Samsung teases Galaxy S21 launch without revealing details about it

All Samsung has to say officially about the upcoming Galaxy S21 series is "A new Galaxy awaits." It doesn't even mention what model name we're going with this year. Except there's a subtle change between the dates 2020 to 2021 in the teaser video now up on the company's YouTube channel. It also shows the evolution of the Galaxy S series through the years. But Samsung didn't even reveal the date of its next launch. Rumours have been going around that the launch is happening soon (as early as January 14). So, the wait to hear more about this new Galaxy shouldn't be too long.

There have been rumours about the colour variants of the upcoming Samsung flagship. Now, new renders of the device have been teased on social media by prolific leaker Ice Universe. They posted on Twitter that the Galaxy S21's design is "unique and deserves praise." Whether you agree or not, the rumoured flagship handset features a new design aesthetic for the series, with the rear camera module blending into the phone's housing. It gets rid of the usually unsightly camera bump.

The renders show the Galaxy S21 in the predicted colorways: Phantom White, Gray, Violet, and Pink. There's also a Black unit, but this is reportedly available in the higher-end models of the S21.

Samsung Galaxy S21 might not include charger, earphones in the box

Samsung is reportedly toying around with not including a charger and a pair of earphones with its upcoming Galaxy S21 flagship. If the rumours are true, the company will follow in Apple's footsteps, who took out the iPhone 12's accessories. Apple said it was for environmental purposes, but without reducing the price, it's also seen as a way to increase its profit margins. And Samsung might be following in that thinking.

As SamMobile points out, this move could be ironic, given the company's social media team heavily made fun of Apple's announcement that it was getting rid of the charger.
