Leaked Galaxy Z Flip 3 renders reveal a new ear speaker design

The wait for the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is almost over. Arguably, it was made more bearable by the recent leaks and rumors that gave us a sneak preview of the upcoming device, and now, with just a couple of weeks left before Galaxy Unpacked, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 has popped up again in a new round of leaked renders via WinFuture.

This time, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is depicted in the color black, though the upcoming foldable device is said to be planned for release in at least four color options. Other than the paint finish, the renders reconfirm some of the design characteristics we've already known.

The Galaxy Z Flip 3 has a vertically aligned dual-camera system and a larger cover display. These components are delimited by a protruding sheet of glass. The device has a volume rocker on the right edge and a USB-C port along with a loudspeaker grille at the bottom. The ear speaker at the top also seems to have a new design with three orifices instead of one.

Samsung's new clamshell foldable has marginally thinner bezels surrounding the foldable screen, and the hinge was redesigned to allow the phone an IPX8 rating for water resistance.

Galaxy Z Flip 3 quick spec recap

The upcoming foldable deice will not only introduce a refreshed design, but it will also be more powerful than its predecessor, as one would expect from a yearly sequel. One of the bigger upgrades will consist of a 120Hz foldable display, allowing for smoother animations throughout the UI and for certain mobile games to run at 120 frames per second.

All that processing will be handled by the Snapdragon 888 chipset, if previous benchmarks prove to be true, and the CPU will be paired with 8GB of RAM. Storage options should include 128GB and 256GB, but the phone won't have a microSD card slot.

As for those two main cameras, they supposedly have a resolution of 12MP each. Meanwhile, the selfie sensor embedded in the Infinity-O display cutout should have a resolution of 10MP.

Samsung will officially unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 3 at Galaxy Unpacked 2021 on August 11.

First Samsung device: SGH-A800

Mihai is a blogger and column writer at SamMobile. His first Samsung phone was an A800 which took a lot of beating, and a part of him still misses the novelty of the clamshell design. In his free time, he enjoys watching shows, documentaries, and stand-up comedy; listening to music, taking walks, and occasionally playing old(er) video games.
