This awesome deal proves that the Galaxy S21 FE was a $600 phone all along
We’re going to come out and say it: Samsung should have done this from the start. The Galaxy S21 FE never should have sold for $700 with a$100 gift cardor some discounted earbuds. This is what it needed to do.

The pricing was what killed our mood in the first place, though. Likethe S20 FE, the S21 FE was offered up at a full retail price of $700. The predecessor, however, launched with a $100 no-nonsense discount right out of the gate at a time when its competition (including Samsung’s own S20) couldn’t really provide a match.
Amazon is now doing the phone maker a very kind favor by taking on a discount of $100 on its own. The 128GB version is now $600 while the 256GB is $670. That gives the new FE equal footing or better with thePixel 6and is a marked departure from the S21’s $800 MSRP.
You can opt to pay $700 anyways and get a $100 Amazon gift card with your phone, but we’re just saying — like it or not — that these recent FEs are definitely not $700.
