The smartphone will be officially released on 27th August.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 price: how much does the smartphone cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 will cost \u00a3949. And while it is still admittedly a lot of money, that\u2019s a good \u00a3280 less than the older Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G model that was released last year.<\/p>\n<p>It is also the cheaper of Samsung\u2019s two new foldable phones. The <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-3-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3<\/a> is considerably more expensive at \u00a31,599.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 specs: what does the Samsung smartphone look like?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" style=\"padding-bottom:\"> <img class=\"&quot;wp-image-1311005\" align=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/08\/Samsung-Galaxy-Unpacked-August-2021-5a6971d.png?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;Samsung\" title=\"&quot;Samsung\" \/><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Design<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Marketed as Samsung\u2019s \u2018stylish\u2019 option, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 2 will be available in seven colours. These are; Phantom Black, Green, Lavender, Cream, White, Pink and Grey.<\/p>\n<p>Like with the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, the brand has focused its attention on improving the durability of the Z Flip 3. Both smartphones come with IPX8-rated water resistance, which is the highest standard on any foldable phone.<\/p>\n<p>The hinge has also been upgraded. Now made from a material Samsung calls \u2018Armor Aluminium\u2019, the hinge is 10% more durable than on the Z Flip 3\u2019s predecessor. It is also lighter.<\/p> <h3><strong>Display<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The main display on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is a 6.7-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X with an excellent 120Hz refresh rate. That\u2019s a big improvement from the 60Hz refresh rate found on the Galaxy Z Flip.<\/p>\n<p>This display comes with a new protective film that is 80% more durable than on the previous generation, and there\u2019s Gorilla Glass Victus across the cover display.<\/p>\n<p>The big difference is with the display on the cover. Now 1.9-inches, the outer Infinity Flex Display is four times bigger than on the original Z Flip. This should make the display much more user-friendly and makes notifications easier to read, and it now enables you to pay with Samsung Pay without even opening the phone.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Camera<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Along with the 10MP front selfie camera, there is a dual-camera set-up on the rear of the smartphone. These two cameras are covered by Gorilla Glass with DX for extra protection. This set-up is made up of two 12MP cameras; one wide-angle and one Ultra Wide.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for the best SIM offers of the month?
