A few weeks before the global premiere of the Galaxy S21 series smartphones, the parameters of the upcoming flagship model were leaked. The German magazine Winfuture.de has published complete specifications as well as product photos of the flagship Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. Given the many previously confirmed predictions, there is no reason not to believe the information from this source.
The biggest change is the backside design in particular which differs from the previous models. The camera panel which is partially overflowing into the frame of the phone will probably be the hallmark of the entire Galaxy S21 series.

The display will be a top Dynamic AMOLED 2X with a punch-hole for the front selfie camera, 2K resolution and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. Maximum instant brightness will “fire” up to 1,600 rivets. Samsung S21’s screen will get a Gorilla Glass 7 protection.
Samsung S21 Ultra: Better zoom and focus
The camera has also been improved, which will help us to forget about some of the problems of the previous generation, especially with the camera’s poor focus when shooting macro shots. The rear camera consists of four lenses (primary 108 Mpx, wide-angle and two telephoto lenses) thanks to the phone can handle up to 10× optical zoom. The laser sensor will also help to focus better. Three of the four lenses will be optically stabilized.
The display will receive a top Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a punch-hole for the front selfie camera, 2K resolution and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. The screen will manage the maximum instant brightness of up to 1,600 rivets and will be protected by Gorilla Glass 7 glass.
Samsung S21 Ultra: Battery
The built-in battery will offer a capacity of 5,000 mAh and will be rechargeable by cable (45 W) as well as supporting wireless charging. However, the charging adapter as well as the previously supplied AKG headphones will probably no longer be part of the package.
The phone will be sold in 12GB RAM and three storage sizes (128, 256 or 512 GB) options. There will be a black and pearl silver variant to choose from. The price of the new Samsung S21 Ultra will probably be about the same as when the previous Galaxy S20 Ultra model was introduced last year. First reports are talking about the price of €849 and up for the S21, the 128GB S21 Plus for €1,049, the 256GB S21 Plus for €1,099, and the S21 Ultra for €1,399 and up.
The new generation of Samsung Galaxy S21 smartphones is to be released online on January 14, 2021.
