Samsung is rumored to have designed a new kind of frame for its impending Galaxy S21 series. In the case of the base S21 and S21+, it may ‘blend’ into a housing for 3 large rear lenses around a top corner of the phone in question. The resulting look, according to Ice Universe, is “unique and deserves praise”.
That statement may be up for debate; nevertheless, this tipster’s latest post appears to corroborate earlier leaks concerning the Galaxy S21’s esthetics. It also showcases this phone in all the colorways predicted for it earlier, which may be called Phantom White, Gray, Violet and Pink.
Prior reports suggested that some of these might get new frames finished in copper; however, this applies to the white “S21” only in this latest image. There is an additional black unit, even though this was portrayed as exclusive to higher-end variants in their last leak.
These new renders also show that the phones’ frames are in two parts: the shiny frame/camera hump and a seond part that picks up where it leaves off in a second, heretofore undisclosed material.
In the S21’s case, the rest of the rear panel, which also curves down to meet this second partial frame, is said to be made of plastic for the first time in this series’ history since the S6 generation ditched it in favor of glass.
