Earlier this year, Samsung Galaxy S21 FE started surfacing online hinting at a launch event in October. Moreover, several reports and rumours leaked new details and the launch date multiple times. However, the launch date always did not come true. It looks that this launch date is also looking bleak. Recently, DDaily, a South Korean publication today revealed that the company has cancelled the S21 FE. Although there was not much in terms of concrete evidence.
Now, it looks like that the slight chance of it only being delayed is also bleaker than ever. A new piece of information suggests that Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is cancelled and not delayed. Apparently, Samsung has deleted the support pages of the S21 FE from its official website.

Earlier this month, a South Korean publication DDaily hinted Samsung has cancelled the Galaxy Unpacked October 2021 event. This is the event where the company was apparently planning to announce the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE. But due to higher than expected sales of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and the semiconductor chip shortage, the South Korean firm has reportedly cancelled the launch of the Galaxy S21 FE. The company reportedly wants to focus on the Galaxy Z Flip 3.
To recall, Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Flip 3 in August 2021 with aggressive pricing of $999. It not only comes with updated specs but also an improved design. It is powering on the same Snapdragon 888 SoC. The same many hoped to see on the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE. It appears that the company is internally discussing that it would be ideal to focus on the parts and production of the Z Flip 3.
