There have been plenty of rumours regarding the next iteration of Samsung’s foldable devices. For starters, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 isn’t expected to be significantly different from its predecessor in terms of design and even specifications. However, the smartphone is expected to have support for the S Pen now that Samsung has discontinued the Galaxy Note series. The Galaxy Fold 3 also popped up on Geekbench giving us a better idea about its specifications. The smartphone is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 888 SoC and come with up to 12GB of RAM. The Galaxy Z Fold3 will feature two Super AMOLED screens — a 6.23" cover display and a 7.55" internal foldable screen. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is expected to go on sale on August 27th.
