Several rumors have already been aired on the net, suggesting not only the details of Samsung's upcoming foldable smartphones, but also their likely launch. After the launch of the Galaxy S21 outside the traditional schedule of the South Korean giant, it seems that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 2 will also be announced earlier than it normally is.
According to The Elec, a news agency in South Korea, Samsung is scheduling the launch of these models for next summer, that is, in July. This change in schedule appears to be more than a simple market strategy to compete with other models, such as the recently announced Mi Mix Fold.
Furthermore, this could be a good move against Apple, a market rival that has directly threatened and often surpassed Samsung's sales figures. The Cupertino giant has already announced that it is having some problems developing its devices due to the crisis in the semiconductor market, unlike Samsung, which has even done well and shown some advantage over its competitor.
But the source also suggests that the changes in the release date of these new foldables are related to the cancellation of the Galaxy Note 21 this year. In order not to be a gap between the launches of premium/top-of-the-line smartphones, the company wants to compensate its fans with the advance of some important lines of the company's portfolio.

What to expect from the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 2?
According to the latest rumors, the arrival of these two new folding models are related to great news about screen, autonomy and design. Compared to its predecessor, for example, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will have a smaller external display but with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 4380mAh battery.
In addition, it has been speculated that the Z Fold 3 will be the company's first foldable to be integrated with the S Pen, an accessory that until then was exclusive to tablets and the Note line on smartphones, but today it also belongs to the S line.
The Galaxy Z Flip 2 has a more modest design and settings. As it is a model with a simpler mechanism and only one screen, the expected battery is 3200 mAh, which is relatively sufficient for such a model.
Anyway, it looks like Samsung wants to surprise its fans with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 2, and if all goes as planned, it looks like the company will have a chance to further cement its position in the market. of foldable smartphones, mainly as LG announced the closure of its smartphone business.
