This week, Samsung announced a slew of new products. We can cite connected watches Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic or even the Galaxy buds 2, but what interests us here is the third generation of foldable smartphones from the Korean giant.

One of the most notable elements with this new generation is the dramatic drop in the price of foldables it causes. Because one of the two devices, the Galaxy z flip 3 is sold for 1059 euros, almost 500 euros less than the previous Flip. Above all, a price that approaches as much as 1000 euros suggests that, that’s it, the foldable is becoming more accessible.

The Z Flip 3, a successful landing?

Admittedly, such a price continues to rub shoulders with the very high end, but let’s say that if some were previously ready to spend a little more than 1000 euros for a very high-end smartphone, it was not certain that they were ready to go up to more than 1500 euros.

Beyond these financial considerations, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 has strong arguments for it, such as a very large 6.7-inch AMOLED screen in Full HD +, or one of the most powerful SoCs on the market, the Snapdragon 888.

With this smartphone, Samsung is also putting a lot of emphasis on the “stylish” side of the flip-flop laptop, still very much in the minds of many users. On this model, Samsung has also enlarged the outer screen, which now measures 1.9 inches and displays many features. In addition, unlike its big brother, the Fold 3, once unfolded, it retains this side “normal laptop», Where the Fold when unfolded is more like a tablet.

Let’s move on to Galaxy z fold 3 exactly. Let’s start by saying that it is in an even higher price range. The ultra ultra high-end one could say, since it costs 1799 euros.

It justifies this price by many new technologies, such as the presence of a camera under the screen once unfolded, the foldable screen of course, but also the reinforcement of its resistance using a frame cut in a ultra-resistant aluminum.

Let us not forget either the support of a brand new S-Pen, which completes the placement this Fold 3 as a replacement for the Galaxy Note 2021 as a productivity-oriented smartphone.

The addition remains salty to afford a foldable smartphone, but technology and resistance are improving, gradually bringing its products to join the field of the viable. There is no doubt that for some, the smartphone revolution is not yet here. Maybe we’ll have to wait for roll-up screen smartphones for that?
