A new smartphone model usually means there’s been an upgrade to the SoC and the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G gets the same Exynos 2100 SoC as seen in the flagship S21 series. It’s a powerful SoC that has performed well in past Samsung models, and does a good job running Android 12 on the Galaxy S21 FE 5G too. Some global variants of this phone sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 instead, which is what we were hoping to see in the Indian models. Once again, there are going to be some disappointed fans out there because of this decision. The Exynos 2100 supports a good number of 5G bands, for whenever that becomes relevant here in India, and also popular wireless standards such as Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, and NFC for Samsung Pay. This phone also features wireless Dex mode for sharing content to a larger screen and using it like a PC.
Camera Specification
The camera specs of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G are similar to those of its predecessor. There’s a 12-megapixel primary camera with optical stabilisation and an f/1.8 aperture; along with an 8-megapixel telephoto camera with 3X optical zoom, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 32-megapixel selfie camera on the front. The camera interface and shooting modes are similar to what we’ve seen on recent Samsung flagships. One thing worth noting is that there’s no macro mode, since there’s no dedicated macro camera and the ultra-wide camera lacks autofocus, so it can’t shoot extreme close-ups either.
What is Google Camera (Gcam)!
If you’re a mobile photography lover then you should know about the GCam app. But if you don’t know, then the Google Camera app offers plenty of useful features like Portrait mode, AR Stickers, Google Lens suggestion, PhotoSphere, Lens Blur, Night Sight, HDR+ enhanced, RAW image support, and more. All of these features can also be found on other stock camera apps but they can’t be so effective when it comes to the performance.
The Google Camera app simply delivers the best in the class image and video quality even in low lighting conditions. The portrait mode, saturation level, brightness level, exposure, dynamic range, background blur effect with nice edge detection, etc are properly maintained on the images taken from the GCam app. Form the very first use, you can start noticing the difference.
