As you may know already, the top of the line S21 Ultra support S Pen. However, neither the phone chassis nor its packaging box has a slot for the said stylus. Rather, it will be sold separately (either individually or bundled with the case). We have seen some leaks of the supposed official cases for the device.

If the leaks and rumors to be believed, you could expect a new Tile competitor called SmartTag and a pair of Galaxy Buds Pro TWS buds among the new launches. Furthermore, following the industrial trend, Samsung is expected to be ditching the charger from the box.
We will see whether all of these are true or not on January 14. So, mark your calendars and set a reminder for 8 PM.
