What does FE stand for on Samsung?

FE in Samsung phones refers to Fan Edition. The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G was built based on feedback from Galaxy fans, and is a collection of the most favorite flagship features — including a top-notch AMOLED screen, plenty of power and strong cameras — at a more affordable price than what you’d get with the standard flagship models. The FE series usually retains most of the core features of its related S-series phone, but makes some minor tweaks to help cut costs.

What’s the difference between S21 and S21 FE?

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G and the Galaxy S21 are not all that different — with exceptions. The S21 FE boasts a slightly larger 6.4-inch screen and a bigger 4500 mAh battery — both of which typically offer longer battery life compared to the S21’s 4000 mAh variety’s hours-long longevity. But the standard S21 feels smaller and a tad more premium in the hand.

S21 : The Galaxy S21, by contrast, has a smaller footprint and feels marginally more premium with its flagship-tailored aesthetic. It has a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen and a 4000mAh battery, which is decent if slightly than the FE variant. The device offers great performance, 120 Hz refresh rate with a high quality display, good cameras and feels like a top-tier phone. If you want to enjoy a more slim, manageable flagship with some very solid performance overall.

S21 FE: The Galaxy S21 FE is designed to offer a little something more in value and practicality, above the standard model of course: with its slightly larger 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED display and more capacious 4500 mAh battery, which translates into generic longer-than-average battery life compared to the regular S21. Performance and camera quality are very similar to the S21, with 5G connectivity and fluid software experience as well. As the S21 FE was released later, it typically receives software updates over a longer period. It's much more about affordability, relatively large screen and good battery life than compact premium feel overall.

Both phones are great options, and they perform similarly to one another. S21 – The S21 is best for compact premium feel, while the S21 FE is best if you want a bigger display and more battery life. If you want value and battery life pick the S21 FE, if you want compact flagship design go with S21.

Which is better, S21FE or S23?

Performance and camera quality are very similar because it would be newer, faster and better. It features a faster Snapdragon 8 Gen2 chip, better 50MP camera, brighter display and enhanced battery efficiency. The S23 also gets As the S21 FE was released later. It typically receives software updates over a longer period. The performs better in gaming and everyday usage.

S21 FE Features: The S21 FE 5G has a 6.4-inch AMOLED 120Hz display, a great battery capacity up to 4500mAh so you can use your phone longer and better performance with Snapdragon 888/Exynos2100. It has a good triple-camera system like the S21, 5G connectivity, fast charging and Samsung’s One UI software, all of which makes for a value-focused flagship option with larger screen and longer battery life.

And while the S21 FE is great for cost-conscious users needing flagship features, the S23 delivers more of everything from power and future proofing to performance, camera quality and long-term support.

S21 FE : The Galaxy S21 FE 5G is a great “Fan Edition” phone, with many flagship features at a more reasonable price. It features a 6.4-inch AMOLED 120Hz screen, 4500mAh battery for long-lasting use and a Snapdragon 888/Exynos 2100 chipset to ensure slick day-to-day operation. The camera setup is in the same range as that found on the S21, so it takes good photos and videos for social media, casual photography and video calling. It is also 5G-enabled, supports fast charging and runs Samsung’s One UI software. At the end of the day, it's about value with the S21 FE: you're getting a bigger screen and more battery life than the 21, at a fraction of the price.

S23: The Galaxy S23 is newer and better, with the faster Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, a brighter screen and an upgraded camera system that includes a 50MP main sensor. It's more efficient, runs smoother games, receives longer software support and rests on a (theoretical) higher long term reliability. A little less juice can still go a long way thanks to optimizations. Or to be more precise about it, greater toughness on Gorilla Glass Victus 2 with better connectivity as well.

Both phones are competent, but the S23 is faster, takes better photos and will get longer-term software support. For would-be S21 FE buyers who desire a larger display, extended battery life and more for their money, the S21 FE remains good. The S21 FE is the way to go if money is tight and you don’t mind a tighter feature set; the S23 whenever it is out.

Is the Samsung S21 FE a good phone?

Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G is a good phone. It's a fast performers with an excellent 120 Hz AMOLED screen along with a solid camera and battery for everything from your daily tasks to gaming and pictures. It also boasts or at least offers some of the headline features like fast performance, Night Mode photography and strong multitasking that make this a phone that sits in between mid-range contenders and premium champions. It might not compare to the latest flagship phones, but for most people it remains a good value.

Why was the S21 FE discontinued?

The Galaxy S21 FE is not a failure but was mostly discontinued because Samsung rolled the dice on newer models. The phone was delayed initially by the global chip shortage, and it came out later than expected to coincide with newer Galaxy devices that cut into its time on the market. As most smartphones do, it was eventually discontinued when Samsung released newer generations such as S22 and later phones on a typical product lifetime.

Samsung S21 FE price in Canada

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G first started selling in Canada for a flagship-lite price, but the phone’s value has slipped down since then because newer models are available. However, due to storage, condition and vendor the device has been more than typically easy to get even in Canada at a price way lower from its launch price. Samsung S21 is one of the Best Price only $259.99 (unlocked)The above offer is a discounted & Refurbished market deal which may not suit you if you need a phone ca. It must check its actual availability. All in all, the Galaxy S21 FE is still a compelling option for those who want flagship features without the flagship price.

dave davis

I needed a phone in an emergency so I messaged the store's chat before they were even open. I received a quick reply to set up a time where I was able to go into the shop to look at a few phones I had seen on the website. The service was great and the prices were amazing. I don't send many reviews, but after my experience, I felt everyone should know how great this local business is. 10/10 would recommend for anyone needing an affordable and reliable phone for a great price.

I needed a new phone after mine took a dip in the swimming pool but didn’t want to upgrade or change models. Kunal quickly provided me with the same model in great condition. A couple of weeks later, I had some text/network issues and contacted Kunal — he promptly fixed it. He knows his stuff! Highly recommend Need-a-Phone Inc. if you need a phone fast and want excellent customer service.

These guys were great! I needed a phone quickly - on a Sunday - and they were here in an hour, transferred the SIM card, gave me a little tutorial and we were good to go! Then the charging cord didn't seem to work well after a couple of weeks, and within a day, two more were delivered to my house. Wow. Where do you get service like that these days? I wish this company all the best!
