As per the previous reports, the tech giant is expected to showcase a lineup of its new devices including Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Watch 4, and Galaxy Buds 2 during the event. However, an official announcement is still awaited.

The display analyst, Ross Young, had also confirmed the rumors saying that Samsung had cancelled the Lite model due to the ongoing chipset shortage owing to the pandemic. However, there is currently no concrete update about the economic, flip-folding smartphone.

The tech giant had recently shown a glimpse of some Galaxy Z Flip 3 renders. The device could be Samsung’s first venture into a “mid-range foldable smartphone segment”. The Galaxy S21 FE, rumors of which have also been doing rounds, is reportedly delayed and therefore may not appear at the event.
