9 Pro XL reportedly sends private user data to Google servers every 15 minutes. A security researcher at Cybernews discovered that the phone frequently transmits sensitive user data, such as email addresses, phone numbers, and locations.
The discovery sparked a privacy fear as private data is being sent to Google through the Pixel 9 Pro XL. The smartphone sometimes transmits sensitive user data to Google servers even before any apps are installed.
The report also states that the Pixel 9 Pro XL has remote management capabilities, which operate without user consent or awareness. It seems there’s a severe security flaw within the Pixel 9 Pro XL’s operating system.
The phone communicates with services like Google Photos’ Face Grouping without user interaction, raising further privacy concerns. The native Calculator is also suspicious as it could leak calculation history to unauthorized users under certain conditions.
“The amount of data transmitted and the potential for remote management casts doubt on who truly owns the device. Users may have paid for it, but the deep integration of surveillance systems in the ecosystem may leave users vulnerable to privacy violations,” Nazarovas said.
It looks like the AI integration has made some major security flaws across the OS. Google packed the new Pixel phones with advanced security features. The research only discusses potential threats, with data leak isn’t such a general task.
Interestingly, Cybernews researchers employed a “man-in-the-middle” approach to capture and analyze this traffic but noted limitations due to the rooting process. As AI is making our lives easier, it is putting the data at threat at the same time.
