Samsung’s newest Unpacked features not one, but two foldable phones. This time, you’ll meet the Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 5G, which is the successor to last year’s vertically-folded tablet.
The Z Fold3 is now thinner when folded, and presents a more dynamic display with support for S-Pen, in which two versions will be made available for the foldable series. Samsung has made the construction of the device sturdier with Armor Aluminum (said to be 10 times stronger than usual aluminum used in mobile phones), Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, and an IP86 dust and water resistance for travels to the pool with your family or friends.
Aside from new hardware, the company tweaked its software to make apps perform as they would on a bigger 7.6-inch Infinity Flex display, including a redesigned menu for multitasking, a taskbar, and app optimization at the device level.
