Korean publication <em>ETNews<\/em> alleged over the weekend that production of the unannounced phone had stopped because of a shortage of semiconductors, and that Qualcomm processors had been reallocated to foldable devices. <\/p>\n<p id=\"PyY0S7\">The report has since been deleted, and Samsung now says it hasn\u2019t made a decision on whether to halt production. In a statement texted to Bloomberg, the company says \u201cWhile we cannot discuss details of the unreleased product, nothing has been determined regarding the alleged production suspension.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-read-more__intro\">\n    Related\n  <\/p>\n<h4>Samsung Galaxy S20 FE review: the right price for the right stuff<\/h4>\n<\/aside>\n<p id=\"d5ZIZ1\">The Galaxy S21 FE \u2014 the FE stands for Fan Edition \u2014 was expected to be a cut-down, more affordable version of the regular S21. Last year Dieter Bohn gave the Galaxy S20 FE a positive review, noting that it had \u201ca few high-quality components that will delight while the cheaper parts don\u2019t hurt the experience too much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"H9oMx4\">The S21 FE hadn\u2019t been formally announced, but Samsung did say at an event last year that it planned to release Fan Editions of flagship phones going forward. OnLeaks posted alleged renders of the S21 FE back in April, showing a similar design to the well-received Galaxy S21.<\/p>\n<p id=\"XzWE9d\">While it\u2019s noteworthy that Samsung didn\u2019t deny <em>ETNews<\/em>\u2019 report outright, it may take some time before the truth emerges. The S20 FE wasn\u2019t announced until September last year and got a release in October, so even if Samsung is experiencing supply chain issues with its successor right now, a launch wasn\u2019t necessarily imminent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung has downplayed a report that claimed the company has suspended production of an&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1616,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7],"tags":[59,38,57,61,58,60],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1615"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1615"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1615\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1929,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1615\/revisions\/1929"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
