It seems that Samsung is planning to prefer the singled-out two-tone wait fabricated popular by the Google Pixel two. A black bar at the top of the phone contains the dual-camera setup, while there's a solid block of color underneath.

The leaked image shows beige, grayness, dark green and light violet shades, but display expert and leaker Ross Young says this is only half of the colors you can expect when the phone emerges, with blackness, dark blue, white and pinkish hues also available:

Looks bated, the biggest change in terms of usability seems to be the front end screen, which now lives within the black band to be subconscious in apparently sight. It's now big enough to preview a fairly long message without needing to open up the phone up.

While the front screen was present on the previous two Galaxy Z Flip handsets, its utility was distinctly more limited. As this official promotional image from Samsung's previous generation shows, there just isn't that much room for text on the original's 1.1-inch, 100x112 display, and seeing anything but a give-and-take or ii requires an bad-mannered swipe.

That's non to say that the characteristic wasn't useful — we were especially keen on its use as a mini viewfinder in our Galaxy Z Flip review — merely there'due south no dubiousness that clearer notifications when closed volition be a huge nugget for a handset that prides itself on portability.

Another image, shared by leaker @Rodent950, shows the same area used for controlling music, which is a dainty bear upon.

The concluding Galaxy Z Flip three shot shows the phone alongside the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold iii, suggesting the two will debut at the same event.

Both devices are widely tipped for a July release, a prediction reiterated past Young in the earlier tweet. Of course, Samsung could notwithstanding unveil the devices sooner than that, and the fact that the promotional video is already in product suggests nosotros could get our showtime official await at both phones soon.
