As if we didn’t already know a ton of stuff about every device Samsung plans to formally unveil and fully detail later this week after profusely leaking a number of times over the past couple of months, several last-minute reports seemed to answer all of our remaining Galaxy Z Fold 3, Z Flip 3 5G, and Buds 2 questions.
Wait, what?
While the (not so) mysterious handset is covered below the waist, also keeping its front panel completely under wraps, that top section of its back cover looks eerily familiar and yet different at the same time.
That’s because the Galaxy S21 FE is widely expected to borrow the general aesthetic of its rear-facing camera setup from the “regular” S21 5G and the S21+ 5G while making a small but easily noticeable change.
Instead of creating a contrast between said camera module and the rest of the rear cover, the S21 FE will reportedly adopt a uniform look. In this particular case, we’re looking at an all-purple back, which differs from the “Phantom Violet” flavors of the aforementioned Galaxy S21 and S21+ combining violet with a more eye-catching gold camera housing.
Following in the footsteps of the Navy-coated S21 Ultra released just last month, this image could depict an upcoming new version of the S21 or S21+. But we highly doubt that will prove to be the case, as it simply seems far more likely that we’re looking at an all-new phone here.
