As for the camera, the devices are likely to have a triple rear camera and a 10-megapixel front-facing camera. The 64-megapixel telephoto sensor with OIS is what is likely to differentiate the phones from their predecessor, the S20. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is rumoured to have a 108-megapixel primary sensor.
S-Pen
The phones are also likely to come with support for the S-Pen, a feature exclusive to the Galaxy Note so far.
