Samsung Galaxy S21 FE leaked price has us worried

Update: A new alleged leak has tipped all the Samsung Galaxy S21 Iron, colors, its price and specs .

After an extremely troubled lead in, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is finally expected to go along sale in January — albeit only in Europe. That may disappoint American readers, but if this new pricing leak is correct and so you tin panel yourself with the fact that you're really not missing out on too much.

As spotted by MySmartPrice, the retailer LambdaTek lists European prices of €877 (~$994) for the model with 128GB storage, or £737 (~$989) in the U.K. list. This goes up to €940 (~$1,065) or £790.xx (~$1,060) for the 256GB model. Like prices were also listed on Samsung'southward Irish website.

At that place are reasons to take this with a huge pinch of table salt — not least of which is the fact that the price has gone downwardly since MySmartPrice's original publication which suggests the figures may non be set in rock (the original article lists prices of €920/€985 and £776/£831).  It's also worth noting that taxes in the U.K. and Europe mean a straight currency conversion doesn't tend to requite accurate pricing.

Nor are these prices very Samsung sounding MSRPs. In the U.K., the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE launched at a much rounder £599 (~$804) or £699 (~$938) for the 5G version. And on that note the massive price inflation from the $699 S20 FE 5G can't accept escaped your attention either — even taking into account the inclusion of European sales taxation. To sum upward in i word: "Hmmm."

But if you do take these figures at confront value, it'southward difficult to imagine the Samsung Galaxy S21 Iron beingness anything other than a sales flop.

Although branded equally the "Fan Edition", the Fe line is a slightly inferior version of the original product, available at a much more highly-seasoned cost: that's the deal Samsung buyers expect. The aforementioned is expected fore the Galaxy S21 FE, in that it volition use the same pattern as it's flagship sibling but likely sports a plastic construction and have less onboard storage or RAM.

With the S21 Atomic number 26 now expected but a month ahead of the Samsung Galaxy S22, the original Galaxy S21 will have depreciated in value quite a bit. 2 months ahead of fourth dimension, y'all tin already buy an Amazon Renewed model for £535.fifty, and that price is just going to go lower as the Galaxy S22 looms larger. The idea that anybody would pay over £200 more for the Galaxy S21 Fe just earlier the S22 arrives seems absurd to me.

So accept this price listing with an enormous shaker of salt. And if you lot are reading this in America, remember that there are enough of excellent Samsung Milky way S21 Fe alternatives for those that want large performance on a smaller budget.
