Samsung is expected to launch its Galaxy S21 FE smartphone in January at the CES 2022 event. Now, 91mobiles has claimed that the handset will arrive in India as well.

Why does it matter?
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has been grabbing headlines for sometime now. Earlier, there were reports that the handset was canceled and then some reports claimed that it will have limited release in the European markets. However, the S21 FE's arrival in India is an important development given it will have to rival against several new flagship smartphones to attract buyers in our price-sensitive market.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will feature a center-aligned punch-hole design with slim bezels, an aluminium frame, an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, and an in-display fingerprint sensor. The handset will bear a 6.4-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2400 pixels) AMOLED screen with a 20:9 aspect ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and 1,200-nits of peak brightness.
It will sport a 64MP main camera
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is said to have a triple rear camera setup comprising a 64MP primary snapper, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies and video calling, it may have a 32MP front-facing camera.
It will boot One UI 3.1 based on Android 11
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will draw power from a Snapdragon 888/Exynos 2100 processor, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage.
