WinFuture website has published official photos of the Samsung Galaxy S21 and Samsung Galaxy S21 + smartphones in different colors, and this time we can see the new smartphones from the back and from the side.
We will remind, earlier this week, the reliable insider Evan Blass shared the first official press renders of the standard version of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S21 smartphone, and then we were shown only the front of the smartphone.
The side view of the smartphone looks a little strange, but everything becomes clear if you look at the updated rear camera unit, which is a continuation and part of the body itself, if you look at the smartphone from the side. When viewed from the back, it seems that the camera unit, as we said earlier, floats to the top and left of the body.
The S21 and S21 + have flat screens; and only the S21 Ultra will have a curved display, which should also get stylus support.
The official announcement of smartphones is expected on January 14th.

A quick touch will be enough.

The standard version of the S21 with the model number SM-G991U has appeared in the database of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Also, the certification confirmed that the smartphone supports 25W wired charging; and the S21 also supports wireless reverse charging of other gadgets at 9W.
Even though Samsung may not equip the Galaxy S21 smartphones with a charger and headphones, but for the top model – Galaxy S21 Ultra – a completely new accessory will be available: the S Pen. This confirms previous news of canceling the Galaxy Note 21 series.
