As reported previously, the company is planning to launch the Galaxy S21 series flagship smartphones in early next year. Not that all, some leaks also arrived for the upcoming foldable smartphone of Samsung, the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Now we have exciting information about these upcoming devices.

According to AjuNews, Samsung has confirmed the release of its upcoming foldable smartphone that could be named the Galaxy Z Fold 3. It will launch in June 2021 and the company has started developing final samples for mass production. Adding to this, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will become the most premium smartphone of Samsung having the advanced technologies of the company like S Pen and Under Display Camera.

The report further claimed that the upcoming Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold 3 will be equipped with the unique feature of the Note series, S Pen. By adding S Pen support to these phones, the company indicating that the Note series will be discontinued.

The South Korean tech giant arranged lots of efforts to apply the S Pen to the Fold series devices. To add the S Pen to the upcoming foldable smartphone Samsung Display and its subsidiary Dowoo Insys developed ultra-thin glass (UTG) technology by replacing transparent polyimide (CPI) film. After changing from plastic to tempered glass, the number of folds and unfolds remained the same.

Adding to this, Samsung also working to place Under Display Camera to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 to provide a true full-screen experience like a tablet PC. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Fold arrived with a notch display and the Galaxy Z Fold 2 comes with a hole punch camera design.

The Under Display Camera (UDC) is an innovative technology that lets to take pictures without a camera hole by placing a camera sensor under the OLED screen. Even, Samsung Display plans to apply a special technology that allows light to pass through and take pictures by spreading the gap between pixels in the part where the front camera is placed.

Still, installing UDC has a technical difficulty of declining the quality of screens and photos, then if the final result adversely affects the user experience, it may be excluded from the actual Galaxy Z Fold 3 mass production.

Pixel 9 samsung modem

Google‘s Pixel 9 series is ready to introduce a significant upgrade with emergency satellite connectivity and new Samsung modem. This series aims to solve the persistent connectivity problems seen in previous Pixel models.

According to the information via AndroidAuthority, Samsung Modem 5400 will be integrated with Tensor G4 chips for the Pixel 9 series to bring significant improvements in terms of speed, power efficiency, and stability

The Pixel 9’s modem will support 5G non-terrestrial networks (NTN), which means it will enable satellite-based communication. This is particularly important for emergencies where standard network coverage is unavailable.

Moreover, this innovative feature is not exclusive to the Pixel 9. The next-generation Pixel Fold and a 5G tablet, currently under development, will also be equipped with the same modem.

One of the most notable features of this upgrade is the ability to connect with emergency services via satellite, which is crucial for users in areas without cellular coverage. To facilitate this, Google has implemented a system that guides users through a set of questions, allowing for quick communication with emergency responders. For example,

  • What happened?
  • [Are you/Are they/Is everyone] breathing?
  • In total, how many people are [missing/trapped]?
  • What best describes your situation?
  • What is on fire?
  • Are there weapons involved?

Although the release details for the 5G tablet are still unclear, the Pixel 9 series is expected to lead the way in mobile communication technology, ensuring users can remain connected in any location.
