After launching the Galaxy S21 series earlier this year, Samsung was expected to launch the Galaxy Note 21 phones in the third quarter. Meanwhile, the company has officially confirmed that it will not ship new Note models this year due to an imbalance between parts and supply.
Aside from this, the Korean tech giant is preparing to unveil new foldable smartphones in the third quarter that could be the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 2. As we’re months away from the launching of these foldable phones, but there are some certifications that surfaced online revealed the battery capacity of the upcoming clamshell-type model.
According to the latest information, three regulatory agencies including 3C, SafetyKorea, and DEKRA have recently published some approved applications, which hints that the next Galaxy Z Flip phone will have a dual battery system, same as the first-gen Galaxy Z Flip.
Moreover, the rated capacity of the main battery unit is 2300mAh and the typical capacity is 2370mAh. On the other hand, the secondary battery has a rated capacity of 903mAh, which is paired with the first one.

Previous reports reveal that the Galaxy Z Flip 2/3 will feature several design upgrades over its predecessor. Furthermore, it will have a 120Hz refresh rate display, the latest system-on-chip, and more. As of now, you can take this info as a pinch of salt and we’ll keep you posted whenever new data arrives on this matter.
LG Innotek is supplying CoF for budget and mid-range Samsung smartphones this year. Despite the CoF supply chain formed by the Korean govt., Stemco still has the upper hand in overall volume and model-specific volume in the Samsung CoF market.
TheElec notes that LG Innotek is not making progress in Samsung smartphones’ CoF (chip-on-film) market. Back in 2021, Korean govt formed a local CoF supply chain, but Japan’s Stemco still has an edge over LG Innotek in the Samsung smartphone CoF market.
As of 2024, LG Innotek and PI Advanced Materials are still supplying CoF and related materials for Samsung’s affordable phones like the Galaxy A5 series. Pay attention, the lower lineup of the Galaxy A series and Galaxy M series uses the CoG method, mounting chips on glass substrates.
LG Innotek’s CoF production line operation rate is expected to reach around 70% this year. Beyond Samsung, LG Innotek supplies smartphone CoFs to Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Notably, G Innotek’s revenue was 20.6 trillion won last year.

Samsung is expected to hold its next Unpacked event in Paris right before the 2024 Olympics kicks off. The tentative date is July 10, when the company will introduce Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Z Fold 6 Ultra. More products including the Watch 7 series and Galaxy Ring are expected.
As the company still has around two months to unveil, there will be further performance improvements. Global consumers might be disappointed as the Exynos is expected to power some units. It might harm some sales but Samsung has to do it to maintain the cost-cutting.
