Samsungis expected to unveil theGalaxy Z Flip 3in the coming months, and a new leak gives us our first proper look at the petite foldable – along with theSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 3.
Alleged promotional material for the upcoming foldables has been shared by@TheGalox_on Twitter, showing the likely design of both handsets, but the Z Flip 3 appears to have the biggest visual changes over its predecessor.
For one thing, there’s a new two-tone design which will seem immediately familiar to fans of theGoogle Pixel 2from 2017, a phone which was often referred to as the ‘panda’ phone for its cute black and white finish.
The images also show a much larger cover display than the 1.1-inch secondary screen found on the originalSamsung Galaxy Z Flip. That tiny screen was one of our biggest issues with that handset, so this would be a welcome change.
The display on the Galaxy Z Flip 3 appears to cover most of the black section on the phone, though there are two cameras at one side. The phone apparently comes in dark green, light violet, beige, grey, black, pink, dark blue and white shades, and all of the colors shown also include a black section housing the secondary screen.
Meanwhile, leaked images of theSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 3show a triple-lens camera setup on the rear, likely to be a primary, ultra-wide and telephoto combination.
Black, silver and green colors are shown, with a beige color also mentioned, and the gap at the hinge between the two halves of the folding screen seems to be smaller than on theSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 2.

The source claims that the Samsung Z Fold 3will support touch input via the S Pen, which we’ve heard before, and more excitingly that it will be the first foldable with an under-display selfie camera - one which apparently works better than ZTE’s attempt in theZTE Axon 20 5G. This too we’veheard multiple times.
Finally, both phones apparently have flat aluminum sides and are protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. We would of course take all of this with a pinch of salt for now though.
With theSamsung Galaxy Note 21likely delayed to 2022, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 will probably be Samsung’s flagship offerings for the second half of this year. They’re expected to beunveiled in June or July, so we might not have too long to wait.
