The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 has seemingly appeared in numerous screenshots possibly taken from an official promo video. The leaked images reveal that the Galaxy Z Fold 3, which will apparently go into production in July, has an under display camera and restrained look to it. Buyers will get to select from four colors for the foldable phone.
Update: Designer Ben Geskin has created a clear render based on the current leaked images.

Update: Noted concept designer Ben Geskin has created a render of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 based on the leaked screenshots (see embedded Tweet below).

Original story:

Leaked images of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 have appeared online at the same time as some blurry shots of renders of the Galaxy Z Flip 3. An image that was likely originally labeled with “strictly confidential” or similar shows three Galaxy Z Fold 3 phones in their folded form revealing their camera setups and color choices. More images show the device fully opened and being used in a semi-folded (laptop) form in conjunction with an S Pen.

Along with being shown in green, black, and silver, it appears the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 will also be made available in beige. The closed design is quite reserved in its looks, with the foldable phone sporting a tidy triple-camera arrangement rather than a less subtle camera bump like the one found on the Galaxy S21 Ultra. In addition, S Pen support is seemingly confirmed here, with a tech tipster stating that the input device will have a rounder tip than the one used for the Galaxy Note series.

Interestingly, while the Galaxy Z Flip successor will apparently be lumbered with a punch-hole camera, it appears the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 won’t be burdened with such a blemish. One of the images clearly states “it’s the first foldable with Under Display Camera”, which will certainly excite those users craving a full-screen display on their Samsung Galaxy device of choice.
