Introduction
We could swear that Samsung's original entry into the folding displays wasn't that long ago. He certainly feels that way. However, here’s where we have the latest and greatest features of Z Fold3 - a third-generation, or perhaps fourth-generation product, depending on how you calculate the first failed launch of Fold back in the day. Older folders are growing and are already basic, of course, within Samsung's range. In fact, the Korean giant has now been moving Fold devices into the annual system, and this year, the emergence of a new Galaxy Note series appeared. Oh, how the tables have turned.
In fact, Z Fold3 is clearly closer to Noth than ever before. One of the most notable is the S Pen support. The first one with a folding display and a technical challenge to get it out. Speaking of initial challenges and technical challenges, the Z Fold3 is also the first to roll out the sport’s official entry scale. There’s nothing more outstanding, just an IPX8, but an engineering challenge to get it out, too.

The upgrade list on the Z Fold3 includes a selfie camera shown below instead of one old punch-hole. Another impressive movement in engineering, but with both advantages and disadvantages, we will enter. The small external display is very different from this one by trying, but more importantly, we can now upgrade to 120Hz, as the main folding panel.
There is, of course, a small difference between the old Z Fold2 and the Z Fold3 here and there, which we will do our best to highlight in the review. Items such as sturdier aluminum form in the new model. With all that said and done, however, Z Fold3 is no bigger development than its predecessor. It's even bigger. Another fact that has its advantages and disadvantages.
