Earlier this month, it was reported that Samsung Galaxy Z Flip will launch in Summer 2021. While the reasons for the postponement were unknown, TheElec now says that Samsung has removed it to avoid the overlap of demand for both the S series and Foldable devices.
According to the report, Samsung will focus on popularizing the foldable after the Galaxy S21 launch. It apparently sensed the attraction of foldable devices. Similarly, a DSCC report recently predicted Galaxy Z Flip as the top-selling foldable for 2020. All this means that Samsung can’t afford to lose one eye for another. The company began the year with a vision of spearheading the foldable devices market individually.
However, the S series got over-shadowed by the Galaxy Z Flip. This was evident with poor sales of Samsung Galaxy S20 in Q1. Add to this, the S20 Ultra’s Exynos version had various issues like throttling in Performance, Camera, and Battery life. And now, with the report saying that Samsung has already limited the initial production of Galaxy S21 to 6 million units, it just can’t repeat the mistake again.
Accordingly, the Galaxy S21 series is likely to launch a month earlier. That said, the Galaxy Z Flip 2 is reportedly going to be one of the five foldable models next year. Citing industry insiders, the report says that successors of Galaxy Z Flip(likely Z Flip2) and Z Fold(likely Z Fold3) will launch next year.
Additionally, three new foldable smartphones are under development. And we feel that one of them could very well be the affordable Galaxy Z Flip Lite that is said to come with a UTG display. Anyhow, the Galaxy Z Flip2 itself hasn’t appeared much on the radar of leaks.
It is likely to darn a display larger than the Z Flip(1.1-inch) but smaller than the Motorola Razr. Considering, it’s coming in June 2021, we can expect features like Snapdragon 875 SoC, 5G, fast charging, and more.
