The new model starts at 128GB of storage, as opposed to the 256GB-only approach of the previous generation - that probably helped with the price tag. The 15W charging capability harks back to even more distant days, though one could argue you don't need much more with the smallish 3,300mAh battery - some consolation. The selfie camera on the inside isn't overly impressive either, with a relatively dim lens and no AF either. The rear setup is headlined by a small-ish 1/2.55' sensor that's a descendant of the one that came in the Galaxy S7 a good while back, the ultrawide has no autofocus, there's no telephoto of any sort. It's mostly the cameras that give us pause. We're going to have to take the good with the bad, however, since there are areas where the new generation has stood still, and they are pretty important. There's also the mandatory chipset upgrade that sees the Snapdragon 888 inside the new Flip. Since we're on the topic of generations, the Flip3 is the third installment in the lineup, with the original Flip and the chipset refresh that was the Flip 5G almost making the 3 in the new model's name make sense.Īnyway, in no particular order, the upgrades include an IPX8 rating for water resistance (the 'X' means it's not rated to be dust-tight), a high-refresh rate on that glorious main Dynamic AMOLED 2X display (the Flip and Flip 5G were 60Hz), and a larger, more useful cover display. In addition to a lower price tag, the Flip3 comes with some meaningful improvements over the previous generation.

Okay, maybe that's a bit of a stretch, but at $999/€1049 for the base version, the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is the most affordable smartphone with a bendy display.
