Leak reveals the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra's case for the S Pen

We already know that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S21 series will support the S Pen. Unlike the Note series, the S Pen included with the Galaxy S21 will be an add-on instead of a native feature. It won't slot into the phone like with the Note. And so, it requires a separate case for it. Samsung has prepared for that, at least according to these leaked accessories for the Galaxy S21 Ultra. 

The S Pen will reportedly cost €40 (around CA$63), which is the same price as the stylus for the Note 20 model. Or it can be purchased as a bundle with select cases. The leak didn't specify how much the bundle will cost. But you might want to spring for one as the case will be instrumental for charging the stylus.

A recent FCC listing all but confirms that the S Pen is coming to the Samsung Galaxy S21series—the Galaxy S21 Ultra in particular. A test report for model number SMG998B explicitly stated that the Equipment Under Test (EUT) device is usable with an S Pen in hover and click modes. The report said, "The EUT can also used [SIC] with a stylus device (S Pen). The EUT operates with the S Pen in two different inductive coupling modes of S Pen motion detection (Hover and Click) operating in the range of 0.53 –0.6MHz."

The listing also mentions wireless power transfer, allowing it to charge things like the rumoured Galaxy Buds Pro; and support for Wi-Fi 6E and UWB. According to Samsung Mobile President TM Roh, the company plans to utilize ultra-wideband more in 2021 with partners' assistance, including using UWB to locate objects or pets, open doors, or personalize car experiences. We should hear more about the Galaxy S21 series in January. The rumoured launch is on January 14, 2021.

Rumours suggest Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra will be similar to predecessor

Do not expect a big leap from the Galaxy S20 Ultra to the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Rumours suggest the upcoming Samsung flagship will have a lot of the same specs as its predecessor. It will have the new rear camera module design, but it will have the S20 Ultra's 108-megapixel rear sensor. In front, the punch-hole cutout will house a 40-megapixel shooter. The S21 Ultra will reportedly have a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x Infinity-O display, 5,000mAh battery, and Android 11 and One UI 3.0 out of the box.

Codenamed O3 with a model number SM-G998U, the Galaxy S21 Ultra and its other series mates will reportedly launch earlier next year in January instead of February. Earlier leaks claim the phone will measure 165.1 x 75.6 x 8.9mm, running on either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 or Exynos 2100. It will supposedly come in Black or Silver.
