No official date but practically everyone is betting that the next 14 January, Samsung, will present the new series Galaxy S 21 . The smartphones that, like every year, fight in the tough battle of the high-end mobile market seem to be more ready than ever and the South Korean company seems determined to anticipate the times and therefore to present all three models already at the beginning of January, with a month earlier than last year. Yes, there will be three Galaxy S models 21 that Samsung will reveal to the world and you are practically sure about this at 99%. Samsung Galaxy S 21, Galaxy S 21 + and the most powerful Galaxy S 21 Ultra who, as usual, will put his own at the photographic sector level to excel over the others.

Three models that will see an important design change this year. If in fact the company will previously opt for an appearance similar to that of last year with Galaxy S 20 , here is that later the photographic sector will change trying to avoid at most a so-called “ stamp ” effect but also aesthetically integrating the photographic sensors in the body of the smartphone. Samsung thought about it and did it by creating a structure where to place the sensors that follows the lines of the body in a more or less single piece. But what are the technical characteristics of these new smartphones?

Samsung Galaxy S 21, S 21 + and S 21 Ultra: what will they be like?

As mentioned the new Samsung Galaxy S 21 will be distinguishable in three different models: Galaxy S 21, Galaxy S 21 + and Galaxy S 21 Ultra. Their differences, as we shall see, will not so much concern their aesthetic appearance since leaving out the number of photographic sensors on the rear, they will have no diversification except for The dimensions. Three different models that will also have different colors and also finishing materials. In particular:

  • Galaxy S 21 will be presented with an aluminum body in the frame but polycarbonate back. It will have four different colors (although we do not know if they will all arrive in Italy) and will be Phantom Violet, Phantom Gray, Phantom White, Phantom Pink

  • Galaxy S 21 + will have, in addition to the aluminum frame, a back completely covered with glass and will have three different colors ( even if we do not know if they will all arrive in Italy) which will be Phantom Silver, Phantom Black, Phantom Violet
  • Galaxy S 21 Ultra will also be with an aluminum frame and glass back and will have a double color ie Phantom Silver, Phantom Black

Aesthetically Samsung Galaxy S 21 and S 21 + they should both have a flat display unlike Galaxy S 21 Ultra which will see it slightly curved on the sides but less than in past years. If in the front the news as mentioned there are not many since the edges are reduced and the Infinity-O screen with central camera in a hole is practically the same as what was already seen with the last Galaxy S 20, it is on the back that we find a design never seen before. Here the cameras are highlighted by a module in contrast with the body , perhaps even more evident with some colors than it is with others.

The real top of the range that is the Galaxy S 21 Ultra , shown in the version Phantom Silver is instead characterized by a powerful and large photographic sector. In this case the rear module expands in size due to the presence of numerous modules and becomes a little more bulky. The module protrudes from the body even if it tries to become one with the frame of the smartphone. Here, however, there is also the sensor from 108 MP and a periscopic camera for distant shots.

But what do we know in terms of technical specifications?

The technical characteristics need to be clarified. In this case, in fact, we must start from the two less important versions, namely Galaxy S 21 and S 21 + because both will have a Full HD + display with refresh rate at 120 Hz but not adaptive. Dimensionally they will be 6.2 “the Galaxy S 18 and 6.7 “the Galaxy S 21 +. Then there is the Galaxy S 21 Ultra that detaches the others with a display LTPO WQHD + from 6.8 “ with adaptive refresh up to 120 Hz and even a peak brightness of up to 1600 nits with contrast of 3. 00 0 . 00 0: 1. In this case the support for the S Pen will be present for the first time even if this will not find space in the body and will be sold separately.

At the processor level, the new smartphones of the South Korean company will always see two different alternatives: the Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 2100 , both with support for 5G networks. Galaxy S only 21 Ultra will be compatible with WiFi 6E. Clearly for Italy there will be the version with Exynos and this could still be a negative point compared to those who would rather have the best with the Snapdragon. We will see if the Exynos version 2100 has improved.

Samsung Galaxy S 21 and S 21 + will have a photographic compartment consisting of three rear cameras: 12 MP for the main sensor, 64 MP for telephoto and 12 MP for ultra wide angle . We find the news on the Galaxy S version 21 Ultra with a main sensor from 108 2nd generation MP then an ultra wide angle sensor from 12 MP and two telephoto lenses: one that will allow 3x optical zoom and one for zooms 10 x optical. There will be news from this point of view with telephoto sensors with pixels wider than 130% and dual pixel AF technology for both. On Ultra there will also be the laser for autofocus. Finally on all a front camera for selfies from 40 MP .

As for the battery there will not be many news: 4. 00 0mAh on Galaxy S 21, 4. 800 mAh on Galaxy S 21 + and 5. 00 0mAh on Galaxy S version 21 Ultra, all with recharge at least from 25 W. Clearly there will be the presence of Android 11 already pre-installed with One UI 3.1 custom interface version.

Samsung Galaxy S 21 Series: prices and availability

Up to now nobody had said nothing. In this case, however, a tip arrives from Galaxy Club , a usually reliable Dutch source who decides to bring indiscretion precisely on the official European prices of the three top of the Samsung range. So here are the rumors:

  • Samsung Galaxy S 21 5G 128 GB: 879 ?? Italy price possible 929 ??
  • Samsung Galaxy S 21 + 5G 128 GB: 1. 079 ?? Italy price possible 1. 129 ??
  • Samsung Galaxy S 21 Ultra 5G 128 GB: 1. 399 ?? Price in Italy possible 1. 449 ??

Prices in Italy therefore they will change compared to Europe and we will therefore have to consider paying something more c as always compared to other countries. In fact, the prices could be in line with those of last year but it is possible that the company, given the presence of all models with 5G support, could raise the price bar. For availability instead we speak of the end of January 2021, however, earlier than in the past.
