Following last year`s Z Flip release, Samsung yet again proved that the new incarnation clamshell phone with more capable features is achievable.
The Korean manufacturer has upped the ante in terms of performance by managing to pack a flagship-level Snapdragon 888 processor paired with 8GB RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of storage in a clamshell phone that's half the size of a regular smartphone. The screen, however, is by no means smaller. Thanks to the foldable glass, the device unfolds to reveal a 6.7" 120Hz refresh rate OLED display by flipping the top cover like a laptop with a 180-degree hinge. Although the Z Flip 3 only comes with a 3,300mAh battery, its usage time is 8 to 10 hours, including web browsing, YouTube, and gaming. It also charges faster than its predecessor via a power adapter with Type-C cable or a wireless charger.
As for the camera, expect the dual 12MP cameras with wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle resolutions to effortlessly capture any subject or landscape. On the front, there's a 10MP selfie camera that lets you switch to portrait mode or a group selfie to capture multiple subjects at once.
While it's clear that not everyone is into novelty devices, the Z Flip 3 could pave the way for an even more affordable device that comes with zoom cameras and has a large enough outer display for browsing or social media apps.
For now, the phone is something for trendsetters who are mostly interested in innovative products that can do everything a non-foldable smartphone can do without feeling bulky to carry around.
Aside from having better specs and features compared to the Z Flip, the suggested retail price is a whopping $500 lower. There are many ways to save money.
One way is to buy the Z Flip 3 directly from Hitec Mobile's online shop at a special price as shown above. The second option is to sell your used phone for a substantial amount by going to our trade-in page. This way, we offset the value of your used phone from our website price. Now you not only get more bang for your buck, but you can also replace your old device at the same time!
