A comprehensive review of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3
- Design
Comparing it to its predecessor, there's no significant difference. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 still maintains its signature foldable design with a large hinge. When closed, it's a compact square, but when opened, it offers an intriguing 6.7-inch experiential space.
However, sticking to the same old design isn't Samsung's style. In this new generation, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 features gaps between its edges and surfaces when closed. On the back, it employs a dual-tone effect, with the top portion sporting a mysterious, elegant black housing the secondary screen and camera cluster. The bottom, taking up more space, exhibits different color options like lavender, creamy white, military green, and glossy black (which will be lighter than the black above).
Additionally, the back of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, providing better durability and resistance against scratches, cracks, and impacts.
It can be said that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is one of the first two foldable smartphones (including the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3) with IPX8 water resistance, meaning it can withstand being submerged in up to 1.5m of water for a maximum of 30 minutes, and still function properly afterward.
- Display
The screen of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 has also seen some improvements. With a slightly shallower fold, swiping gestures over the fold area are no longer hindered too much, combined with Full HD Plus resolution, it certainly meets the usage needs of the majority of users today.
Outdoors, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 still performs admirably in its display function. Additionally, users can adjust the screen refresh rate up to a maximum of 120Hz to suit their needs. For those who want to save battery, it's advisable not to use the highest 120Hz setting.
- Camera
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 features two cameras on the back, with the main 12MP camera integrating Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and a 12MP ultra-wide camera.
The front camera of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 boasts a 10MP resolution, providing relatively decent selfie shots (pleasant colors, smooth skin, rosy cheeks) that can rival top flagship devices like the iPhone 12 series and iPhone 13 series.
One unique feature of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is that even when folded, it can still take selfies thanks to the external secondary screen.
- Performance
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is powered by the Snapdragon 888 octa-core chip, ensuring swift performance no matter the task. Its performance rating is also impressive, with an average Geekbench 5 score of 2801.
Additionally, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 runs on Android 11, providing an immensely enjoyable user experience thanks to the latest features from this operating system.
- Battery Life & Charging
For a premium smartphone like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, it's disappointing that it only houses a 3300mAh battery. Real-world usage reveals that the battery performance isn't outstanding, and instead, it tends to drain quickly, leaving many users frustrated.
So, if you're considering a smartphone with a foldable design and aren't too concerned about battery issues that might not last until Monday, then the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is worth considering.
