Samsung has announced its hotly-anticipated ‘Galaxy Unpacked’ event will take place on January 14.
The South Korean tech giant is expected to reveal its latest flagship smartphone range, including the 5G-compatible Galaxy S21, at the virtual unveiling at 10am EST (7am PST/3pm GMT).
In a 12-second video the company says ‘welcome to the everyday epic’ with an accompanying spinning cube.
Inside the cube appears to be a blurry render of the recently-leaked rear-camera module.

Android Police last month revealed there will be three phones in the S21 range: the S21, S21 Plus and the S21 Ultra.
In three official-looking promotional clips, purportedly obtained from Samsung sources, a three-camera rear module is the star feature.
It appears the same camera setup is what is inside the spinning cube of the invitation to the upcoming Samsung event, all but confirming the imminent release of the latest Galaxy device.
January’s tech announcements are normally dominated by CES, the tech extravaganza held in Las Vegas, with Samsung settling into a yearly routine of holding its keynote event in late February.
But with Mobile World Congress – the annual February event in Barcelona where the year’s upcoming mobile phones are often launched – moved to June due to the coronavirus pandemic, Samsung has decided to accelerate its usual timetable.
As a result the upcoming Samsung announcement will clash with the last day of CES, which will be held between January 11 and 14.

A series of leaks has provided a good ideas as to what the Samsung S21 range will look like, with three screen sizes – 6.2, 6.7 and 6.9 inches.
All three handsets will have a high-end 120Hz display and a reduced bottom bezel as well as the camera module being thinner and flatter than on its predecessor.
Internal specs remain more elusive, with a speculated 8GB of RAM and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor for US customers and an Exynos 2100 chip for the rest of the world.
But the focus of the new devices appears to be the camera, with a believed three lenses, probably a 12MP main, 12MP ultra-wide and 64MP telephoto.
With the module also appearing in the video teaser it seems set to be the focal point of the unveiling and the phone’s design.
