With the rumors of Samsung mulling the demise of the popular Note lineup, a report suggests that the company is prepping three new foldables to replace it next year. The OLED researchers from UBI Research (via TheElec) confirm that Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Fold Lite, and the Galaxy Z Flip 2 in 2021.
Galaxy Z Fold 3
The Galaxy Z Fold 2 was a massive leap over the company’s first-gen foldables. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 will arrive with a similar design and a smaller display. The research firm says that you will find a 7-inch foldable screen on the inside – down from 7.6-inch, and a 4-inch screen on the outside – also smaller than the existing 6.2-inch screen of the Z Fold 2.
The Galaxy Z Fold Lite will follow in the Z Fold 3’s footsteps, with the same screen size both on the inside and outside. Two features will set it apart and lower the foldable’s price tag. It will have a punch-hole selfie camera instead of an under-display module, and a mid-range chipset instead of the flagship Snapdragon/ Exynos chipset.
The Galaxy Z Flip 2 will feature the same 6.7-inch foldable screen on the inside like its predecessor. The tiny 1.1-inch outer display that sat next to the camera will be swapped out for a bigger 3-inch display, as per the report. This means Galaxy Z Flip 2 will finally serve as the perfect Moto Razr 5G alternative. Samsung might allow you to access some key features and apps on the outside screen.
