Earlier this month, it was reported that Samsung might be done with its Galaxy FE series of smartphones. Now according to a tweet by well-known leakster Yogesh Brar, he has corroborated the earlier report by tweeting that he has not heard anything about the development of the Galaxy S22 FE.
Not seeing any active development on the Samsung Galaxy S22 FE. Safe to say, we won't be seeing one this year.
Don't know why there were rumours about it being powered by Dimensity 9000.

Launching it this year would put it in conflict with the Galaxy S21 FE and make a lot of customers upset, so maybe the FE series isn’t dead yet, but might be pushed to 2023. We did hear a rumor earlier this year that the Galaxy S22 FE might run on a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset, but Brar seems to have dismissed those claims.
It would be a shame if Samsung were to kill off the FE series. The phones, for the most part, represented decent value for money as they packed pretty good hardware albeit at a lower price. Hopefully Samsung hasn’t killed it off yet, but as usual, we’ll have to wait for the company to officially make a definitive statement before coming to any kind of conclusion.
