Verizon-customized variations of Samsung's next three flagship phones (presumably named Galaxy S21, S21 Plus and S21 Ultra) have all just leaked, if for no other reason than the tech giant's own community support forum

Three separate strings of codes attributed to model numbers SM-G991U, SM-G996U and SM-G998U, all bearing the "VZW" designation, were posted on Samsung's Korean forum and made their way to us via PhoneArena

The code doesn't give much away; it doesn't tell us whether Samsung plans to name the series the Galaxy S21 or the Galaxy S30, nor does it tell us anything about the device's software or hardware, whether it has RAM or internal chipset, whether it has to do with the amount of RAM or the chipset inside

Thankfully, however, another Galaxy S21 leak from a few days ago, through China's 3C certification board, suggested battery capacity for two of the three models From the looks of it, the S21 and S21 Plus will feature 3,880mAh and 4,660mAh units, slightly less and more than their respective predecessors in these phones

Since these are Verizon models, we can assume that they are compatible with Big Red's millimeter wave (mmWave) 5G network Verizon is working to deliver long-range 5G by the end of 2020, as T-Mobile and AT&T have already done

What makes this leak somewhat interesting is that Verizon's own network requirements forced the carrier to forego offering the smallest Galaxy S20 in its first few months of existence

Samsung and Verizon then fixed this over the summer with a dedicated model that made proper provision for mmWave 5G, sacrificing some RAM However, based on the leaks, it appears that the entry-level S21 model is destined to be released by Verizon

As for other rumors surrounding the Galaxy S21, Samsung is reportedly considering offering an S Pen with the S21 Ultra, which may result in the end of the Galaxy Note series line

The Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra were released just last month, and while both are among the best large phones you can buy and are made more versatile by the S Pen stylus, many of their distinctive software and productivity features are actually will also be available in the form of updates to existing Galaxy flagships In other words, there is nothing that the new Note can do that the Galaxy S20 cannot, and in a sense, the Note's raison d'etre is undermined

Other than that, we are still waiting for more information on what Samsung has planned for its 2021 flagship, and with the Note 20 announced, we can expect rumors and leaks to start flowing in earnest over the next spring
