New documents from the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have shown that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and the Galaxy Z Flip3 have received FCC certification. They are in the final leg of the processes culminating in the release of the two handsets. Thus, we are a few days away from the start of the 2021 Samsung virtual MWC event, although it is not certain whether these smartphones will be announced during the event.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G

Several speculations and rumors relating to both the Galaxy Z Fold3 and the Z Flip3 devices will be sporting a foldable display. Samsung may soon provide some teasers of the two devices preparatory to their eventual unveiling. For one, the FCC documents confirm that the Z Fold3 will support S pen technology, although there is no built-in slot for the pen. There is also magnetic induction technology present, which makes it possible for the device to be charged wirelessly and charge the stylus.

According to the FCC documents, fast charging support is also available for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3, with a wired charging capacity of 25W, while wireless charging could offer 9W. The 4,275 mAh battery of the device is composed of two cells of almost equal capacity). Ultra-Wide Band feature is also supported for the Galaxy Z Fold3, making it possible for it to serve as a connection hub for Samsung’s SmartTag+. Of course, the high-end Z Fold3 has support for 5G technology.

The Galaxy Z Flip3 is believed to be lacking S pen support and UWB, but wireless (9W) charging is available, and it also has 5G support. The wired charging capacity is 15W for the Flip3, with a battery of 3,273 mAh capacity.

Pricing information is still lacking on both the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3, although we expect the devices to be priced above their predecessors. As we inch closer to an imminent launch, more details relating to the two devices will be provided when they become available.
