Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has not launched yet, even though leaks have been in abundance. The predecessor Samsung Galaxy S20 FE was unveiled in September, and the Galaxy S21 FE is presumably delayed due to chip shortages and supply constraints worldwide. A new leak reveals a possible new launch date for the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE and even the Samsung Galaxy S22 series. The latter, the flagship Galaxy S series from Samsung, is likely to include multiple models just like every year.

Prolific tipster Jon Prosser has tipped that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE may launch on January 4 next year with no pre-order timeline. The phone will likely go on sale from January 11 onwards. Next year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES), where generally new products are announced, will begin in Las Vegas on January 5. Samsung will presumably unveil the Galaxy S21 FE in pre-event media keynotes. Of course, this is pure speculation and Samsung has made no official announcement yet.

The tipster additionally reports that the Samsung Galaxy S22 series will be unveiled on February 8 next year at 10am ET (8.30pm IST). Pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup will likely begin the same day and sales may commence from February 18.

Prior to this, Prosser leaked hands-on images of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra model. As per the leaked images, Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra appears to have a hole-punch display with curved edges. The images also suggest that Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra could include a dedicated space for an S Pen. On the back, the Galaxy S22 Ultra seems to have a quad rear camera setup, along with an LED flash module.
