The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE would have a major advantage that the other S21s do not have – frandroid

According to SamMobile, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE should be entitled to Android 12 upon release. At first glance innocuous, this feature will however make it a much more interesting smartphone than the other Galaxy S21s in terms of software experience.

It is now a virtual certainty, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE should indeed integrate the catalog of samsung smartphones in 2022. Certainly with a little delay, because the “Fan Edition” version is usually expected in August. But the events related to Covid-19 and the shortage of components have upset the company’s schedule.

This Galaxy S21 FE, which will take the recipe of the high-end S21 but with a few small concessions to lower its price, could well land at the very beginning of 2022. And this with a little surprise that is not to displease us, if we are to believe the information of SamMobile relayed by 9to5Google.

More interesting software monitoring

According to the media, this S21 FE could carry version 12 of Android on board (One UI 4) upon release. As a reminder, the Galaxy s21, S21 More and S21 Ultra were only entitled to Android 11 under One UI 3.1 when they were released. Logical, you will say to me, sinceAndroid 12 was still under development at the time.

However, this small difference would allow the Galaxy S21 FE to stand out from its peers in terms of software experience. As a reminder, Samsung phones are limited to three years of major Android updates. This means that the S21 FE will taste Android 13, Android 14, and Android 15.

On the other hand, the high-end S21s won’t go as far – until Android 14 – given the version of Android they were launched with. Admittedly, the Fan Edition version will opt for some compromises, especially in terms of the photo if we are to believe the rumors, but its software monitoring will be much more extensive.

Beautiful playing cards

the Galaxy S20 FE had been a great success when it was released, and was a great alternative thanks to its excellent value for money. It is roughly the same formula that Samsung is preparing for its S21 FE, but with an additional advantage which lies in the level of software experience.

This mobile device could also aspire to an additional year of security update – Samsung is planning four for its high-end phones – which is also an interesting point. In short, the Galaxy S21 FE probably has some great cards to play to establish itself as a little must-have at the start of 2022.
