Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE still maintains a similar design language to its predecessor, the Galaxy S20 FE, with its squared-off edges, curved corners, edge-to-edge display, and ultra-slim bezels. However, on the back, the main camera cluster of the Galaxy S21 FE has been placed flush with the device and blends seamlessly with the back, whereas on the Galaxy S20 FE, it protrudes from the edge and stands out from the back. You can clearly see this difference in the comparison images below.


In addition to the difference in the rear camera cluster, the SIM tray on the Galaxy S21 FE is also positioned alongside the device's charging port at the bottom instead of being placed on the top of the device like its predecessor. You can see this in the comparison image below:
