Intro to the Galaxy Z Flip3 & Fold3

The next generation of Foldables (specifically, the third) launched in August 2021 – if you’re keen to dig in and learn a bit more about the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G and the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, we’ve got the details here.

The Z Fold3 is the foldable phone that moves with you and what you need – with improved multi-tasking, an under-display camera and a revamped internal foldable screen, this is a sleek phone for every side of your life.

As with the Galaxy S21 Ultra, Samsung has continued to expand out the S Pen compatibility universe – you’ll be pleased to learn the Z Fold3 supports the S Pen. Plus, two different S Pens were announced in 2021, as per usual, sold separately to the phones – the S Pen Fold made with Wacom specifically for compatibility with the foldable surface, and the S Pen Pro that has Bluetooth capability and can be used with a range of other Galaxy devices (of course, ones that are compatible with an S Pen, like a Tab). We’ve got a whole article covering the details of the S Pens and the enhanced multi-tasking if you’re keen on the details.

For a camera you have a 12MP triple lens rear setup with a wide, telephoto and ultrawide lens, and a 10MP lens on the cover – similar in specs to the flagship phones in 2021, like the Galaxy S21 family.

The Z Flip3 is a looker; it’s really becoming more than the nostalgia for the early flip phones into something well and truly modern.

One of the big new things is how much more has been packed into the cover screen (that’s also gotten bigger from the last generation). It’s 4x larger than the Galaxy Z Flip’s 1.1 inch cover screen, coming in at 1.9 inches. From being able to see more of your notifications to taking a quick selfie straight from the cover screen, and transition certain apps from the cover display to the internal screen - there’s a lot of function in a small bit of glass.

The phone is also taking durability seriously - like the Z Fold3 - with Gorilla Glass Victus on the outside + Armor Aluminium on the frame and hinge cover, plus IPX8 rated water protection (of course, clean that up ASAP anyway, damage can happen, plus nobody wants a damp phone).

So pick up your new Z Flip3 in one of the eye-catching colours and enjoy the nostalgia with so many modern features and specs (I’m partial to Lavender, though there’s also Cream, Phantom Black and Green).
