Report: Samsung could actually be launching 4 foldables in 2021

July 06, 2025

We’ve seen a few rumors related to Samsung’s foldable phone line in 2021, and theconsensuswas that the Korean brand was preparing three foldable phones for launch next year.

Now, Korean-based outletET Newsreports that Samsung actually plans to launch four foldable phones in 2021. The website reports that these devices are two Galaxy Z Fold 3 variants and two Galaxy Z Flip 2 models. The outlet also claims that all four phones will feature 5G connectivity, although this isn’t really surprising given that we’re well into the 5G transition now.

ET Newsdidn’t report on any major differences between the Fold devices, but it claimed that the two Z Flip phones will have “different performance and features.”

Unfortunately, it looks like those hoping for an imminent launch will need to wait a while, as the outlet alleges that all four foldable phones are only scheduled to launch in the second half of 2021. So don’t expect these devices to debut alongside the Galaxy S21 series.

Nevertheless, this latest report of four foldables contrasts with previous rumors, which pointed to three devices. More specifically, it was originally believed that Samsung was going to launch Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Fold Lite, and Galaxy Z Flip 2 models.

ET Newsalso notes that Samsung is working on a rollable phone of its own, but claims that it isn’t part of Samsung’s business plan for 2021. The outlet alleges that Samsung’s rollable design allows the screen to be stretched upwards, which would be a big departure from devices like theOPPO X 2021 rollable concept.
