We've heard for some time that Samsung will focus more on foldable phones in 2021, but now it looks like the company might go all out as a report says four Samsung foldables will be announced. According to ETNews, Samsung is working on two models of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. It doesn't say how the two will differ, but it does say that both will support 5G. Elsewhere we've heard there could be a Galaxy Z Fold Lite, so it could be one of two models. On top of that, the company is also apparently working on two models of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 2, both of which will also support 5G, but one is said to be more premium than the other.
A few months
Those four phones are apparently set to land in the second half of 2021, so it could be a very busy time for foldable devices. The report gets a bit more specific, saying that the company will start manufacturing the phones in August, so maybe they'll hit stores in September or October. But from the writing, it's unclear if this August window is for all four models or just the Galaxy Z Flip 2 models. Either way, that's when we expect to see the Samsung Galaxy Note 21, so it's a further proof that Samsung is looking to ditch the Note line as that would be a lot of premium phones to release. in such little time. This latest report, meanwhile, indicates that the Galaxy Note line will be "eventually" discontinued, suggesting there could still be a model next year at least, or perhaps the report's sources don't know everything. just no. Finally, the report states that a rollable Samsung smartphone, rumored in some corners for a 2021 release, will land in 2022 or later. As always, we'd take all of this with a pinch of salt, but it looks like 2021 could be the year that foldable phones really start to take off if Samsung had any say.
