Now that Apple has officially launched the iPhone 13 and Google started selling the Pixel 6, the next big release in the mobile market is without a doubt the next generation of Samsung phones.

Needless to say, the Galaxy S22 is one of the most anticipated releases of 2022, but at the same time, Samsung is also giving the finishing touches to other models that are playing a very important role in its mobile strategy overall.

The Galaxy S21 FE, for example, is projected to provide customers with the essential feature package originally bundled with the main Galaxy S21, but with small tweaks that allow Samsung to stick with a lower price tag. This is an approach that Samsung has also used before for FE-branded models and which is expected to be used again for a cheaper model of the Galaxy S21.

Up to this point, however, Samsung has remained completely tight-lipped on the Galaxy S21 FE, though we heard on several occasions that the device could go live at some point in January.

Official launch in January

Sure, the timing doesn’t seem to make sense given January is also the month to witness the debut of the Galaxy S22, but according to a recent report, Samsung has carefully planned the calendar in advance.

So as a result, the Galaxy S21 FE could see the daylight in January at CES, with the device to sport a 64.-inch display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, 6GB RAM, and a triple-camera system.

Press materials that reached the web a few days ago suggest the device will be offered in four different colors, with the front-facing camera to obviously sport a punch-hole design similar to other Samsung devices.

Of course, we should all take this information with a pinch of salt, but it becomes more obvious that the Galaxy S21 FE would see daylight in January anyway.
