Os Galaxy z fold3 e Z-Flip3 come with several novelties for this segment. In this new generation both devices gained water resistance (IPX8) and an ultra-strong aluminum alloy housing (10x stronger than the previous one). In addition, they became thinner and more compact.
Also check out our video summary of the event:
According to Samsung, the iconic design of the Z-Flip3 was created to make a fashion presentation and resemble a makeup case, in a shape known as a “shell” (or clamshell, in English).
In the case of Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, the main novelty is on of its front camera, being the first of the Galaxy line to be under the screen.

Both devices gained interesting new features on their external screens. In case of Galaxy z flip3 we've had a considerable boost to its external display which is now 4x larger than last generation. In addition, it allows you to add up to 8 widgets on this screen to be able to listen to your music, respond to notifications and other facilities.
Inside the Z-Flip3 we have a 6,7″ screen with 2x Dynamic AMOLED technology with a resolution of 2640×1080 (Full HD+), using the Infinity Flex Display. Along with that we now have an adaptive refresh rate that can reach up to 120Hz.
Already Galaxy Z Fold3 5G brings with it a 2268-inch HD+ (832×6,2) external with 2x Dynamic AMOLED technology, now bringing an adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz. In the case of the predecessor Galaxy Fold2, this same screen reached a maximum of 60Hz. Inside, we have the 7,6-inch QXGA+ main screen (2208 x 1768) with 2x Dynamic AMOLED technology, Infinity Flex and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz.
Protections, water resistance and design 6m695h
Another great novelty for the devices of the South Korean foldable smartphone line involves their protection. both the ZFold3 5G as much as Z Flip3 5G now have the resistance IPX8, allowing devices to be submerged in fresh water up to 1,5m for up to 30 minutes without causing damage to the devices.
On your external screens, we now have protection with the new version of Gorilla Glass Foods, which guarantees 6x more resistance to appliances. The internal and folding screens now have an 80% more durable protective film.
Finally, the devices became thinner, lighter and more compact. Now we have devices with a slightly smaller and lighter body, but with greater use of their screens and cameras. O Z flip 3 will have 3 colors: creme, black, Verde e violet. The ZFold3 can be purchased in black, green and silver.
Cameras 353z5z
O Galaxy z fold3 it will be the first foldable smartphone to have an under-display camera. According to Renato Citrini (Samsung Brazil's senior product manager), this novelty will bring the best experience in both cases: either to record videos and take pictures or to watch your movies and series without any kind of interruption.
At the rear are 3 cameras, one Ultra Wide, One Wide and a Telephoto, all with 12MP, but with the telephoto having the possibility of optical zoom from 0,5x to 2x and digital zoom up to 10x. In addition, they have Gorilla Glass protection to give more security. Finally, we have a front camera of the type punch hole on the device's external screen, with 10MP and 80º field of view.
In the case of Galaxy Flip3 We have 3 cameras in total. The two main ones are on the back of the device next to the external screen and here we have a Wide and an Ultra-Wide camera. Both have 12MP, changing only that the Ultra-Wide's field of view is bigger to reach more content. The front camera is 10MP, enough for you to take beautiful family selfies.
Hardware 5l4oe
Samsung's two foldables come equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G, the best of the brand at the moment, and which already equips the line Galaxy S21 in selected markets. In case of Galaxy z fold3 we have 12GB of RAM and two storage options: 256GB or 512GB. O Galaxy z flip3, on the other hand, has 8GB of RAM and two storage versions: 256GB or 512GB.
The two devices have a capacitive fingerprint sensor on the side and differ a little in the battery. O ZFold3 has 4400mAh and the Z-Flip3 it has 3300mAh. We will know if these numbers are sufficient when the devices are available for testing.
Interface and usability 1q2728
In this regard, the highlight is the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, which brings a redesign to the way the device is used. As is done on some tablets, the operating system is now fully adapted to work with the company's heaviest foldable. The interface has been optimized so that everything fits beautifully and functionally on the ZFold3. This interface also has a taskbar in the right corner for easy access to apps and better handling of multitasking.
In addition, the apps will also be optimized for the design of foldable smartphones, being able to adapt to different screen sizes and a multi-window function for all devices. The camera interface even gains some bonus functions, such as the “capture view”, a feature where you can see about 100 possibilities of images and decide what to do with them.
It is now also compatible with the S-Pen. With its release we will have an exclusive version called S-Pen Fold Edition, without bluetooth, but still with some functions. already the S-Pen Pro will be compatible with any other Samsung device that s digital pens.
In addition to having Bluetooth, it also has an LED indicator, Air Commands and Air Actions. The downside is that the ZFold3 it doesn't have a space to store the pens — as is done in the models of the Galaxy Note line — which takes away some of the ease of having a digital pen for quick notes.
O Galaxy Z Flip3 5G won a big upgrade on its external screen, which will not only serve to read messages, but can now be used to make payments with Samsung Pay, control your music, control the volume and, of course, read notifications.
This is perhaps the biggest and most interesting change of the Z Flip3 in relation to its predecessor and with it, the device becomes even more interesting than it was before. You can literally do a lot of things with it now without having to open its screen, just through its small external screen.
Connectivity and Operating System x3o1y
Samsung's two foldable smartphones bear many similarities in connectivity. Both have Bluetooth 5.0, 5G, NFC, wireless charging and a USB-C port to charge them. They also fast charging.
The big difference here is really on of the Wi-FI. In case of ZFold3 we have connectivity with Wi-Fi 6, while the Z-Flip3 it has the already widespread Wi-Fi 5. In practice, version 6 of WiFi can use 6GHz networks to increase its signal, avoiding connection problems — but it depends on compatible routers. Both devices also e-SIM, the virtual carrier chip, but in the case of ZFold3 your physical drawer s dual SIM + eSIM, while in Z-Flip3 we only have a physical input + eSIM.
In of operating system, both devices come from the factory with the Android 11 using the OneUI 3.1, latest version of Samsung's custom interface.
