Rumored specs surface for the Samsung Galaxy S21 line
As for the Galaxy S21 Ultra, it looks as though the main sensor will be 108MP which will use 9:1 binning in an attempt to deliver sharp, bright 12MP images. To improve the telephoto capabilities of the top-of-the-line Galaxy S21 Ultra, Samsung is putting a second man on the job. And by man, we mean a camera. Two 10MP snappers are expected to handle the telephoto tasks for the handset; one will include optical zoom up to 3x while the other provides optical zoom up to 10x.
There is speculation that Samsung will configure the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+ with storage options of 128GB and 256GB. The Galaxy S21 Ultra will supposedly feature those two options along with a 512GB variety. And thus far, leaked specs have revealed the lack of a microSD slot which would indicate that there might not be any expandable storage option for the Galaxy S line this year.
We can’t discuss Samsung’s upcoming flagships without putting in a word for the S Pen. From what we’ve seen so far, S Pen support is coming to the Galaxy S21 Ultra. When we mention support, we mean that the digital pen can be used on the display. However, there is no “home” to store the accessory like there is on the Galaxy Note models.
As for 5G, the trio of new phones should support both low band (sub-6GHz) and high-band (mmWave) signals. In the states, this means that the phones will work on the major carrier’s coast-to-coast networks which offer 5G signals with not much improvement over 4G LTE data speeds. And they will also deliver the much faster high-band 5G signals available in only limited areas of the country at this stage.
And speaking of a battery hog like 5G, the rumored battery capacities for the new flagships are 4000mAh, 4800mAh, and 5000mAh for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and the Galaxy S21 Ultra respectively.
