Samsung chose this August to make a presentation that has given much to talk about. The new generation of folding mobiles that evolves the previous models. A great bet for phones that can be easily carried in your bag or trouser pocket. Both the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and the Z Fold 3 come to improve in performance to the primitives. And it cannot be said that they have done a bad job, they have done their best to receive very good reviews from the specialized press. How is the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3? What are the improvements that have been incorporated?
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, more for less
The South Koreans have it very clear: the public needs something different and they are willing to give it to them. This device does not present very obvious changes in terms of design, very similar to the previous one. Nor is the way of folding changed, like an old shell-type mobile. The interesting thing is inside. A 6.7-inch high definition panel that greatly improves the Achilles heel of these devices, the hinge. Once the device is deployed it is hardly noticeable. The resistance has also been improved, which will allow both the opening and the closing to not leave marks. Samsung bets on a self-made AMOLED screen with a 2640 x 1080 resolution.
The Samsung Z Flip 3 has been equipped with 8 GB of RAM, more than enough to make everything work perfectly and the most demanding users enjoy a device designed to withstand a high level of demand. Two versions are offered in terms of internal storage, 128 and 256 GB. At the heart of the phone is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Octa-core processor , which improves the performance of its predecessor by 20%. Intended to provide the best experience and make the device able to move both games and demanding apps fluently.
The screen has a refresh rate of 120 mHz, which provides less visual fatigue and that the experience when it comes to sliding your finger across the panel is maximum, with an unusual fluidity. Its main competitor, Apple, should take note in this regard, although it is expected that the iPhone 13 will already have a screen of these characteristics. Speaking of devices of more than € 1000, it is already non-negotiable.
If there is one thing that stands out about this device, it is that a second screen has been incorporated. It is located on the outside, and it has a size of 1.9 inches. The idea of the engineers and the Samsung development team has been excellent, this screen shows the time in addition to the notifications. Something that will help you not have to unfold the screen so often, helping to preserve its integrity.
As for the battery, a 3300 mA battery. It has been a challenge and it is not surprising that this figure is not as high as that of other devices of the same brand. Do not forget, it is a mobile that folds. Still, it would be enough to last a full day. Samsung has opted for a dual camera system, 12 Mpx resolution and an ultra wide angle lens. As for the front camera, that of the selfies, a generous 10 Mpx will provide the most entertaining portraits. Finally, it has been endowed with IPX8 certification, which makes it submersible up to 3 meters. In any case, we remind you that it is always much more sensible to keep any electronic device out of the water.
Tomorrow, August 27, it goes on sale in physical stores, with a starting price of 1059 euros for the 128 GB model. It will be available in 6 different colors, referred to by Koreans as green, lavender, cream, gray, phantom blac, pink and white.
