Just around two and a half years after Samsung’s first (unsuccessful) attempt at releasing the original Galaxy Fold, it looks like foldable smartphones are already becoming mainstream, going down in price, up in innovation and sophistication, as well as getting a much bigger retail push than ever before.
Keep in mind that a microSD card slot is just one of the things deemed essential a few years back that’s now missing from the Z Flip 3’s spec sheet, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack and a charger in the box.
Of course, there are a few other imperfections and weak points you need to consider before pulling the trigger here, the most notable of which has to be the mediocre battery life provided by a much too small 3,300mAh cell to keep up with the aforementioned SoC and main display.
