A new report has surfaced online revealing the codename and hardware details of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S21. The industry insider quoted in the report also claimed that the company might retail the handset at a much lower price. The industry's attention is now slowly shifting to the next flagship smartphone of the Seoul-based tech and electronics giant now that the Galaxy Note 20 nears its launch.
Samsung Galaxy S21 Codename, Price And Hardware Details
The latest detail about the Samsung Galaxy S21 came from a reputable industry insider, Ice Universe. On his official Weibo account, the tipster shared that Samsung internally calls the upcoming flagship Galaxy U. He also shared Samsung plans to reduce the price of the Galaxy S21.
This means that Samsung would stick to the FHD+ display that supports a 60 Hz refresh rate, the tipster added. He also recommended to those who prefer the best Samsung Galaxy S21 model to choose the Galaxy S21 Ultra model. Based on the industry insider's latest information, it appears that the Seoul-based company is planning to downgrade the specs of the upcoming flagship handset to achieve a lower retail price.
Other Samsung Galaxy S21 Details
Earlier leaks revealed that the Galaxy S21 would sport a 150MP camera sensor. If the information shared by ice Universe is to go by, it seems that the 150MP camera configuration would be for the Galaxy S21 Ultra model. If Samsung is going to cut the cost of its upcoming flagship handset, it might drop the Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 chipset and change it to Exynos line for all markets.
A few days ago, several sites reported that Samsung might follow what Apple plans to do with its flagship iPhone 12 series. The Seoul-based company, like Apple, reportedly would not ship in-box chargers on its future smartphones. It was also rumored that it would drop the SD 875 and replace it with SD865 for its upcoming lineup.
Additionally, previous reports claimed that Samsung would launch three new models under the Galaxy S21 series. Whispers online also revealed that the upcoming line up would feature an under-screen camera. It was also rumored to feature support for the Qualcomm Ultrasonic under-screen Fingerprint 3.0 technology.
In the absence of official confirmation from Samsung, it is wiser to take this new set of information about the Galaxy S21 with a pinch of salt. The upcoming flagship series is rumored to arrive in the second half of 2021.
