There was a point in time when a flip phone was a state-of-the-art device. Not long after its rise to fame, however, having a flip phone became tragically outdated.
This past August, 8 News Now posted an article about the merits of owning a flip phone. The next day, Samsung revealed its new line of folding devices, and flip phones began their climb back to prominence. Currently, the Galaxy Z Flip3 is one of the most popular smartphones on the market, with some analysts wondering if it might be the device that finally dethrones the iPhone. If you are thinking about purchasing the Galaxy Z Flip3, here are a few things you should know.
The Galaxy Z Flip3 is a phone that was carefully designed to fit the way you live. When opened, it features a spacious 6.6-inch screen, which is essentially the size of the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s screen, and it functions the way you’d expect any smartphone to operate. When you want to put the phone in your pocket, you simply fold it in half, and it becomes the size of a folded wallet. Even in its folded-down state, the Galaxy Z Flip3 has a screen you can use to check messages, control your music and more. Think of this screen as a smartwatch that has been built into a smartphone.
Folding down to a convenient, compact size is only the start of the useful features you can find on a Galaxy Z Flip3. With the clever placement of the camera, this flip phone can serve as its own tripod. This smart design is not only useful for selfies and video calls, you could use it to stream entertainment content as well.
The side-mounted fingerprint scanner on this model means you can easily unlock your phone with one hand. After your phone is open, you will find that the crisp, responsive display allows you to glide across the screen for fast, precise navigation. And if you like multitasking, each half of the screen can run a different app, so you can watch YouTube videos while chatting.
Besides having a rugged hinge, the Galaxy Z Flip3 offers the highest protection against water ingress available: IPX8. The long-lasting battery adjusts power usage based on your daily habits to keep your phone working all day long. Lastly, the Galaxy Z Flip3 is available in four colors and compatible with a number of accessories that enhance the phone's appeal.
This is the flip phone from Samsung that is currently trending. When ordering this phone, you can click on different options to customize the color, memory and talk/text/data plans.
