Recently, we saw the CAD renders of the Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21 Ultra, which looks pretty neat and now we’ve also got to see the renders of its one more model, Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus.

The new renders are coming from Mysmartprice and show Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus with an identical design to the Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21 Ultra models.

According to the information, the Galaxy S21 Plus expands at 161.5 × 75.6 × 7.85mm. Compared to the Galaxy S20 Plus, the Galaxy S21 Plus is likely to be shorter, thinner, and wider. It sports a 6.7-inch flat display with a punch-hole camera cutout. One thing to note that, Galaxy S20 Plus had a curved edge display and Samsung ditching the curved edge panel and coming back to a flat display is a huge thing.

This is because Samsung is the first smartphone maker to introduce the curved edge display and with the launch of the Galaxy S10 series, the South Korean tech giant has slightly reduced the edge curvature on its flagship smartphone display.

Also, in the past, Samsung had only launched a flat panel in its standard variants such as Galaxy S20, and making a flat panel available in the Plus models is something noticeable. On the other hand, the renders of S21 Ultra reveal that it’ll the only phone in the lineup to use a curved edge panel.

By looking at the camera system, you’ll find that the camera design is similar to the Galaxy S21 and S21 Ultra. With its right side curve reach the camera setup.

In terms of numbers, the Galaxy S21 Plus features three rear cameras. However, their specs are currently unknown. Besides the cameras, there’s an LED flash on the right side of the module.

On the right side, Galaxy S21 Plus features a volume rocker along with a power button. The left side remains plain and the top side consists of two holes alongside a SIM-card tray. The bottom side consists of a Type-C port, a microphone, and a speaker grill.

According to the previous information, Samsung has planned to launch the Galaxy S21 earlier than its previous schedule and a leak confirms that this Samsung flagship will launch in January 2020. An official announcement is yet to be made.

Vivo X100 Ultra

Vivo X100 Ultra is officially launched to challenge Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with a 200MP Periscope camera. Specs-wise, this smartphone outpaces Samsung’s latest Galaxy S24 Ultra in terms of imaging capabilities, thanks to the custom Periscope sensor.

The new Vivo X100 Ultra comes with a 1-inch Sony LYT-900 main camera, and a 200MP periscope camera leveraging the 1/1.4″ ISOCELL HP9 sensor co-developed with Samsung. It’s notably the largest telephoto sensor fitted on a phone to date.

The Periscope introduces f/2.67 aperture and an 85mm equivalent focal length. Following its collaboration, Vivo brought Zeiss T* coating and Zeiss APO certification to the X100 Ultra, as part of delivering improved clarity and less fringing at contrast edges.

This monstrous zoom camera brings up to 3.7x optical zoom and 20% improved light sensitivity. Its telephoto macro (a.k.a. telemacro) mode offers 20x magnification. The company also introduced its BlueImage algorithm which was in development for eight years.

Vivo X100 Ultra

X100 Ultra’s 50MP main camera uses a 1/0.98” LYT-900 sensor with f/1.75 aperture and 23mm focal length. It also supports up to 4K 120fps video recording and Dolby Vision support. Besides, the 3rd lens is a 14mm equivalent ultrawide with a 1/2″ 50MP LYT-600 sensor.

Galaxy S24 Ultra…

The Galaxy S24 Ultra comes with a quad rear camera setup. The module consists of an advanced 200MP primary sensor – ISOCELL HP2, an ultrawide camera, a 10MP Telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP Periscope with 5x optical zoom.

As the periscope camera is co-developed by Samsung, quality shouldn’t be questioned. This year’s Samsung flagship is equipped with a new 50MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom. However, the 200MP periscope sounds pretty capable and powerful over S24 Ultra’s.

LG Innotek struggles to gain ground in Samsung smartphone CoF

Samsung Galaxy A55 A35 5G promo material

LG Innotek is supplying CoF for budget and mid-range Samsung smartphones this year. Despite the CoF supply chain formed by the Korean govt., Stemco still has the upper hand in overall volume and model-specific volume in the Samsung CoF market.

TheElec notes that LG Innotek is not making progress in Samsung smartphones’ CoF (chip-on-film) market. Back in 2021, Korean govt formed a local CoF supply chain, but Japan’s Stemco still has an edge over LG Innotek in the Samsung smartphone CoF market.

As of 2024, LG Innotek and PI Advanced Materials are still supplying CoF and related materials for Samsung’s affordable phones like the Galaxy A5 series. Pay attention, the lower lineup of the Galaxy A series and Galaxy M series uses the CoG method, mounting chips on glass substrates.

LG Innotek’s CoF production line operation rate is expected to reach around 70% this year. Beyond Samsung, LG Innotek supplies smartphone CoFs to Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Notably, G Innotek’s revenue was 20.6 trillion won last year.
