Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event is just around the corner. It is scheduled for August 11th at 10am ET/7am PT and will be streamed on the company’s website and YouTube page.
This August, we’re not getting the Galaxy Note 21 like some people likely guessed. Instead, we’re expecting a pair of foldable devices, the successor to the Z Flip 5G and Z Fold 2, alongside a couple of smartwatches and new wireless earbuds.
Galaxy Z Fold 3
The follow-up to the Z Fold 2 is expected to be called the Galaxy Z Fold 3 (no surprise there). It will still fold like a book, just like the Z Fold 2, which means it can still transform from a smartphone into a small tablet.
Some things to note about the device (pun not intended) include that it’s now compatible with Samsung’s S Pen stylus. It also features an under-display selfie camera, previously only available in Android devices available in China.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3
According to several rumours, Samsung’s successor to the Galaxy Z Flip 5G will be called the Z Flip 3. The South Korean company is counting the Z Flip 5G as the second iteration to the Z Flip series, which is why we’re on the Z Flip 3 already.
Additionally, the Z Flip 3 will offer that same clamshell folding method similar to the Z Flip 5G. The Z Flip 5G to the Z Flip 3 won’t offer the most significant update to the design, but there are a few minor upgrades and the foldable should be slightly cheaper than its predecessor.
For example, the year’s Z Flip 3 is expected to sport a 120Hz display refresh rate and be slightly thinner than the Z Flip 5G.
