Samsung just confirmed today that the Galaxy S21 series will officially be unveiled on January 14, ending weeks of speculations about the launch date. The Galaxy S21 series will continue to keep the rumour mill buzzing until the official unveiling. The Galaxy S21 Ultra case has now appeared online and it seems to confirm a key feature that will find its way to the Galaxy S series for the first time. That is an S-Pen stylus.

The leaked S View Flip Cover with S Pen for the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra seems to suggest that the S21 Ultra will not have a housing on the fuselage for the stylus. Instead, you will need to get a case that will hold the stylus.

The renders which were uncovered by German blog WinFuture, show that the device will have a slightly wider frame so as to be able to accommodate the thick S pen. Also, the case will hold the stylus in the right position for it to be charged wirelessly by the phone. The Bluetooth functions of the stylus such as a remote shutter and an accelerometer and gyroscope to detect gestures make it mandatory to keep the stylus charged always.

The leak also revealed that the S21 Ultra’s S Pen will cost €40, the same price as the Note20 model. Samsung will also sell it in a bundle with the Flip Cover and select silicone case as well.

Further, tipster Roland Quandt has tipped that the Galaxy S21 Ultra will be the only variant in the series that will have a MicroSD slot. In other words, both the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+ will NOT have an SD card slot. The detail is said to have emerged from two different sources and not from an official specs sheet. However, the tipster scores the info a 9/10 confidence rating.
