The Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3 may have been cut from the same fabric, but they could not be more different.The flip may seem easier to carry out, but it is easier to say it than to do it. I have here why it is why it isThus: Fold has a lot of work because its usefulness does not need to justify itself so much. A telephone that becomes a mini tablet will always be easier to sell than a phone that becomes, well, nothing.

Remember, Samsung wants, and needs desperately, to make the phones with folding screen are the mainstream and while discovering how to make the fold more affordable, the flip must assume an even greater responsibility. After everything, it is the option ofmore affordable folding telephone at this time. The last flip cost the whopping of RS 1.10 Lakh in the launch. The new flip, only RS 84,999. This means that, today, you can buy a new 'folding' phone of Samsung that ischeaper than an ultra galaxy s21.

Without a doubt, the price is attractive, but that is only part of the equation. The other half is, if - or not - the Flip 3 is in fact more useful - or practical - than the model to which it is replacing, not simplyAnother novelty. The response to that is still complicated.

Galaxy Z Flip 3 | What is good

Look, there is no doubt that Flip is a successful.Demographic group to which Samsung seems to sign up to a large extent. But all this is not surprising now, right?

In any case, the latest version, Flip 3, only amplifies things and for a good reason. You would want this piece of high fashion technology in your life and Samsung will ensure that you want even more attracting it through a billionof other sets of elegant accessories that are being implemented. The 'silicone cover with galaxy z flip3 5g' ring that is shown above is sold separately by RS 3.099, for example. Flip 3 also comes in a series of new finishes inTwo tones, although only two, black and cream, are arriving in India at this time.

The cover screen now has almost 2 inches and a slightly higher resolution.

The only other phone that can do all this today is the Motorola Razr 5G and, although it is surprising to see it, and very nostalgic, the Samsung approach is more modern, elegant and coherent. In addition, it has much better specifications. In aWord, Flip 3 offers a better package.

Durability is the most important factor when it comes to a folding screen such as flip 3. Although no one can guarantee how it remains long -term, there are 'several' things that Samsung has done this year to guarantee Flip 3 ismore wear resistant. The last Flip was not so bad in this regard, so all updates in addition to that are welcome and much appreciated.

What is impressive is that Flip 3 has given the same level of attention as fold 3, which costs almost double, and because its relatively compact factor means that there are considerably less moving parts, all thisIt invariably gives a little more peace of spirit. At least, this is how we see it.

So what are these updates?

Well, to begin with, Flip 3 uses more resistant and top quality materials. The body is almost entirely madeIt also receives the new Samsung armored aluminum frame, also seen in fold 3, which is said to be 10 percent more resistant than the material used in the previous generation. Finally, but not least, it has an IPX8 classification, which means that it is water resistant (up to 1.5 m for a maximum of 30 minutes), although there is still no protection against dust and debris.

From the point of view of use, both hinge and magnets seem more tight., there are two great improvements here that stand out instantly. The tactile experience is softer and the pre -installed screen protector collects much less fingerprints. I even even manages to stain it, you can clean it with a wet cloth, something that I could not do with the previous generation.

All this does not mean that caution can be lost. There is no way to avoid the fact that you have to handle it carefully. What is worth, Flip 3 is a big bold step in the right direction.

Upon reaching that important interior screen, now, it may seem the same as last year with size and everything;There is also the fold that will surely notice from time to time, but change to the configuration and find that it is faster. It has an update frequency of 120Hz.Ary that you would probably not notar so instantaneously it is the general brightness. Samsung has risen it very slightlyTo help outdoor readability, which was a concern in the last flip, but there is still a margin of improvement.

The cover screen also, finally, has obtained a certain degree of practicality in this generation. Now it has almost 2 inches and a slightly higher resolution, so taking selfies in the dual preview is less discordant. It can "show" moreInformation / cards and is customizable to some extent, but it is what it is: a living room trick. The Razr motorcycle screen gives you more space and more applications to justify its existence. With luck, the next flip will try to address that.

The ‘fold’.

Where Flip 3 does not pull blows is in the hardware. As expected, it is packing flagship.Well (r), there is no doubt about the potential of flip 3. There are enough energy there, in addition to support for 5g and Wi-Fi 6, and with the excellent history of Samsung with software lately, Flip 3 is prepared for the future andprepared for the future.

There are a couple of new features that the company has added to squeeze more its factor in a unique way. The panels flexibly allow you to place the phone at an angle of 90 degrees and provide additional controls in the lower half while its main applicationIt is executed at the top. This is particularly useful for applications that do not yet admit flexible mode by predetermined.A divided screen. All this is part of a dedicated section, called Labs, which is part of version 3.1.1 of Samsung.

Galaxy Z Flip 3 | What could have been better

Samsung's great approach with this year's folding phones was to make them as compact and solid as possible. That leaves space for two possible gaps. Simply there is not enough space to dimension the battery or put an elaborate cooling. And the Snapdragon 888, well, he is an established resource consumer. The impact of all this is notable, even more so on the smallest flip 3.

The capacity remains unchanged (3300 mAh) with respect to last year and the battery life is, in the best case, average. His mileage can vary according to the use, but Flip 3 can barely spend one day without beingPlugged even when it is attentive. The waiting times are not good either. The load also has a limit of 15 W (wirelessly, only 10 w) and Samsung does not include any charger in the box, which is more serious.

It is not surprising that Flip 3 hot when stressed. The only good thing is that it is not obtained at the expense of experience.

The dual speakers are equally pleasant to have and, in general, they issue a good audio, but we have surely heard better from Samsung. I am the Galaxy S21 ultra. It also provides you with more tight haptics. For some curious reason, the flip3 It is not compatible with Dex.

The average cameras are becoming a recurring theme within folding phones and Flip 3 does not change that. The configuration of the rear camera is being carried out, so it still obtains dual 12MP cameras (great angle + ultra greatAngular) .The front camera, which is 10 MP, is also the same as that of the last flip.

The main camera takes well detailed photos with good light with a little excessive sharpness in the publication. The great angle camera usually takes softer photos. It is not a bad phone with camera, but it pales compared to the work itselfof Samsung, also known as Galaxy S21 Ultra. The effect is even more pronounced in low light conditions, where Flip 3 cameras are easily surpassed by a flood of Xiaomi telephones, alive, not to mention Samsung himself.

There has been a lot.

Flip 3 and Fold 3 represent the pinnacle of the Samsung and Research and Development Skill.Al Flip 3, that is the true MVP of the current Samsung line, which offers an eclectic mix of style and substance for those for whom 'regular' is simply not enough.

Apart from the cameras and the average battery life, there is not much to complain here, which, honestly, is a great victory for Samsung. The rhythm with which it is producing them, it will not spend much time before the phonesFoldable go from being a conventional alternative to an absolute purchase. I could be incredible, what do you think?

PROS: Fold, fast and soft internal screen, good performance

Cons: the cameras could be better, average battery life, without support for S-PEN
