Besides various chipsets for various markets are absolutely nothing new for Samsung – the Galaxy S series has actually been releasing with Qualcomm and Exynos platforms all at once for the much better half of the previous decade.
Samsung has supposedly postponed the Galaxy S21 FE launch for the last quarter of the year due to the lack of chips. The phone was expected to get here with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chips with limited supply, but according to sources from South Korea, there might be a change of plan.
Mae-il Business reports the Galaxy S21 FE will ship with the internal Exynos chipsets at overseas markets such as Europe and North America.
Samsung has been having a hard time to launch brand-new phones with flagship chips due to production scarcity. Due to the fact that of that, the 2021 Galaxy Note series was altogether cancelled. Still, apparently, Samsung does not wish to follow that with yet another cancellation of a prominent product so the Galaxy S21 FE getting a chipset swap makes good sense.
