Unexpectedly: Samsung canceled the Galaxy S21 FE smartphone at the last moment. Chip shortage or battery problem?

In August, Samsung was supposed to introduce the Galaxy S21 FE smartphone - a simpler and, accordingly,

an affordable version of the Galaxy S21 flagships. However, now it seems that the new product is not worth waiting for.

What happened?

South Korea's Electronic Times reports:that Samsung suddenly stopped production of gadgets. According to sources, this is due to a shortage of Qualcomm processors, and this problem may not be resolved soon.

At the same time, the Ice Universe insider has different information. According to him, the release of the smartphone was canceled not because of a shortage of chips, but because of problems with the battery.

“As far as I know, the sudden cancellation of S21FE is not related to the microcircuits, but to the fact that some other part cannot be powered normally, most likely the battery. It's not that the battery is in short supply, but that the parts required for the new FE technology are not up to standard, and that part may be related to the battery. This does not affect other models,” the insider wrote.

In any case, it's a shame because the Galaxy S20 FE model was very popular.
