Samsunghas gone big on foldables in 2020, but expect even more bending handsets from the company in 2021. A new report out of South Korea gives us a bit more of an idea about what to expect in terms of Samsung foldables next year.

According toThe Elec, which is usually a reliable source of information, we’ll be getting the more affordable Galaxy Z Fold Lite in the first quarter of 2021, to be followed by the Galaxy Z Flip 2 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 flagships in the third quarter of 2021.

We’ve been hearing rumblings about a less expensive version of the Galaxy Foldfor several months now– it’s an approach Samsung has taken with its other phones in recent years, and it would help attract users currently put off by the high prices of foldables.

There have also beenrumors of a Galaxy Z Flip Liteas well – using a clamshell design – so we could see as many as four foldables from Samsung next year. None of this is confirmed yet though, and it’s very possible that Samsung’s plans will change along the way.

Those foldables in full

The sources speaking to The Elec say that both the Galaxy Z Fold Lite and theGalaxy Z Fold 3will come with a screen that measures 7 inches corner to corner, with a 4-inch display on the outside when the device is closed shut.

We’re apparently also going toget stylus supportand anunder-display selfie cameraon the Galaxy Z Fold 3 – rumors we’ve heard before. It’s not clear whether these features will make it to the lower-cost Z Fold Lite though.

As for the Galaxy Z Flip 2, the leaks and speculation so farpoint to ithaving a bigger screen and battery than the original. The new report puts the main screen at 6.7 inches, and the external screen at 3 inches.

With the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and theGalaxy Z Flip 5Gonly unveiled in August, Samsung will want to leave some time before the updated versions appear – and that fits in with the Q3 prediction. Before that, we should see the Z Fold Lite, as well as theGalaxy S21 phones.
