Beyond the merely technical issues, the real news is that with the new Samsung Galaxy Z flip3 the folding phones become accessible.They are not yet objects for everyone but with this model the Korean giant wanted to give a clear signal to the market: the future of telephony is no longer a chimera.
In the United States, the starting price of the model with 128 giga is 999 dollars, under the psychological threshold of the luxury product and much less than what top of the range cost cost.With us the cost is 1099 euros, as usual affect taxes and balzelli, but the price reduction compared to the previous model is relevant: less 400 euros.
In addition, until August 26, with all the promotions available, a user can take home the Galaxy Z Flip3 with a further discount of 500 euros.By doing two accounts it is quite evident that Samsung's product becomes the object of desires: beautiful, modern and affordable.
Un design che convinceThe weapons to seduce the consumer, especially the careful female audience, are all there.The look makes it a chic and elegant object, but also out of the choir compared to the other phones on the market.Samsung has worked a lot on the design to obtain this result and it is difficult not to see the progress compared to the previous model.
The enlargement of the front display, now from 1.9 inches (4 times larger than the previous one), not only increases the usability of the phone in a tangible way but also contributes to making the device more "cool" and recognizable.
Now the display can display up to four text lines at a time and it is possible to scroll notifications.Several service widgets are also available such as: weather, alarms, timer, musical checks, counting daily steps.Unfortunately, however, it is not yet possible to interact and respond to notifications as you can do with the latest version of Mortola Razr.
Un prodotto più robusto
From a constructive point of view, the Galaxy Z Flip3 also appears decidedly solid and robust compared to the version of last year.It is no coincidence that the body has been reinforced with the Armor aluminum and protected with the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.The hinge has also been redesigned and now it is perceived definitely as an integral part of the phone, insured for 200,000 closures.
Samsung has also introduced a new protective film in elasticized pet that makes 80% more resistant the screen than that of the previous versions.Furthermore, I wait far from trivial, the new Z Flip benefits from the IPX8 certification, therefore it is totally waterproof.
The signs of the fold of the FHD+ Dynamic Amoled 2x display (22: 9) of 6.7 inches are clearly perceptible, but when the screen is on they are absolutely irrelevant.Many comments on social media on this element seem exaggerated, the plastic screen cannot be compared to a glass one and the practical act there are no differences.In addition, the new display also earns the 120 Hz refresh.
Per gli amanti delle foto è noHowever, the improvements did not also concern the photographic sector.Let's say immediately that the Galaxy Z Flip3 is not the right product for high -level photography lovers, but work does it adequately.The main camera is a 12 MP wide angle (dual pixel af, ois, f/1.8), flanked by an ultra wide angle always by 12 megapixels (f/2.2, pixel 1.12μm, 123˚).
With the main sensor the photos are also fine at night and in low lighting conditions, a little less brilliant is the secondary chamber and the 10x digital zoom.The 10 MP selfie camera is more than enough.In general something more was legitimate to expect.
Cose da migliorareSlow charging is also an improved aspect.The 3300 mAh battery struggles to reach the end of the day and the 15W top -up is not help to compensate for this limit.Not even 10W wireless charging is of adequate power.In general, the Galaxy Z Flip3 is not an ideal phone for business users even if from a software and hardware point of view this smartphone works more than good.
The smartphone has Android 11 on board and the Snapdragon 888 processor is a guarantee of power.The tested Samsung system makes the phone always fluid and pleasant to use.However, it should be noted that the product we used for the test warming in a significant way.It is not clear if it is a problem of the terminal or a software update is necessary because generally the Qualcomm chipset does not have these problems.
Memory cuts 8 + 128 GB (or 256 GB) are now standard configurations, even if the phone is without expansion with microSD.However, it is Dual SIM: Nano SIM more Esim and obviously supports 5G and WiFi 6. The stereo speaker with Dolby Atmos is good level.
Overall, the judgment of the Galaxy Z Flip3 is more than positive and the price/quality/performance ratio makes it a decidedly attractive product for technology lovers.It is a mature foldable phone and with an accessible cost, embellished with a convincing design with many fashionable colors (Cream, Green, Lavender and Phantom Black, Gray, Pink and White exclusively on the Samsung store).However, there is space for further progress.
