The Note line usually launched around September / October, so we generally believed that was when we expected the new foldables to arrive. If there is a rumor to believe, Samsung may be planning to launch its new foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3, in July this year – months before the Z Fold2, which arrived last September.
We may have to wait 5 months to see Flip 3 and Fold 3.

If Samsung is now changing its launch strategy and its flagship H1 (the S21 series) already launched in January, then this new timeline makes sense. If the company is expected to schedule two major calendar releases per year, they may be six months apart. This means that new foldables would be expected six months after the Galaxy S21 line in July.
It is too early to say whether this rumor is true. Perhaps the company is on track to launch the foldables in July, but you never know if there will be any kind of delay in manufacturing. Who knows, maybe Samsung has discovered everything with foldable devices for the third iteration. After all, it has already undergone a major recall with the first generation Galaxy Fold.
The Galaxy Z Fold3 is expected to make a change to the UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) composition of the second generation of foldables and may return to plastic. It is rumored that the Fold3’s screen measures 7.55 inches on its internal screen with a 6.21-inch coverage screen. Another rumor said that the Galaxy Z Fold3 may have the same price as the Z Fold2 when it launched: $ 2,000. A supposed rendering of the Z Fold3 looks like the parts of the S21 Ultra were mixed with a foldable form factor and an S Pen. We haven’t yet seen Samsung offer a foldable device that supports the S Pen. Previous models have screens that are very delicate and easily mark.

For the Z Flip3, the internal screen can grow up to 6.7 inches diagonally and is rumored to have a 120Hz refresh rate. The cover screen of the Z Flip3 is also expected to grow from the original Z Flip. There are also rumors that there will be a cheaper Z Flip3 model, perhaps one equipped with a mid-range chipset.
