Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G (128GB, Cream) AU - Excellent review
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is the pinnacle of flip phone perfection. One that is eminently usable, pocketable, and has decent specs.- Significant improvement over the previous model, Excellent camera, Cover display is useful for dual preview selfie
- Unusual screen resizing behaviour on some apps and websites, No charger or buds inbox, USB-C 2.0, Barely a day's life with moderate use and slow charging, Big Trhottling issue

- Average battery life

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 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.”
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 review: The foldable future is now ready for everyone
Folding smartphones have a reputation, and it’s one of fragility, compromise, and expense, leaving many people to dismiss them as pricey playthings for the most eager early adopters. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 banishes that reputation thanks to a tougher body, a smaller design, and, most crucially, a lower price. Samsung considers both the Z Flip 3 and its larger sister phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 3, to be mainstream devices. But is this actually true? Yes, it really is. Take your regular mainstream smartphone, something like the Galaxy S21+ or OnePlus 9 Pro, and imagine folding it in half when you’re finished with it. That’s the Galaxy Z Flip 3. It’s not the first phone of its type, but it’s the first that will gain, and deserve, mainstream attention, all due to various enhancements made over the previous models. Therefore, it’s important to understand what benefits it brings to everyday life and the difference between using it and the Z Fold 3. They may both fold up, but Samsung’s two ...- Truly compact
- Water resistance increases durability
- Beautiful screen
- Cutting-edge, eye-catching design
- One-day battery life
- Cover Screen lacks features

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
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 review
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is the best clamshell foldable you can buy, with specs and a price comparable with flagship phones. Its relatively small battery holds it back, as does its lack of a telephoto camera lens, and wary consumers may want to wait to see what innovations come in the next iteration – but if you want a phone that folds up to fit in more bags and pockets, while offering the same performance as flagship phones, the Z Flip 3 is a good option to buy today.- Good lower price
- Good specs
- Refined design and displays
- No telephoto lens
- Middling battery
- Outer display still not terribly useful

We haven’t reached the point where there are no sacrifices when opting for the foldable form factor, but the Galaxy Z Flip 3 gets very close. If you are willing to work around the short battery life, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 delivers a flagship phone experience unlike any other.- Unique and stunning design, Bright, vivid 120Hz display, Excellent camera performance, IPX8 water resistance, Affordably priced
- Terrible battery life, Lacks telephoto
