    S21 FE will receive at least Android 15 and maybe this version can get up to Android 16!

      Now we get FE model.
      I am worrying it will be Feared Edition just for exynos 2100.
      But SD888 giving me the creeps too.

            Reminded me of the earlier days where Samsung rebranded their J series phones 2 years after their release such as the Galaxy Grand Prime Plus 2018, J2 2017, Galaxy J2 Pro 2020 etc

              potato4k, 01 Jul 2023Imo this is fine, as long as it’s launched with Android 13 ... more> 4 OS upgrades from 13 onwards
              No lol, the "4 OS upgrades" counted since the first version that used on this phone when it's launched back then (in this case, Android 12). So, starts from now, this device will only receive 3 OS upgrades left + security patches until 2027.
              Edit: Also, based on your another comment, I don't think they will add a new SKU and make it exclusively receive Android 17 though.

                seems they just want to clearing their left-over in their warehouse
                those SD888 even with overheat issue, still not bad chip performance wise, imagine if that chip used in M or F series, i think many people still want it

                          S20 FE was the only 'Fan Edition' phone. Its successors' FE stands for 'Failure Edition'

                            Overheating issues and india being a hot country;it makes little sense.
                            Samsung in India launches products a lt a higher price and within 2 to 3 quarters reduces prices and increases offers.
                            They will price this at least 15 to 20pc more than it deserves.

                                Samsung really needs to stop taking Indian customers for a spin. Samsung belts out all mid-range phones with questionable performance and software bugs and charges anything between $300-$600 for the same. That’s probably a reason Samsung is no longer the number - smartphone brand in India and has sales numbers far behind the Xiaomis and Realmes And Onepluses.

                                  If still an authentic news, one should buy S22 instead.

                                        Lol, $600 for a phone with overheating 2021 chipset? Not going to make any difference since diehard Samsung fanboys would buy it anyway.
