14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung Galaxy S21 is projected to see the daylight on January 14, with Samsung itself finally confirming the Unpacked event in a teaser a few hours ago.
The company, however, hasn’t provided any specifics about the upcoming lineup of devices to be announced at the show, yet we already know pretty much everything there is to know about the new S21.
Including something coming exclusive to the Ultra model, as Samsung is reportedly planning to add S Pen support to this model for a long-term plan that concludes with the demise of the Galaxy Note series.
That’s right, Samsung wants to kill off the Note lineup, so the company is bringing the S Pen to the Galaxy S series, with the first step in this regard to be made this year.
New case of the Ultra model
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra would thus come with stylus support, only that the device won’t ship with this accessory in the box. Instead, it would be sold separately, and according to a report from WinFuture, it would cost approximately 40 euros, which is about $49 for our American readers.
In other words, S21 Ultra buyers would have to buy the S Pen separately if they want to benefit from this new upgrade, and by the looks of things, the company has also designed an approach to deal with the lack of a dedicated slot to carry the stylus.
So instead of designing such a slot, the South Koreans would release a dedicated Samsung Galaxy Note21 Ultra case that comes with space for the S Pen, thus making it more convenient to carry the phone and this little accessory around.
Samsung is projected to reveal all details on January 14 as part of the Unpacked event, and sales of the Galaxy S21 are due to kick off later this month.
