We have already reported that Samsung has started developing the successor to the Galaxy Z Fold series. A few days ago, this phone appeared on the 3C certification website.
Today, the dual battery pack for the Galaxy Z Fold3 appeared on South Korea’s safety certification website. The certification reveals the appearance of the two batteries, which will be used in the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold3.
Previous reports indicated that Samsung reduced the battery capacity to create a new foldable design, which will compress the internal space of the Galaxy Z Fold3. As seen in the images, the new battery is slightly thinner compared to last year’s model.
The model numbers are all the same as in the 3C certification. This foldable screen phone will have dual batteries with a total capacity of 4275 mAh (2215 mAh + 2060 mAh), which is lower than the battery capacity of the Galaxy Z Fold2.
Some leakers also pointed out that the Galaxy Z Fold3 will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset. This chipset uses a 5nm process and features one Cortex-X1 super core, offering significant performance improvements over its predecessor.
The Galaxy Z Fold3 will be 13g lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold2 (282g). It is also known that the Galaxy Z Fold3 will have model number SM-F926 and will be dust and water-resistant, but the IP rating is currently unknown.
Samsung is expected to reveal the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip2 in August 2021. The price of both models might exceed $2000.
