The Galaxy S20 series of flagship smartphones did not sell well as a result of the global pandemic and higher price tags. Hence, Samsung launched Galaxy S20 FE in the second of 2020 at a much affordable price tag. Though the smartphone market has now improved, the South Korean tech giant is reported to produce only 6 million units of Galaxy S21 series initially.
Yesterday, a report by The Elec said that Samsung has postponed the launch of Galaxy Z Flip2 (tentative branding), the successor to the popular Galaxy Z Flip. This is said to help the company to prevent cannibalizing the sales of the Galaxy S21 series.
The same report also revealed some more details of the next-gen Galaxy S series phones. First and foremost, Samsung is said to start manufacturing the Galaxy S21 series next month (December) itself and the initial production batch will only include 6 million units. The firm is expected to produce more units based on demand.

Further, the Galaxy S21 will be available in four colors namely gray, pink, violet, and white. Whereas, the Galaxy S21+ will come in three colors – black, silver & violet. And finally, the Galaxy S21 Ultra will only sell in two colors – Black and Silver respectively. Anyway, Samsung may introduce new colors (limited to certain regions) after the launch of these phones just like every year.
Last but not least, the report also says that Samsung will be manufacturing 1.5 million units of Galaxy Buds 2 (tentative branding) codenamed Attic in December and January respectively. The company’s next-gen TWS will be initially made in Vietnam but the production will be further extended to Brazil in February.
The Galaxy S21 series is expected to launch in January. Samsung is yet to confirm the exact date, which the company may reveal in December.
