New Galaxy Z Fold 3 leaks: IPX8 water resistance, 4MP under-display selfie camera and S Pen support

As we get closer and closer to the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event set for August 11, it’s perhaps only natural that we’re getting more leaks about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3. The latest comes courtesy of serial leaker Evan Blass, with new information about the hardware specs of Samsung’s two upcoming foldables.

Let’s look at the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 first. According to Blass, it’ll have a 7.6-inch main display when folded open. Closing the device then gives you a 6.2-inch external screen on the front cover. This makes it pretty much the same as last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 2, although there’s no word yet on screen resolution.

As for the cameras, you can expect a triple 12MP camera setup on the rear and a 10MP front camera at the top of the cover display for you to take selfies with when the device is folded. There will also be a 4MP sensor that’s apparently an under-display camera, located beneath the Galaxy Z Fold 3’s main display. Furthermore, we can expect to see stylus support for both a Fold Edition S Pen along with the S Pen Pro on the foldable tablet.

Meanwhile, for the Galaxy Z Flip 3, there will be a 6.7-inch main display while the outer display is a much smaller 1.9-inch screen located along the cameras. Its main display may be the same size as its predecessor but Samsung has given the cover display gets a pretty significant size bump. Last year’s Galaxy Z Flip and Z Flip 5G only had a tiny 1.1-inch display on the cover, so a 1.9-inch screen this time means a 73% increase in size.

Camera-wise, the folding phone gets a two-camera setup, with both shooters being 12MP sensors. The selfie camera meanwhile is a 10MP sensor, similar to the camera setup on the Z Fold 3. Both phones will also get IPX8 water resistance, a much needed step up from their predecessors.

Of course, even though these new leaks come from a reliable source in Evan Blass, it should be noted that it’s still an unofficial rumour. But Samsung fans won’t have to wait too long now, as we’re just a fortnight away from the Korean giant’s Galaxy Unpacked event.
