Samsung to offer microSD card slot on Galaxy S21 Ultra, S21 / S21+ to miss out
Samsung Galaxy S21 series is all set to be unveiled on January 14 at the UnPacked event. However, ahead of the launch, the smartphones have been leaking left and right. Almost everything, from the camera details to the stylus-equipped covers has already leaked online. As if that was not enough, a new tweet reveals the information about microSD card slots on the upcoming phones.
As per tipster Roland Quandt, the Galaxy S21 Ultra will be the only S21 member to come with expandable memory in Europe. However, it remains to be seen if this will be the case in other regions. Although it’s highly likely that this model will be made available globally. He goes on to say that the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+ will not have microSD card slots. You can expect Samsung to offer these smartphones with 128GB of base storage.
