Take a look at the latest rumored specs for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S21 series

Once again, the first flagship smartphone series of the new year will be the Samsung Galaxy S Series. According to AppleInsider, we were able to see the three new phones unveiled on January 14 with the launch taking place in February. The basic Galaxy S21 can be equipped with a 6.2 inch screen. The Galaxy S21 +, the middle phone in the set of three, is said to feature a 6.7-inch screen, and the top-of-the-line Galaxy S21 Ultra will come with a slightly larger 6.8-inch screen.

Surface rumored specifications for the Samsung Galaxy S21 line

The resolution of the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 + is rumored to be 1080 x 2220 (FHD +) with an 18.5: 9 aspect ratio on both phones. The Galaxy S21 Ultra’s screen is said to weigh 1440 x 2960 (WQHD +). This gives the device an 18.5: 9 aspect ratio, combining with the other two models. The two FHD + units can have a 120 Hz refresh rate that refreshes the screen 120 times every second; while this is certainly a battery drain, the Galaxy 21 Ultra may have a 120 Hz refresh rate version that varies depending on the content being shown on the screen. While video games, scrolling, animation and other content can be enhanced with a quick update rate, using the feature with a more static rate does nothing but reduce the battery life of the device being used. Having a dynamic refresh rate saves battery for the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Again Samsung is expected to equip its first-half flagships with a front-facing camera. The Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 + selfie snappers must weigh 10MP each, while the more expensive Galaxy S21 Ultra’s front camera can use a 40MP sensor. Based on renderings, it looks like Sammy is incorporating the camera bump into the body of the phone in the upper left corner at the rear. If that happens, it is a smart move by the manufacturer. For the Galaxy S21 +, the wide and ultra-wide sensors are both 12MP, while the telephoto camera uses 64MP. A Time of Flight depth sensor that graced the Galaxy S20 + will apparently be missing from the Galaxy S21 +.

As for the Galaxy S21 Ultra, it looks like the main sensor will be 108MP, which will use 9: 1 binning in an attempt to provide crisp, bright 12MP images. To improve the telephoto capabilities of the top-of-the-line Galaxy S21, Samsung is putting a second man to work. And by man, we mean a camera. Two 10MP snappers are expected to handle the device’s telephoto tasks; one will include up to 3x optical zoom, while the other will offer up to 10x optical zoom.

It is speculated that Samsung will configure the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 + with 128GB and 256GB storage options. The Galaxy S21 Ultra is supposed to feature these two options along with a 512 GB variety. And so far, leaked specs have revealed the lack of a microSD slot, which would indicate that there may not be any expandable storage options for the Galaxy S line this year.

We cannot discuss Samsung’s upcoming flagships without putting a word in favor of the S Pen. From what we’ve seen so far, S Pen support is coming to the Galaxy S21 Ultra. When we talk about support, we mean that the digital pen can be used on the display. However, there is no “home” to store the accessory as there are on Galaxy Note models.

As for 5G, the trio of new phones must support low band (sub-6 GHz) and high band (mmWave) signals. In the states, this means that the phones will work on the coast-to-coast networks of major carriers, which offer 5G signals with little improvement over 4G LTE data speed. And they will also provide much faster high-band 5G signals, available only in limited areas of the country at this stage.

And speaking of battery consumption like 5G, the rumored battery capacities for the new flagships are 4000mAh, 4800mAh and 5000mAh for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 + and Galaxy S21 Ultra, respectively. Depending on where the phones are purchased, they will be powered by the locally developed Exynos 2100 or Snapdragon 888 chipset.
