The Samsung Galaxy S21 leaks are moving ahead sooner than expected, and that’s because Samsung’s next flagship is rumored to launch earlier than usual. In fact, the S21 series could debut as early as January.
So what can we expect from Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Plus and Galaxy S21 Ultra? I don’t think Samsung can win the performance, as the A14 Bionic is faster than our iPhone 12 benchmark. But based on existing advantages and new developments, Samsung will be able to surpass the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro as the best phones around. Here’s how the S21 lineup can pull it off.
An inexpensive model from scratch
Samsung made a big mistake by making the cheapest model $ 1000 with the Galaxy S20 launch. And epidemics didn’t help matters. So it responded to market trends by launching the Galaxy S20F in the Galaxy 699, with users making the most of what they are looking for in a new phone at a reasonable price. It includes a large OLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, powerful triple-camera setup and solid performance.
I expect that the Galaxy S20 series will initially be a more affordable model with the price hit 699 as opposed to the iPhone 12 Mini, even if it sacrifices some features to meet the price.
144Hz display
According to a rumor, the Galaxy S21 Ultra can boast of a 6.8-inch display with a refresh rate of 144 Hz. It will be a big jump from the 120 Hz panel in the S20 Ultra and will be higher than the 60 Hz screen on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. Apple was rumored to be working on a 120 Hz promotion display for the iPhone 12 Pro series, but it was scrapped due to concerns over battery life.
The advantage of 144 Hz is super fast scrolling and smooth animation, but it has a lot of Android games that have been optimized for 120 Hz panels. Samsung could actually stick to the Apple Pul if it succeeds in scoring exclusively with Fortnite to run at 144 Hz on the S21 Ultra – especially since Apple Play has banned Fortnite from the App Store over their pay-per-pay dispute.
Long battery life
There should be no problem in releasing iPhone in Galaxy S21. The Galaxy S20 packs a 4,000mAh battery compared to just 2,815mAh for the iPhone. .
The iPhone 12 lasted just 8 hours and 25 minutes on 5G compared to 9:31 for the Galaxy S20. However, the S20 set its screen to 120 Hz at 8:04. The Galaxy S21 Plus is rumored to offer a slightly larger battery than its predecessor (4,600 vs. 4,500 mAh), while the Galaxy S21 Ultra will retain its Genorum 5000 mAh battery.
Zoom increase the lead on the camera
One of the most frustrating things about the iPhone 12 Pro is that the optical zoom for the iPhone 12 Pro Max goes out at just 2.5x, while the iPhone 12 Pro does 2x. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini don’t have much telephoto zoom, so Samsung has a chance to extend its lead.
The current Galaxy S20 Ultra has 4x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom and 100x digital space zoom. And the S20 and S20 Plus offer 3x optical and 30x space zoom. However, at least one Galaxy S21 model is rumored to feature two optical zoom lenses – one a 3x and the other a 10x periscope lens.
Fast charging
That’s just one report, but it’s possible that Samsung could follow the iPhone 12 without including chargers or earbuds in the Bux. But even if that doesn’t happen, Samsung should have an edge on charging speeds. The Galaxy S21 will offer 25W charging, compared to the 20W of the iPhone 12 series. There were rumors that the S21 could support super fast 65W charging, but those were downgraded.
The Galaxy S20 Ultra offered 45W charger support as an alternative, but the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and Galaxy Note 20 went with only 25W. So we have to look.
