If there’s one 2021 device that has leaked well ahead of launch, it is definitely the Samsung’s Galaxy S21. In fact, almost all the info regarding the entire series of 3 devices is out in the open. Now, a fresh report says Samsung will hold a teeny-weeny pre-order window for the devices in its home country.
The Galaxy S21 series comprising of Galaxy S21, S21+, S21 Ultra 5G devices will be open for pre-orders from January 15th as per the new info. If what the Twitter user(via Sammobile) says is true, this is going to be the situation in Korea.
He also says that the pre-orders will run through to January 21 which is a span of just about 6 days. In the past, Samsung has had at least a two-week window for the predecessors(Galaxy S20 series). That said, the disparity between regions this time is baffling as the devices are already up for blind orders in India.

Of course, there is also the possibility of Samsung testing the waters to get the pulse of the audience in bigger countries like India, China. 2020 has been a bit of a rollercoaster for the world and not everyone would be willing to spend such premium pricing(leak) for a smartphone. One other reason could be enough stocks which the company had planned well in advance so that it feels a week for pre-orders is enough.
Anyway, the Korea release date(January 29), as mentioned by the user, corroborates with the early report. Samsung has mostly maintained at least a unanimous launch date of devices across regions. And we can expect the same to repeat this time as well.
Nevertheless, the announcement(January 14) is reportedly just a few weeks away granted Samsung doesn’t jump the gun here. The company has already confirmed that it is bringing new display technology on January 6 and a new Exynos chipset on January 12.
