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
The story of folding phones thus far has been one of compromise. Choosing a folding phone over a standard slab design has generally meant you compromised on performance, durability, and most of all, price.- It folds in half, It costs the same as other high-end phones, It’s water resistant, Inside screen is as good as other premium phones
- Long-term screen durability still a question, Cameras aren’t top tier, Cover screen still too small and limited, Difficult to open one-handed
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 256GB Black SM-F711BZKEXNZ review
Samsung released two previous Z Flip models, but the second one really only added 5G to the first model. I spent months and thousands of dollars on the Galaxy Fold and then the Z Fold 2 , but never had the chance to even see a Z Flip model in person.- IPX8 water-resistant, Reasonable price, Beautiful foldable display, Functional cover display
- Cameras could be better, Not easy to open with one hand, Battery life isn't the greatest
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G (256GB, Phantom Black) - Pristine review
The battery life is a huge problem, even if it’s one that’s less important in the safety of a country-wide lockdown. That is the situation this writer and others like him find themselves in at the moment, at the time this review was published, with a seemingly ongoing Covid lockdown across...- Great design, Solid performance, Nice fast and foldable main screen, Front screen has support for widgets allowing you to check things while keeping it locked, Rear cameras can be used for selfies with the front screen, Supports 5G, Water resistant, Features wireless charging
- Camera could be a little better, Battery life borders on dismal
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 256GB Black SM-F711BZKEXNZ review
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.- Flagship-level application performance, Good front-facing camera, Beautifully designed, Waterproof
- Shorter battery life than other flagships, Primary cameras are just OK
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 256GB Black SM-F711BZKEXNZ review
“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.”

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.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 review: The first foldable you may actually want to buy
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. 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.- 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
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 256GB Black SM-F711BZKEXNZ 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

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...
