A new report suggests the Samsung Galaxy S21 will launch sooner than expected.
According to SamMobile, Samsung will be holding separate events for each of its flagship lines starting next year. The website claims its sources in Asia have confirmed the new development. This means Samsung will start with the Galaxy S21 launch in January, instead of the traditional February launch, to move on to other phones later.
This may be the case because Samsung wants to get rid of overlapping launch events. Also this year, the Samsung Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Z Flip both launched in February. A similar overlap was seen during the launch of the Galaxy Note 20 and the Galaxy Z Fold. So it won't be a stretch to assume that Samsung wants to put some variation between the versions of the different queues.
Samsung could also try to take advantage of Huawei's absence from the smartphone market. Since the United States' ban on the Chinese tech giant, its market share has fallen outside of China. Samsung may be trying to take the opportunity.
Another reason for the variation in versions could be the large number of phones from Samsung, especially its mid-range segment, which can be really confusing. A break could prove to be beneficial for users as they will have less choice and subsequent confusion to deal with, at least for now.
Speaking of the phone itself, the Samsung Galaxy S21 was recently spotted on China's C3 certification site. The site's listing revealed sports support for the phone for 25-watt fast charging. According to leakster Ice universe, the phone will have a front screen camera.
While other specs for the device are not yet known, we're likely to see a flagship Exynos / Snapdragon processor, 5G capabilities, and better AR implementations on the phone.
