Introduction
Flip model phones are way classier and stylish on hand when compared with other ordinary rigid smartphones.

Today, with respect to flip and fold models we must accept that Samsung is bossing the market with the foldable screen tech. When you finish reading this article you will know everything there is to know about Samsung’s latest Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G smartphone.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G was launched in the second week of August 2021 and there are a lot of eyes on this phone. Design, Processor, Camera, Performance and other qualities of Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G are going to be discussed below. But before we get to them let’s know what we get for how much.
What’s in the box
The items inside the box are very minimal (listed below) and this is the trend nowadays. The charger is not given so it has to be purchased separately.
- Smartphone
- Data Cable (C to C)
- Ejection Pin
The Galaxy Flip 3 5G starts at $1,000 for the 128GB/8GB variant.
Design, Display, and Colors
The design is obviously attractive because of the flip style and the sleek and shiny finish. Samsung said they are using the material called Armor Aluminum and it is strong. The cover is made of the toughest Gorilla Glass Yet and this protects the phone. The matte finish is great with no finger impressions and slippery nature. The smartphone is light at just 183g and when folded it fits small pockets comfortably. The lock button with fingerprint support and volume buttons are found in their usual place also this is handy while the phone is folded.
The main display is a 6.7-inch dynamic AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080×2640 pixels. The touchscreen is smooth and very responsive and supports a 120Hz refresh rate. This refresh rate upgrade from 60Hz (on the Z flip) is very appreciable. When the phone is folded the cover display (aka. second display) on top is a 1.9-inch touchscreen which can be used in many ways. The accessibility to various apps and functions through different widgets on the cover display makes everything easy and fast. With all that said about the display, there is that uncomfortable crease visible on the main screen from angles. This can be a disturbing sight but if you want to experience flip models then this has to be accepted.
The phone is available in seven different colors. They are Cream, Green, Lavender, Phantom Black, Gray, White, and Pink. Note that the last three colors are Samsung.com exclusives.
