Those who decided to reserve a handset sight-unseen will receive $60 credit to spend towards accessories for the new smartphone. Samsung says the new deal includes an extra $10 credit when the pre-order is completed with the app. If you’ve had your current handset for a few years and you’re keen to upgrade this year, the latest offer from Samsung could be a good deal. Regardless of what the company has planned for the Galaxy S21, it will be a colossal upgrade for anyone with a four- or five-year-old phone in their pocket.
If you want to take advantage of the new scheme, you’ll need to act fast as Samsung says it “ends soon”.
Although there’s no word on when the Galaxy S21 will be announced, rumours suggest it will take place this month. That’s a month or so earlier than we expect from Samsung.
Based on what we’ve seen so far, it seems Samsung will broadly stick with the design of the Galaxy S20 series. The Galaxy S21 will boast a 6.2-inch AMOLED display with a 2,400×1,080 pixel resolution, 8GB of RAM, either 128 or 256GB of built-in storage, a triple rear camera set-up capable of the usual ultra-wide and portrait mode tricks, a 10-megapixel selfie camera, and a 4,000mAh battery. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S21 Plus will sport the same specs, but will have a larger 6.7-inch AMOLED display and a 4,800mAh battery to keep it powered-on all-day.
