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) 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

The Galaxy Z Flip 3 got improvements in every area. From price to durability and everything in between.- Bigger & more usable Cover Display, Main Display is now 120Hz, Incredibly low $999 price, IPX8 rated for water resistant, More durable overall
- Battery life is not great, Cameras are just OK, Still very tall, slightly awkward to use

Samsung's new foldables are formidable thanks to improved mechanics and refined designs....
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 256GB Black SM-F711BZKEXNZ review
With a $999 starting price, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is an "affordable" foldable, with a 6.7-inch FHD+ inner display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The outer display is four times bigger and more durable than its predecessor, but the 3,300 mAh battery has us worried about the Flip 3’s longevity.- More affordable, Enhanced durability, Bigger cover display, 120Hz refresh rate on inner display, IPX8 water resistance
- Terrible battery life, Slow charging, No telephoto lens, Crease is still noticeable
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 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.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 256GB Black SM-F711BZKEXNZ review
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
