The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold3 promises to revolutionize the smartphone market with its pioneering foldable display and concealed camera technology beneath the screen.
This revelation is virtually certain as leaked promotional material for the Z Fold3 confirms its status as the first foldable smartphone equipped with this cutting-edge technology.
This development is particularly intriguing considering Samsung had yet to introduce under-display cameras in its flagship lineup, such as the Galaxy S21 series launched earlier in 2021, opting instead to reserve such innovation for the Galaxy Z series.
While several companies have commercialized similar technology, real-world experiences have often fallen short of expectations. Consequently, anticipation within the community is high for Samsung's solution.
Regarding other specifications, the @evleaks account revealed that the Z Fold3's camera setup includes 3 rear sensors with a resolution of 12 MP each, although details about the other 2 lenses remain unclear. Additionally, there's a 10 MP front-facing camera and a 4 MP under-display sensor inside.
Meanwhile, the Z Flip3 will feature a dual rear camera setup with 12 MP resolution and a 10 MP front-facing camera, with other specifications similar to the first generation Z Flip.
Cameras will be a significant highlight of this year's Galaxy Z series, sparking numerous questions about how Samsung will optimize the display of the hidden camera or whether the 4 MP resolution sensor is somewhat low for 2021 standards,...
The first foldable smartphones to meet IPX8 water resistance standards
Numerous reliable sources have confirmed that the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 will feature IPX8 water resistance. It's quite intriguing considering these are foldable smartphones, yet Samsung has found a way to incorporate water resistance standards into them.
For those unaware, IPX8 ensures your device is protected against continuous immersion in water at depths greater than 1 meter. Specific conditions are determined by the manufacturer for each device.
This means that the Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 are only waterproof for now, with no information available regarding dust resistance. For more detailed information about water and dust resistance standards, you can refer to this article.
The S Pen makes its debut appearance on the Z Fold3 generation for the first time
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is expected to be Samsung's first foldable phone integrated with the S Pen, enhancing user interaction with the smartphone and transforming it into a true productivity tool.
Earlier this year, the company equipped the Galaxy S21 Ultra with the S Pen and teased a S Pen Pro variant, but details have been kept under wraps. Hence, users are eagerly anticipating the arrival of this magical stylus alongside the Z Fold3 in the upcoming event.
The S Pen opens up significant usage potential for smartphones, especially devices with large tablet-like displays like the Z Fold series.
The S Pen Pro will be even more powerful with Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) connectivity. In addition to basic features like touch and drawing on the screen, the stylus will be able to perform tasks such as taking photos and controlling remote operations.
The most powerful Android configuration in the world
Multiple sources have confirmed that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will utilize a Dynamic AMOLED 2X display panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate, measuring 7.6 inches with a resolution of 1,768 x 2,208 pixels. For the external display, Samsung will equip an AMOLED panel measuring 6.23 inches with a resolution of 816 x 2,260 pixels.
Powering the device is either the Snapdragon 888 or Exynos 2100 processor depending on the market, coupled with options for 12 GB or 16 GB of RAM, and internal storage available in 256 GB and 512 GB variants.
The Z Flip3 also boasts a formidable configuration with a similar processor, 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of internal storage, and a 3,300 mAh battery. The external display measures 1.9 inches, while the large internal display measures 6.7 inches with a 120Hz refresh rate.
Galaxy Z Fold3 and Flip3 are practically at the top of the Android world in terms of specifications. These significant upgrades will undoubtedly enhance the multitasking capabilities and smooth performance of foldable smartphones, handling demanding tasks with ease.
The price tags of Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 are incredibly enticing
According to leaks from @FrontTron, the prices of Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 have been leaked in the home market of South Korea.
It's reported that the Fold3 will be priced from 1,900,000 KRW to 1,999,000 KRW (approximately 38.2 million VND to 40.2 million VND), while the Galaxy Z Flip3 will have a retail price ranging from 1,200,000 KRW to 1,280,000 KRW (around 24.1 million VND to 25.8 million VND).
To compare, the Galaxy Z Fold2 was released in South Korea last year with a starting price of 2,398,000 KRW (approximately 48.2 million VND), while the Galaxy Z Flip was priced at 1,650,000 KRW (around 33.2 million VND).
It's evident that the prices of this year's foldable duo have decreased significantly. It seems that after three generations of producing foldable smartphones, Samsung has optimized its production line and achieved better pricing, making them more accessible to the majority of users, especially since these two products are positioned as flagship replacements for the Galaxy Note series at the end of the year.
Let's look forward to the exciting upcoming event
Judging from the features mentioned above, it's impossible to overlook the unveiling of this year's Galaxy Z series, right? We'll have smartphones packed with cutting-edge technology: Foldable displays, under-display cameras, S Pen support, water resistance,...
Here, I've summarized the rumors and expectations of users regarding the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 duo.
