Samsung says it plans to release new foldable smartphones later this year

“We are currently all hands on deck regarding preparing the new foldable model scheduled for launch in the second half,” said a representative from the company during the call.

Samsung’s mobile vice-president Kim Sung-Koo also stated that the company plans to make foldable smartphones the “main column next to the Galaxy S series within our business.”

Given the success of the Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3, it makes sense that Samsung is working on successors to both phones. The tech giant likely plans to reveal its new foldables — probably called the Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 — in August. Rumours regarding the Z Flip 3 have been sparse, but leaks regarding the Fold 4 have appeared at rapid rate recently. For example, the smartphone is rumoured to feature a design similar to the z Fold 3’s alongside a 108-megapixel camera, and, depending on who you believe, a built-in S Pen.
