Discover the 5 most valuable enhancements and innovations on the Galaxy Z Fold3, a device built to enhance work efficiency.

This year, the Galaxy Z Fold3 has made a striking impression with a significantly better price compared to its predecessor. Not only that, but this foldable smartphone also brings worthwhile improvements and enticing new technologies.

Let's dive into the 5 most notable highlights of the Fold3 - the smartphone that will greatly optimize your work performance.

1. Comprehensive improvements in durability, with IPX8 water resistance

Samsung proudly showcases the Galaxy Z Fold3 as the world's first foldable smartphone with IPX8 water resistance standard. This means your phone can withstand splashes, rain, and survive at depths of 1 meter, a feature that is truly valuable.

Dispelling durability concerns, the Z Fold3 has reinforced frame edges with Armor Aluminium material, 10% more durable than other Samsung smartphones, combined with Gorilla Glass Victus for overall ruggedness.

The crucial part is the flexible inner display, with a special design featuring a small ridge to prevent dust from entering when the device folds. As for durability, you can rest assured that this year's Ultra Thin Glass has been improved by 80% compared to previous generations.

Samsung prioritizes screen durability, making special adjustments as the Fold3 now supports the S Pen stylus.

2. Improved responsiveness and brightness of the screen

When unfolded, the inner screen measures a large 7.6 inches, using a Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel for vibrant, sharp image quality. This year, Samsung has improved brightness by 29%, enhancing visibility in outdoor conditions.

The outer display is also a highlight, as Samsung has addressed user complaints about its small size. With the Fold2, they made it borderless, and now with the Fold3, the 6.2-inch secondary screen boasts a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring consistent quality with the main inner display for a seamless experience.

3. Here comes the S Pen, let's get creative

After much anticipation, Samsung has finally brought the S Pen to the Fold series. Perhaps this is the most practical idea for large-screen devices like the Fold3, turning it into a more effective work tool.

We'll have all the familiar features from previous Galaxy Note models, with handwriting and drawing on a large screen.

There will be 2 versions: S Pen exclusively for the Fold3 series and the S Pen Pro, compatible with all other supported devices such as the Galaxy Tab, S21 Ultra, etc. Of course, these pen tips are specially designed with elasticity to work well on the Fold3's flexible screen.

The Galaxy Z Fold3 has become and will continue to be the official successor to the Galaxy Note 20 Series, a highly considerate choice for office workers and creative professionals!

4. Samsung's first under-display camera

It can be said that the completely borderless screen with an under-display camera is a perfect evolution for Samsung's Infinity-O display, which has been used for 3 years.

As of now, this technology appears on very few smartphone models and is not yet perfected. With the Fold3, I still notice that the selfie camera area on the screen isn't completely gone, still showing pixelation.

With a 4 MP resolution camera and large 2-micron pixel size, the Fold3 is perhaps more suitable as a camera for online meetings, making good use of Flex Mode.

However, if you want to take selfies, using the outer screen or rear camera would be much better.

5. Enhanced user experience with a professional interface

In general, Android phones aren't well-supported by Google for large-screen devices, so Samsung has customized their own interface to provide users with a professional experience on the Fold3.

Firstly, Flex Mode allows you to fold the Fold3 at different angles, and the apps automatically optimize the display space accordingly. This feature is also very useful in apps like the camera, allowing the device to stand on its own.

Samsung collaborates with Microsoft to optimize the Fold3 for displaying more content and offers many features integrated with the S Pen to enhance user productivity.

Conclusion

Apart from upgrades in specifications such as Snapdragon 888, 12 GB RAM, or 521 GB ROM, what I find most valuable is the comprehensive improvement in durability, including IPX8 water resistance standard.

Furthermore, the Fold3 brings enhanced professional productivity with software optimizations for convenient multitasking, quick file editing with Microsoft Office, and finally, the S Pen to fully utilize the potential of a Z Fold3 'mini tablet.'

Above are the improvements that I consider most valuable on the Galaxy Z Fold3 generation, which feature do you like the most? Remember to leave your comment below!
