Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 256GB Black SM-F711BZKEXNZ review
The two foldable phones that Samsung will reportedly unveil as soon as July have appeared in a number of leaks , seemingly confirming that the next big Unpacked launch event is approaching fast.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 initial review: Flippin' marvellous
Although not a giant leap forward compared to its predecessor, the Z Flip 3 is a much more fluidly designed device, with that front screen now beautifully integrated. It's the best flip phone we've seen to date (sorry Moto Razr) - and with a price tag to tackle 'normal' flagships head-on, it'll certainly turn some minds around, despite a few inevitable compromises that are part and parcel of a foldable device.- 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

Until now folding phones have only really been for people who have far too much money. £1600? Sure. Damage the fragile screen after six months? Just buy another one, the bank account made that much in interest last month.

Raising the bar on durability and dropping the price on its entry-level foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is a landmark smartphone, costing less than a top-tier iPhone while delivering a foldable screen and a design that feels solid in the hand.- Feels solid and premium, IPX8 water-resistant, Steady shooting in Flex Panel mode
- No telephoto camera, Last-gen 12MP camera spec, Better value imaging elsewhere

Although all of Samsung's announcements for its latest Galaxy Unpacked event were leaked weeks ago , the company officially revealed the new products today. On the smartphone side, we have the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 256GB Black SM-F711BZKEXNZ review
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is probably the best clamshell foldable phone out there right now - not that that says much with the limited competition - though it doesn’t present any major changes to its predecessor.- Just ‘expensive’, not ‘very expensive’, Flip design feels durable
- Still feels wide in the hand, Cameras aren’t fantastic

Samsung's new foldables are formidable thanks to improved mechanics and refined designs....
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G (256GB, Phantom Black) AU - Pristine review
- 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
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 256GB Black SM-F711BZKEXNZ review
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.

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...
