Here’s everything we know about the Samsung Galaxy S21/S30, plus what we want to see.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 is the company’s most premium and impressive smartphone to date, but now we’re dreaming of what Samsung will cook up for the Galaxy S21 range. With the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy S20 Fan Edition safely launched, there are no more top-end phones coming from the company until the S21 line at the beginning of 2021. The Samsung Galaxy S21 devices are sure to be some of the most exciting phones of 2021, so hype is already building, and we’re even now hearing lots of rumors – and we now think the device is going to come carrying the Galaxy S21 name, rather than the Galaxy S30. You’ll find everything we’ve heard so far below, and we’ll be adding to this article any time there’s new information, so make sure to check back regularly if you want to stay up to date. You’ll also find our wish list for the Samsung Galaxy S21 further down – these are the things that we most want from Samsung’s next Galaxy S phone, in order to make it as good as possible. Latest stories: A leaker claims that the Samsung Galaxy S21 and Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus will probably both have flat screens. Samsung always unveils its new Galaxy S models early in the year, and in recent years it has been announcing them in February, then selling them from March, so we were expecting the same with the Samsung Galaxy S21 range. However, several rumors are now pointing to January being the month when these handsets are going to be unveiled, and early January at that: it seems Samsung wants to get a head start on the competition in 2021. It’s not just one rumor saying that either – a second one backed up the former and added it was done so Samsung could compete with the iPhone 12’s sales better. Now a third rumor has got even more specific, with a leaker saying that the Samsung Galaxy S21 range will be announced on January 14, with pre-orders opening the same day, and the phones going on sale on January 29. The phone has also passed through the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification process a month earlier than normal, further suggesting a January launch. As for how much the Samsung Galaxy S21 range will cost, the phones will probably be at least as expensive as the Galaxy S20 range, likely meaning a starting price for the basic model of at least $999 / £899 / AU$1,499, with the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra likely costing even more. Before the Samsung Galaxy S20 launch we thought it’d be called the Galaxy S11, and separate leaks referred to it differently. History might repeat itself – a top leaker has stated the Galaxy S30 is actually the Galaxy S21. We initially thought it’d be the S30, and the first leaks backed that up, but now we’re not so sure. So will the phone be called the Samsung Galaxy S21 or Galaxy S30? There’s no way of knowing for sure at the moment now – though it’s worth pointing out that we’re hearing the S21 moniker being used more and more. As the phone’s launch gets closer, we’d expect more noteworthy leakers to throw their worth behind one name or the other, which should give us a better idea of what to expect. The Samsung Galaxy S21 rumors are flowing in, and Android Police has published a whole host of specs about the three phones coming in the series: the 6.2-inch Galaxy S21, the 6.7-inch Galaxy S21 Plus and the 6.8-inch Galaxy S21 Ultra. Elsewhere, leaker Ice Universe has said that the Galaxy S21 range is likely to have flat screens – or at least that the S21 and S21 Plus probably will. Notably they don’t mention the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, so perhaps that will be curved. We’ve also seen our first proper look at the phone courtesy of @OnLeaks. These renders show a front design very much like the Galaxy S20, but a rear camera setup that’s been revamped to create a wraparound effect over the corner of the phone. It’s quite a dramatic change, though the signs were there in the evolution of the Galaxy S20 and then the Note 20 handsets. The screen size of the standard model is said to be 6.2 inches, and it will apparently be flat, as other leaks have suggested. Dimensions meanwhile will apparently be 151.7 mm x 71.2 mm x 7.9 mm. The renders would seem to rule out earlier whispers that the phone might have an in-screen camera, though Samsung is apparently evaluating the feasibility, so it sounds like the tech might not be ready. A picture of the Galaxy S21 camera bump taken from inside a factory backs up those renders, as it’s exactly the same shape as the module shown in the images above. This makes it seem very likely the renders are accurate. The same source that provided the prior Galaxy S21 images also leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, one of which you can see below. This is shown with a curved screen of apparently around 6.7 to 6.9 inches, and a much larger camera block than the standard S21, housing four lenses and a flash. Based on the latest rumors, the screen size will apparently be 6.8 inches. The dimensions meanwhile are apparently around 165.1 x 75.6 x 8.9mm, and there’s a punch-hole selfie camera on the front, but no slot for an S Pen, despite some other leaks suggesting Samsung’s stylus might be supported. We’ve also heard that the phones could come in black, white, grey, silver, violet and pink shades.
