In his last Galaxy S21 series teaser, Samsung shows us how the line has evolved over the years. The new phones are expected to use the best feature of the Note series, the S Pen stylus and, unfortunately, the worst feature of the Vanilla Note 20 as well. The Galaxy Note 20 comes with non-expandable storage and by Roland Quandt, the Galaxy S21 may also not offer a microSD card.
This applies to all three models, not just the standard variant.
Last year’s Verizon Galaxy S20 5G UW also doesn’t allow for storage expansion, and the 2015 Galaxy S6 and Note 5 also didn’t come with a microSD slot.
But it’s not all bad news. We heard that the Galaxy S21 series will be sold without a charger, but Quandt says that some regions may have one. We don’t know the reason behind this supposed strategy, but it may be that some markets require Samsung to include accessories in their phones.
The S21 specification sheets say:
memory card reader: “No”Some markets may still have a charger in the box, while others may not.

Galaxy S21 is coming soon
Almost everything is already known about the Galaxy S21 series. The phones are likely to be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 in the US, and the unannounced Exynos 2100 elsewhere.
The more sophisticated model is expected to have a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with 120 Hz variable LTPO refresh rate technology, a 108MP primary sensor and a 5,000 mAh cell with support for wireless charging and fast charging. 45W wired.
The phones are likely to launch on January 14.
