the description. so today we've got incredible news about the upcoming galaxy z fold 3. we've
got news that it's the first in-display camera from samsung the first folding phone to feature
the s pen and a new led hinge for notifications before we get started though please like the video
if you're a fan of samsung and let me know in the comments what device you're watching this video on
so it seems that samsung have truly changed their marketing strategy and while many thought that
the folding devices would fail they're now being pushed as the most premium flagships in the range
the folding phones now outshine the s and the note inspects and price
and the galaxy z fold 3 is no different the first story of the day is about a new led notification
light that could be present on the hinge of the galaxy z fold 3. a pattern was discovered by
let's go digital that shows a new led strip running down the back of the z fold 3 hinge
and this provides alerts for calls and messages let's go digital have also created some 3d renders
to show us exactly what we can expect from this design and as you can see it looks great
according to the patent this led strip is going to be covered by a translucent cover for protection
and the led strip is going to be individually addressable meaning different parts can display
different colours and this will offer a wide range of choices and effects the fold already has the
front display for notifications but an led strip on the back is going to draw very little power
and it will be a welcomed edition next we've got news of the first in-display selfie camera
from samsung and this is expected to be in the galaxy z fold 3. multiple reports have suggested
low production in the display camera tech and this is because it's not going to be present on the s21
and it's hopefully going to be making its debut on the z fold 3 when limited units are produced
we know that samsung have been working on this for some time and it's just not ready
for the next s model but with the galaxy z fold 3 set to launch in the second half of next year
then it seems a reasonable time scale to perfect next up we've got the news that everyone wants to
hear and that is of course s pen support for the galaxy's effort 3. now it's looking hopeful but
it's important to remember that this rumor comes around every year with the fold devices and it of
course has not happened yet there are two reasons why it hasn't happened so far number one is that
the display was not durable enough for the s-pen and secondly the magnets used in the fold actually
interfere with the electromagnetic resonance or emr technology that the s-pen currently uses
a new report from the alex states that samsung are going to be increasing the thickness of the
ultra thin glass for the galaxy fold 3 and this is going to make it more durable for the users
it's currently 30 micrometers thick and samsung are reportedly going to be doubling this to 60
micrometers and this will withstand more pressure and of course accommodate an s pen we also have
news that the s pen is going to be changing in the galaxy z fold 3 and it's now going to be using
an active electrostatic solution that doesn't get interference from the magnets in the case
experts say there isn't going to be much difference between these two technologies but
the emr is actually cheaper to manufacture and one of the reasons that samsung have used this so far
it's going to be interesting to see if this change in technology also follows down to the note range
as well it's not too much of an issue for the note some magnetic cases have been problematic for
users the device is expected to launch in august but things have changed a lot for many smartphone
manufacturers so i wouldn't be surprised if we do see another change from samsung here of course we
do have an idea of the rest of the specs so we're going to run through them now for those
of you that are interested so the galaxy fold 3 is still in very early stages but we can get an idea
of what's coming thanks to the early leaks supply chain info and of course their previous releases
given its predecessor success we don't expect too much change in the design from the predecessor
so the specs are estimated to be as follows the inner display is likely to remain a similar size
considering we've already got trimmed down bezels we can expect a 7.6 inch dynamic amoled display
with a resolution of 1768 by 2208 and this will have a 120hz refresh rate the front screen is
likely to remain the same as well which is a 6.2 inch super amoled with a resolution of 2260x816
the biggest change here is of course can be the screen protection with 60 micrometer
ultra thin glass that not only helps with the durability but should also provide a nicer
touch experience for the user when it comes to the selfie camera we've got no information yet
many reports and rumors are hinting at the first in-display selfie camera but we've got no idea
what sensor or lens samsung are using for this on the rear it's likely to be a triple or a quad
camera setup now samsung tend to keep things similar across their range so i would expect
the new camera module that we're seeing in the s range to be present and it's likely that they'll
be using the similar 12 megapixel sensors instead of going with the 108 megapixel hm2
when it comes to ram and storage samsung tend to push things high with the fold models
so i would estimate the galaxy z fold 3 to have 16 gigs of ddr5 ram this will be coupled with 128
256 or 512 storage it's most likely going to be powered by the snapdragon 875 plus and the exynos
equivalent whatever they decide to name it and there are rumors of a 5 000 milliamp hour battery
but personally i don't see that happening they're likely to remain at a similar size so with
improvements of space internally in new tech i would estimate a minor increase so maybe something
like 4 600 milliamp hours it will of course ship with oneUI 3.0 based on android 11 and being so
early on color variants just cannot be confirmed it will probably have as much water protection as
they can but we're unlikely to see any official ip ratings due to its difficult to waterproof design
we're expecting an august launch and if things carry on as normal when it comes to the pricing
we of course know it's gonna be a lot so we can expect between two thousand
and two thousand one hundred dollars if we see the usual price increment now of course a lot of this
is just sensible estimates on top of the leaks we have because we're so far away from launch
but i'll be keeping you guys up to date as any new news comes in as always though i would like
to know your thoughts in the comments so who out there is waiting for the galaxy z fold 3
and if not then what phone are you waiting for but thanks for watching the video if you liked
it smash a thumbs up if you didn't hit that thumbs down twice and i'll see you guys in the next one
so
