Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 bring several improvements at a more affordable price

Samsung today lifted the covers off its latest foldable smartphones — the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3, alongside the new Galaxy Buds 2, Galaxy Watch 4 series, and the S Pen Pro. The new foldable smartphones feature several improvements over their predecessors, including design changes, durability improvements, and, of course, new hardware. Here’s a brief overview of Samsung’s latest foldables.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3

The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is the third smartphone in Samsung’s flagship foldable lineup. While it isn’t as big of an improvement as the Galaxy Z Fold 2 was over the original Fold, it does bring some significant changes to the table. For starters, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is a bit smaller, slimmer, and lighter than the Z Fold 2, and it features a more rounded frame. It has a simpler camera island design on the back, it’s the first foldable phone to come with IPX8 certification for water resistance, and it has a more durable build.

Along with the minor design changes, Samsung has also equipped the Galaxy Z Fold 3 with newer hardware. The phone packs a 6.2″ 120Hz HD+ Dynamic AMOLED display over on the front, a massive 7.6″ 120Hz QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED display on the inside, Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 888 chip, 12GB of RAM, and up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

Samsung hasn’t made any major changes to the rear camera setup on the Galaxy Z Fold 3. It features the same triple camera setup as its predecessor, comprising of a 12MP primary camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 12MP 2x telephoto camera. Over on the cover screen, it has the same 10MP selfie shooter as the Fold 2. However, its inner selfie camera has received a significant improvement. Instead of a 10MP sensor, the inner selfie camera now uses a 4MP sensor, and it’s housed underneath the display. This makes the Galaxy Z Fold 3 the first phone from Samsung to feature an under-screen camera sensor.

The Galaxy Z Fold 3 still features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a USB Type-C port. It packs a stereo speaker setup with Dolby Atmos support, a 4,400mAh battery, 25W wired fast charging support, 10W wireless fast charging support, and 5G capabilities (Sub6+mmWave). The phone runs Samsung’s One UI skin based on Android 11 out of the box, which comes with a few additional features to help you make the most of the folding form factor.

As seen in previous leaks, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 also features S Pen support. Samsung has launched two S Pen models for the device — the S Pen Pro and the S Pen Fold Edition. The S Pen Fold Edition is a compact stylus that supports air gestures, button input, and more. On the other hand, the S Pen Pro is an active stylus that offers additional Bluetooth functionality, copy/paste support between devices using the onboard memory, and more.
