Many things have been said about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, but we have yet to see the device’s official image. Well, Ben Geskin has decided to change that, as he recently posted an image on Twitter, where he shows us what could be Samsung’s new foldable device.
We are still waiting to get official images of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, but those may take a while to show up. In the meantime, we’ve found what could be the next best thing. Ben Geskin has recently posted a render of what he believes will be Samsung’s new foldable device’s final design. At a simple glance, we can see that this device holds a strong resemblance with the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra if we were to leave out the other half of the device. However, this makes perfect sense, as the Galaxy Z Fold 2 looks a lot like the Galaxy S21 Ultra.
However, having a similar design in the camera module doesn’t guarantee that we will get the same camera sensors, so we may end up getting a slightly downgraded camera, just like on its predecessor. Geskin also believes that the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 will arrive with S Pen support, but he explains that the stylus won’t come in the device. Instead, we would see the same solution given to the Galaxy S21 Ultra, or maybe magnets, like in Apple’s iPad Pro.
Previous rumors suggest that the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 may launch in June. Further, the new foldable is also expected to arrive with the same price tag as its predecessor. What’s more interesting is that this may be Samsung’s first device to feature an under-display selfie camera, but we will have to wait for more information to confirm or deny these rumors.

Here’s your first official look at the VIVO X50 and X50 Pro
Oh so you thought the Galaxy S20 had a big camera hump? Well, vivo has been teasing their new X50 Pro which brings a gimbal like main camera. The company just released a new poster of the phone which shows the quad camera module with the huge main sensor. This main camera is a Samsung 50MP ISOCELL GN1 Sensor which comes with Dual Pixel PDAF tech for faster focusing, it basically rotates on it’s axis like a gimbal for better stabilization. The other cameras include a periscope, and most likely a wide angle and a macro camera. We’re expecting the vivo X50 lineup to launch on June 1.
ASUS ROG Phone III and ZenFone 7 to debut around July: Report
Back in February Qualcomm gave us a list of phones that would bring the Snapdragon 865 and, that list included two ASUS phones. It looks like both of those phones are ready to launch according to a new report from Taiwan which claims that the ROG Phone 3 and the ZenFone 7 will either in Q2 or early Q3 of 2020. Going by last year’s launch date, if they do launch in July or August they will be late by a couple of months when compared to their predecessors but, the market isn’t in the same state as it was last year. The company is currently targeting a 30-50% growth in sales for the ROG Phone 3. We’ll keep you posted in case we get more leaks.
Second-gen Moto Razr foldable phone could be launched in September
We all know how excited I was for the Moto RAZR last year, and we all know how that turned out. Well, according to Lenovo’s South African GM, the company is already working on a second generation device and it is supposed to come out in September. He actually mentioned the words “generation two” twice during a podcast while talking about the RAZR. Leaks will most likely start coming in soon and we hope it brings better specifications for the price tag, nostalgia can only go so far.
Apple may have started the production of the new AirPods Studio
A new DigiTimes report claims that we’ll be getting Apple’s AirPods Studio sooner rather than later. The report mentions the fact that Apple will be dropping the wired earphones from the iPhone 12’s box like we covered yesterday. It also mentions that Cupertino will resume regular shipments of the AirPods 2 in the second half of this year, which we wonder if it has anything to do with the move of production to Vietnam, but that does match the timing of the possible AirPods Studio. The company has apparently already started production for these and we could see an announcement at WWDC and they might cost $350.
Story of the day:
We may get a Periscope camera in the Samsung Galaxy Note 20+
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 could’ve appeared in some hot looking renders
We recently got some sketches for the Galaxy Note 20′s design from Ice Universe. Now we got the first renders which were made based on that leaked design. The phone looks pretty similar to the Note 10 from the front with the very boxy design but it does bring some changes. The camera on this one has a larger hump, like the one on the S20 Ultra, the buttons are also on the right side and the S Pen was moved to the left. Like seriously, common sense changes. Now, these aren’t the official renders just yet but, this gives us a pretty good idea of what it might look like according to the sketches. Galaxy Club just found some new information and they claim that the Note 20+ will most likely bring a periscope camera. It isn’t clear if it will be the same one on the S20 Ultra and some other rumors claim that it won’t bring 100X zoom, but it pretty much explains the large camera hump for this phone as well.
We recently saw sketches of the possible design of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20, but it’s the first time we get Note 20 renders. These may not be official, but they look great, and they also reveal some interesting design changes that could come with the latest iteration of the Galaxy Note series.
According to these renders, we are getting some interesting design changes with the Samsung Galaxy Note 20. First, we can see the volume buttons are placed on the right side of the device, and the S Pen is now on the left side of the phone. The overall design of the Note 20 looks like the Galaxy S20, including its new rectangular module where we find the cameras.
However, let’s remember that these are unofficial renders, and there’s no way of confirming these design changes. In other words, we could see something different soon. We know that the Galaxy Note 20+ is supposed to arrive with a better display, better camera and a larger battery than the regular Note 20 and that there won’t be an Ultra variant since the new Ultra would be the new Samsung Galaxy Fold 2.
