The Samsung Milky way S21 Atomic number 26 may be coming sooner rather than later on, after Samsung accidentally leaked what looks to exist an official shot of the rumored phone.

Samsung posted a back to schoolhouse promo epitome on its official Instagram account, featuring a number of Samsung products: a laptop of some kind, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, and a phone. And based on the photo, there'southward reason to suspect the telephone could be the Galaxy S21 Fe.

The phone in question looks remarkably similar to the standard Samsung Galaxy S21 from backside, which is what we'd expect. However, it appears to be lilac — which wasn't an option with the original three Milky way S21 phones.

Majestic Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus phones were available, though information technology was a totally unlike shade and both phones had a metallic camera module — something this telephone lacks.

Nor is information technology an older phone, such as the Galaxy S20 Iron, since the camera module'southward design is identical to that of the Galaxy S21. Plus, the fact Samsung deleted the post is a clear indicator that information technology featured something that shouldn't have been posted.

The photo doesn't reveal anything more most the phone, though the back to schoolhouse context suggests that any it is, it may exist with u.s. reasonably shortly. The rumor manufacturing plant hasn't been very helpful in telling us when Galaxy S21 FE might arrive, though a fall launch seems probable given the Galaxy S20 FE release schedule last year.

In that location's also a slim chance we may see the phone at Milky way Unpacked tomorrow (Baronial xi), but it doesn't seem likely; Samsung has already confirmed that foldables will exist the focus of that particular event, though we are also expecting the Milky way Watch iv and Galaxy Buds 2 to make an advent alongside the rumored Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Samsung Milky way Z Flip 3.

If the phone is the Milky way S21 Iron, it wouldn't be the first fourth dimension Samsung has accidentally leaked its ain products recently. Indeed, a seemingly official video of the Milky way Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 appeared on the Samsung Malaysia Twitter account yesterday, and was later posted to both Reddit and YouTube.
