Another Samsung Galaxy S21 leak has pointed to a mid-January launch date for the Samsung S21 line of phones, which would be novel as the S series of phones launched in February for several years.
Also new is the source of the leak: Jon Prosser, much better known for his Apple predictions. It states that the Galaxy S21 will be announced alongside the Galaxy S21 Plus and Galaxy S21 Ultra on January 14, 2021 with a launch (and presumably, launch date) on January 29.
Samsung Galaxy S21, S21 +, S21 Ultra 👀 Announcement: Jan 14, 2021 Pre-order: Jan 14, 2021 Launch: Jan 29, 2021 Black, White, Gray, Silver, Purple and PinkNovember 3, 2020
The tweet also pointed out six Samsung Galaxy S21 colors that the phone line will come in: black, white, gray, silver, purple, and pink. Note that not all shades may be available on all phones, as higher-end models may have more demure and ‘professional’ colors like black, white, gray, and silver.
And while Prosser may have a minor track record with Samsung leaks, his tweeted claim appears to have been supported by another notorious leaker, Max Weinbach, who reaffirmed the January release window in a reply message.
Samsung’s S series never debuted in January
The Samsung Galaxy S20 series was announced in late February 2020 with a launch in the first week of March. While the S-series phones have ranged in release dates from March to June, their launches have been pushed further and further until their current February window scheduled to coincide with Mobile World Congress, the annual phone fair in Barcelona.
MWC 2020 was the first big tech show to be canceled due to concerns about the coronavirus outbreak, and nearly all subsequent tech events followed suit for the remainder of the year. Now that phone makers have adapted to make their own individual digital launches, there is less reason to schedule launches during a MWC 2021, should it be held next year in some format.
In other words, without a big show to schedule, Samsung has little reason to delay the launch of the Galaxy S21 line until February. The company had revealed its Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy Note 10 Lite mid-range phones during CES 2020, so maybe they’ll just use that window to show off their new flagship phones and beat everyone else as the first big phone to land just right. after CES 2021.
