The Galaxy S21 FE on T-Mobile supports Ultra Capacity 5G and Extended Range 5G frequencies
T-Mobile said in a release (via Phone Arena) that both phones will support the carrier’s Ultra Capacity 5G and Extended Range 5G frequencies. The Galaxy S21 FE 5G is a rehashed version of last year’s Galaxy S21. As we all know already, the phone was supposed to launch sometime in the middle of 2021. However, there was an industry-wide scarcity of semiconductors, leading to the postponement of multiple devices. But the phone is finally here, and we have the full picture. The newest Samsung smartphone brings a 6.4-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with a 120Hz display refresh rate. Additionally, the Galaxy S21 FE 5G offers three rear cameras comprising a 12-megapixel primary sensor, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera, and an 8-megapixel telephoto sensor. There’s a 32-megapixel hole-punch selfie camera on the front panel. Customers will also find the octa-core Snapdragon 888 chipset backed by 6 or 8GB of RAM. Users have the option between 128GB and 256GB of internal storage. Unfortunately, Samsung doesn’t offer a microSD card slot with the Galaxy S21 FE. Lastly, a 4,500mAh battery keeps the device ticking, complemented by 25W fast wired charging. The device also supports 15W fast charging and reverse wireless charging.
