At the beginning of the Black Friday week, the Galaxy S21 FE was available for purchase in Samsung’s online shop for 399 euros. The offer has now expired. It is quite possible that Samsung will reissue it again.
The retailer has started a countdown in its online shop. Accordingly, new offers will start on November 24th at 7 p.m. Until then, these are the best deals if you want to buy the Galaxy S21 FE right now.

The offer on eBay is sold out, the next best price there would be 499 euros. This is not a good offer, the mobile phone is at least 10 euros cheaper at Coolblue. Here, too, the cell phone will soon be sold out, only the black and olive green versions are available.
You can get the best option with a contract in the Media Markt tariff world. In combination with O2 you get the Galaxy S21 FE for a one-off fee of 1 euro, the tariff itself costs you 24 euros a month. With the Vodafone tariff you pay 5 euros, with all other tariffs the mobile phone costs 49 euros.
Is it worth buying?
The Galaxy S21 FE is advertised by Samsung as a “cheap alternative” to the other models in the Galaxy S series. At the market launch in January, however, it still cost 749 euros. In the meantime, the prices for direct purchases are still between 450 and 500 euros. So the cell phone is not a “cheap Lite model”. However, we found the price at the market launch to be too high based on the equipment. At the current asking price, however, the cell phone is worth a look.
Where is the love for the fans?
With the Galaxy S21 FE, Samsung is delivering a cell phone as a fan edition that not even the fans will be happy about. The performance lags behind the other models in the family and at the latest with the presentation of the Galaxy S22 the question arises as to who should buy it. Neither the equipment nor the price speak for it. If it has to be an S21, however, there’s a compelling argument against the S21 FE: the base model is better equipped and costs nearly the same.
- materials and feel
- format
- Short battery life
- comparatively small memory
- Memory not expandable
The Galaxy S21 FE scores particularly well in the test with the built-in Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm, while the regular S21 uses an Exynos chip from Samsung. Insiders often prefer the former because they are supposed to be a little faster. We also liked the format, but the battery life could be better.
From our point of view, the purchase is particularly worthwhile for users who have high demands on a smartphone, but do not want to go directly to a top model from 800 euros upwards.
