Samsung has been releasing the Fan Edition or “FE” variant of its Galaxy S series for two years and we were hoping the same with the launch of the Galaxy S22 FE this year. However, a new report now suggests that this may not be the case as Samsung is planning to drop its launch plans.
A report by The Elec suggests that Samsung won’t launch the Galaxy S22 FE in favor of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The reason why the company wants to focus on its higher-end S22 Ultra is the ongoing chip shortage issue. To recall, a similar piece of information appeared back in June. Although, the reason was different!
However, this doesn’t mean that Samsung is fully scrapping off the Galaxy FE phones. It is still believed to launch the Galaxy S23 FE next year and for this, 3 million units are expected to be manufactured. As for the other Galaxy S23 models, the company is expected to produce 8.5 million units for the Galaxy S23, 6.5 million units for the Galaxy S23+, and 13 million units for the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
