In the first big consumer tech surprise of 2021, Samsung Mobile has gotten a drop on its smartphone rivals by announcing the Galaxy S21 5G series in mid-January, two months ahead of its traditional March showcase.
Samsung’s new flagship series comprises the Galaxy S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra. All 5G devices share a new industrial design that features a new Contour Cut Camera housing and a metal frame, as well as an undisclosed (at launch) 5nm 64-bit Octa-Core Processor with 2.9GHz maximum clock speed (which should be the new Eynos 2100 chipset).
Both the 6.2-inch Galaxy S21 and 6.7-inch Galaxy S21+ have flat Full-HD+ dynamic AMOLED 2X displays with adaptive refresh rates up to 120hz, 10MP front cameras, a triple-lens main camera module with 12MP ultra-wide, 12MP wide-angle, and 64MP telephoto with 3x optical and 30x Space Zoom.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra rocks a 6.8-inch Edge WQHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2x Infinity-O display with an adaptive refresh rate (10~120Hz), a 40MP front camera and a five lens main camera module comprising of a Laser AF sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide sensor, 108MP wide-angle sensor, plus two telephoto modules - one 10MP with 3x optical zoom, and the second 10MP with 10x optical zoom! The S21’s display is also compatible with the Samsung S-Pen, which can be carried in a compatible case.
