Samsung Galaxy S21, S21+ specs detailed in a massive leak

Sagar, 26 December 2020

Specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra were detailed last week, and now the S21 and S21+ have also got the same treatment, leaving little to the imagination.

The S21 and S21+ will be powered by the Snapdragon 888 SoC in the US and have an Exynos 2100 chipset at the helm in Europe. Both smartphones will boot Android 11 with One UI 3.1, have 8GB RAM onboard, and come with two storage options - 128GB and 256GB. But neither of them is likely to come with a microSD card slot for storage expansion.

The vanilla S21 will feature a 6.2" FullHD+ Infinity-O Dynamic AMOLED display, while the Plus model will come with a slightly larger 6.7" panel of the same resolution. Both screens will be protected by Gorilla Glass Victus and have a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz.

For photography, the S21 and S21+ will sport a 64MP triple camera on the back, with the 10MP selfie shooter placed at the center of the screen.

Keeping the lights on will be a 4,000 mAh battery on the S21, with the Plus model packing a 4,800 mAh cell. But neither phone will come with a charger included in the box. You can check out the table below for the complete specs of the S21 and S21+.
