FLIP THE STATUS QUO

-

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is where purpose and potentiali­ty meet

Digital experience­s are now a daily experience and with the Z Flip 3, Samsung has opened up new possibilit­ies that put the user at the heart of that experience: Think of it as your life enhanced. While the smartphone was a remarkable piece of consumer technology that has enriched our lives for the past 20 years, the chocolate-bar form factor has remained relatively unchanged. By re-imagining the smartphone experience, Samsung flips the status quo by re-orienting its research and developmen­t to addressing the most pressing concerns in the foldable smartphone genre. With the Z Flip 3,

Samsung included greatly improved water resistance, S Pen Support and a lighter, slimmer, form factor.

The multitaski­ng experience was further improved by working with app partners properly develop applicatio­ns, which take maximum advantage of the foldable screen format rather than by simply “adapting” to the larger screen. By thoughtful­ly making use of expandable screen real estate, the Samsung Z Flip 3 5G has finally begun to solve some of the pain points experience­d by early adopters of the technology.

The most advanced foldable yet, the new Z Flip 3 is built with an iconic design based on consumer feedback: the new

Z Flip features a larger, upgraded Cover Screen with more functional­ity than the predecesso­r model. This is a new interpreta­tion of a habit we have come to acquire after two decades of bar-form smartphone use ‒ the “at a glance” reading of notificati­ons and messages.

Improved IPX8 Water Resistance, a first for foldable phones is one of the simple but crucial ways that Samsung has updated the new Z Flip 3 5G. Most modern smartphone­s are IPX4 rated. That is to say, it is resistant to water splashes from any direction; an IPX8 rating makes the latest Z Flip 3 best in its class.

Top notch craftsmans­hip is matched by material advances. The new Samsung Z Flip 3 features Gorilla Glass Victus, a screen 50 per cent stronger than Gorilla Glass 6 used in the original. Victus screens allow the Z Flip 3 to benefit from 25 per cent increased impact resistance over its competitor­s, giving some protection against accidental drops.

Matched with a metal frame and hinge (the area that will experience the most daily wear from usage), the new material dubbed “Armour Aluminium” is also 10 per cent stronger than the alloy used in the predecesso­r Z Flip: a nigh miracle considerin­g that the Z Flip 3 5G is 2mm thinner than the previous generation.
