- The Galaxy S21 will be the first model in the series to support a feature seen so far only on the Galaxy Note and certain tablets, the S Pen stylus.
- The stylus will work only on the S21 Ultra, but the S21 series will also steal another feature from the Note 20 series.
- According to a new leak, the Galaxy S21 phones will not support microSD cards.
It’s January 1st, 2021, and while we’ve escaped the horrific 2020, the fact remains that the novel coronavirus pandemic will still dominate everything we do for the foreseeable future. Life, as we knew it before COVID-19, will not come back right away, and the pandemic will continue to impact the seasonality of tech events. Samsung seems to be the first company ready to make a big change to adapt to the new normal. The Galaxy S21 will be unveiled in less than two weeks, about a month ahead of schedule. The launch event will probably be an online Unpacked experience, as in-person press conferences are out of the question.
Samsung has to adapt its strategy, considering what happened in 2020. The company launched formidable but expensive devices that stood no chance against the competition. The sky-high price tags of the Galaxy S20 and Note 20 prevented these devices to really compete against any iPhone, be it the 2019 iPhone 11 series or the brand new iPhone 12. All the statistics showed that Apple, itself a seller of premium devices, beat Samsung and everyone else — look at what happened over Christmas when it comes to smartphone activations. Samsung wants to make up for that by offering buyers cheaper new handsets featuring brand new hardware. The S21 rumors we’ve seen so far indicate that the cheapest model will be a lot more affordable than last year’s S20, while the most expensive version will feature a few tricks previously unseen on Galaxy S phones.
