With a January launch tipped for an all new Samsung Galaxy S21 which will house new camera and processor technology, insiders are claiming production of the new model is already underway.
The current model Galaxy S20 was only launched in August 2020, with insiders telling ChannelNews the push for a new model is designed to strip share away from Chinese brands, with the launch scheduled to take advantage of the Lunar New Year holiday buying period when consumers often purchase a new model.
We have been told that Samsung will launch both a premium and value model at the same time.
Samsung is believed to have kicked off mass production at their new plant in Vietnam and in South Korea.
Production of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra has also begun according to reports in Germany.
The report follows a leak two weeks ago from @OnLeaks (aka reliable tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer), who posted CAD renders of what the device will look like.
