Details about Samsung’s main iPhone 12 rival just leaked for the first time

[Chris Smith]

• The Galaxy S21 release date is still far away, as Samsung hasn’t even launched the Note 20 and Fold 2 phones, but a new rumor already details Samsung’s first iPhone 12 rival.
• A source familiar with the matter claims the S21 series will come in three versions, which is hardly a surprising detail.
• The Galaxy S21 phones might come in LTE-only versions, and storage could be capped to 256GB.

Samsung will unveil a few new flagship phones on August 5th, including the Galaxy Note 20 series and the Galaxy Z Fold 2 foldable. That Note 20 will hit stores a few weeks later, with the Fold 2 supposedly launching later in September. But these devices aren’t iPhone 12 rivals, even though they’re launching before Apple’s 2020 iPhones. The Note 20 and Fold 2 will still rock 7nm processors made by Qualcomm and Samsung, just like the Galaxy S20. All these phones are part of the same generation of iPhone 11 competitors, even though they might deliver features that aren’t available on any iPhone.

The processor is one of the most important upgrades coming from a new iPhone generation. The A14 chip that will power the iPhone 12 will be the world’s first commercial 5nm chip, which will make it even faster and more efficient than the A13 that powers the iPhone 11 and iPhone SE. What’s even more exciting about the A14 is that a version of it will be used for next-gen iPads and Macs in the near future. The first Android handsets to receive 5nm chips will launch only next year, several months after the iPhone 12. Samsung’s first real iPhone 12 rival will only come next February, and that’s the Galaxy S21 series. And a rumor already offers the first details about the next-gen Galaxy S models.
