Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 updated review: Still flippin' marvellous
Although not a giant leap forward compared to its predecessor, the Z Flip 3 is a much more fluidly designed device. It's now deep into its life cycle, but this is still the foldable phone to beat. With a price tag that tackles 'normal' flagships head-on, too, it'll certainly turn some heads - even if there are a few compromises that are part and parcel of a foldable.- Larger front screen is much better looking and more neatly integrated
- The tidiest flip phone design of any maker to date
- Plenty of power and sturdy software
- Largely similar to predecessor
- Screen coating is unavoidably reflective and ongoing 'crease' issues remain
- No under panel camera (UPC) - as seen in Z Fold 3

We’re not getting too in-depth here mainly because this phone, like the Galaxy Z Fold 3, has been out for a hot minute already. A lot of it is also comparable to the Samsung Galaxy S21 so there isn’t much new in terms of specs to speak about.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 review: A foldable phone for the masses
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is set to be a trailblazer as the affordable price and flagship features make it a real winner for foldable phones. It's high-time we saw some genuine innovation in the mobile phone world and the Flip 3 is really turning heads.- Super cool folding design, 120Hz waterproof display, Flex mode is super useful for media, photos, and video calls
- Battery life disappoints, Gets a bit hot, Chunky bezels

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.

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.

When Samsung announced its first foldable phone in 2019, concerns were immediately apparent about its durability and practicality — not to mention the price. But in three years, the company has proven that its foray into foldables wasn’t just a once-off — and the improvements and strides made with...

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...

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3’s unique selling point is without a doubt its unique foldable clamshell design. If you find this to be very appealing, then the enhanced durability and attractive inner display might persuade you to buy one.
