However, foldable smartphones have not yet arrived in the mainstream, but several phone makers are continuously working on this segment, and this technology is maturing gradually. As Samsung is the leader in this field, it has not only launched the Galaxy Fold and Z Fold 2 but also introduced the Galaxy Z Flip, which looks fashionable and portable.

Moving on, the South Korean tech giant is preparing to unveil its next generation of foldable phones and it’s expected that there will be two different models – Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3. So far, we’ve encountered multiple leaks, now another one has been added to this list in the form of high-resolution rendering of the next clamshell-type folding phone.

LetsGoDigital again brought us a new rendering of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, which shows the same appearance as the previously exposed renders. According to the concept image, the biggest upgrade in the design of this device is that it uses a two-color contrast design, equipped with dual cameras, and the size will be slightly larger than the first Galaxy Z Flip.

Furthermore, the report suggests that Samsung will use Corning Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and back of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 so that the frame and screen will become more durable than before as well as more scratch-resistant.

As per the previous reports, the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 3 features the same top and bottom flip design as the original Galaxy Z Flip. It is expected to feature a 6.7-inch dynamic AMOLED screen that supports a 120Hz refresh rate. It still uses a center-punched design, but the screen bezel and proactive aperture are smaller, while the screen-to-body ratio is higher.

Apart from this, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 will be equipped with the latest Snapdragon 888 processor, which could bring the most powerful performance. In terms of optics, it will have two 12-megapixel cameras on the rear in a truly new camera system. Meanwhile, it could be packed with a smaller 3300mAh battery with 25W wired fast charging and 15W fast wireless charging.

Lastly, Samsung has not made an official announcement for the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3. But, multiple reports suggest that the company will introduce its next-generation bendable smartphones somewhere in July this year and the Flip 3 could cost lesser than its predecessor.

Sorry Sony, Apple iPhone set to use 48MP Samsung camera

Samsung Apple Canalys q4 2023

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.

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.
