The Samsung Galaxy S21's launch date has just leaked

The color choices for Samsung's upcoming phones have also been leaked.

What you need to know

  • Samsung is expected to launch next year's Galaxy S21 phones early.
  • A new report marks the date of the announcement as January 14th.
  • The S21 is expected to launch with at least five color variants including Black, White, Grey, Silver, Violet, and Pink.

Samsung's Galaxy S21 is just around the corner, and the company is launching it much, much earlier than it would normally. No longer coming around March as expected, Android Central confirmed earlier this month that the Galaxy S21 would be coming in January. A new report by tech leaker Jon Prosser pins the date to a precise January 14. On that date, the phone would be announced alongside the S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra. It would then ship to consumers on January 29, just two weeks later.

Samsung is also expected to launch this phone in five colors including Black, White, Grey, Silver, Violet, and Pink. More color variants may pop up later as Samsung spies more marketing opportunities, but we can expect at least those five.

As noted above, when it comes to the flagship S-line, Samsung often launches its new phones in March, but there may be reasons for this new launch date. Opining on the moved up release date, Android Central's Jerry Hildenbrand concluded:

The [...] most important reason for moving the Galaxy S21 series launch up to January is that it gives Samsung's other phone lines space to stand apart throughout the year. While the company used to focus its efforts on two major Unpacked events, one in late February or early March for the Galaxy S and the other in August for the Galaxy Note, its success with the Galaxy Z series of folding phones could necessitate adding a third big product launch to its annual cycle. And given that most of 2021 is expected to continue this year's trend of virtual events, the overhead associated with adding another one is lower than it's ever been.

We still don't know detailed specs of the S21 yet. We can presume it'll come with a Snapdragon 875 and a camera system that at least rivals that of the S20, but we'll have to wait for more details to emerge closer to the launch date.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. 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
