Samsung Galaxy S21 FE user manual reveals lack of microSD card slot, no charger in box

01 September 2021
The manual contradicts a prior Chinese certification document.

- short SoT, standby drain (888 is quite power hungry)
- heat build-up (again, 888 is prone to overheating)
- poor call quality (microphone or noise reduction algorithms are to blame)

Some even say, that photo quality is not good, considering price of the phone. That's why I'm not sure if it's a good choice :(

It's undeniable that they will grow and sales will still be strong despite removing SD card reader (and even headphone jack). Sucks these features are gone, but that's just the reality of it. General population makes up bulk of sales and they never cared about that stuff.

        I think, before Apple does, Samsung should come up with tagline "BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED"

          960, 01 Sep 2021What a disgrace. Why is Samsung calling it FE if it's ... moreWhen the S21 FE gets released they will raise the prices back, don't worry about it.

            I was waiting for release and I was having high hopes that Samsung will include all fan requested features (most requested being SD slot, 3.5 jack, Snapdragon SoC, notification LED, FM radio, and fast charging) and will make a real "flagship killer". But instead we're getting a model, which should be called A92...

            I've narrowed my wishlist to three models: Samsung S20 FE 5G, OnePlus 8T and Asus Zenfone 8. What would you choose and why?

              I'm fine with them removing the charger. AS LONG as the price for the phone will be lower.

                If I want to be told what I want I'll buy Apple....Samsung playing marketing roulette, removing features is the new feature?!? Not in the Android world

                  Wow Samsung, making fun of the company that removed features and to go right ahead and copy them. This is a new low..Even for you! Lets assume SD slot and 3.5mm Jack is irrelevant since people now think "its not necessary" but a charger?? what are you going to do? Use solar Power?

Sony never surpass Samsung in terms of sales but at least Sony is not following Apple footsteps and still retain it's crucial feature and accesories in the box. FYI, S21 series has the lowest sales compare to every S series sold since the S5. This clearly shows that removing features, accesories and downgrading specs is not what most people want!
