Weeks before the unveiling of the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Samsung Galaxy Fold 4 has now received a massive price cut. So, let's take a look at the specs, features, official price and availability of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3.

Samsung Z Fold 3 Overview:

Design and Display

The Z Fold 3 flaunts a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X outer screen with HD+ (2260 × 832 pixels) resolution and a 7.6-inches QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display with FHD+ (2208 × 1768 pixels) resolution.

Retaining the Adaptive refresh rate, the main display, as well as the cover display, can dynamically adjust the refresh rate based on the content on the screen. For protection, the exterior screen and back cover are covered with a Gorilla Glass Victus. In terms of design, the rear panel gets a new look with the pill-shaped camera arrangement. The hinge is built with Armor Aluminum that is 10% more durable to protect the interior parts of the hinge. Plus, this time around, the Fold receives an official IPX8 certification for water resistance — the first time ever on a foldable device. All of this sums up to make Fold 3 80% more durable than Fold 2.
