Conclusion

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has the potential to be another great device like the S20 FE, hitting the sweet spot between price and features.

It offers a slightly downgraded camera system compared to the S21 and S21+, and doesn't quite have the same variable refresh rate capabilities.

However, it's cheaper than the Galaxy S21 and offers many of the same features, so it's certainly worth considering. Note, however, that the Galaxy S22 range is expected to launch soon. So it might be worth holding the fire a little longer just to see what these devices bring.
