The original Samsung Galaxy Z Flip was an interesting phone, as it was a throwback to the flip phones that many of us grew up with. But it was a first-generation product and suffered from first-generation issues as a result.

IPX8 rated, The cover display is actually useful now, It feels like a regular phone when opened, The crease is barely visible most of the time and doesn’t get in the way of navigation

Battery life is just not great, It’s slippery and cases make it even bulkier, Can’t open it with just one hand, Power button fingerprint reader is awkward to use, Sub-par camera performance

This phone folds horizontally across the centre of the screen it means when open you are able to have 6.7 inches of depth in a single view. When your finger moves across the central area of the screen there is a little resistance and if you look closely at the darkened screen you can see the crease...

I love funky smartphone devices. I was a huge slider fan with the Palm Pre. I still enjoy the feel of an old-school QWERTY from BlackBerry. So, when Samsung started the folding movement I’ve been intrigued from day one. I recently got a chance to review the Galaxy Fold 3 and came away impressed.

It's a one-of-a-kind device and it's cool, but there are a few problems lurking So, should you get it? That’s a weird question to answer for a one-of-a-kind device like the Z Flip 3.

When Samsung announced its first foldable phone in 2019, concerns were immediately apparent about its durability and practicality — not to mention the price.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is much better than its predecessor in almost every respect.

Best foldable form factor combined with 5G, Snapdragon 888, IPX8 certification and 120 Hz refresh rate.

Same camera as its predecessor, and otherwise it lacks optical zoom. Biggest problem, however, is the battery of just 3300 mAh, which has a hard time holding power for an entire day.

Foldable devices aren’t a brand new category in the smartphone world, but they are still in infancy. OK, so maybe not totally infancy, but foldables are still not mainstream, and most users probably won’t be ready to commit to them just yet.

Form factor is seriously versatile, cover display aids in taking high-resolution selfies, overall flagship-level performance

Battery life is shorter than other similarly-priced phones, folding form factor requires a learning curve, Android apps aren't entirely optimized

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present
