14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung is getting ready to take the wraps off a lineup of new smartphones, and the first on the company’s agenda is none other than the Galaxy S21 FE.
The device, which was originally expected to debut earlier this year, is now expected to see the daylight in January, with a CES unveiling very likely.
More specifically, we’re hearing the official announcement could take place on January 3 (or January 4 depending on the time zone), with the sales to kick off shortly after the launch.
Serial leakster @evleaks has recently revealed that January 11 is an important date for the Galaxy S21 FE, without actually confirming if this is the day when the device will see the daylight or when it goes on sale.
S21 FE launching next month
Most likely, however, this is the date when Samsung starts shipping the Galaxy S21 FE, and this makes sense given the public announcement should be shared on January 3 or January 4. The device would therefore start shipping approximately a week after the unveiling.
The timing seems just right, as Samsung could start taking pre-orders for the Galaxy S21 shortly after the CES announcement.
At the same time, it also aligns with a previous schedule we’ve learned of, as Samsung is also getting ready to launch the Galaxy S22 in late January or early February. The company hasn’t yet disclosed any information regarding its new devices, but the S22 is obviously a highly anticipated debut that’s expected to happen in the first two months of the year anyway.
If the 2021 calendar is used again, then the Galaxy S22 could see the daylight in late January, while the device would start shipping in the first days of February. This year, however, there’s a chance this schedule is pushed back for a week or two because of the arrival of the S21 FE, though at this point, this is just pure speculation with no confirmation from a reliable source.
