The full specs of the Samsung Galaxy S21 family have leaked, quickly revealing that the Galaxy S21 Ultra is the true flagship.

The massive leak comes from Android Police, which has confirmed Galaxy S21 specs from multiple sources. The site has also seen official press renderings, but has avoided disclosing them to protect the anonymity of the sources in question.

While the specs for all three models look impressive, the Galaxy S21's display and camera are a significant improvement over the others. And it should be a killer competitor to the iPhone 12 Pro Max

. It is immediately apparent that Samsung is doing everything in its power to make the S21 Ultra variant the most attractive device on the market. The Ultra's camera has two telephoto zoom lenses (3x and 10x) that support the 108 megapixel main camera, putting it well ahead of the regular S21 and S21 Plus.

The best the iPhone 12 can do is 2.5x zoom on the iPhone 12 Pro Max and 2x zoom on the regular iPhone 12 Pro.

The S21 Ultra has an adaptive LTPO display, which should support 1-120 Hz refresh rates, useful for switching between low-power situations (e.g., notifications on an always-on display) and high-power situations (e.g., gaming at 120 fps).

On the other hand, the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus use LTPS displays, which can get 120 Hz refresh rates but are not dynamic. iPhone 12 series are up to 60 Hz.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra is expected to have a Quad HD display, while the S21 and S21 Plus will settle for Full HD+.

First of all, the rumors were true: the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra will be the first non-Note brand phone to support the S Pen. The stylus will not be docked inside the device like the Galaxy Note 20, but will be an optional accessory secured by a first-party case.

There have been rumors in the past that the iPhone might support the Apple Pencil, but this accessory remains exclusive to the iPad, iPad Air, and iPad Pro.

All three versions of the S21 will be powered by the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 chip or the Samsung Exynos 2100, depending on region. And if you're in an Exynos region and worried about relative performance, you don't have to be: according to Android Police's sources, it could be "as good as or better than the Snapdragon 875" and more energy efficient than past efforts The company said.

This is one area where the iPhone 12 should definitely keep the lead: the A14 Bionic is a 5nm beast, and we don't see anything that can keep up with it.

Samsung Galaxy S21 spec leaks say the battery is the same 4,000 mAh as before, but the S21 Plus will upgrade from 4,500 mAh to 4,800 mAh. The Galaxy S21 Ultra should have the same 5,000 mAh battery.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max has a 3,687 mAh battery capacity, the largest of Apple's new models.

Android Police refused to release the leaked press renderings, but confirmed that the earlier CAD renderings are nearly accurate and that the camera bump is indeed part of the frame. The color of the frame and camera bump will depend on the shade selected, for example, "Phantom Violet" and "Phantom Pink" will have a copper color.

There is another interesting detail in the report: it appears that Samsung's SmartThings tag will be supported on the S21 Plus and Ultra models. This would put Samsung ahead of Apple's long-rumored AirTags, and both products are rumored to offer a Tile-like experience for tracking lost belongings.

We have already heard that Samsung's Galaxy S21 family is coming earlier than usual, with a January release date rumored. Even better, Samsung is also considering a price cut to "make it more competitive and in line with the recession and global pandemic". "Specifics have not been disclosed, but if Samsung can get the pricing right, it could be a blockbuster product.
