Samsung Galaxy S21 5G early launch and S21 Ultra key specs now mostly confirmed

Granted, that sort of gossip has become a staple of the preparation for the company’s high-end smartphone release in recent years, coming and going like clockwork before essentially every new hero device, but things look different this time around. -this. It’s because a number of reliable sources have called for a Galaxy S21 5G debuts in recent times, and now one of the world’s most reputable news organizations is backing up those claims.

According to three sources surely reliable, “familiar with the subject” cited anonymously by Reuters, 5G Galaxy S21, The S21 + and S21 Ultra could be launched “more than a month earlier than expected”.

Naturally everyone expected the departure The Galaxy S21 trio will arrive about a year after the S20 list, officially unveiled on February 11, 2020 and released almost a month later.

This means that Reuters is ready to predict Samsung’s next big thing will see the light “as early as the end of January” 2021, which largely seems to coincide with recent reports and rumors from different places.

Unsurprisingly, the news agency is not yet ready to make more specific or detailed forecasts, unlike the leaky Twitter Jon Prosser, for example, who claims the The Galaxy S21 5G family is slated for an announcement on January 14 and a pre-order start, followed by a commercial release on January 29.

No, Reuters is not technically referring to the three expected S21 models by name in this new report. In fact, the news agency isn’t even saying there will be three main versions of Samsung’s next-gen flagship. But that’s pretty much a given following a number of recent detailed reviews of the S21, S21 +, and S21 Ultra specs, as well as a bunch of very believable leaks renderings based on factory CAD.

The latest information filling some of the Galaxy S21 Ultra whites are from Ice Universe, aka @UniverseIce, who is rarely wrong about this stuff. Apparently, the power of around 6.9 inches will sport a WQHD + display capable of doing 120Hz at 2K resolution. While the 120Hz refresh rate technology is obviously nothing new to Samsung’s ultra-high-end handsets, the Galaxy S20 Ultra and Note 20 Ultra can only enjoy it in their FHD resolution mode.

Of course, future owners of the S21 Ultra 5G will need to be careful not to drain their phone’s battery too quickly by using 120Hz in combination with the highest pixel count available. The screen resolution should hover around the 3200 x 1440-pixel mark, by the way, with Ice Universe also rocking “an almost equal-width bezel,” which likely means Samsung will further reduce the already small size of the The “chin” of the S20 Ultra for the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

To help keep power consumption under control, Samsung will be implementing a display technology called LTPO (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide), which has already been adopted by the Note 20 Ultra after being snubbed by the S20 Ultra.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is expected to bring back the 45W fast charging support from the S20 Ultra after the Note 20 Ultra inexplicably tuned for speeds of 25 watts. This will not live up to the The OnePlus 8T’s 65W capacities, for example, but it should still fill the S21 Ultra’s around 5,000mAh tank in a relatively short period of time.

Finally, Ice Universe today reiterates its claim from last week that the The S21 Ultra 5G will use a 108 MP Isocell HM3 imaging sensor for its rear-facing main camera, starting from the HM1 on the S20 Ultra and Note 20 Ultra. This obviously suggests that the real-world photography skills of Samsung’s best phone will be improved, but it remains to be seen exactly how and to what extent.
