Channelnews : samsung launches another unique foldable, & rolls out value phone update

Samsung has launched a new foldable similar to its Galaxy Z Fold 2 while also  revealing upgrades for their Galaxy M21 value smartphone. The foldable, which is labelled as the W21 5G, was at

first believed to be a rebadge of the Galaxy Z Fold2. The China only product at this stage is slightly larger, with a textured back and a gold colour. The internals are about the same as

the Z Fold2, with a 6.23-inch cover display, 2090mAh and 2160mAh dual batteries, dual SIM support, and a Snapdragon 865 Plus processor. Previous phones in Samsung’s W series have been

dual-screen clamshell models with physical keyboards, so the W21 5G represents a significant shift for the range. > What? Samsung W21 is actually bigger than Fold2! >

the latest October 2020 Android Security Patch. The 650MB update includes camera, keyboard, and messaging improvements, and is based on Android 10. The move comes as a surprise, as it was

originally thought OneUI 2.5 would be limited to the Galaxy Note, S, and Z series; however, some phones in the mid-range A series have also received the update.
