Samsung has officially unfolded its new lineup of foldable smartphones – Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3. Along with the high-end hardware capabilities, these devices sport the most up-to-date software system from the brand and Android 11 pre-installed.

Revised back in August 2021, the Korean brand’s software policy ensures three generations of major Android OS upgrades to flagship devices launched in or after 2019 or Android 9 pre-installed. As the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is an expensive smartphone, it has also joined the list of devices that are eligible for three OS updates.
