The upcoming Galaxy S21 won't have a significant upgrade like the S20

Tuesday, 11 August 2020 at 09:28

The Samsung Galaxy S20 series smartphones presented at the beginning of the year, despite a two-fold increase in the number in the series, did not become something truly breakthrough and advanced, in many ways they became slightly modified versions of the previous Galaxy S10 (with the exception of the fundamentally new S20 Ultra model). Now there are rumors on the Web that the future Galaxy S21, which will be released in about six months, will not receive any significant update in terms of hardware and capabilities.

As of now, seems like S21 next year won't have a significant upgrade like the S20. It's more like S20.5, S20s or S20T

The author of the leak @Boby25846908 reports that future new devices will be more similar to the Galaxy S20.5, S20s or S20T, and among the main innovations one should not expect an invisible subscreen front camera or a breakthrough in the main cameras. In the comments to the tweet, users suggested that the Samsung Galaxy S21 will be equipped with the new Exynos 1000 series chipsets and finally 120Hz QHD+ displays. Do you think the Korean vendor will be able to provide something truly first-class?
