Samsung has regained the top spot in the global smartphone market and now to strengthen its position as a market leader, it seems that the South Korean giant is looking to launch new smartphones in August this year.

As per the report coming from Korea, Samsung is currently in talks with local network carriers related to the launch of its new smartphone models in the coming months, including the Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Z Flip 3.

If this report turns out to be true, then the company will be launching the smartphones earlier than its usual schedule of launch in September. The devices could fill the gap of the Galaxy Note-series phones that are usually launched in the month of August. Samsung has hinted that the company won’t be launching new Note-series phones this year.

The company had also launched its flagship Galaxy S-series smartphones of the year — the Samsung Galaxy S21 lineup in January, about a month earlier than its usual timeline to take on Apple as its new iPhone 12 series was in demand.

This new report about smartphones launch in August is in line with the previous reports. The Galaxy S21 FE will reportedly go into mass production in July and will be available for purchase a month later. The upcoming foldable smartphones from the company are also expected to launch in August with some new features.

Recently, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 appeared with its SM-F7110 model number on the  3C certification website which shows that the 5G phone may ship with a 15W charger. Nothing more is revealed in the listing but the phone may soon appear in TENAA’s database with more details in the coming weeks. There’s a possibility that the phone may come with support for S-Pen.

According to the report from Strategy Analytics, Samsung was the world’s top smartphone vendor in the first quarter of this year (Q1 2021) with shipments of 77 million units, accounting for a 23 percent market share.
