For us (and considering the other 12MP and 10MP cameras onboard) it's a worthy compromise. Pixels have been located above it to provide an undisrupted screen and viewing experience. But the trade off is that it's essentially invisible. It is odd to note a downgraded specification when it comes to Samsung's flagship Galaxy Z phone, but the hidden 4MP front snapper is, on the one hand, a downgrade on the 10MP front camera found in the previous iteration. While the main specs in terms of the cover and rear snapper resolution are carried over from the previous model, Dual Preview and Capture View have both been enhanced to utilise screen space more effectively while capturing and editing your snaps. For the iOS-ensconced, it is quite the levelled-up experience to see all your snaps on one portion of the screen, while posing for, and editing, your next shot in the other. The rear camera of the Z Fold 3 is an improved 12MP triple affair (Ultra Wide, Wide with OIS Dual Pixel and Tele with OIS 2x Zoom lenses) with a 10MP cover camera – remember, there's the new super-clear glass to ensure a great shot. What we can tell you is that during our limited time with the Z Fold 3, the sound through the phone's speakers was clear, neutral and expansive for a smartphone. Admittedly, we didn't have enough time with the Z Fold 3 to fully scrutinise (and either endorse or deny) its sonic chops or stamina, but the stats are pretty solid. The battery is a beefy 4400mAh dual affair and you also get stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos. In terms of performance, the Z Fold 3 runs the latest Snapdragon 5-nanometer AP and 5G connection, backed up with a respectable 12GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of built-in storage. For other apps, turn to the new Labs feature in settings, which allows you to actually tailor the size and location of the app window and use it simultaneously with other apps – it's all about facilitating your natural workflow (or enjoying Instagram on the full screen) and it offers several new and neat ways to personalise your smartphone. More apps optimised and tailored for the foldable screen are promised, thanks to expanded partnerships with firms such as Google and Microsoft. Want to play Scrabble, check out the MLS league and check your messages at the same time? Go ahead. By clicking the mini icon, you can now jump to other menus too no more back and forth clicking, the broader part of the display is used while the smaller menu remains. We load up two apps on one screen and one on the other. Samsung has also improved the split view and updated and customised the settings menu on the Z Fold 3, to make better use of that brighter double-screen real estate. S Pen support doesn't extend to the cover screen, just the main display, but it's still a hugely enjoyable and useful new feature. We take notes across the very middle of the device, on the diagonal, and the handwriting recognition kicks in. Want to draw, write, or sign important documents on your smartphone? Now, you can. As the name suggests, the S Pen Fold Edition is exclusively for Fold 3 use. The S Pen Fold Edition (which is being bundled with pre-orders of the Fold 3) still boasts neat features such as the ability to pause a show or take a picture just by clicking. The S Pen Pro is 6g heavier and boasts Bluetooth for air-action support and device-switching – the tip can either be set to fixed or retractable, so it can also be used with other Galaxy devices such as a Galaxy Tab or Galaxy Book. In fact, you can now choose between two S Pen options for the Galaxy Z Fold 3: the S Pen Pro and the S Pen Fold Edition, both specifically designed for the Z Fold 3. In terms of pixels per inch (ppi) you're getting one extra on both the cover (387, up from 386) and main screen displays (374 up from 373 on the Fold 2).Īnd arguably the biggest draw (if you'll pardon the pun) is that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G marks the first time ever that Samsung is bringing S Pen support to its foldable phones. We search for online news and magazines, rotate the device to landscape mode and the screen responds – it's an impressively large display for something that still fits comfortably into a back pocket.
