View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Product images presumed to be the official images of the Galaxy S21, which Samsung Electronics will unveil next year, have been leaked. As product specifications are gradually revealed, there are also forecasts that the price of the Galaxy S21 series will be cheaper than its predecessor.
On the 17th (local time), IT tipsters Evan Blass and Roland Quandt released official rendering images of the Galaxy S21. The rear camera protrusion has been significantly reduced compared to the previous model, and the camera module is coated with the same color as the side frame.

The colors of the Galaxy S21 series did not deviate from the tipsters' predictions. The Galaxy S21 comes in four colors: Violet, Pink, White, and Gray; the S21+ in Violet, White, and Black; and the Ultra model in Silver and Black.
Looking at the released images, the front of the 6.2-inch Galaxy S21 features a flat screen with a punch-hole design for the front camera maintained. Contrary to expectations, the bezel thickness appears similar to the previous model. An aluminum frame is applied on the sides, with power and volume buttons on the right. A stereo speaker seems to be installed between the display and the frame.
The design of the Galaxy S21 Plus is almost identical to the S21. The screen size is larger at 6.7 inches, but other specifications, except for the battery, resemble the Galaxy S21. The Galaxy S21 Ultra has a 6.8-inch screen, supports the S Pen, and has bezel thickness different from the other models.
Will the Galaxy S21 be 100,000 KRW cheaper than its predecessor?
The price of the Galaxy S21 is also expected to be slightly lower than its predecessor. The Galaxy S20 was priced at 1.25 million KRW, 1.35 million KRW, and 1.6 million KRW, but it may be released at a price more than 100,000 KRW cheaper. The expected selling prices in the U.S. are ▲ Galaxy S21: $849?$899 (approximately 930,000?990,000 KRW) ▲ S21+: $1,049?$1,099 (approximately 1,150,000?1,200,000 KRW) ▲ Ultra: $1,249?$1,299 (approximately 1,370,000?1,420,000 KRW). It is expected to be released more than $100 cheaper than the Galaxy S20 series. It should be noted that in the U.S., consumer prices are displayed without including value-added tax, unlike in Korea.
There are also forecasts that the Ultra model's price will increase compared to its predecessor. Based on information shared on GalaxyClub and other sources, the three models may be released in Europe at prices of 879 euros, 1,079 euros, and 1,399 euros respectively. While the S21 and S21+ are 120 euros and 20 euros cheaper than their predecessors, the Ultra model is priced at 1,399 euros, 50 euros higher than the previous model.
