Samsung unveiled its most recent flagship gadgets, another version of the Galaxy S smartphone series with the stylus as its prime feature.

The new Samsung Galaxy S series dubbed S21 and yes it comes with the S Pen too for ease of work on-screen.

According to Counterpoint research analysis, the new Galaxy S21 series with a Stylus Pen might signify that the South Korean tech company will eventually fuse its S series with its premium gadgets collection.

Since they are beginning to preinstall new devices with similar features, the Stylus for taking on-screen notes is a perfect example.

Samsung is on the verge of being remarkable with its brand of gadgets variety just as they designed a high-end foldable smartphone that makes it the top smartphone maker in the world. In contrast, the latest release has less spark of interest compared to its previous releases and we can’t entirely blame it on COVID this time. The new Samsung Galaxy S21 was released to take on Apple’s iPhone 12.

The South Korean tech company is expected to take precedence over its Chinese counterpart, Huawei because the Chinese tech company has experienced a steady crash in its market sales, the value of shares, and cutting off of its supply chain by many western companies due to the US ban and removal of its equipment from telecom networks across Europe.

Since the U.S. government issued a series of sanctions and restrictions on Huawei’s business model within its marketplace, the outgoing U.S. President has banned Huawei because he believes they threaten America’s safety.

According to Sujeong Lim reports, an analyst representing Counterpoint Research – he believes that Samsung Electronics is tactful about conducting business – the South Korean tech giant intends to prey on Huawei’s losses due to the early release of its flagship S21 smartphone.

Lim also highlighted that Samsung Electronics usually launch their outstanding products during the second half of the year.

Besides the Chinese tech brand, Huawei Technologies, which pressurizes Samsung’s productivity in-market sales, other top tech companies also compete with South Korea! The U.S. tech giant Apple Inc has also been responsive like the South Korean brand to produce high-end gadgets suitable for the world’s current pandemic state.

Samsung Electronics also influenced the steady increase in demand from vendors stationed globally for devices that can remotely accomplish office tasks from home. The device is well suitable for leisure, such as playing video games or filming.

Samsung Electronics announced that from the 29th of January, the new S21 series would be globally available for sale at the manufacturer company’s official website, Samsung.com – as-well-as other authorized vendors or dealers world-wide. Cantered on the value of the American dollar, the market value range of the Samsung Galaxy S21 starts from $799.99 – the Galaxy S21 Plus edition costs $999.99 – the Galaxy S21 Ultra costs $1,199.99.

The new S21 with the stylus is powered with the new-school processing chip – the S21 screen is 6.2-inches, S21 Ultra is 6.8 inches, and the S21 is 6.7-inches. The Galaxy S21 is also 5G enabled.

The latest S series is designed with the fifth-generation chip with features similar to its previous Note series. S21 has an advanced camera specifically built-in for video shooting, video viewing, image shooting, and other fantastic characteristics—view S21 complete features.

Samsung intends to include a “stylus” feature in devices yet to be released. Due to the difference in location, the Samsung Galaxy S21 is powered by Exynos 2100 chips . Its subsidiary chipmaker, Exynos 2100, manufactured Samsung 5G chips.

It is important to add that the S Pen is sold separately.
