Samsung just announced its latest folding phones with the new Galaxy Z series. The new phones include the Galaxy Z Fold 3 as well as the Z Flip 3, which is pitched as the mainstream foldable phone. You can check out all you want to know about the two folding phones in our detailed copy here, but here are some of the top questions around the Galaxy Flip 3 answered.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset and has 8GB RAM. The phone can be purchased with either 128GB or 256GB UFS 3.1 internal storage. Other specifications include a 3,300mAh battery, 25W fast wired charging, Stereo speakers and Gorilla Glass Victus protection.
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 has two displays. This includes a main internal display which is a foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The panel can also provide a peak brightness of up to 1200 nits and supports HDR10+. It is an FHD+ panel with a resolution of 1080 x 2640 pixels (about 426 PPI).
There is also a second display on the outer cover of the phone. Found next to the two rear camera modules, the secondary display is a 1.9 inches, 260 x 512 pixels AMOLED panel. It is capable of showing the time, notifications,and a few other elements, and can also act as a viewfinder for the camera when you’re taking a selfie with the rear camera setup.
Not exactly. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip comes with an IPX8 certification. This means it is resistant to water, although not completely waterproof. So, the device can handle any water splashes, some rain or even a drop in the pool. It is water resistant for up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. However, keeping the phone submerged for longer amounts of time may damage it. The phone is also still vulnerable to dust and debris, which can still get inside the hinge of the device and may compromise its functionality over time.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 features a dual camera setup on the outside. This includes two 12MP camera sensors. One of them is a f/1.8, 27mm wide sensor with Dual Pixel PDAF and OIS (optical image stabilisation). The other is a f/2.2 ultra-wide sensor with a 123-degree field of view.
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 does support wireless charging at 11W, apart from the 25W wired charging, which remains the fastest way to juice up your device. Additionally, the phone also supports reverse wireless charging at 4.5W, allowing it to wirelessly reverse charge accessories that support the tech, like a pair of Galaxy Buds.
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip comes with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor on the power button. There is no in-display fingerprint scanner on the phone.
