While the public expects the release of the Galaxy Note 20 line in August, the Korean company Samsung is already preparing the flagships of next year. Information about the Galaxy S21 series has already begun to appear on the network.
Galaxy U is the internal codename of the upcoming Galaxy S21 series
This time, the details were shared by the famous insider Ice Universe in the Chinese social network Weibo. According to the source, the series got its internal name during the development which is “Galaxy U”. In addition, Samsung set as its goal to release the series at a lower price for users. For buyers, the price reduction looks attractive, but the company will have to make a number of compromises for this.
Samsung is seriously considering creating a “flagship” with simplified features. So, the basic Galaxy S21 model can get a Full HD+ screen with a refresh rate of only 60 Hz. Compared with the flagship Galaxy S20, this is a noticeable step back. For users who want to get the best S21 model, the insider advised considering buying a Galaxy S21 Ultra.
Galaxy S21 will be cheaper than its predecessor
Also, in order to reduce costs, the company may abandon the expensive Snapdragon 875 platform and completely switch to Exynos branded line for all markets. Earlier it was also reported that Samsung may abandon the Snapdragon 875 and use the Snapdragon 865, as in the flagships of 2020 for the United States and China. Another possible source of savings is the delivery of smartphones without a charger in the box.
