Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5g Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 Review

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5g

Foldable phones are still somewhat of a niche, but Samsung is looking to change that. The company just took the wraps off of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 — two promising folding smartphones that look to improve on their predecessors with more durable designs, cool new features (like pen support), and prices that are slightly less eye-watering than before. These phones will still run you a premium at $999 for the Z Flip 3 and $1,799 for the Z Fold 3, but they’re some of Samsung’s most attainable foldable yet.

Samsung also revealed plenty of other cool new gadgets at its Galaxy Unpacked event that won’t run you a few thousand dollars. The $149 Galaxy Buds 2 features a gorgeous and lightweight design, as well as a number of promising features for their relatively low price (including active noise cancellation). And for the wearable fans out there, the new Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic are poised to be a serious Apple Watch rival, thanks to their all-new user interface and wide range of wellness-minded features.

There’s a whole lot to unpack (sorry, we couldn’t resist) from Samsung’s big announcements today, so let’s break down the big new products you need to know about.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5g

Key features
Immersive Viewing
When the 7.6-inch Infinity Flex Display lights up like magic, the front camera disappears — leaving behind nothing but your YouTube video.* With less bezel, no notch, and an Under Display Camera, it’s the world’s first foldable phone with an uninterrupted view.
*Measured diagonally, the screen size is 7.6” in a full rectangle and 7.4” accounting for the rounded corners. The actual viewable area is smaller due to the rounded corners
S Pen and Flex mode

The first S Pen on a foldable.* Feels write. Get precision your fingers could only dream of as you put pen to glass. And you can watch, video calls,s and more all hands-free with Flex Mode. It splits the screen in two, letting you work smarter — like taking a call on the top half and sketching ideas on the lower half.**

*S Pen Pro and S Pen Fold edition sold separately. Only use the Samsung S Pen Pro or the S Pen Fold edition designed exclusively for Galaxy Z Fold3. All other S Pens or stylus pens not designed for Galaxy Z Fold3 (including those by other manufacturers) may damage the screen. S Pen support is only available on the Main Screen. **Certain applications may not support Flex mode. Flex mode supported at angles between 75° and 115°.
Easy Multitasking

IPX8 Water Resistance

*Consistent with an IPX8 rating, water-resistant in up to 5 feet of water for up to 30 minutes. Rinse residue/dry after wet.
Armor Aluminum Frame
A super-strong, yet lightweight Armor Aluminum frame is the backbone of this incredible phone, protecting the interior parts of the hinge-like suit of armor.

Real Flex and Less Breakable Screen
The Main Screen is made of Samsung Ultra-Thin Glass — the biggest leap in our foldable display technology. Less breakable and more scratch-resistant than ever before.* Also, the Front Cover Screen can take a hit, since it’s equipped with Gorilla Glass Victus.
