Samsung just can't quit foldable phones: Meet the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3

Samsung has a fever, and the only prescription is—more foldable phones. The biggest name in Android phones has announced the third generation of its foldable Galaxy smartphones: the Galaxy Z Fold3 (go. pcworld.com/gzf3), a flagship model that opens like a book, and the smaller Z Flip3 (go.pcworld.com/zfl3), a less expensive model that opens vertically and hearkens back to the flip phones of the early 2000s.

Both phones include new features to improve durability, which may help mitigate public perception that foldable phones just can’t withstand the rigors of, well…repeated, incessant folding. And you’re going to want a sturdier phone, given Samsung’s price tags: $1,800 for the Galaxy Z Fold3 and $1,000 for the Galaxy Z Flip3. Preorders run through August 26, and if you do take the plunge before then, you can get $200 or $150 off each model, respectively.

GALAXY Z FOLD3 5G: SPECS AND FEATURES

The Z Fold3 comes with S Pen support, and with its expansive 7.6-inch, 2208x1768 main display, it directly targets the Galaxy Note audience, which won’t be getting a new model this year and may now be looking for a new productivity experience. The phone’s Dynamic AMOLED cover screen (which you use when the Z Fold3 is folded up) is a no-excuses 6.2 inches with 2268x832 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate for ultra-fluid screen response.
