Galaxy S21 series’ specifications and features revealed in the latest leak

Galaxy S21 series is still a couple of months away, but leaks and rumours have continued to spill the beans about Samsung’s next flagship smartphones. The latest is an Android Police report that gives away key specifications and features of the upcoming phones.

First, Samsung Galaxy S21 series will continue the tradition of having three models. The lineup will include Samsung Galaxy S21, Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus, and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. The three models will have mostly similar specifications but with subtle changes in screen sizes and resolution. As expected, the Ultra model will have the best specifications.

According to the report, Samsung Galaxy S21 will have a plastic shell on the back. The Ultra will have a glass body. There is no word on the material for Galaxy S21 Plus. The report further says the recent CAD renders of Galaxy S21 series are pretty much accurate.

The base model is said to come with a 6.2-inch display with up to 120Hz refresh rate and full HD+ resolution. It will run on OneUI 3.1, based on Android 11. For performance, it will rely upon Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 processor. Some markets will get the Exynos 2100 variant. A 4,000mAh battery will power the phone. It will also come with 5G support.

In the camera department, Galaxy S21 will have a triple-rear camera setup, housing a 12-megapixel primary sensor, 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and 64-megapixel telephoto sensor.

Samsung Galaxy S21 will be available in Phantom Violet, Phantom Pink, Phantom Gray, and Phantom White colour options.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus will have the same processor, connectivity, software and camera setup as the base model. The phone is said to come with a slightly bigger 6.7-inch display with up to 120Hz refresh rate and full HD+ resolution. It will also have a bigger 4,800mAh battery. The Plus variant will be available in Phantom Silver, Phantom Black, and Phantom Violet colour options.

The top-end model will come with a 6.8-inch display with up to 120Hz refresh rate and WQHD+ resolution. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra will run on OneUI 3.1, based on Android 11. For performance, it will rely upon Qualcomm Snapdragon 875/Exynos 2100 processor. It will also have 5G support. A 5,000mAh battery will power the phone.

The biggest highlight of the phone is going to be the camera setup. The phone will have a 108-megapixel primary sensor (gen 2), 10-megapixel (with 3x optical zoom) sensor, 10-megapixel (10x optical zoom), and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor.
