Although it seems strange looking at its name, we have not skipped any generation in Samsung’s compact folding phones. The new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 It comes to us as the second generation of this type of smartphone, succeeding the original Flip, and the reason is very simple: the name of the Flip is equated with that of the Fold and, from now on, continues hand in hand with the Fold3.
The new phone respects the format of the previous model, with a screen that folds down on its narrowest side in order to go from a phone with a height of 166 millimeters to one of only 86.4 millimeters. A Galaxy Z Flip3 that fits even more pockets than the previous generation by subtracting a little bit from the previous size. But the Flip3 is more than a folding screen, it is also a high-end with all the laws.
