Hmmm!! SNAPDRAGON.Check the following. Something about SOC and internal (maybe flat) camera . Hmmm! Sounds familiar. December 1st. Maybe. Early Q1 Maybe. Something to think about. I was first tipped off on Faceboo
Samsung Galaxy S21 could get an iPhone 12-like boxy design
Samsung Display, the aptly-named screen subsidiary of Samsung, has patented a new bezel design that may be headed for the Galaxy S21 – and bring a new design that could look like the flat-sided metallic frames seen on the new iPhone 12 range of phones. While we don’t have more information than the design’s name – ‘Blade Bezel’ – that could mean the S21’s frame could be minimized and even flattened.
‘Blade Bezel’ could end up being a very different look, of course, but it does suggest we’ll see a different design than the rounded edges we’ve come to expect on the S-series of flagship phones. The Note series, including the recent Note 20 Ultra, has adopted flat tops and bottoms in the last couple, and even the recently-launched Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 has a much boxier-edged look, so we could see more abrupt design changes in the S21 phones.

The ‘Bezel Blade’ patent interestingly described a ‘digital camera display,’ according to LetsGoDigital, which interpreted that as meaning the S21 may get an under-display camera. We’ve seen very few examples of this feature in mainstream phones – notably in the ZTE Axon 20 5G, as seen in the photo above – but Samsung’s S-series phones have debuted new features before.
This is pretty thin evidence, though, and more conjecture based on industry trends combined with the vague patent hint. But it could be a perk that distinguishes the S21 line of phones from the pack.

The Samsung S21 could pack five rear cameras
A rumor has suggested that the S21 phones could pack a penta-camera system on the back with the 108MP ISOCELL HM2 image sensor. Just what the fifth sensor would be – assuming the first four are main, ultra-wide, telephoto, and depth cameras – is unclear.
A penta-camera system is also rumored to come to the Samsung Galaxy A72, which may be a more likely candidate for the first phone to get a five-rear-camera system. Samsung does experiment with its A-series phones, like the flip-up camera on the Samsung Galaxy A80.
The Samsung S21 Ultra could pack a colossal camera block
A set of leaked renders suggests the Samsung S21 Ultra will have a gigantic rear camera block that looks like it will take up an entire corner of the back of the phone. Notable leaker OnLeaks released the renders, and the image speaks for itself:
k Group. I have yet to investigate this much. Have at it and get some feed back people.
