As we march towards the end of 2020, the chatter for Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S21 lineup is getting louder. We have already heard rumors of an early January launch as opposed to the usual February release cycle this time around. Now, reputable tipster OnLeaks has not only corroborated and given weight to this rumor but also shared a first look at the two upcoming phones – Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Ultra.
First up, the next Samsung flagship lineup could either be the Galaxy S21 or Galaxy S30 series – depending on the Korean giant’s future plans, reveals OnLeaks. We are going to refer to it as the Galaxy S21 series for now.
OnLeaks did not share any deets about the Galaxy S21 Plus, which will most likely sit between the standard and Ultra variant. As for the highest-end Ultra variant though, you will most likely see a bigger camera module on the rear. It also flows in from the metal frame as the standard variant and houses a quad-camera setup. The LED flash will be baked into the module here.
Also, OnLeaks gives weight to yet another long-running rumor. The Galaxy S21 Ultra might be the first Galaxy S-series smartphone to have S-Pen support. Yeah, the device may not have a cavity to store the S-Pen but if you already own one, you will be able to use it with the S21 Ultra with ease.
As for what we will find under the hood, the Galaxy S21 series will be powered by the 5nm-based Snapdragon 875 chipset globally. It launches in early December. But, we expect the rumored Exynos 2100, which is currently said to beat the Snapdragon 875, in benchmarks to power the device in India. And if the rumors are true and the Exynos chipset is finally ready to match its Snapdragon counterpart, then Indian users might be in for a treat as compared to disappointment in the past.
