We’re uncharacteristically excited for the upcoming Galaxy Watch 4, thanks to the team up between Samsung and Google for the new unified wearable platform that should be launching alongside the device. It’s basically the rebirth of wearables for Android users, so why not get stoked for it? And of course, everyone should know how much we’re pumped for the Galaxy Z Fold 3, a follow-up to the world’s ultimate couch phone.
I mention all of this because according to a source of Front Page Tech, we now have a couple of dates we can mark on the calendar for when we’ll be able to get hands-on with these devices. As detailed, the Galaxy Watch 4 will begin to ship on August 11, while both the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 will be available on August 27. To be clear, these are launch dates, not the announcement date which will definitely be ahead of the aforementioned dates.
Like I said, the Galaxy Watch 4 should be on everybody’s radar. We’re expecting to catch our first good look at the new platform later this month, and should all go well, folks will be lining up to try out the upgraded Wear OS on Samsung’s new hardware. As for the Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3, there isn’t too much to say besides that Samsung continues to improve designs and hopefully bring down prices. If the big price drop for Samsung foldables is accurate, that’s important for getting more folks into the foldable life.
August 11 and August 27. Mark your calendars.

I am thinking about switching from the Galaxy Note 10+ to the Galaxy Fold 3 since they are skipping the Note 21. I have never used or even seen any Galaxy Fold phone besides in pictures and videos. Does anyone know from personal experience how they are compared to the Galaxy Note 10+?
I’m a phone junkie and currently own a Note 20 Ultra, Z Fold 2, (and an iPhone 12 Mini lol). The novelty of the Fold 2 wore off after a few months. The Ultra has been my #1 phone for a majority of the time. the Fold 2 is just annoyingly thick and bulky when folded.
I got the Note 20 Ultra and 12 mini too. Love my Note but the size of the 12 mini is so nice to use in one hand.
I have the OG Fold & still love it. I wanted to upgrade to the 2 for the larger exterior screen but fought it to hold out for 3, hoping to see even bigger overall upgrades. I can def say it’ll be considered a novelty to some but to those who’ve been fans of the larger screens for years, nothing touches the Fold. You get the large exterior screen & inside, a screen that rivals an iPad Mini. Browsing the web, videos, & games are on another level with the much larger screen. Yea the phone is thick, folded but I got used to that pretty quick. The lack of being waterproof was a small worry for me but then I’ve always been extremely cautious to not allow my phones to get wet so that’s no huge issue.
Ive has samsung s series notes and non notes since the 8. I have the fold 2 now and its my favorite phone ive ever owned.
I am a Note fanboy and pre-ordered the Note 10+ and the Note 20 Ultra. Then in November of last year, I picked up a used Z Fold 2, and I still love it. Using it right now. I occasionally pick up my Note 20 Ultra, particularly for times I need an SPen or to take photos (I love the 5x optical zoom on the Note), but other than that I always use the Fold. No regrets.
How’s the screen on the Fold phones? The reason I waited so long switch was because I heard the screens were breaking where it folds.
