Galaxy Z Flip 3 leak claims clamshell will pack a key Fold 3 design feature
Samsung has a big Unpacked press conference planned for early August. That’s where the next-gen Galaxy Note would arrive, but there’s no Note 21 this year. Samsung is doing things differently this summer, as it’s looking to boost its foldable smartphone sales. Reports say that Samsung has already started Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3 mass-production, aiming to sell seven million units between the two of them.
The two foldables are the direct successors of the Fold 2 and the original Flip that launched last year. Both the Fold 3 and Flip 3 are supposed to deliver several key upgrades over the 2020 versions. That’s what most rumors and leaks said over the past few months. Most of those rumors focused on the Fold 3, however. The Fold 3 is the kind of flagship device that could keep the Note legacy alive. It will reportedly feature a large screen and S Pen functionality. These are the Note’s signature feature that made it so popular with fans.
A brand new leak delivers more details about the Flip 3 design, the smallest foldable of the two. The latest rumor makes a bold claim about the Flip successor, saying the handset will also pack one of the Fold 3’s most anticipated design features.
Galaxy Z Fold 3 is the king of foldable leaks
An increasing number of rumors and leaks paint the same Fold 3 picture when it comes to design, build quality, and specs. The foldable handset will look almost like the Fold 2 and Fold, although it should sport better build quality. The phone should be more durable than its predecessors, including a next-gen Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) screen cover that will make S Pen functionality possible.
Running the show will be a high-end processor of the Qualcomm or Exynos variety. More interestingly, Samsung might bring its AMD GPU to smartphones starting with the Fold 3.
