According to the Korean media, Samsung decided to start production of its new generation flagship model the Samsung Galaxy S21 series in order to fill the gap in Huawei as soon as possible and deal with the pressure of Apple’s iPhone 12 series. So the source claims, it will be released and listed one and a half months in advance.
As some industry sources report, Samsung Electronics has decided to hold its Galaxy S21 global launch event in January next year. It will officially launch the series from late January to early February at the latest.
As we all know, the Galaxy S series usually has a launch event in February or March each year. Then, they go on sale in March or mid-April. However, the Galaxy S20 was released on February 12. It went on sale on March 6. So it turns out the Galaxy S21 will come one and a half months earlier than this practice.
