Poll: Samsung Galaxy S21 FE - hot or not? Results are in!

UPDATE: It seems that people aren't as excited as they were when the original Galaxy S20 FE launched. As many of you correctly pointed out, the rumored prices for the S21 FE are on the higher end, defeating the purpose of such a phone (affordable + great specs), and steering people toward the last generation Galaxy S21 lineup. Nothing is set in stone yet, and the pricing may be different when the S21 FE finally launches.

The Galaxy S20 FE was an immense success when it first launched last year - people loved it and appreciated Samsung’s idea to bring premium features to the budget segment. This phone was definitely hot, and our Galaxy S20 FE review is one of the most popular articles on the site for a good reason.

Now, it’s time for the successor. Fresh from the rumor mill we have the full Samsung Galaxy S21 FE specs and price, and there’s a slight increase in the retail price for both memory configurations. While the original Galaxy S20 FE retailed for $699 at launch, now this price has been subject to a slight correction and we have the 6/128GB Galaxy S21 FE priced at $749, and the 8/256GB version at $819 respectively.

The Galaxy S21 FE follows the same philosophy as the original model - a premium experience with a budget price tag. According to the latest leaks, the phone will feature a 6.4-inch OLED display with 2340x1080 pixels resolution. The beating heart of this phone will be the Snapdragon 888 chipset - one-generation-old flagship silicon.

The camera system has not been upgraded from the original FE, the successor features the same triple camera configuration with one 12MP main shooter, a 3.0x telephoto lens, and a 12MP ultra-wide lens.

Here’s the question, though. With so many strong options in the Galaxy A range, is the Galaxy S21 FE as hot as its predecessor? Especially with its price tag now over $800 (that’s iPhone 13 money). Would you buy one with these specs and at this price? Vote in our poll and let us know in the comments.
