Overview
You won’t be disappointed. The Samsung Z Flip 3 is the first folding phone for the masses. Unlike what we have seen so far where folding phones has always been one of a compromise, the latest Flip 3 is the first to deliver performance that is on par with its non-folding, premium counterparts.
It runs on the same processor as the Galaxy S21 and offers a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, IP water resistance, and a 6.7-inch AMOLED 2X display with high pixel resolutions. Plus, this all folds up nicely to a compact 3.4 x 2.8 inches when closed, where you will barely feel it when it fits in your pocket.
