The Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy Z Flip 5G both launched this year as Samsung’s vertically folding smartphones. Next year, Samsung is expected to launch another model which will arrive as the Galaxy Z Flip 3.
If you are wondering why it is arriving as the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and not Galaxy Z Flip 2, our guess is that they want the naming to sync with that of the next Galaxy Z Fold which will launch as the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Expected to launch in the summer of 2021, some key specs of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 have now been leaked.
The source of the leak is Chun (@chunvn8888), the Vietnamese leaker, and most of the details he revealed focus on the display of the upcoming foldable phone.
According to his tweet, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 will have a 6.9-inch screen with thinner bezels and a smaller hole punch. The first-gen Galaxy Z Flip has a 6.7-inch screen and a 60Hz refresh rate but its successor will pack a slightly larger display that has a 120Hz refresh rate.
New UTG
Much better durability
Let's see if these can aged well but basically confirmed what I said before and yesterday Korean media report— Chun (@chunvn8888) November 25, 2020
Earlier reports have stated that the next-gen Galaxy Z Flip will have a larger outer display but the exact screen size is still unknown. Chun says that the outer display will be 2 to 3 times the size of the first-gen model, which means the screen should be between 2.2 inches and 3.3 inches. Ross Young, the founder of DisplaySearch revealed earlier this month that the outer screen will be smaller than that of the Motorola Razr whose outer screen measures 2.7 inches.
Rounding off details of the display, the leak says that the phone will feature a new UTG (ultra-thin glass) and have better durability.
Another key info revealed in the leak is the battery capacity which is stated as 3900mAh. The real capacity is expected to be smaller, between 3700mAh to 3800mAh. Fans of the Flip series will appreciate the increase in battery capacity from the 3300mAh inside the Galaxy Z Flip.
There is no mention of the camera specs and RAM and storage configuration. There is also no mention of the processor. While folks expect a Snapdragon 875 processor, there is no saying that Samsung won’t surprise us and launch it with an Exynos processor in select markets. Its upcoming Exynos 2100 is said to be more powerful than Qualcomm’s flagship chipset and if Samsung is confident in its chipset, no one can stop them from putting it inside the Galaxy Z Flip 3.
While this should already be known with unverified leaks, we advise that the above details should be taken with a pinch of salt.
