First 5G Galaxy S21 (S30) series details leak ahead of Galaxy Note 20 debut

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra have still not been announced, but that means very little in the world of leaks. The attention is already turning towards the next lineup of flagships and today SamMobile has published the first Galaxy S21 (Galaxy S30) series details.

Three Galaxy S21 flagships with 5G support


Samsung launched one mainstream Galaxy S flagship per year between 2010 and 2014. It switched strategy in 2015 with the introduction of three Galaxy S6 models and later chose to scale back a little in 2016, 2017, and 2018 with two flagships per generation.

Despite the latter's poor reception, it seems Samsung is happy with the overall strategy. Information provided to SamMobile by reliable sources reveals three Galaxy S21 flagships are being prepared for release next year.

These devices go by the model numbers SM-G991, SM-G996, and SM-G998. Their marketing names remain unconfirmed at this stage, but Samsung will most likely launch them as the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra respectively.

The variants under development at the moment all support 5G networks as standard. SamMobile believes LTE models will be made available to purchase in some markets as well, but no evidence has been found.
