Samsung Galaxy S21 FE’s Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 2100 variant availability!

Samsung has finally unveiled the Galaxy S21 FE 5G today. Featuring the Galaxy S21’s same sleek design, high-end performance, pro-grade camera and seamless connectivity, the Galaxy S21 FE 5G offers the premium features of the Galaxy S21 in a nice package so that more people can enjoy them.
The Galaxy S20 FE has been honored as a ‘flagship killer’ in some circles. This may not be the case considering the launch time of the Galaxy S21 FE, but it certainly has some attractive features.
The S21 FE 5G continues the legacy of the Galaxy S21 with its premium, signature design. It all starts with the iconic, fan-favorite contour-cut frame that seamlessly integrates with the S21 FE 5G camera housing for a stylish, unified look.
However, in the United States and a few other countries around the globe, you will find the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset inside the Galaxy S21 FE. It is the second-best Android chipset in 2021, with slightly better performance than the Snapdragon 888 Plus. Both chipsets are weaker than the flagship product Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 by 2022.
Although it is not in the first place, the SD888 is still a beast. Typically, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE can handle any task you throw. It is suitable for multi-taskers and also a good choice for those who play with playthings with console emulation on their phones.
Meanwhile, in the UK, Europe and many other parts of the world, the Galaxy S21 FE comes with an unnamed Exynos chipset. We believe this is the Exynos 2100 found in the global variant of the S21 series. However, Samsung will not confirm this to us.
One thing to note about the performance regardless of the chipset you get is that the entry-level Galaxy S21 FE comes with 6GB of RAM. This is slightly worse in multi-tasking than the 256GB models of the Galaxy S21 which also has 8GB of RAM and the Galaxy S21 FE which has 8GB.
