Galaxy S21 performance
Unfortunately, the scores obtained with Geekbench version 5.2.5 are not exactly up to expectations. The behavior may be intentional, Samsung hiding the real performance for the official launch announcement, or we are simply dealing with an insufficiently optimized prototype version.
Galaxy S21 + comes with a 6.7 inch and 6.7 inch screen for the S21 Ultra model, respectively, slipped into a case measuring 165.1 x 75.6 x 8.9 ~ 10.8mm. Except for its rather high height, all we know about the camera is that it will have a 108MP main sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide mode, respectively the mode with Periscope technology and for the zoom function.
According to rumors so far, Samsung will unveil the new Galaxy S21 series sooner than usual, the official announcement being expected on January 14. At the same time, the pre-order campaign will start. The official launch will take place on January 29, 2021, with limited stocks in stores.
