Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 2023 already selling offline in India

If you are not in the know, Samsung is re-launching the 2022 Galaxy S21 FE for India by swapping the original Exynos 2100 chipset for a Snapdragon 888. Pretty much every detail about the new device has already leaked and last we heard the handset might be officially unveiled on July 10. As of writing this article, Samsung's official India website still has the S21 FE 2023 as "coming soon". Meanwhile, however, it turns out that the phone can already be purchased in brick-and-mortar stores.

The price is the same as before ₹50,000, but this time around, the base variant comes with 256 GB of storage instead of 128 GB. That means that technically the S23 FE 2023 offers a sort of discount over the original model.

The color selection is the only other difference between the original model and the S21 FE 2023. The new device comes in Olive, Graphite and Lavender, just like before. There is a new Navy Blue color now, replacing the White option.

Other than that, nothing else has changed about the device's hardware other than the chipset. This means a 6.4" 120Hz display, an FHD+ AMOLED panel, a 12MP main, 12MP ultra-wide and 8MP tele camera (3x), plus a 32MP selfie camera. The battery has a 4,500mAh capacity and supports 25W wired and 15W wireless charging.

One question remains, though: whether the S21 FE 2023 will launch with Android 12 or Android 13 and, consequently, whether it will get an extra OS update over the original S21 FE. We'll just have to wait and see.
