TL;DR
  • A last-minute Galaxy S21 series leak has dished out plenty of marketing videos.
  • One of the videos shows the Galaxy S21 Ultra S-Pen case in action.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 series launch is but a few hours away, but we already have a great idea of what to expect from the occasion. Now, serial leaker Evan Blass has posted a ton of marketing video footage to leave nothing to the imagination.

The videos show everything from camera specs and modes to colorways and more. We also get a couple of clips focused on UWB functionality and the Galaxy Buds Pro‘s intelligent active noise cancellation. But we’re particularly interested in a video showing off the Galaxy S21 Ultra S-Pen. Check it out below.

We get a close look at the S21 Ultra along with a case that holds the S-Pen on the left-hand side. This does add a fair bit of thickness to the left side, but it doesn’t seem thick to the point of major discomfort. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the leaked S-Pen case, but we do get a look at the actual process of removing it for usage.

Otherwise, the clip shows a user tapping, scrolling, and doodling with the digital pen. The phone is also expected to support Air View functionality, delivering extra features (e.g. image previews) by hovering the S-Pen over specific areas of the screen. We’ll likely get a good look at this functionality and more in a few hours’ time.
