Breaking: Samsung’s mini roadmap reveals several upcoming devices, Galaxy S21 FE to launch on August 19
Samsung has recently launched its three new smartphones – Galaxy A52, A52 5G, and A72 at the Galaxy Awesome Unpacked event. However, it’s just the company’s second Unpacked of 2021 and we’ll see more launch events this year. Meanwhile, a reliable source shared the product roadmap that confirms several upcoming gadgets that will launch in the near future.
According to Evan Blass (via Voice), the South Korean tech giant will hold another Unpacked event on April 14, 2021, where the company will unveil new computing devices such as Chrome-powered Galaxy Chromebook and Windows-powered Galaxy Book laptops.
June 2021:
However, there will be no event scheduled in May, while the OEM will introduce an affordable variant of the Galaxy Tab S7 flagship tablets, the Galaxy Tab S7 Lite in June this year. Samsung started releasing the affordable tablets with the Galaxy Tab S5e and later it was succeeded by the last year’s Galaxy Tab S6 Lite.
July 2021:
After launching a cheaper flagship tablet, Samsung is expected to launch another Galaxy A series device that will be the successor to the Galaxy A21 and Galaxy A21s in July 2021. It is worth mentioning that the Galaxy A22 5G has already leaked several times and it will also debut in both 4G and 5G variants.
Aside from the leaked roadmap, Evan said that the company has not mentioned another Galaxy A series phone – the Galaxy A82 5G that is likely to be unveiled during around the same period as the Galaxy A22. Moreover, this handset may be equipped with an innovative rotating camera setup, just like the Galaxy A80 that was launched back in 2019.
August 19, 2021:
And finally, the most-anticipated Galaxy S21 FE, the affordable variant of the latest Galaxy S21 flagships will be introduced on August 19, 2021, wait wait, but it’s the time for Galaxy Unpacked for Note! Confused, right? I can explain, Samsung CEO has recently confirmed that there’s no plan for the next Galaxy Note phones during the second half due to a shortage of parts and semiconductors.
So, it is another evidence that authenticates that Samsung will not launch the Galaxy Note 21 series this year but it will hold the Galaxy Unpacked event at the same time where the Galaxy S21 FE will go official. Therefore, if we take a look at the previous leaks and reports from Evan, we’ll find a good track that’s why he is known as a reliable source.
We’ll keep you posted when any new information comes on this matter.

After OLED, Samsung is entering Apple’s CIS supply chain. Ming-Chi Kuo today revealed that Samsung could start shipping 48MP camera for Apple iPhone models as early as 2026. It’s a big blow to Apple’s conventional image supplier, Sony.
For years, Sony has dominated Apple’s iPhone camera supply chain. The entry of Samsung in the Apple iPhone 48MP camera supply is certain in early 2026. The source mentioned that Samsung had to form a dedicated team to serve Apple.
As Samsung’s supply could start in 2026, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 may still use Sony sensors. As the Korean tech giant preps for supply, Apple may have considered completing its agreement/contract with Sony for the iPhone camera.
Ming-Chi Kuo’s article reads:
- Samsung is expected to begin shipping 1/2.6-inch 48MP ultra-wide CMOS image sensors (CIS) to Apple for iPhones as early as 2026, breaking Sony’s years-long monopoly on supplying CIS to Apple. To this end, Samsung has established a dedicated team to serve Apple.
The gap of nearly two years would result in some changes in camera supply. The iPhone maker may also opt for a multi-vendor strategy to freeze prices. Having more than a single supply chain partner empowers the manufacturer during price negotiation.
Kuo notes that Samsung will supply a 1/2.6-inch image sensor for iPhone. The product will have a 48-megapixel resolution. It will likely be used as an ultra-wide camera in future iPhones, while others will still be from Sony.
Samsung announced its most anticipated foldable phones on July 10 in Paris. Yesterday, Honor launched the new Magic V3, which challenges the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with a thinner design and some cool specs. The new Honor foldable is considerably thin compared to the phones available.
Honor’s new Magic V3 measures 9.2mm (camera bump not included) in its folded state. It goes further slimmer to 4.35mm when you unfold its 7.92-inch main screen. Oops, there’s a clearly visible hole for the camera on the inner display, with Galaxy Z Fold 6 featuring UDC for years.
The Chinese vendor managed to make its new foldable slimmer with an upgraded hinge of 2.84mm thickness. It won’t break before 500,000 folds while the frame is made from 7-series aluminum alloy. It’s the most highlighting spec that makes it superior to its Samsung counterpart.
Samsung reduced the weight of the Z Fold 6 to 239 grams but the Magic V3 weighs just 226 grams. Honor also brought IPX8 water resistance to the Magic V3, making it the first in the lineup to feature official protection against water insertion.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 packs a 4400mAh battery, but Honor’s Magic V3 has an edge here too. It boasts a 5150mAh silicon-carbon battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. Both devices use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, offering robust performance and efficiency.
Honor Magic V3 comes with a 6.43-inch LTPO cover screen with FHD+ resolution. It’s also rated for 2,500 nits peak brightness and supports stylus input. Notably, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 also supports S Pen input but on the inner panel only with a special pen crafted by Samsung.
In terms of optics, the Magic V3 features a 50MP primary with OIS, a 50MP Periscope with 3.5x optical zoom, and a 40MP ultrawide camera. The cover and main screens also house 20MP front-facing cameras. It lacks under-display camera technology which arrived 3rd time on a Samsung Fold.
Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 6 Olympic Edition, a bespoke smartphone designed exclusively for athletes competing in the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It will be provided to around 17,000 athletes participating in Paris 2024.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 special edition smartphone introduces Galaxy AI in an Olympic Edition to enhance athletes’ efficiency and connectivity throughout their Paris journey.
This smartphone features a striking yellow design adorned with iconic Olympic rings and Paralympic agitos in gold. By collaborating with Parasina Men’s luxury Maison Berluti, Samsung has designed a unique Flipsuit Case made from Venezia leather, inspired by the Olympic rings.
