**Samsung Working on Multiple Galaxy Fold Models**

According to Max Weinbach of XDA-Developers, Samsung is reportedly working on multiple Galaxy Fold models, which could result in three different full devices. This rumor suggests that Samsung may be looking to expand its offerings beyond the original Galaxy Fold, potentially targeting a wider range of customers and price points.

Weinbach also mentions that there's a rumor that Samsung is working on a Galaxy Fold II for $1,100, although this has not been officially confirmed by the company. Additionally, there are reports that Samsung may be releasing three different foldable devices, including one with plastic and another with ultra-thin glass, codenamed "Winner Two" and "Champ", respectively.

**Design and Display**

The original Galaxy Fold features a remarkable piece of engineering, but it also has some compromises to accommodate its unique design. One notable feature is the front-facing camera array, which takes up a significant portion of the screen. To address this issue, Samsung may be looking to introduce a hole-punch or under-display camera solution, which would eliminate the need for a large notch at the top of the main display.

According to Ross Young, a display consultant, the main display on the new Galaxy Fold models is expected to grow in size, potentially reaching 7.5 inches. This is an increase from the original Galaxy Fold's 7.3-inch main screen. Losing the huge notch in favor of a more modern design would also make sense, as seen on previous Samsung devices such as the S10 Plus and S20.

**Camera Upgrades**

The new Galaxy Fold models are expected to follow the camera setup of the S20 series, which includes a 12-megapixel front-facing camera. The rear camera system may be similar to that of the S20, with a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 64-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens. Additionally, a time-of-flight sensor is likely to be included for advanced camera features.

**S-Pen Compatibility**

One notable feature of the original Galaxy Fold is its lack of S-Pen support due to the plastic screen on the main display. This makes it difficult to use the S-Pen without causing damage to the device. Samsung may need to develop a new stylus or redesign the glass to accommodate the S-Pen, although this is not currently clear.

**Water Resistance**

The original Galaxy Fold has a relatively low water resistance rating, with no official IP rating from Samsung. This means that the device is not protected against exposure to water or dust. However, there are reports of a patent filed by Samsung for waterproofing technology that resembles the design of the Galaxy Fold. While it's unclear whether this will translate to a real-world product, it would be a significant improvement over the original device.

**Release Date and Pricing**

Reports suggest that the new Galaxy Fold models may be released in early August, with a late August release date. As for pricing, if there are multiple foldable devices on the market, prices could range from $1,100 to $2,000 for the fanciest model. Additionally, there may be 4G and 5G variants to consider, which would further increase the price point.

**The Future of Samsung's Foldable Devices**

With the rumored release of multiple Galaxy Fold models, some have speculated that Samsung may merge its phones to create a single device, dubbed the "Nold". Others believe that the S and Note series should be combined into a single line, potentially resulting in a more cohesive product lineup. Whether this will happen remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Samsung's foray into foldable devices has been a wild ride so far, and it will be interesting to see where they go from here.
