The new Samsung Galaxy S21 FE (opens in new tab) retails for $699 - a full $100 cheaper than the standard S21 at launch. It's also, interestingly, the same price as the extremely well-received Google Pixel 6, giving Android users another compelling mid-range flagship to choose from. Straddling the middle to upper price brackets, the S21 FE looks to be a top choice if you're looking for a slimmed-down device that's packing in great components without all the usual bells and whistles found on the latest releases.
For the price, you'll get the same extremely powerful Snapdragon 888 processor as the standard S21 in a screen size that sits between the S21 and the S21 Plus; 6.4-inches, to be exact. Camera-wise, you're also essentially getting the same specs as the standard S21, albeit with an upgraded front camera and slightly worse telephoto lens.

OS: Android 12 | Screen size: 6.4-inch AMOLED, 120Hz| Resolution: 1080 x 2400 | CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 | Memory: 6GB | Weight: 177g |Storage: 128 / 256| Battery: 4,500mAh | Rear camera: 12MP dual wide/ultrawide/telephoto| Front camera: 32MP
The Galaxy S21 FE is an interesting device at launch. It's angled as the cost-effective choice versus the S21 range, but it comes almost a full year after the release of that particular line. As of writing, we've already seen the standard S21 go for as little as $649 over big sales events like Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day so at first glance the launch price tag of $699 for the S21 FE seems like a tall order.
However, with the release of Galaxy S22 imminent, the S21 FE is poised to take the mantle as the mid-range choice for 2022. Not only is the 'FE' range of smartphones really partial to excellent unlocked and carrier deals, but it's extremely likely that promotions on the standard S21 will now start to dry up as it's discontinued.
When it comes to specs, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is also a great choice on paper too. Aside from the omission of a glass-backed design (lost in favor of Samsung's 'glasstic' material), you're essentially getting the same excellent device as the standard S21. Not only does the S21 FE feature the extremely powerful Snapdragon 888 processor, but it's essentially got the same superb camera system too.
Really, the main difference here is the S21 FE's new 6.4-inch display - which sits in the goldilocks zone between the standard S21's 6.1-inch, and the S21 Plus' 6.7-inch display. With a 1080 x 2400 resolution, vibrant colors, and 120Hz refresh rate, it's definitely one of the best displays you can buy right now in this price range.
