Samsung Galaxy S21 FE Expected Price

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE costs $699.9 in the US. Hence, we expect the device to cost around Rs. 50,000 in India for the base variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. Given the Samsung Galaxy S21 is available for around Rs. 64,000 in India, the device will cost at least Rs. 5,000 less than the Galaxy S21.

Qualcomm Or Exynos Variant?

Several leaks have confirmed that the Indian iteration of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will be powered by the Exynos 2100 SoC and not the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC. Do note that, Samsung did the same thing with the Galaxy S20 FE, where it first brought in the Exynos edition and then introduced the Qualcomm variant with support for 5G.

Given the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE already supports 5G, the company might not introduce the Snapdragon 888 SoC-powered Samsung Galaxy S21 FE in India. According to the website, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will be available in all four colors and the retail unit will ship without a charger in the box.
