Although manufacturers such as Huawei, Motorola and Xiaomi have successively demonstrated their foldable products, and we have seen Lenovo’s foldable laptops, as well as bizarre dual-screen (Microsoft and LG) and rolling-screen concept smartphones (OPPO and LG).
However, as one of the first manufacturers to promote folding screen smartphones to the mainstream market, Samsung has not yet disclosed the company’s specific new plans in 2021. Judging from recent rumors, Samsung may not bring more surprises this year.
Earlier, it was reported that Samsung hopes to substantially boost sales of foldable smartphones while working hard to lower the price of entry-level models. However, combined with the official tone a few weeks ago, the company is likely not to bring greater surprises in 2021.
Samsung has said that due to the current chip crisis, the company will be forced to cancel the Galaxy Note 21 product line originally scheduled to be launched in 2021. However, in the eyes of many foreign media, the chip shortage only gave the company a high-sounding excuse to abandon the Note series and replace it with a folding screen product line.

Secondly, Samsung has not announced any new folding screens this year but chose to provide a longer trial period for the existing Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold 2. According to this speculation, even if the Galaxy Z Flip 2 will arrive in the first half of 2021, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is likely to be delayed to the second half of 2021.
Previously, the media had unearthed a large number of folding screen design patents owned by Samsung (including mobile phones and tablets), and one of the models had a dual-hinge + three-segment display. Another rumor a few months ago said that Samsung is building a more approachable Galaxy Z Fold “Lite” model (which is expected to be lowered to $1,500), and it is expected to be accompanied by high-end Z Fold products ($2,000 level). release.
However, SamMobile predicts that just as not all conceptual designs will actually go to the market, Samsung will probably not launch a third new folding screen this year. A few days ago, foreign media even reported on Samsung’s new promotional policy for the UK market, allowing consumers who purchase full-price folding screen devices to provide a 60-day long return experience period.
As for the release date of the 2021 new product, Samsung is likely to choose to hold it in August of the traditional Note product line. However, as domestic manufacturers such as Xiaomi actively participate in the competition, the folding screen market may soon fall into the Red Sea in the future.
