We’re getting closer to August 11 and Samsung can’t seem to contain its own excitement for this year’s Unpacked. Ahead of the official unveiling for its new Wear OS-powered smartwatches and new foldables, Samsung has published an editorial, essentially hyping up its new devices and teasing upcoming features.
Leaks from across the web have already filled us in on what we need to know, such as S Pen support coming to the Galaxy Z Fold 3, but Samsung has now confirmed that in this blog post. The company says it’ll introduce, “the first-ever S Pen designed specifically for foldable phones,” while also completely shutting the door on any potential Galaxy Note device for 2021.
Instead of unveiling a new Galaxy Note this time around, we will further broaden beloved Note features to more Samsung Galaxy devices.
Samsung also notes that it’s working with Google to enhance the foldable ecosystem with “popular” apps and services. Specifically, Samsung notes that it has lined up even more partner apps that make the most of the versatile fold-out format.
August 11 is going to be sweet. Reserve your new Galaxy foldable.

I’ll 100% miss the camera from my S21U but I’m really thinking about trading it in for the Z Flip 3.
Ooh not a good idea. The Z Flip is lots of amazing things but the cameras are … not a selling point.
Yeah that will so expensive. It’s going to break down in 6 months.
If the pen isn’t integrated into the phone, and if it doesn’t come bundled with the phone too, then I’m not interested.
Will be trading my note 21 for a fold 3
An S Pen for a screen that gets scratched easily? That sounds like a bad idea.
This is great
Oh wow
We don’t want foldables. We want a note 21 with UNFOLDED screen edges. FFS
Flat screen (no curves), headphone jack, removable battery and exSD card support.
The curved screen isn’t bad, tbh. I’d give that up for a note ultra
Headphone jack? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/81b4120431e9c37de275f91e7076e6393574d5a99785aba4c67fc8e80e41136f.gif
Yes, it’s that little, fully functioning, non-proprietary and still extremely popular jack that works with almost everything and is still even used extensively in the audio industry.
Well that is an excellent description, primalxconvoy. The thing is “…and is still even used extensively in the audio industry…” is the only valid part of that statement as having a headphone jack on cellphones is actually becoming less popular.
Incorrect. It is still extremely popular, and has been a topic of concern over the majority of Android/mobile sites.
This thing will be over priced and they will still has the creased in the middle.
As a Z Fold2 owner, the crease is not a problem, when looking straight on, it’s not even visible. You can only see a crease from angles, which I’m not sure about you, but I don’t view my screen at an angle when using it. I’ve had my Fold for nearly 5 months and I absolutely love it. I love it so much, I may just trade it in for this Fold3, it’s a true game changer. I don’t touch my iPad anymore and it’s great for productivity apps and games like Wild Rift. It’s the perfect phone, it does it all.
The crease is my biggest problem with foldables. I get that they will never not be an issue but until they can get the technology to a point where it’s almost invisible from multiple angles I doubt I’ll own one. I had a phone with a 7.2 inch screen and had no problem using it one handed for most things.
yep. im the same. plus there so expensive to a point where the money is better spent elsewhere that will last a long time without breaking down.
