We can start counting down the days until a new Galaxy phone makes its debut. Samsung is hosting its latest Unpacked event on January 14 and is expecting the Galaxy S21 to make its debut.

The event, dubbed Galaxy Unpacked: Welcome to the Everyday Epic, will take place at 10:00 a.m. ET (7:00 a.m. PT), and like the Galaxy Note 20 launch in August, this Like the Galaxy Note 20 launch in August, this will be an online-only event that will be streamed on the web. You can follow along on Samsung's website (which will feature anything Samsung announces, in addition to Tom's Guide).

In its Unpacked announcement, Samsung did not mention the Galaxy S21 by name. In its announcement at the event, Samsung teased that "the accelerating transition to a mobile-first world brings with it the need for a device that can transform everyday life into an extraordinary experience."

However, given the amount of leaked information about the company's future phone plans and Samsung's usual strategy of releasing phones in the first three months of the New Year, the Galaxy S21 seems likely to be the headliner for January 14.

This may seem a bit early for a Galaxy S release, but that is because it is. For the past two years, Samsung has announced new phones in February and released them by March, so a January announcement would be the earliest we would see Samsung's latest flagship. However, Samsung is hoping to move up the launch of the Galaxy S21 after its nemesis Apple was forced to delay the launch of the iPhone 12 last fall.

According to the latest rumors surrounding the Galaxy S21, three models are expected to be announced: the standard Galaxy S21, the Galaxy S21 Plus, and the Galaxy S21 Ultra. the S21 and S21 Plus will be similar models, just with different screen sizes and batteries Samsung is expected to release three Galaxy S21 Ultra models. Samsung will reportedly include key features on the Galaxy S21 Ultra, including support for the Galaxy Note's S Pen stylus and a pair of telephoto lenses on the rear quad camera array.

Samsung Electronics President TM Roh has already stated that further features of the Galaxy Note will be included in other Samsung phones. He also promises a more affordable folding device from the company in 2021.

The Galaxy S21 rumor also suggests that this year's flagship phone could be priced a bit cheaper than the Galaxy S20 lineup that debuted a year ago, but nothing official at this time.

If Samsung follows the same pattern as previous Unpacked events, expect more than just the Galaxy S21 to be announced at the show. Samsung is said to be developing a successor to the Galaxy Z Flip, which was announced last year along with the Galaxy S20. We also heard rumors of a Samsung SmartTag for tracking keys coming soon.

We are confident that Samsung will also unveil the Galaxy Buds Pro. Especially after the company's Canadian website posted details of the upcoming wireless earbuds. The earbuds will rival Apple's AirPods Pro with active noise cancellation, Dolby Atmos support, and spatial audio capabilities.
