Here is a detailed overview of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G based on the hands-on review:
Design and Build Quality
Body and Finish: The Galaxy S21 FE features a plastic back with a soft, matte pastel finish, similar to Samsung's Galaxy A-series [00:33]. It comes with an IP68 ratin
g for dust and water resistance [00:39].
Camera Island: It retains the wrap-unlike shape of the standard S21 camera bump, but the module is integrated directly into the back panel rather than blending into the metal frame [00:46].
Dimensions: Despite housing a larger battery, it i
s both lighter and thinner than the previous model, matching the thickness of the standard S21 [00:58].
Display

Hardware and Performance
Chipsets: Depending on the region, it runs on either a Snapdragon or an Exynos chipset [01:36]. Notably
, the Snapdragon 888 version has wider availability, including in Europe, while certain markets still receive the Exynos 2100 [01:41].

includes a charger in the box [01:03].
Software
Interface: It ships with Samsung's One UI 4 based on Android 12, offering enhanced widget support and options alongside a dedicated security and privacy dashboard [01:53].
