It looks likeSamsungis going to make sure you can’t miss theGalaxy Z Flip 3when it breaks cover, with the upcoming foldable clamshell rumored to be available in no fewer than eight different colors when it arrives.
Those colors are light purple, black, green, beige, matte gray, white, dark blue and dark pink,as per a sourcein South Korea (viaSamMobile). You’re certainly not going to be lacking in choices if you decide this is going to be your next phone upgrade.
The current Galaxy Z Flip 5G is available in just three colors, given grand names by Samsung: Mystic Grey, Mystic Bronze and Mystic White. This time around, it looks as though Samsung might be following the lead of the iPhone 12, which comes in six shades.
Don’t worry, you haven’t missed the Galaxy Z Flip 2: we had the originalSamsung Galaxy Z Flip, then we had the 5G upgrade, which is essentially the Flip 2, and next we’re going to get the Flip 3, so the numbering falls into line with theGalaxy Z Fold 3as well.
Other Z Flip 3 rumors
So what else do we know about the upcoming clamshell? It sounds as thoughsome form of water resistanceis going to be added for the first time, which is no easy feat considering how many moving and bendable parts are included here.
There hasalso been talkof a stronger ‘Armor Frame’ around the sides of both the Z Flip 3 and the Z Fold 3, perhaps made out of carbon, titanium or stainless steel – if that’s indeed the case it would certainly add some extra durability to the phone.
The screen size of the new phonehas been tippedas being 6.7 inches when opened out fully, with a 3-inch screen on the outside – that external screen would be significantly bigger than the one on its predecessor, though it would appear that the overall dimensions of the phone will be similar to those of the previous models.

As for a launch date, theGalaxy Z Flip 3could arrive as early as July according to the latest rumors, though that’s by no means certain. It sounds very much like the phone will launch at the same time as the Galaxy Z Fold 3, giving you a choice of two new Samsung foldables for your 2021 upgrade.
