According to GizNext, the phone will be available in as many as eight different color options at launch: beige, grey, black, pink, blue, green, violet, and white. While the inner screen is likely to remain largely unchanged in terms of size, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is rumored to sport a larger 1.9-inch cover display. Under the hood, the phone may have the same 5nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset as the Galaxy S21 series.
As per a recent leak, both the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 could go on sale in the U.S. and several other markets on August 27. The phones are tipped to debut at an Unpacked event sometime in the first week of August. Aside from the two foldable phones, the event could also see the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 4 series and the Galaxy Buds 2.
You can expect the Galaxy Z Flip 3 to be priced around the $1,000 mark in the U.S. The Galaxy Z Flip was launched at $1,380 in the U.S. last year.
