Samsung is rumored to launch the Galaxy S21 FE at the beginning of next month, meanwhile, the latest rumor hints at a big upgrade over its predecessor. According to a recent report, the upcoming S21 FE runs Android 12-based One UI 4.0 software system out of the box.
To be mentioned, the Galaxy S21 series was launched in early 2021 with Android 11-based One UI 3.1 pre-installed. Last year, Samsung launched the Galaxy S20 FE with the same software installation as the Galaxy S20 series, but things are likely to change this time.

Rumor spreading that Samsung may debut an Exynos 2400+ chip with Galaxy S24 FE is fake. Tipster OreXDA claims that Samsung won’t bring any mid-cycle iteration of its Exynos chipset, however, improvements to power efficiency and yield are likely.
Reports surfaced claiming Samsung could bring Exynos 2400+ chip to the Galaxy S24 FE. As we didn’t see much happening in the past, the segment would continue as it has so far. Hence, no Plus, Pro, or Ultra iteration of Exynos would launch this year.
The rumor claimed that Exynos 2400+ may bring up to 10% power efficiency and yield boost. The tipster noted that the chipset may be marketed with Plus branding for promotional purposes. However, it would hurt Samsung’s chip distribution strategy.
⚠️ Fake Warning ⚠️
Samsung Never Waste their own silicon for FE Lineups.
They can redesign the existing processor for enhance the node, but they never release kinda like Exynos *Pro* , *Plus* , *Max* etc.

If this happens, Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus users would think robbed. We’ve seen such happening with the Galaxy S22 and S23 FE flagships. While the former debuted the Exynos 2200 chip, the latter was equipped with its enhanced variant paired with a larger cooling chamber.
Samsung won’t fade its reputation just for silly marketing purposes. The Exynos 2400 is a tough competitor to its Qualcomm counterpart, which we haven’t seen in previous generations. Samsung’s enhanced process and yield would benefit it before the S24 FE arrival.
Exynos 2400 used in S24 and S24 Plus features a 10-core architecture. It’s fabricated on Samsung’s 4-nanometer process technology and has 1 core Cortex-X4 at 3210 MHz, 2 cores Cortex-A720 at 2900 MHz, 3 cores Cortex-A720 at 2600 MHz, and 4 cores Cortex-A520 at 1950 MHz.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may not feature a stacked battery and 65W charging. Last April, it was reported that the company is developing advanced battery tech inspired by EVs for its mobile portfolio. However, the plan to bring it to Galaxy reportedly pushed to Galaxy S26 Ultra.
According to a rumor, Samsung canceled bringing stacked battery tech and 65W charging to Galaxy S25 Ultra. Now, it is planned for Galaxy S26 Ultra, which will arrive in 2026. The next Ultra flagship would continue 5000mAh conventional battery and 45W charging support.
Stacked battery tech would mean offering a higher energy density with a different arrangement of the cells. It will unlock even longer battery life for the Galaxy flagships. Meanwhile, Samsung fans won’t see advanced batteries in the flagship arriving next year.
The tipster mentioned that Samsung is skipping the new battery and faster charging in the S25 Ultra to reduce the cost. We’ve seen Chinese manufacturers bringing over 5000mAh battery to their recent flagships, however, Samsung still offers longer battery life.
As Snapdragon going more expensive this year, the South Korean tech giant considering expanding its Exynos to more Galaxies. The Galaxy S25 Ultra may use Snapdragon internationally could also be the reason behind the delay in stacked battery tech.
It seems that it was in the plan, but Samsung changed its mind, wanting to reduce costs and put the stacked battery and 65w charging speed in the S26U.
