That almost certainly means the world’s number one smartphone vendor also has clear plans for when said launch event will take place and when its two next-gen foldables will actually go on sale around the world.
Save the August 10 and August 26 dates
That’s a lot of inside information, and although every little detail should obviously be treated with caution for the time being, we really wouldn’t be surprised if the whole story panned out in August (give or take a few days and one or two color names).
Samsung’s next Unpacked event is currently expected to go down on August 10, which just so happens to be the month’s second Wednesday. The Galaxy Z Fold 3, Z Flip 3, Galaxy Watch 4, and Watch 4 Classic went official (and up for pre-order) on August 11, 2021, which you guessed it, was the month’s second Wednesday as well.
Still, nothing’s etched in stone yet, so just to be on the safe side, you should consider the possibility that this schedule might be revised until the very last hour depending on how well production evolves and initial global demand.
What to expect on the color front
That’s a Phantom Black Z Fold 3 next to a Cream Z Flip 3.
Meanwhile, both sources expect the Z Flip 4 to be painted in a grand total of four shades, and despite them being referred to differently, they’re probably the exact same four colors. We’re talking graphite (or gray), “bora purple” (aka light violet), pink gold (or just gold), and last but not least, blue/light blue.
All three versions should be offered in phantom black and silver paint jobs, if Prosser’s intel proves reliable, with the small Galaxy Watch 5 also tipped to be coated in pink gold and the large non-Pro device coming in a third color option dubbed “Sapphire” and described as “blueish.”
