Samsung's next flagship, the Galaxy S21, has been subject to a lot of leaks, so much so that the official wallpapers apparently due to come with the device have now also been leaked. They were revealed by Samsung tipster Jimmy Is Promo, who talked through them in a video on YouTube. Those who want to make their smartphones look like a soon-to-be-released Samsung flagship can easily download the wallpapers to do so.
As with any major smartphone release now, speculation, rumors, and leaks about the Galaxy S21 line have been rife. Early last month a release date of January 2021 for the standard, Plus, and Ultra models was being touted and it seems to have since been confirmed as January 14. Among the other details supposedly leaked are images and videos showing designs, apparent confirmation of Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 2100 processors for U.S. and international variants, information about the updated camera arrays on the new devices, and their battery capacities.
As explained by Jimmy is Promo in his YouTube video, there are a selection of standard wallpapers, wallpapers that are compatible with Samsung DeX, which allows users to extend their into devices for use as a desktop-like experience, and live wallpapers. They all take the form of splashes of color reminiscent of flowers, brushstrokes, or, as mentioned in the video, glitter bombs. They're perfectly pleasant but pretty generic, as you might expect of a smartphone's official wallpapers.
Jimmy is Promo has helpfully uploaded the wallpapers to the MediaFire file-sharing platform. There, users can browse the file name, preview the files, and download them should any take their fancy. In total, there are 12 of the standard wallpapers, four DeX wallpapers, and six of the live wallpapers, which come as small video files.
Once a file has been downloaded, users just need to set it as the wallpaper for their device. The standard images will display as static wallpapers that scroll with the screen, while the live wallpapers will flow and meld slightly. It's also possible to set the live wallpapers as the lock screen view on a Samsung device and then to press and hold the screen to see the video play through. Of course, if the rumors are correct, those planning to buy a Galaxy S21 needn't wait too long before they'll be able to get their hands on these wallpapers without needing to download them.
