Samsung Galaxy S21: leaks on the new flagships

Normally Samsung presents its new flagships around the Mobile World Congress (MWC), which conveniently takes place in February. However, due to the ongoing corona pandemic, the congress has been moved to June 2021 for the time being.

But that doesn’t mean Samsung fans have to wait that long for the Samsung Galaxy S21 series to be released, quite the opposite!

Instead of launching the successor to the popular Galaxy S20 series in February as usual, insiders suspect that the South Korean manufacturer will be introducing the new Galaxy S21 models as early as early 2021.

Will the Samsung Galaxy S21 arrive in January 2021?

At least that’s what it claims the leaker Jon Prosser.

In a tweet he speculated that the Galaxy S21 series, consisting of the classic Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Plus and Galaxy S21 Ultra, was active. Presented January 14, 2021 Sara. About two weeks later, on January 29, the three smartphones will go on sale (Those).

So far, Prosser has been considered an absolute Apple specialist and less than a Samsung expert, which is why his prediction regarding the release of the Galaxy S21 has not been well received.

But with Max Weinbach, another leaker who is a familiar face in the Samsung scene, is joined by a true heavyweight alongside Prosser. Because Weinbach also assumes that the Samsung Galaxy S21 series will be unveiled on January 14 (Those).

What can we expect from the Samsung Galaxy S21?

The aforementioned Max Weinbach recently published an interesting article (source) providing information on the expected specifications of the S21 series.

This shows that the three models differ from each other, particularly with regards to the camera module and battery capacity. There is also minimal change in the screen size of the Ultra model.

120 Hertz for all Galaxy S21 devices

While the screen diagonal of the Galaxy S21 with 6.2 inches (15.75 cm) and the Galaxy 21 with 6.7 inches (about 17 cm) should remain the same, the display of the Galaxy S21-Ultra is said to shrink 6.9 6.8 inches (17.27 cm).

At the same time, the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus support Full HD +, while the Ultra model’s screen has better WQHD + quality.

It is also newthat for the first time the S21 should also be able to increase the frame rate to 120 Hertz. This was previously reserved for the Pro and Ultra models only.

Furthermore, all three models are said to be one new feature to unlock the display receive. With the new version of One UI 3.1 software, you have the option of using Bixby to unlock your Galaxy S21 screen with your voice.

What will change in the Galaxy S21 series camera setup?

If Weinbach is right with his article, it won’t change much in the usual good camera modules from Samsung’s flagships:

Then share the Galaxy S21 and the Galaxy S21 have an identical camera setup. Specifically, the two models have a 64-megapixel camera, a 12-megapixel ultra wide-angle camera and a 12-megapixel main camera on board.

The ultra version, however, should be equipped with a lush 108 megapixel lens, as we already know from the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G. For even better photo quality, the sensor should be magnified. We already know about this optimization from the transition from iPhone 11 Pro to iPhone 12 Pro.

Accompanied by two 10-megapixel cameras and the same main camera as the smaller models, the Galaxy S21 Ultra allows for 3x and 10x optical zoom.

More power for the Plus model

A look at the supposed battery capacity also shows that Samsung is building on the proven foundation of the S20 series. Only the much-criticized battery of the Plus model will be increased by 300 milliamps hour (mAh) by Samsung.

The battery capacity of the three models should be as follows:

• Samsung Galaxy S21: 4,000 mAh
• Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus: 4,800 mAh
• Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra: 5,000 mAh

Presumably, Samsung is expected to use the Galaxy S21 series when it ships Refrain from the usual addition of an additional charging cable and headphones – an innovation that caused quite a stir with the iPhone 12. You should purchase the accessories separately if you don’t have a suitable charging cable at home.

The reasons for this are relatively simple: On the one hand, this saves Samsung a large amount of production costs, on the other hand the Far Eastern manufacturer wants to save on electric and CO² bulkheads.

The end of the Note series?

While the innovations so far can’t really be called a Galaxy revolution in Samsung, the next feature could herald the end of an era.

The classic Galaxy Note series differs from the Galaxy S series mainly due to the differences in size and Note’s typical S-Pen.

It should probably end in the future. In particular, Samsung is playing with the idea of ​​equipping the Ultra version of the Galaxy S21 series with the S-Pen and then retiring the Note series.

However, the Galaxy S21 Ultra’s S-Pen should not, as usual, be stowed in a specially designed slot on the back of the model.

Furthermore, the S-Pen should not be part of the supply and should be purchased separately.

Conclusion: many similarities to the previous generation

Anyone who is friends with Samsung’s flagship models will certainly not make a mistake by purchasing a Samsung Galaxy S21 series mobile phone. To what extent a purchase is valid for everyonethose who bought a model of the Galaxy S20 series earlier this year remain to be seen in view of the previous leaks. We look forward to further information!
