Samsung will unveil a new variant of Galaxy S21 FE 5G in India in July. The South Korean smartphone brand on Monday confirmed the relaunch of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Fan Edition in the country. The new variant will come equipped with a 5nm Snapdragon 888 SoC. The Galaxy S21 FE 5G was initially launched early last year in India with an Exynos 2100 SoC under the hood. The new model will feature Adreno 660 GPU and is confirmed to pack 256GB of onboard storage. However, Samsung has not revealed the exact launch date.

Through a press release, Samsung announced the arrival of the new Snapdragon 888 SoC-powered Galaxy S21 FE 5G in India in July. The company, however, didn't mention the exact launch date. It is confirmed to pack an Adreno 660 GPU and 256GB of onboard storage. This would be an upgrade over the base 128GB storage capacity offered by the ongoing Exynos 2100 SoC-powered Galaxy S21 FE.

The brand has created a dedicated landing page on its website to tease the launch of the new Galaxy S21 FE 5G variant. It is shown with a 'coming soon' tag. Interested users can register their contact details with Samsung to get the latest updates about the launch and availability of the new handset.
