While Samsung is yet to unveil its three Galaxy S21s on January 14, 2021, India’s largest Samsung Experience Store has just unveiled a shower of major news on the brand’s upcoming flagships. The Samsung Opera House store in Bengaluru does indeed appear to have set up a unique operation in the world – without it being known at this stage whether or not this is part of Samsung’s official launch strategy.
As you will see, the least that can be said is that the store executives are surprisingly talkative. So much so that they confirmed to our colleagues at Android Authority the arrival of the S21 in stores about a week after the official launch of the smartphone on January 14 in India. And that’s not all. The store in question is the only one to already accept some sort of pre-order. Customers can already reserve their Galaxy S21, Plus and Ultra there for the modest sum of 2000 rupees, or around 22.50 euros.
Samsung Indian store confirms several Galaxy S21 news ahead of time
However, at this stage they do not have to choose their model and variant. The payment of this sum actually allows the most impatient customers to obtain real-time information on the availability of the range via WhatsApp. They will then have priority to buy their favorite smartphone once these have been announced. In addition to these data on the date of availability, store executives have confirmed the colors of the three smartphones in the range.
We learn that the Galaxy S21 will be available in gray, pink, purple, and white. The Galaxy S21 Plus will be offered in pink, purple, silver and black. As for the Galaxy S21 Ultra, it will only be offered in black and silver. Finally, we also have some info on the Galaxy S21 Ultra’s photo sensors. We can therefore confirm at this stage that the most high-end smartphone will carry a 108 Mpx main photo sensor, two 10 Mp sensors, one of which will be attached to a 10x optical zoom with laser autofocus.
We do not have at this stage confirmed details on the latest sensor, but on the face of it it will be a 12 Mp sensor. It remains to be seen what surprises Samsung still has in store for us. We know almost everything about the design of the S21 thanks to an official video. In addition, it is also known that the reverse charge of the S21 will be twice as fast. And that, like every year, some variants will be offered in Exynos and others with a Snapdragon 875, or even Snapdragon 888 on certain models and in certain regions of the world.
