Samsung Galaxy S21 color just leaked — here's what you get

Now that the iPhone 12, OnePlus 8T, and Pixel 5 have hit store shelves around the world, Samsung is once again responsible for the launch of the next big device: the Galaxy S21 is said to be coming in January 2021, a bit earlier than usual, and will be the usual quantum leap that Samsung introduces with its flagship devices. It will bring the usual leap forward that Samsung introduces with its flagship devices.

And now, thanks to industry insider Ross Young, we have the full list of colors Samsung will ship the S21 in.

If Young is correct, the standard S21 will be gray, pink, violet, and white; the S21 Plus will be black or silver; and the S21 Ultra will be black, silver, and violet. Production is taking place in Brazil, Indonesia, Korea, and Vietnam, he added, for those wondering where the devices are being assembled.

Young himself has a mixed track record when it comes to leaks. He incorrectly predicted no Ultra version of the Galaxy Note 20, predicted S Pen support for the Galaxy Fold 2, and was one of the earliest voices to correctly say no 120Hz screen for the iPhone 12. Nevertheless, Young certainly seems confident about this particular leak, adding that it is "100%."

With the colors clearly determined, Samsung's Galaxy S21 is really starting to take shape. Just yesterday, CAD designs showed what the S21 Plus will look like, and earlier in the week we got a close-up of the curious new wraparound camera housing.

Of course, it's what's inside that really matters, and the S21 news we've heard so far has been quite encouraging: early benchmarks of the Exynos 1000 chipset don't exactly look exciting, but as always with this phone, the brand new for the US Snapdragon 875 is expected to be included. The camera setup should be equally impressive, with not one but two telephoto lenses supported by a 108MP main camera sensor, which could shake things up.

There are also persistent rumors that the S21 will be the first Galaxy S phone to support the S Pen, which has only been available on Note devices and some tablets. Notably, the latest renderings do not depict a place to store the stylus when not in use. But that's not entirely surprising, as it is reportedly set to be an optional accessory, rather than it being integral to the experience with the Notebook.
