Samsung today opened the next chapter in foldable innovation with two new smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G.

Both devices are premium foldable smartphones built with the craftsmanship and flagship innovations that Samsung users have come to love and expect.

The third generation of these category-defining devices incorporate key improvements that Samsung foldable users have asked for, making them more durable with more optimised foldable experiences than ever before.

From iconic design to immersive entertainment, Z Flip3 and Z Fold3 give users unique new ways to work, watch, and play.

For those who need the ultimate device for productivity and immersive entertainment, Z Fold3 is a true multitasking powerhouse with next level performance, an undisrupted 7.6-inch Infinity Flex Display, and the first ever S Pen support on a foldable device.

For those who want the style that comes with function, Z Flip3 is the ideal device with its sleek, compact, and pocketable design, enhanced camera features, and a larger Cover Screen built for quick use on the go.

“With Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3, Samsung is once again redefining the possibilities with foldable smartphones that empower users with the flexibility and versatility needed for today’s fast-paced world,” said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. “As a pioneer and industry leader in the foldable category, we’re proud to build on our legacy of innovation with the Z Fold3 and Z Flip3. These devices equip consumers with technology that unlock new ways to maximise and enjoy every moment with an ecosystem built on openness and innovation.”

Samsung users expect foldable devices that are built to last.

That’s why this generation of Galaxy Z devices are built with unrivalled craftsmanship. For the first time ever on a foldable smartphone, Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 are equipped with IPX84 water resistance, so users no longer have to worry when caught in the rain.

Both devices are also built with our new Armor Aluminium along with the toughest Corning Gorilla Glass Victus to protect against scratches and accidental drops. In addition, both devices include a new protective film made of a foldable PET, optimised for the Main Screen panels.

Samsung continues its legacy of foldable leadership with rigorous processes to create devices that remain reliable after years of use. The revolutionary Hideaway Hinge, first introduced on Galaxy Z Flip, enables the devices to stay in place at any angle for innovative user experiences with Flex mode.

The enhanced Sweeper technology, the bristles inside are now shorter, ensuring dust and other particles stay out of the Hideaway Hinge while maintaining a slimmer design.

Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 have been put through a strenuous folding test, verified by Bureau Veritas, to withstand folding 200,000 times. Plus, they’re equipped with the latest powerful 5nm AP and 5G8 band compatibility for the best experience inside and out.

Unfold Z Fold3 to immerse yourself in theatre-like viewing experiences and stay fully engaged in your favourite content on the uninterrupted 7.6-inch Infinity Flex Display, thanks to their new under display camera technology.

With minimum pixels applied on top of the camera hole, Z Fold3 features an increased viewable area so users get a near unrestricted canvas for their favourite apps. With the new Eco display technology applied to the screen, it’s 29% brighter while consuming less energy.

Experience even smoother scrolling and quick device interaction with the Super Smooth 120Hz adaptive refresh rate now on both the Main and Cover Screens.

For the first time ever on the Galaxy Z series, Samsung is bringing its beloved Note series technology to Z Fold3: S Pen functionality.

Users can take advantage of fully optimised S Pen features on their foldable screen, which is a perfect fit for on-the-go multitaskers.

On Z Fold3’s massive Main Screen, it’s easier than ever for users to jot down notes during a video call or check off a to-do list while reading emails, Z Fold3 users can power their creativity and productivity with our fan-favourite S Pen.

S Pen for Z Fold3 comes in two options: S Pen Fold Edition and S Pen Pro. Both feature a specially engineered retractable Pro tip with force limit technology to protect Z Fold3’s Main Screen for peace of mind while using the S Pen.

This is Samsung’s best S Pen experience yet, with an even lower latency for true-to-life composition ensuring that notetaking and sending messages is seamless and intuitive.

Productivity seekers will also enjoy Z Fold3’s enhanced Flex mode features, which let you do more at once, such as join a video call on the device’s top screen while checking meeting notes on the bottom.

Plus, they can use Z Fold3’s new Taskbar to quickly switch between apps without returning to the Home screen.

Z Fold3 is built with a sleeker, thinner, and lighter design for even better portability than Galaxy Z Fold2. It comes with a choice of three timeless colours: Phantom Black, Phantom Green, and Phantom Silver.

Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is the ideal balance of style, function, and nonstop fun while Z Flip3 empowers users to express themselves with bold colour options, a sleek design, and premium features.

With Galaxy Z series, users will get access to more apps that take full advantage of the foldable screen. Samsung is expanding partnerships with leading companies like Google, Microsoft, and more, so users can enjoy more of their go-to apps tailored to their unique needs.

When users unfold their device, they can view a presentation in full-screen detail and see their co workers’ faces underneath. For the best productivity at work, Microsoft Outlook’s dual-pane mode for Samsung foldables enables users to read a full email while previewing others on the side, just like a desktop experience.

To bring users even more choice, Samsung’s new Labs feature offers users the ability to optimise even more apps to the foldable screen when they need.

Furthermore, Samsung continues to rethink how app developers can create amazing user experiences from anywhere.

To provide them with more options while ensuring high-quality optimisation, Samsung supports Remote Test Lab (RTL) giving app makers the ability to directly install and test their applications in real-time, from wherever they are.

Joining the Galaxy Z Series are Galaxy Buds2 – designed for a comfortable fit made to be worn all day, and provide premium sound quality so you can immerse yourself in the moment, wherever you are.
