Most smartphones look more or less identical. They are often samey slabs of glass that don’t really have much to set them apart physically. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is definitely not one of those. It looks completely different and it’s a really good-looking phone.
Naturally, when you fold it up it does feel quite thick. Measuring 72.2 x 86.4 x 17.1 – 15.9mm, it does add some bulk to your pocket but it’ll still be small enough to fit into it in the first place. At 183g, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G weighs the same as a regular smartphone, which makes it just as comfortable to use and hold.
One of the biggest changes is the build quality. Like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, this is one of Samsung’s toughest phones yet. It’s made from a durable Armor Aluminium, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus and it has the highest IPX8 rating, which means it’ll survive being dunked in water.
