When we reviewed the Galaxy S21 FE last month, we praised it for the quality of its display, cameras, battery life, and performance, but noted that its price of $700 launch was asking way too much for what it offered. But take those same specs and offer them for just $500? It’s a genuine steal and not overdone, especially in the month following its release.
Right now, Best Buy is offering the Galaxy S21 FE for $200 off if you activate the phone today. It’s $500 for the 128GB model or $570 for the 256GB model. It’s available in Graphite, Navy, Olive, Lavender, and White, unlocked or with Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile.
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE | $200 off
The S21 FE is, essentially, an S21 in everything but name, offering the same performance and cameras but with Android 12 and an extra year of out-of-the-box software support. At $500, it’s worth seriously considering the Galaxy S22 launching this month for nearly a grand.

$570 at Best Buy (256GB)
For $500 you get a 6.4-inch, 2340 x 1080 resolution display with 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz input refresh rate, Snapdragon 888 chipset, 6GB of RAM, a 4500 mAh battery, IP68 water resistance and a ready-to-use 4 user interface. With scheduled One UI 7 updates and security updates through January 2026, you will get a lot out of this phone.
Of course, Samsung is likely executing this deal to eliminate inventory before the Galaxy S22 arrives. But all rumors point to the new S22 being $800 or $900, which means you’ll save up to $400 for a phone that gets the same amount of software support and still has 2021 flagship-grade specs. .
