“Over the past year, mobile technology has taken center stage in everyday life, as people are working remotely and spending more time at home,” said Samsung. “The accelerated transition to a world that prioritizes mobile devices brings with it the need for devices that can transform everyday life into an extraordinary experience.”
The January 14 date for Unpacked comes before normal for Samsung. In the past, the company used to launch its newest flagship phone in February, just before or during the Mobile World Congress, and then launched the device in March or even April.
Samsung will likely reveal three different models of its flagship phone at Thursday’s event: the 6.2-inch S21, the 6.7-inch S21 Plus and the 6.8-inch S21 Ultra. The devices should look the same, but have larger camera modules, increasing their photo and video capabilities.

The company can also discontinue its Galaxy Note line this year and replace it with S Pen support on its Galaxy S21 Ultra. The first renderings do not show a visible location for the pen, which may mean that it must be housed separately from the phone when not in use. In Samsung’s popular – but niche – Note lineup, the stylus slides into the device for storage.
Along with the Galaxy S21 lineup may be some other Samsung announcements. The company is expected to disclose new Galaxy Buds Pro Headphones and Tile-like physical smart trackers, possibly called Galaxy Smart Tags, to help people control their belongings using BlueTooth. Apple has long been said to be working on its own AirTags, but has yet to reveal anything in that area.
