Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3 could have stronger frames

Samsung is far ahead of other brands in the foldable smartphone space. The company has already released two generations of foldable phones, and it is in the process of launching the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3 later this year. A new report suggests that the two upcoming foldable phones could have stronger designs, thanks to Samsung’s new technology.

The South Korean tech giant recently filed for a trademark that mentions ‘Armor Frame,’ and it is a type of frame designed for smartphones. The trademark was filed on April 13 in Europe, South Korea, and the US. While the documents don’t reveal much, it is being speculated by LetsGoDigital that Armor Frame could refer to the frame of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 or the Galaxy Z Fold 3.

Could Samsung ditch aluminum frames in favor of titanium for its next foldables?

The Galaxy Z Fold 2 and the Galaxy Z Flip use aluminum frames, which make the phones heavy, but they are not as strong as steel. For its next set of foldable phones, the company could switch to carbon or titanium to increase the frame’s strength while also reducing the weight. The trademark documents don’t reveal which material is used to make the Armor Frame, but it is being speculated that it could have military-grade certification for safety from drops and shocks.

Previous reports have also claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3 could feature some form of dust and water resistance, something that is missing from their predecessors. An IP rating will certainly offer peace of mind to those who spend a bomb on owning a foldable phone. Samsung is also expected to use a stronger Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 so that it can withstand the usage of S Pen, but the device won’t have a dedicated silo to store the stylus.

Samsung is working on another Galaxy M series phone with a big battery

One thing that Samsung has been doing well with its mid-range smartphones is their high battery capacities. Most Galaxy A and Galaxy M series phones are powered by 4,500mAh or larger batteries. Batteries powering the Galaxy F62 and the Galaxy M51 go as high as 7,000mAh, lasting up to two days even with heavy usage. Now, the company appears to be working on another mid-range smartphone, the Galaxy M32, with a big battery.

A new battery from Samsung has been certified by DEKRA, a safety certification company. Going by the battery’s model number (EB-BM325ABN), it could power the Galaxy M32. It has a rated capacity of 5,830mAh, which means that Samsung could market it as a 6,000mAh (typical) battery. The Galaxy M32 will most likely be based on the Galaxy A32 that was launched earlier this year.

Galaxy M32 specs could be similar to Galaxy A32

If the Galaxy M32 is anything like the Galaxy A32, it could feature a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. It will most probably launch with Android 11 (with One UI 3) onboard and come powered by the MediaTek Helio G80 processor. The phone could have a 20MP selfie camera and a 64MP+8MP+5MP+5MP quad-camera on the rear. It could be a 4G phone with Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, USB Type-C port, and a headphone jack.

When Samsung releases a Galaxy M series version phone of a Galaxy A series device, it changes the styling a bit and uses a higher-capacity battery. Hence, the Galaxy M32 appears to feature a 6,000mAh battery when compared to the Galaxy A32’s 5,000mAh one.
