It was reported that Samsung might launch its Galaxy S21 series earlier than before. The phone was also spotted on many other certification sites, including 3C certification and Geekbench.
Today, three smartphones from the Galaxy S21 series were spotted on NFC certification, including the Galaxy S21 (SM-G991U), Galaxy S21+ (SM-G996U), and Galaxy S21 Ultra (SM-G998U). All these models are Snapdragon variants, as the U in their model number indicates they are American variants.
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a set of short-range wireless technologies, typically requiring a distance of 4cm or less to initiate a connection. NFC allows you to share small data payloads between an NFC tag and an Android-powered device or two Android-powered devices. It is also used for payment purposes in some cases.
The Galaxy S21 series is expected to feature the same single punch-hole AMOLED display as previously reported. The display chins and punch-hole may also be reduced. It was also reported that the S21 series would also feature a new Exynos 2100 chipset.
According to Chinese 3C certification, the Galaxy S21 series will feature the following battery capacities:
- Galaxy S21 (3880mAh)
- Galaxy S21+ (4660mAh)
- Galaxy S21 Ultra (4885mAh)
The 25W fast charging speed would be the same on all models.
Currently, the launch of the Galaxy S21 series is expected in January 2021.
