A new report has suggested that the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra might have already started production. In other words, the next gen flagship from the South Korean tech giant might be arriving sooner than expected.
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (part) production seems to be starting rn. Will have to wait a little to confirm if this is mass production or just sampling for PVT/DVT devices.

According to a tweet from known leakster Roland Quandt (@rquandt), the part production of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra has already started. Although, Roland also clarified that it is unconfirmed if this is in the mass production phase or just sampling for PVT/DVT devices. Meaning, this might just be the prototype’s production as a means of testing, as per a PhoneArena report.

Similarly, a previous report had also suggested that the company is planning on launching the Galaxy S21 series a month and a half earlier to make up for the lower than expected sales of the Galaxy S20 series. Furthermore, it is also being rumored that Samsung might be merging its Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series of flagships to streamline its handset lineup and focus more on the Galaxy Z series of foldable devices.
The early launch of the Galaxy S21 is said to be an attempt to also take advantage of Huawei’s current predicament and fill in the gap in the market. While it is unclear when exactly the Galaxy S21 series will be launched, reports claim a January 2021 launch or even a late December 2020 launch as well. Unfortunately, we have no way of confirming this at the moment. The latest flagship devices from the company would likely sport Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 875 SoC and the Exynos 2100 processor, depending on the region. That is all we have to go on for now, so stay tuned for more updates.
