Samsung foldables lineup is official: $1, 799 for the Fold 3, $999 for Flip 3

Today is Samsung Unpacked, which has turned out to be a big foldables show . The company has made the widely leaked Galaxy Z Fold a few and Galaxy Z Flip three or more official.

First up is the Z Fold 3, Samsung’s flagship foldable. The particular Z Fold 3 is a phone that opens up into a tablet, featuring a 7. 6-inch, 2208×1768 flexible OLED display on the inside and a 6. 2-inch, 2260×832 OLED display on the outside. The Fold is getting a few big changes this year. First, both screens are 120 Hz. The Fold 2 was 120 Hz on the inside and 60 Hz outside, so the update provides a nice bit of consistency.

The device sports Samsung’s foldable “Ultra-thin glass” as a display cover, and there’s a layer of protective plastic over top of that. On previous models, the top, plastic display surface was subject to scratches and wasn’t as friction-free as the real, glass smartphone, but the particular internal layer of ultra-thin glass provides some much-needed rigidity to the plastic display surface. Special says it has improved typically the plastic display cover, which will be “80% more durable” than previous plastic covers.
