Samsung Galaxy S21 FE versus Galaxy S21 Ultra: camera comparison
The new Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is gaining a lot of attention, despite the fact that the phone made its debut roughly 6 months later than it was originally expected. The $700 price tag makes it the cheapest Galaxy S21 device in Samsung’s lineup, but it still sports a Snapdragon 888 chipset, a 120Hz display, and quite a few other bells and whistles we typically expect from Samsung’s flagship-tie devices.
