The Galaxy Z Flip3 5G for the Philippines is undoubtedly better than ever. They’ve made several key improvements to make the form factor even better this year and the fact that they were able to lower the price definitely makes the compelling foldable from the brand.

Larger, More Useful Cover Screen, Improved Build Quality, Cheaper Price Compared to Last Iteration

Poor Battery Life, Noticeable Dip in the Crease

The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is Samsung’s best shot at making a foldable phone mainstream in a meaningful way. It’s not outrageously priced – in fact, the phone costs less than the iPhone 12 Pro.

We haven’t reached the point where there are no sacrifices when opting for the foldable form factor, but the Galaxy Z Flip 3 gets very close. If you are willing to work around the short battery life, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 delivers a flagship phone experience unlike any other.

Unique and stunning design, Bright, vivid 120Hz display, Excellent camera performance, IPX8 water resistance, Affordably priced

Terrible battery life, Lacks telephoto

The question that remains for many is: Are foldable smartphones really ready for the prime time. Are these devices ready to become users' primary device and the next major form factor, moving beyond experimental tag? The answer to this is a Big Yes when it comes to Galaxy Z Flip 3.

Improved design, Solid performance, Unique form factor

If you have been with us for a bit, you may know we typically do a couple of videos for new phones. We’ll do a First 10 Things To Do and then a Tips and Tricks video. For the Galaxy Z Flip 3, we’ve condensed those two concepts into a single video, allowing me to get straight to my full review...

Some ideas make sense straight away, and others need a little time to ferment: three generations in, and the Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 is a much more accessible version of foldable phones, and maybe the first time the technology feels something other than a gimmick.

Samsung's most affordable foldable phone yet, No compromise on performance, Cover Display is much more useful now

Battery life isn't great, Cameras are good, but not stand-out, Long-term durability still to be revealed

When Samsung announced the Galaxy Z Flip 3, I was eager to try it out. You can fold it in half. Flip it open with your wrist one-handed. Use the outside screen when it's closed and place it just about anywhere you want to record videos and take photos. With its lower price, seven colors and the assortment of bold cases that make it look like a toy, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 could be the first foldable phone you'll consider buying. But if Samsung wants the phone to be widely adopted, it needs to deliver on its promised improvements and convince people that they can depend on the Z Flip 3 without compromising their daily phone routine.

With a lower price, 120Hz refresh-rate screen, an "aluminum armor" body and an improved cover screen, Samsung's new smartphone could be the most "normal" foldable available.

Folds in half; Water-resistant; Attractive design; Bigger cover screen; Great main display; Lower price;

Short battery life; Cover screen still could do more; Long-term durability unknown; No dust-resistance rating;

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 is definitely a more polished foldable display smartphone than any of its predecessors. It's tougher, slightly thinner and more portable while also being more affordable at just RM3999.

“The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is the first folding smartphone most people should consider buying. It's compact, powerful, and durable, and costs about the same as its competitors. Plus, it's really fun to use.”

The Galaxy Z Flip3 has a powerful processor and an elegant folding design, but its portability and style come at the cost of battery life.

Shorter battery life than other flagships, Primary cameras are just OK
