According to a report by a South Korean publication Aju News, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 will feature S Pen and UDC (Under Display Camera)”. This UDC technology is one that allows pictures to be taken on the device without a camera hole. They can be done by simply placing a camera under the OLED screen.  

Previous versions like Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 2 were equipped with a notch display with a single side of the screen and a punch-hole display with a small hole to mount a front camera. The foldable smartphone is rumoured to launch with a Snapdragon 888 SoC under the hood.
