Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 all color variants just leaked in high-res renders
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is 2021’s most anticipated smartphone from Samsung. After the suspension of the Galaxy Note this year, the company is making several efforts to fill the gap with its new foldable phones as the Fold 3 is rumored to come with S Pen support.
While the next Unpacked event is tipped to be held on August 3rd, a new report from 91mobiles reveals all the upcoming color variants and design aspects of the Galaxy Z Fold 3. According to the info, this device is expected to come in three color options Black, White & Olive Green.
Just like the previously leaked render, the newly appeared image shows the traditional punch-hole selfie camera, which clearly denies the rumor of the arrival of the under-display camera technology with the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Meanwhile, the device has a side-mounted fingerprint reader and a triple-camera setup at the rear.
As per the report, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 sports a 7.55-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-O foldable display inside, while a 6.23-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-O cover display on the outside. At the same time, both of these displays feature a 120Hz higher refresh rate for smoother animations.
Coming to the imaging department, Samsung’s next Galaxy Z Fold model is likely to feature a 10MP selfie camera on the cover display and a 16MP selfie camera on the foldable display. On the other hand, it could have a 12MP triple-camera setup on the rear.

However, Samsung is yet to confirm the release date of its upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 foldable smartphone, but it could be launched in August this year, most probably on August 3. At the same time, these devices will come with a new One UI version 3.1.1 instead of One UI 3.5.
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.

Another report says Apple will begin mass production of its first foldable iPhone in late 2026. It indicates that the company is preparing to introduce the foldable iPhone by 2026. Meanwhile, Samsung is preparing to launch the sixth-generation foldable products in July this year.
Despite facing challenges in China, Samsung is leading the global foldable market. Meanwhile, Apple’s entry into the foldable market would hurt Samsung the most. The competition is getting fierce and its peak could be seen when the first foldable iPhone lands in the market.
9to5Mac reports that Apple is set to commence mass production of a foldable iPhone in late 2026. The report also states that the company will likely begin mass production of a 20.3-inch foldable device later next year. Previously, this device is slated to launch in 2026 or 2027.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously revealed that the company could launch a 20.3-inch MacBook with a foldable display in 2027. Display supply chain insider Ross Young also highlighted Apple’s development of a 20-inch foldable hybrid device, set for a 2026 or 2027 release.
Trusted source Mark Gurman also said that Apple is “exploring a dual-screen, foldable MacBook/iPad hybrid.” However, the latest report suggests that Apple has “accelerated” its work on foldable devices, with the supply chain showing “increasing visibility.”
It is to be added that foldable devices would introduce a “new line-up for Apple” focused on the “ultra-high-end market.” Apart from a 20.3-inch “foldable device,” the company is exploring 7.9-inches and 8.3-inches screen sizes for a foldable iPhone.
