Samsung’s next range of Galaxy S flagship smartphones will likely be launched on January 14, a report citing Samsung’s largest mobile experience store in India has said.

It is also being reported that Samsung stores in India are taking pre-orders for the Galaxy S21 series for an advanced fee of Rs 2,000.

The report in Android Authority claims that Samsung stores in India have confirmed the exact India sale date for the Samsung Galaxy S21 series as well as the fact that the smartphone will be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2100 chipset in the country. The report says that the January 14 date is a global launch. However, when reached out to by The Verge, Samsung responded saying that it does not comment on rumours or speculation. Further, SamMobile said that a Samsung official in the company’s local offices has also confirmed the development, and the smartphone is most likely to be launched on January 14.

The Android Authority report says that the sales for the Galaxy S21 series may commence on January 29 in India as stocks will reach the country a week after the global launch, executives at a Samsung store in Bengaluru told the website.
