No Fan Edition for You!
We have mentioned Samsung’s FE (Fan Edition) smartphones as recently as 6/14 in reference to the initial FE, a refurbished version of the infamous and recalled Galaxy Note 7, and the more recent Galaxy S21 FE released last October, but it seems that while Samsung is expecting to release the next Galaxy S21 FE this coming October, it might not be available to all that would like it. We noted on the 14th that Samsung had halted production of the S21 FE and was considering allocating the phones application processor, the Qualcomm (QCOM) Snapdragon 888 to other products. Now it seems that Samsung is considering releasing the S21 FE but only in the US and Europe and excluding South Korea, Japan, and Australia as a possible alternative, with the lack of foundry capacity at the root of the problem, although there is still hope for you ‘secondary countries’ in that Samsung will decide some time before December whether it will release the S21 FE in countries other than the US and Europe, likely based on available capacity at Qualcomm and Samsung’s AP inventory levels after the initial release.
