The majority of countries will get the Snapdragon processor, so your assessment doesn't make any sense from that point either.
The long story short is, there is a global chip shortage that's been ongoing for a couple years. Mostly because a certain Taiwanese brand lured all companies onboard to their plant while knowing they could never deliver. But also because those trillion dollar corporations are hoarding all the supply for their cloud services, where they then can rent the hardware out to you for a ridiculous monthly fee. All this obviously "covered up" by the lie about crypto mining.

    This is due to the big AMD chip shortage, especially for the Exynos version which Australia and New Zealand gets, which will have AMD graphics. Microsoft can't sell any more Xbox Series X consoles until AMD speeds up its chip production.

          Call me cynical, but perhaps this has more to do with late s21 fe launch and wanting to give it more time for sales before s22 comes out at same price and kills the demand for it. (So not having to price drop the fe as soon)

The worst that could happen is the phone won't be in stores for a few weeks, but then it'll return (it was the same with A52).

                                Unfortunate if true. I can’t wait, Samsung is the best.

                                  why? they're expecting them to actually sell through their entire stock? highly doubt thats gonna happen.
