The question that remains for many is: Are foldable smartphones really ready for the prime time. Are these devices ready to become users' primary device and the next major form factor, moving beyond experimental tag? The answer to this is a Big Yes when it comes to Galaxy Z Flip 3.

Improved design, Solid performance, Unique form factor

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.

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

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...

After spending some time with the Flip 3 in the real world, I’ve come to realize a few things: I like being able to fold a phone, put it away and focus on work or living in the moment. But I can also turn a regular phone face down to do that.

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.

Small and stylish, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G is a clamshell-style folding phone with a decent sized cover screen where you can read your messages, set timers or even take photos. While the camera system won't blow you away, everything else is pretty spot on.

Sturdy, waterproof design, Fast performance and good battery life, 1.9inch cover screen with widgets

Average camera system, Crease could sometimes get in the way, Quite thick when folded up

The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is Samsung’s best shot at making a foldable phone mainstream in a meaningful way. It’s not outrageously priced – in fact, the phone costs less than the iPhone 12 Pro.

If you’re dying for something new and compact, though, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 could well be the most exciting phone of the year.
