It's already been a few weeks since we got our first look at the Samsung Milky way S21 and the S21 Ultra, and since then at that place'southward been a flurry of leaks almost what we should wait from the telephone.

Today is a little different, because the phones are only sort of the focus. We have leaked images of the cases that corroborate the slightly strange design aesthetic of Samsung's upcoming flagship.

The camera array on the back of the S21 isn't so strange, but the bulky 4 or v lens module (depending on who you inquire) on the Milky way S21 Ultra is something else entirely. They're both the focus of new images posted on Twitter by Water ice Universe, at any rate, suggesting that these are indeed the truthful designs.

The standard Milky way S21 case is pretty, well, standard. It's a very typical leather case with a cut-away section that lets the camera lenses see what they're doing. Unfortunately the wrap-around design of the camera module does mean the corner of the phone is completely unprotected from any bumps or drops information technology may incur. Which isn't such a peachy expect.

The same is truthful for the S21 Ultra, albeit slightly worse since the module itself is well-nigh twice the width of the S21's. There are a couple of stranger things, though. The start is that the image is clearly a very rough photoshop of someone holding the phone, though that can easily be attributed to the fact none of the S21 models take been manufactured even so. Given Ice Universe'southward reputation, we don't doubt that this came from Samsung. It wouldn't be the commencement time a company scraped together a placeholder epitome in Photoshop either.

What's interesting is that the image only shows the S21 Ultra with four lenses, rather than the five lenses OnLeaks claims it will have. We've already heard that there will be two optical zoom lenses on the S21 Ultra, alongside a 108MP main lens and presumably some sort of ultra-wide angle lens as well. The fifth lens was a mystery, and nosotros assumed information technology could either be a time-of-flight sensor or possibly fifty-fifty Samsung following Apple's lead with a LiDAR sensor.

Just if in that location'southward no fifth lens, then in that location'south no mystery. Especially since Ice Universe has already said there volition exist no ToF sensor on the S21 Ultra. And then over again we nevertheless don't know which leaker is correct, and just how many camera lenses the Ultra will come with.

Fortunately we don't have to wait very long, since the S21 range'south release date has already leaked. Expect to see the Galaxy S21, S21 Plus, and S21 Ultra on January 14, ahead of a Jan 29 release date.
