Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 product description

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, often written as 'Flip3', is Samsungs third generation foldable phone. The appearance is similar to its predecessor except for a few points, yet the Flip 3 does offer a lot of improvements. Here we will try to explain those and after that it will hopefully become clear why this is the most important foldable at the moment.

Larger Cover Screen

The Galaxy Z Flip3 is largely about the outside. So this year, there are more colours to choose from and plenty of accessories available. For example, cases with a key ring in various colours. You can dress up your Flip3 just the way you want. The top half has a black bar in which the cameras are located and the outer screen. This time it has a 4x larger surface area so you can display more information. The 1.9 Cover Screen is touch sensitive and can therefore be used to operate your phone.

Flippin' Awesome

Flip it open and an immense 6.7 inches unfolds. Amaze friend and foe alike how such a large screen fits into such a small phone. This is the power of foldables. The screen has a high 120Hz refresh rate so that animations look incredibly smooth. Samsung applies a sharp FHD + resolution and uses a bright AMOLED panel. Colours seem to splash off the Infinity Flex Display. The crease is not really visible during use, except when the screen is off. The Flip 3 features a sturdier PET top layer that is 80% more resistant to scratches. The hinge is also sturdier this time around. It's protected by Armour Aluminium and has been tested to fold in and out 200,000 times.

First waterproof foldable

This is also the first time Samsung has made its foldable waterproof. The Z Flip 3 has an IPX8 rating. The '8' stands for waterproof. The 'X' reveals that the Flip 3 is not dustproof. However, this time Samsung has used smaller nylon brushes in the hinge so that dust doesn't get in as easily. Prevention is better than cure, so stay away from dust and sand. What is also welcome is the slightly lower starting price. It doesn't break the thousand mark but we expect it to be nicely below it after a few months. That's good news because it makes foldables accessible to a wider audience. This Flip 3 deserves it because it is perhaps the most suitable foldable for most of us.
