Hands full? The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is here to help

Posted by Matt Williams, 13 August 2021

Stay connected in style

Extended lockdowns are proving challenging for many of us around the country. More and more, we are noticing that it’s the little things that bring delight to our days and make life that bit better…and the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is full of them.

With compact design, hands-free capabilities and sleek (and throwback-ish!) aesthetic, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is an excellent lockdown companion. Here’s how the new device is keeping us connected and making life that bit simpler as we explore new ways to work and play from home.

Go hand-free when your hands are full

Those of us working from home (especially the parents out there) are becoming expert multitaskers. Parents of young children have their work cut out for them – balancing work with keeping the little ones entertained and out of trouble. Whilst parents of school-aged kids have become teachers overnight to keep up with home-schooling.

There’s a lot going on. And it’s not easy to take calls when your hands are full. With the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G in Flex mode, you can take calls when you’re multitasking or when you’re away from your desk – completely hands-free.

It’s as easy as placing your phone on a flat surface (any table or bench) and folding the device on a 90-degree angle to activate Flex Mode. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G becomes a self-standing device that you can use to take calls or video conferences from just about anywhere, no matter how many tasks you’re juggling.

Get ready for your close up

Sharing pictures and videos are one of the best ways to feel close to family and friends, even when we can’t see one another in person. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G’s camera, coupled with Flex mode, can help you snap the best photos possible.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G really shines when capturing photos of the whole family. Forget trying to figure out which family member has the longest arms for selfie-snapping. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G lets you take photos hands-free using a voice command or showing your palm to the screen.

You can even check your Samsung Galaxy Watch4 screen to make sure everyone is smiling and in the shot.

Keep the focus on what’s important

Getting out for a walk or run every now and then is so important. Not only is it a great way to get the blood pumping, it’s one of the best ways to get a fresh perspective when things are hectic in the home office.

If you need to stay on top of your messages whilst you’re enjoying the elements, you can take a look at the cover screen on your Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G, which will notify you of any new messages at a glance, without having to open the device.

If a work emergency pops up and you need to get a little more involved, you can unfold the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip to seamlessly transition to full-screen mode, so you can read your texts in full and read your emails.

When we’re on the go, compactness is key! The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G’s compact design makes it easy to slip into your pocket. It’s also perfect for a belt bag or clutch bag – which will come in especially handy once we can all get out for a fun night or day out again!
