The Samsung Galaxy S30 is expected to arrive February 2021, and while it’s a bit early to know just about anything specific about the upcoming Galaxy generation, we think we have a pretty good understanding what the Galaxy S30-series will bring to the table. Samsung is a company that values tradition while simultaneously trying to shake things up, but for the most part, the Galaxy S flagship series follows a predictable railroaded path. This makes it somewhat possible to foretell what specs and features the phones will carry.
The dust has barely settled on the launch of Apple’s latest iPhone 12 series, and we already have reports coming in about Samsung pushing up its plans of launching the Galaxy S30 series of phones to make the new iPhones look like a thing of the past.
As er new information that’s coming in, the successor of Samsung’s flagship from 2020, the Galaxy S20 Ultra is all set for release in January 2021. The phone will be called the Galaxy S30 Ultra and is tipped to launch alongside the Galaxy S30. This information comes after there were reports last week of the series going into mass production.
Along with the information, we also have been treated to CAD-based renders of the two phones courtesy of tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks) who has revealed the design of the Galaxy S30 Ultra. Hemmerstoffer published CAD renders of the S30 Ultra revealing key details about the device.
In terms of dimensions, the tipster claims that the S30 Ultra’s screen will be between 6.7 and 6.9-inches and measure roughly 165.1 x 75.6 x 8.9mm. However, he claims that there is no slot for the S-Pen, although there is a belief that the phone will still support it. Talking about the Galaxy S30, the phone’s dimensions are said to be 151.7 x 71.2 x 7.9m. If this is indeed true, it would mean the S30 will be slightly wider than the S20.
The report also claims the Galaxy S30 series could launch earlier than usual, as the phone is set to arrive in January 2021. This would be the earliest release for a Samsung Galaxy S flagship. The phone is expected to be launched in three models, including a top-end S30 Ultra featuring support for an S Pen and new camera capabilities.
Interestingly, it will also be the first time that Samsung launches a new Galaxy device so close to Apple’s flagship iPhones. With barely months between them, a January launch for the Galaxy S30 could essentially make choosing between the two a more difficult exercise and could tip a lot of undecided buyers in Samsung’s favour.
It would also give it a good headstart over competing flagships from other phone makers which will start to launch a month or two after the now rumoured January launch for Samsung Galaxy S series.
