On January 14 at 10 AM EST, Samsung is hosting its latest Unpacked event<\/a>, where it will announce the Galaxy S21 family. This time around, the company is expected to announce three devices: the S21 5G, the S21+ 5G, and S21 Ultra 5G.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an unusually early unveiling \u2014 following an unusual year \u2014 and we\u2019re expecting some notable changes to Samsung\u2019s mainstream lineup this year. Perhaps most notably\u2026<\/p>\n

The S21 Ultra brings S-Pen support to the mainline Galaxy family<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve been hearing rumors for months that Samsung would abandon the Note family<\/a> and instead incorporate S-Pen support into the mainline Galaxy S series. That appears to still be on track, with the latest rumors suggesting the S21 Ultra, at least, will support the S-Pen through an optional case. An FCC filing<\/a> all but confirmed S-Pen support for that phone.<\/p>\n

Given it\u2019s an optional accessory this time around, the pen appears to sport a chunkier, more comfortable design. As before, it appears to feature two buttons and support accelerometer-based gestures.<\/p>\n

The requirement of a separate case will likely come as a disappointment to Note fans, especially as it\u2019s expected to cost around $50 or  \u20ac40, according to WinFuture<\/a>. It would also be nice if the company could bring stylus support to the cheaper models, for those who want a stylus but don\u2019t want to shell out the big bucks for the Ultra model, but that doesn\u2019t appear to be the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

No chargers in the box<\/h3>\n

Samsung ads<\/a> made fun of Apple for not including a charger in the box with the iPhone 12. And then Samsung suspiciously deleted those ads<\/a>, fueling speculation it plans to remove chargers from the S21 models\u2019 boxes as well (I\u2019m feeling some d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu<\/a>\u2026). Unless you\u2019ve saved your fast charger, you might want to budget an extra few dollars for a new power brick.<\/p>\n

Beefy cameras<\/h3>\n

As usual, the Ultra model is expected to pack a particularly beefy camera system. According to leaker Evan Blass<\/a>, the camera will come with a 108MP primary camera and a 12MP ultrawide. The phone will also sport dual 10 MP telephoto cameras, one at 3x zoom and one at 10x. Combined with digital processing, the camera is expected to offer up to 100x zoom, but whether the quality will be useful remains to be seen. The selfie camera is no slouch either, at 40MP.<\/p>\n

The non-Ultra models, meanwhile, will opt for a three-sensor rear camera array: a 12MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 64MP telephoto, presumably at 2x or 3x optical zoom. The telephoto sensor\u2019s extra resolution should help a bit when going into digital zoom territory, however.<\/p>\n

The usual spec bumps<\/h3>\n

Cameras aside, here are some of the key highlights we expect in the specs department:<\/p>\n
