      I would be great it they could relaunch their accessories for S21FE. It's getting really hard to get covers for example, especially if you want a specific color or design.

        Well that pricing make no sense in 2023... Shame SD888 is overheating so much as well, very potent procesor but eating juice out of that battery way too fast. My Mi11 was such an amazing device but lord almighty 3H SOC after 2 years was a no no!

          It reminds me of the S20 FE launch first (Exynos 4G version), then S20 FE 5G with SD. This time around though, just the chipset change. It makes no sense to buy at launch, maybe at a lower price is still worth it? My S20 FE 5G is only supposed to get security updates so I will wait for the SD S21 FE price drop. Can't spend a fortune on phones now, either regular slabs OR experimental foldable.

            Might as well do a relaunch of the Galaxy S3, to celebrate a decade since its launch.

                Xiaomi, Bbk and samsung laugh at face of indian costumers.
                They need to boycott these brands.

                  Its price would quickly fall to discounted S21 FE levels

                    galaxy s22 plus is already available for 50k ($600) , I don't understand the point of relaunching this device with 2 yr old chip

                      Koishi Komeiji, 30 Jun 2023This is actually Galaxy S21 FE 2023 edition bruhh why they ... moreThey know people will buy it anyway because many people hates non samsung android phones. They will use 4-5 years os update tactics.(though there's no guarantee being latest os upgrades means better overall experience than older os. Like s10 s20 series the battery drains faster on newest os so it's not worth it despite it has some certain upgrades)

                        Sam N8 808 owner, 30 Jun 2023This was so obvious to me. You know for few times in the l... moreIt's not dangerously close to S22/S22+,It is similar or higher.
                        Both S22/S22+ canbe seen under 50k very frequently & with card offers you can have them at 45k also.evwn without offer S22 duo hovers around 50-55k.

                        So absolutely no point in buying S21FE for that price.
                        Maybe for 35k it might make sense.

                          After some time they will again decrease price.

                              rizki1, 30 Jun 2023I've read what you typed earlier, so Indian SD888 S21 ... moreWell, in most cases, the updates after 2 years, are not Android OS updates, but just security updates.
                              So, I think it should get Android 13, after all, its launched in 2022 starting. But 13 might be last.

                              For remaining 3 years, I think only security updates.

                                [deleted post]I've read what you typed earlier, so Indian SD888 S21 FE released with Android 13? and still the remaining 3 got too?

                                  This was so obvious to me.
                                  You know for few times in the last few weeks, S20 FE was selling even for higher price than S21FE in India. Older model selling for higher only means one thing:- its selling hard, maybe because the former has Snapdragon 865.

                                  But I think the mentioned pricing is dead wrong. Rs. 50000 is wrong pricing, dangerously close to S22 and S23.

                                    Mediatek sux, 30 Jun 2023Sd888 for only 50k with long samsung updates, best deal.1.5 years old phone with long update? How?

                                    Also I don't want an almost 3 years old SoC at that price.

                                      This is actually Galaxy S21 FE 2023 edition bruhh why they re-release it even its 2 years late now

                                        Sd888 for only 50k with long samsung updates, best deal.
