Samsung has two foldable devices planned for release this year and they are the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3. Both devices should be announced in August but we don’t have to wait until then to know what they look like. Renders of the Fold 3 have now been posted online, giving us an early look at what Samsung has in store for us at its next Galaxy Unpacked event.
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 will keep the inward folding design of its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 2; so you get an external display and a larger one inside that is foldable. A few days ago, the Chinese leaker, Ice Universe, revealed that the outer display measures 6.23-inches and has a resolution of 2268 x 832 while the inner display is 7.56-inches with a 2208 x 1768 resolution.
Both screens are AMOLED and the inner one has a 120Hz refresh rate. The cover display has a centered punch hole while the inner display has an under-display camera.
While the overall form factor is unchanged as seen in the renders courtesy of 91Mobiles and Digit India in collaboration with OnLeaks, there are still notable differences.
The frame around the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is now flat, though it tapers at the edges. There are still antenna lines visible at the top and bottom and the position of the USB-C port and speaker grille remain unchanged. However, while the holes for the speaker grille are the same number, they are much smaller and spaced apart.
The biggest change with respect to the design is the rear camera housing. Gone is the rectangular island style and in its place is a smaller pill-shaped one. You still get three cameras but the LED flash is now under the third sensor.
Samsung is sticking to a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for the Galaxy Fold 3. It has added support for the S Pen which will most likely be an optional purchase and not bundled with the device.
Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold 2 that comes in Bronze and Back, the Fold 3 will be available in Black, Green, and Gradient Pink/Silver colorways.
