It’s been a busy week for those trying to keep tabs on the various leaks and rumors around theSamsung Galaxy S21 FE, and we’ve got some more imagery to share with you: pictures of the handset in a variety of official cases posted to a retail website ahead of time.
These images appeared onBoxin the UK (viaGSMArena), and we get a look at the phone in the Clear View Cover, the Silicone Cover, and the Clear Standing Cover cases – the usual selection of cases thatSamsungputs out alongside its premium smartphones.
The pictures posted to Box don’t really tell us anything new, but we once again get a look at the design of the Galaxy S21 FE, with its punch hole selfie camera at the top of the screen in the center, and a triple-lens rear camera array on the back.
Leaks, leaks and more leaks
Most smartphone launches are preceded by a bunch of leaks and rumors these days, but we can’t remember a recent handset that we have known quite so much about in advance as the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE. Perhaps that’s partly down to itsdelayed launch.
Only yesterdaywe learnedthat pricing for the phone is likely to match theGalaxy S20 FEthat it’s replacing – so in the region of $699 / £699 / AU$1,149. Also on the pricing front,we’ve heardthat the Galaxy S21 FE will be retailing for €649 in European territories.
Numerousleaked imagesof the phone have also appeared in recent months, while we’ve also heard plenty about thepotential specsof this device – which most probably aren’t going to vary too much from what we’ve seen with theSamsung Galaxy S21series.
Analysis: what to expect from Samsung in 2022
It isn’t official yet, but the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is widely expected to be making its debut at the start of January 2022, as part of theCES 2022tech showcase schedule. Once that launch is out of the way, Samsung has plenty more phones coming next year too.

Not long after the arrival of the Galaxy S21 FE we should be getting theSamsung Galaxy S22line-up of handsets, which are due to break cover in February. The phones aren’t thought to be hugely different from their S21 predecessors, but we should get the usual annual bumps in terms of performance and camera capabilities.
One phone to look out for in particular is the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which may even get a Note monikeradded to its name. It is in effect replacing the Galaxy Note series, it looks like, with a design that’s distinctly different from the S22 and the S22 Plus, superior cameras, and support for the Samsung S Pen stylus.
Around August time we should get a refresh of Samsung’s foldable phones, with theGalaxy Z Fold 4and theGalaxy Z Flip 4rumored to be on the way. Add in Samsung’s usual batch of mid-range and budget phones, and it’s going to be a busy year.
