Samsung Galaxy S21 Real-World photos reveal crazy thin bezel

With just a few days to go until 2021, Samsung plans to unveil the Galaxy S21 on January 14. We have a full picture of what to expect from this flagship device.

Since Samsung has yet to release official photos of the Galaxy S21, courtesy of MauriQHD on Twitter, who claims to have received these images from a friend, we got what may be our first real look at the phone. And the bezels look even thinner than the iPhone 12 - without the unsightly notch.

The images provide a clear look at the phone, lending credence to both what we've heard and seen in rumors and the series of photos released by insiders and leakers. The front display features a nearly symmetrical bezel, which is a bit hard to see thanks to the censored areas of the leaked photos, but it is obvious that this is a very sleek looking flat screen.

The leaker also flipped the phone over to show the back. It is unclear whether the back is made of glass or plastic. The leaked photo shows a light purple and gold setup, which appears matte in the lighting. There are also "No Photography" and "Do not divulge information" stickers, but all of these warnings appear to be too late.

For the curious, a cutout of the perforated camera is also shown, confirming that the phone is not going to have a camera under the display after all. Still, the cutouts are quite small and not noticeable, especially on the S21's noticeably flat surface.

However, we can get a good look at the phone's triple camera array, and it looks very attractive in the real world, beyond the renderings and close-up images we have seen in the past. If the cameras match the rumored S21 specs, the setup will include an ultrawide 12MP sensor, a 12MP main sensor, and a 64MP telephoto lens. Android Police previously reported that Samsung will offer laser autofocus on the S21 Ultra plus 100x space zoom to curb the focus issues of last year's model, the report said.

Leak prolific Evan Blass, who has provided several high-quality photos and renderings of the device in the past, is still excited to see such a phone, as it confirms much of what we already suspected. Of course, the look is exactly what we expected, similar in many ways to the Galaxy S20, and fans who liked the previous model will be pleased.

Samsung has yet to officially announce the Galaxy S21 and has yet to talk about the rumors regarding this phone. It is still on the fast track to an official announcement on January 14. But if you're interested in getting your hands on the Galaxy S21, you can pre-order it on Samsung's website. There you can get your hands on the "next Galaxy."

These leaked photos and rendered images are about all we have so far, though, as we seem to have learned almost everything we can about the upcoming smartphone. And from where we stand, it certainly looks like an impressive contender so far.
