The US variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 (SM-F926U and SM-F926U1) received the FCC certification earlier today, and the supporting documentation reveals a lot of exciting information. The foldable smartphone features 5G (mmWave and sub-6GHz), 4G LTE, CDMA, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, NFC, and UWB. It will also be Samsung's first foldable smartphone to come with S Pen support. It also supports 9W Qi wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.
The FCC certification documents reveal that the device features a digitizer function that operates with the S Pen via inductive coupling (which is how S Pen always works). However, the S Pen might not come bundled with the device, and it may not have a dedicated silo to store the stylus. Like the Galaxy S21 Ultra, Samsung might sell an additional case for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 that can hold the S Pen.
Galaxy Z Fold 3 expected specs
Going by previous reports, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 features a 6.2-inch cover display (Super AMOLED Infinity-O) and a 7.5-inch Super AMOLED foldable display. Both screens are said to feature a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+. The phone might come equipped with a Snapdragon 888 processor, 12GB/16GB RAM, 256GB/512GB storage, stereo speakers, and an official IP rating.
The phone could feature a 16MP under-display camera below the internal foldable display, a 10MP selfie camera on the cover display, and a 12MP+12MP+12MP triple-camera setup at the rear. The phone will be powered by a 4,400mAh battery and feature 25W fast charging. We had exclusive reported that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 could be 20% cheaper than the Galaxy Z Fold 2.
