BREAKING: Galaxy S21 FE’s future in threat as Samsung reportedly suspended production
Samsung is going to launch its next generation of folding screen smartphones in near future. However, the chip shortage already killed the Galaxy Note series, and later became the reason behind the suspension of the expansion of the recently launched Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 to more countries.
Now, it looks like the future of the company’s next Fan Edition smartphone is under threat as Korean media reported that the production of this upcoming device has been stopped with immediate effect. According to the info, Samsung suspended the production of the Galaxy S21 FE due to an AP (chip) shortage.
Adding to this, ETNews reported that Samsung has also notified the Galaxy S21 FE’s production partners about the suspension of the production and cancellation of orders for sub-materials. At the same time, they also asked to identify inventory in circulation or in production (WIP).

It looks like the Korean tech giant has allocated Qualcomm chips to its upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, and suspended the Galaxy S21 FE model because there are not enough semiconductors. Following the rumors, Samsung insider Ice Universe also confirmed the production suspension of the S21 FE.
However, IceUniverse said that the reason behind the suspension of the Galaxy S21 FE is not the chip shortage, but because of the supply imbalance of battery-related parts. At the same time, it is reported that it will not affect other upcoming models such as Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3.

Samsung allegedly developing Tri-Fold phone, launch expected in 2025
Samsung may launch its first tri-fold smartphone in 2025. Following the launch of Huawei Mate XT, industry sources and Korean media outlets reported that Honor will also be entering the tri-fold device market.
Recently, Korean leaker yeux1122 claimed that Samsung is developing the Galaxy Z Fold with a tri-fold screen, which is likely to release the device as early as 2025.
Unlike the Mate XT, Samsung’s tri-fold could use a dual inward-folding hinge. The different design approach will allow for an independent external screen.
This redesign will enhance the phone’s usability and multitasking capabilities. Notably, foldable displays generally work as both the main and cover screen.
This year, Samsung’s phone lineup has been relatively subdued. The company acknowledged that changes to its product lineup are gradual, but it has promised significant changes next year.
Other reports have made similar claims, stating that a three-screen Galaxy Fold is in development, suggesting Samsung is taking its foldable technology in a new direction.
The development of folding panels is advancing rapidly, with more vendors entering the competition. It seems Samsung may be preparing for a big leap forward in the foldable market.
Apart from this, the source pointed out that a Special Edition of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is in development, and it is expected to launch alongside the standard Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Many significant upgrades from Samsung are anticipated in 2025, as it is also mentioned that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE will be released together with the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
