The Galaxy Z Fold range will gradually establish itself as one of Samsung's strong brands, alongside the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note. While the Galaxy Z Fold 2 has just been presented at the Samsung Unpacked this August 5, 2020, we know that the manufacturer is already working on several new foldable smartphones, some of which are expected to be released in 2021.
Indeed, according to our colleagues at the website PhoneArena, the South Korean manufacturer is currently working on a successor to the Galaxy Z Flip 5G, as well as on three new models of Galaxy Z Fold, namely theGalaxy Z Fold Lite, Z Fold S, and Z Fold 3. As you might expect, Samsung has so far made no official statement to their subjects, and for now, these are just rumors to take with tweezers.

Galaxy Z Fold Lite: towards an alleged release in early 2021
The Galaxy Z Fold Lite has already made a name for itself on the web. Early publications claim that the Galaxy Z Fold Lite will be released in 2021 at a price of $900. This mid-range foldable smartphone would take the design of the first Galaxy Fold. To offer it at this price, Samsung would have ignored several features, such as 5G. In addition, the device would carry a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, accompanied by 256GB of storage.
Like the Galaxy Fold, this model should mark the return of THE CPI plastic instead of the ultra-thin Ultra Thin Glass found on the Galaxy Z Flip. Another sacrifice that would allow the manufacturer to lower the price of the device. There should be a secondary screen similar or smaller than the Galaxy Fold, as well as the dual main sensor on the rear side.

Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Fold S: well-kept secrets
Unsurprisingly, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Fold S are still very mysterious. Some rumors have still appeared on the Net. The first hallway noises speak of the Galaxy Z Fold S as Samsung's most ambitious foldable smartphone. Indeed, it would be the first smartphone of its kind to bend and unfold both inward and outwards,in fact combining the possibilities offered by a Z Fold 2 and a Z Flip.
As for the Galaxy Z Fold 3, some leakers mention the presence of an S-Pen, which could also be integrated into the future Galaxy S21. It must be said that the interest of this accessory, especially with a foldable smartphone, is ideal. Once the device is unfolded, the S-Pen could have all its use to take notes, navigate, draw, play, etc.
Only, the addition of the S-Pen is subject to one condition: the reinforcement of the display. The protection chosen by Samsung will have to be able to withstand the folding and repeated contact of the stylus, which is currently impossible with the UTG or the CPI. In any case, the galaxy Z Fold 2 is already in place.
