Samsung Galaxy S21 series full specs and features get leaked

Probably everything you need to know about the S21 lineup.

What you need to know

  • The Galaxy S21 series' full list of specs and features have leaked.
  • The S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra will come with the latest Snapdragon 875 SoC, or the Exynos 2100, depending on the region.
  • The Galaxy S21 series is rumored to be announced on January 14, 2021.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S21 series hasn't been paricularly shy in terms of leaks as we've already found out about the official press renders as well as the January 14, 2021 announcement date.

However, according to an exclusive new report from Android Police, the Galaxy S21 series' full list of specs and features has been leaked and are now out in the open.

As expected, there will be three variants of the Galaxy S21, including the regular Galaxy S21, the S21+, and the S21 Ultra. All three versions will come with One UI 3.1 based on Android 11 and the latest Snapdragon 875 processor or the Exynos 2100, depending on the region. Before you get your pitchforks out, the Exynos 2100 will reportedly be "on-par or better than the Snapdragon 875" in raw power and efficiency.

The new leak also confirms previous reports of the Galaxy S21's rather unique design with the camera bump overflowing the upper left corner and blending into the frame itself.

The standard Galaxy S21, codenamed O1, will have a 6.2-inch 120Hz FHD+ LTPS display, a 4,000 mAh battery, and a triple camera system including a 12MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 64MP telephoto lens. It'll be available in four different colors, including Phantom Violet, Phantom Pink, Phantom Gray, and Phantom White. Based on the report, the regular S21 might have a plastic rear cover design.

The Galaxy S21+, codenamed T2, comes with a 6.7-inch 120Hz FHD+ LTPS display, a sizable 4,800 mAh battery, and the same triple camera system as the standard Galaxy S21. The S21+ will have three different color options but in Phantom Silver, Phantom Black, and Phantom Violet. Unlike the S21, it is unknown if the S21+ will have a plastic rear cover design as well.

Finally, the largest Galaxy S21 Ultra, codenamed P3, has a 6.8-inch WQHD+ LTPO display with a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The display will have a peak brightness of 1600 nits and a staggering 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio. And, as rumored, the S21 Ultra will have S Pen support, but the stylus itself will not be included in the box.

The Ultra variant will have a 5,000 mAh battery as well as a quad-camera system consisting of a 108MP main sensor (2nd gen), 12MP ultra-wide, a 10MP 3x optical, and a 10MP 10x optical lens. The S21 Ultra will have fewer color options than the standard S21 and the S21+, coming in only Phantom Black and Phantom Silver. The Ultra is confirmed to have a glass rear cover design.

Not surprisingly, all three versions of the Galaxy S21 will support 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.1. Also, while the variants may have different camera systems, all versions will be capable of 4K/60fps video recording, Super Steady stabilization, and an option for 8K/30fps, which is an upgrade over the 8K/24fps option on the S20 and Note20 series.

Overall, the S21 series doesn't seem to be a significant leap over other flagship phones at the moment; however, we'll have to see what else Samsung has up its sleeves on January 14, 2021.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
