Report: Samsung expected to launch Galaxy Z Fold 3, Z Flip 2 in July
June 09, 2025
Smartphone makers’ plans may have been affected by theglobal chipset shortage, but Samsung is apparently pushing on with its foldable phone launches this year. According to a report byThe Elec, the company is set to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 2 as early as July.
We can also expect design changes to the display and battery of the larger foldable. The report quotes a drop in battery capacity to 4,380mAh — the same capacity as the originalGalaxy Fold. As for the display, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 might see less real estate than its predecessor. The folding screen reportedly measures 7.5 inches, while the outer screen comes in at 6.2 inches. A refresh rate bump could be on the cards, though.
The Galaxy Z Flip 2 may also gain a smaller battery, according to anearlier report. The foldable may see a drop from a 3,300mAh dual-cell design to 3,200mAh.
Galaxy Z Fold 3: This year’s Note replacement?
Samsung did confirm in December that it plans to slim down its foldable phone lines, making them more pocketable. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 may sportS Pen functionalitytoo, which should further improve its versatility.
Would you buy a Samsung foldable if it packed S Pen support?
Should Samsung launch its foldable devices in July, it would largely make up for the lack of a Note device this year. The Note series traditionally debuts in August. In March, the company confirmed that there would be noGalaxy Note 21series this year but didn’t completely rule out the series’ death entirely.
Still, with rumors of a slimmer build, S Pen support, and now a Q2 launch date, it seems that Samsung might be billing the Galaxy Z Fold 3 as this year’s — and possibly future — Note replacement.
