Expected Variants and Specifications
We are expecting to see three versions of the new Samsung flagship which will include a Galaxy S21, S21 Plus, and an S21 Ultra. The handsets will come with either a new Snapdragon 875 or a new Samsung Exynos processor depending on the region. The Snapdragon 875 is anticipated to offer significant performance improvements over its predecessor, the Snapdragon 865, with enhanced AI capabilities and better power efficiency. Meanwhile, the Exynos variant is expected to feature the Exynos 2100, which promises similar performance enhancements.
The Galaxy S21 series is also rumored to feature improved camera systems. The S21 and S21 Plus are expected to come with a triple-camera setup, including a primary wide-angle lens, an ultra-wide lens, and a telephoto lens. The S21 Ultra, on the other hand, is speculated to boast a quad-camera system with an additional periscope lens for superior zoom capabilities. Additionally, the S21 Ultra may support 108MP primary sensor, offering exceptional photo and video quality.
Design and Display
In terms of design, the Galaxy S21 series is expected to feature a sleek and modern look with a punch-hole front camera and minimal bezels. The S21 and S21 Plus are likely to have flat displays, while the S21 Ultra may come with a curved display for a more immersive viewing experience. The display sizes are rumored to be 6.2 inches for the S21, 6.7 inches for the S21 Plus, and a massive 6.8 inches for the S21 Ultra. All models are expected to support a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth scrolling and gaming experiences.
The Galaxy S21 series will also come in a variety of colors, including Black, White, Grey, Silver, Violet, and Pink, giving consumers plenty of options to choose from. The build quality is expected to be premium, with the S21 and S21 Plus featuring a plastic back, while the S21 Ultra may come with a glass back for a more luxurious feel.
Software and Features
On the software front, the Galaxy S21 series will likely run on Samsung’s One UI 3.1 based on Android 11, offering a host of new features and improvements. One UI 3.1 is expected to bring enhancements in user interface design, improved privacy controls, and better integration with Samsung’s ecosystem of devices and services.
Other notable features of the Galaxy S21 series may include 5G connectivity, improved battery life, and faster charging capabilities. The S21 Ultra is also rumored to support the S Pen, a feature traditionally reserved for the Galaxy Note series, making it an attractive option for productivity enthusiasts.
The Galaxy S21 series is shaping up to be an impressive lineup of smartphones with cutting-edge technology and features. With the official announcement just around the corner, fans of Samsung’s flagship devices have a lot to look forward to.
