    The Galaxy S series has proven to be a resounding success for Samsung. These devices continue to be among the most sought after Android flagships every year. Samsung has introduced some major innovations with the series over the past few years.

    As we approach the launch of the Galaxy S21, the company has put out a new teaser which highlights the history of this series. It builds anticipation for what to expect from the Galaxy S21 lineup.

    New Galaxy S21 teaser delivers a memory refresh

    It all started with the original Galaxy S in 2010. Major improvements were made with subsequent models with notable upgrades being introduced. The Galaxy S5 had the distinction of being water resistant.

    Samsung revamped the look and feel of its flagship phones with the Galaxy S6 lineup by switching to a metal and glass build. The Galaxy S7 brought back water resistance while the Galaxy S8 ditched the home button in favor of larger screens.

    The Galaxy S10 took it a step further with the Infinity-O display and further refinements to the design. The 2020 flagship, the Galaxy S20 lineup, brought significant camera upgrades and larger displays.

    A new Galaxy awaits, teases Samsung, making no secret of the fact that a new flagship is coming soon. From what we know so far, the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+ and the Galaxy S21 Ultra will receive design upgrades, new internals and camera upgrades.

    Reports suggest that Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S21 series at a virtual launch event on January 14, 2021. The handsets will be released before the end of the month.
