Leaked Galaxy S21 FE backplate shows a familiar design, with one exception

The phone's back panel will supposedly look like that of the Galaxy S21 and S21+ sans a metallic finish.

What you need to know

  • The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE's supposed backplate has leaked online.
  • The new leak reveals three cutouts for the rear camera, resembling that of the Galaxy S21 and S21+.
  • We may also have our first look at the actual colors of the phone's various models.

Samsung's upcoming "flagship killer" is presumably two months away from its launch, if a recent report is to be believed. As the company inches closer to unveiling the Galaxy S21 FE, more leaks are to be expected, with the latest one being the phone's backplate.

Courtesy of prolific leaker Roland Quandt, the supposed backplate of the Galaxy S21 FE reveals a design that resembles the back panels of the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+. This means a triple camera setup on the back, as indicated by the three cutouts, though this information is nothing new. Another cutout sitting outside the camera island is likely for the LED flash.

The pre-assembly backplates mark the first time that we see real-world images of what the phone's back panel looks like, and as you might expect, it's missing a metallic finish. This is not at all surprising, seeing as the previous Fan Edition device from Samsung had a plastic back as well. All of this is done to cut costs and lower the price of the phone in order to undercut many of the best Android phones.

Nonetheless, the Galaxy S21 FE is expected to retain the majority of the original model's hardware components and flagship features, such as the chipset, display, and water resistance rating. On the software front, the phone is expected to come pre-installed with One UI 4.0.

Finally, the leak spills the bean on what colorways the device will ship in: gray, olive green, purple and white. Samsung is expected to finally unveil the Galaxy S21 FE at CES 2022, so we won't have to wait much longer.

Apple Says 128GB iPhone 15 Pro Limited to 1080p ProRes Video Recording Unless External Storage Connected

ProRes video recording remains limited to 1080p quality at 30 frames per second on the 128GB model of the iPhone 15 Pro, unless the device is recording directly to a connected external storage drive , according to Apple. On the 256GB and higher iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, ProRes video recording is supported in up to 4K quality at 60 frames per second to both internal storage and external storage. Apple does not mention this information on the iPhone 15 Pro's tech specs page on its website, but the limitation is listed when comparing the iPhone 15 Pro to another iPhone model in the Apple Store app, as seen in the screenshot below. The same limitation applied to iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro models with 128GB of storage, but those devices cannot record ProRes video to external storage, so at least iPhone 15 Pro users have that option this time around. The limitation does not apply to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, as that model starts with 256GB of storage. ProRes video fi
