Sad Pikachu: No new Note or S21 Fan Edition is coming at Unpacked

August 11's Galaxy Unpacked launch is going to be all about Samsung's new foldables

The Galaxy S21 FE, on the other hand, is said to still be on track for a release sometime this year. But will it be unveiled at next month's Galaxy Unpacked event? The answer to that question, according to rumors and our own sources, has been a firm no, and that's being reiterated today in a report by the folks over at LetsGoDigital, who claim to have seen Samsung documentation “stating that the Galaxy S21 FE will not be introduced during the Galaxy Unpacked event.”

This is just another reminder that anyone expecting to see the sequel to last year's massively popular Galaxy S20 FE at next month's Unpacked is going to be sorely disappointed. October is when the Galaxy S21 FE is expected to go official, though with the ongoing global chip shortage, it's possible Samsung will further delay what should be its next ‘flagship-killer' handset. Hopefully, we will find out more about the company's plans for the Galaxy S21 FE in the coming weeks.

Whenever the Galaxy S21 FE does arrive, it's expected to offer most Galaxy S21 series features at a more attractive price. It may even surpass the original three Galaxy S21 models in some ways, like having faster charging speeds and possibly microSD expansion. It will likely miss out on some features as well, and we made predictions on what those might be that you might want to check out.
