He exposes the reason for the suspension in a referenced tweet, which has to do with the battery, processor, and increased costs. If you’re perplexed, don’t be, since Ice Universe, a Chinese leaker, clarifies the scenario.

The leaker, whom is well-versed in Samsung-related news, not only confirms that the Galaxy S21 FE has been halted, but also clarifies that the battery issue is not due to a lack of supply, but rather to the fact that available components do not fit the Galaxy S21 FE’s new standard.
