In an unexpected turn of events, a regional branch of Samsung revealed the launch date for the series before any announcement from its global offices. More specifically, Samsung India confirmed the company’s next-gen flagship series will be debuting on January 14th. It did so in quite a casual issued to Android Authority earlier today.
We followed up with Samsung’s local offices and had a company official confirmed the development. Not only that, but they actually said Samsung Experience Stores in India are already accepting Galaxy S21 pre-orders in exchange for a token advance fee of Rs. 2,000 (just over $27).
If that sounds a bit premature, that’s probably because it is. Because it seems these early pre-bookings are completely blind, i.e. they are not accompanied by any concrete pricing or availability details. Yet with Samsung now by announcing a definitive Galaxy S21 launch date that falls in the first half of January, those who pre-book them today might already have their new Android flagships by the end of the same month.
Anyone who pays the aforementioned fee will be able to choose from any of the available models once the actual pre-orders open on January 14th before everyone else. Finally, Samsung India also revealed the color options for the entire flagship series, stating that the Galaxy S21 will be available in white, gray, pink, and purple, whereas the will also be offered in purple and pink, in addition to black and silver. Those last two hues will be the only options presented to prospective buyers.
And there you have it, a surprise official Galaxy S21 info dump. While we’re waiting for some word from Samsung’s global offices, we’ve got you covered in case you need a refresher on .
