Samsung might release Galaxy S21 sooner than we expected

Samsung has a tradition of launching the Galaxy S series around Feb or March since the first S series. And now we have rumors of an early launch, which is hard to believe but because of the uncertain situation amid the pandemic, anything can happen. Recently, a reputable leaker with a Twitter handle named job_processor uploaded a tweet about the early release of the Galaxy S series.

He isn't always right but now seems very confident about his claim. He said that Samsung will announce the Galaxy S21, S21+, and S21 ultra on 14 January 2021, with pre-orders starting within a week. He also said that devices will be available for sale in the open market from 29 January. He further mentions the color of the devices as black, white, silver, violet, and pink in the same tweet. We already have a few leaks suggesting that Samsung is considering an early launch for the S21 series due to the coronavirus situation, though this is the first time anyone mentions January as the releasing month.

Other leaks regarding colors gave almost the same color options ranging grey, pink, and violet for the Galaxy S21, black and silver for the Galaxy S21+, and black, silver, and violet for the S21 ultra. Bear in mind that these are just rumors and no official release dates. Even if the rumor isn't true, we will have the S21 series by March 2021 in the market. The previous Galaxy S9 was released on 25 February and went on sale from 16 March. The Galaxy S10 was announced on 20 Feb and hit the market on 8 March, and the Galaxy S20 was announced on 11 Feb and went on sale from 6 March. In terms of price, we'd expect the devices to be in a similar position, with the Galaxy S21 being the cheapest and the Galaxy S21 ultra.
