From style to function: the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is SAMSUNG’s best flip phone to date!

 The Galaxy Z Flip3 5G remains to be unmatched when it comes to the new and exciting features introduced this year. Apart from showcasing a foldable form, it is the only flip device in Galaxy to achieve an IPx8 water-resistance rating.

With its compact form, the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is designed to fit perfectly in the hand, not like the usual phones with a bulky build. Its various color options and large Cover Screen enable users to express their individuality, while features like Flex Mode and Multi-Active Window take multitasking to the next level.

Samsung went to great lengths to refine the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G’s form. The result is a design that not only looks soft but feels smooth as well. The front, back, and sides have all been meticulously polished.

The compact form of the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G allows users to carry the device in any pocket or small bag. It is half the size of a smartphone when folded, so it can perfectly fit in the palm, too.

Various color options and accessories that are suited to users’ unique tastes add to the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G’s external charm. With Green, Lavender, Cream, and Phantom Black, users have plenty of options to choose from. For those who enjoy decorating their phones, Samsung recommends taking a look at the device’s accessory lineup. Users can decorate their phones with a clear case, including a ring phone grip, a strap case, and various palettes, in a way that’s cute yet distinct.
