On August 5, 2020, Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 20 series, which includes two premium smartphones-Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. These S Pen-supported devices are equipped with Exynos 990/ Snapdragon 865+ chipset, pre-installed Android 10/One UI 2.5, 90Hz/120Hz refresh rate screen, etc.
Later, the company released an affordable fan Edition variant of the Galaxy S20 series version, the Galaxy S20 FE. Compared with the parent model, S20 FE is equipped with the same hardware and upgraded software features. At the launch of this smartphone, the South Korean tech giant promised to launch Fan Edition versions of all its upcoming flagship products.
In November 2020, a “Galaxy Note 20 FE” with a 6.5-inch display was found on Samsung’s Brazilian website. However, this is a typographical error because the list has been found on the Galaxy S20 FE webpage. In addition, display analyst Ross Young also announced on Twitter last month that it may use Note 20 FE.
Samsung is expected to launch a Fan Edition (FE) variant of the Galaxy Note 20, which may be the last smartphone in the Galaxy Note series. At the same time, LetsGoDigital brought us the concept map of the upcoming Galaxy Note 21 FE. The high-quality rendering shows that the Galaxy Note 21 FE may be equipped with the same rear camera settings as the Galaxy S21 series.
The upcoming Galaxy Note 20 FE/Note 21 FE is expected to have a Full HD+ flat panel display similar to the Galaxy Note 20. The back panel of Note21 FE will be made of plastic, which is more durable than glass and has less fingerprint recognition.
As we all know, Samsung has never launched a Note smartphone without S Pen, so we can be sure that Galaxy Note 21 FE will also have S Pen support and a dedicated slot for storing the stylus.
In addition, it may be driven by 7nm Exynos 990 / Snapdragon 865. In the software department, the next Fan Edition will be equipped with One UI 3.1 or One UI 3.5 versions based on Android 11.
