        does the s21 fe 2023 version come with more years of android and security support as compared to the original version?

          Fan Edition or FE is largely a vision-less concept for now.

          It started with Note 7, which got a FE after original was banned for being fire prone due to huge battery in small space.
          S10's FE was a big screen phone but with inferior sound & camera quality, and heavier than S10 regular.
          S20's FE is a good concept, it has Snapdragon 865 with memory card slot, but its heavy too.
          But, S21's FE is largely useless, offering not too much more than a discount over regular S21.

          Now they're betting on Snapdragon 888 to save the day for an already doomed phone...
          It would've been great if FE had essentials like audio jack, microSD, etc to actually appeal to the fans, but nothing such here.

              Just sold my S21FE 888 at a loss(bought with 400euros refurbished, sold with 200e 2 months later) . Nice camera, performance, screen but: slow charge and terrible battery life as it is summer the screen was full brightness. Just bought myself an iPhone ..slow charge but compensates with good battery life. Bye bye android forever

                  Sam N8 808 owner, 11 Jul 2023Overpriced but it will sell because people so love the idea... moreDude but it is not future proof phone obviously. No more os updates.

                    Yong Farlight84, 11 Jul 2023eWaste 🚮Yeah okay, keep bashing.

                      Overpriced but it will sell because people so love the idea of a Snapdragon from Samsung. This does seem like a dumping effort though, an expensive one.
                      Anybody, who'd rather get a stable Snapdragon is welcome to get S20 FE instead.

                      Fun Fact: Among the 5 FAQ's under the S21 FE (Snapdragon) on Samsung's Indian website is the question, " How to prevent the overheating of your Galaxy device ". Ironically, it has been updated just recently on June 27, 2023.

                              They should've released the snapdragon version in India instead of exynos back in Jan 2022, Not now. People will buy S23 instead 🙄

                                Anonymous, 10 Jul 2023No they aren't. The FE series starting with the S20 FE... moreThe S20 FE actually has way better battery than the S21 FE, with no overheating issues. The Exynos and the 888 have heat and thus battery issues. But the numbers are exaggerated for effect.

                                  are you guys dumb, s21 fe has been out worldwide for years

                                    osabkr, 10 Jul 2023i think FE is basically a way to sell leftover parts. I guess Samsung has created their version of the iPhone SE now too.

The FE series starting with the S20 FE have had some serious issues with battery life and overheating. It's meant for people who will buy for the brand name and then suffer.
