Unfold Limitless Productivity
Work with ease with the Galaxy Z Fold3's power to open three apps at once on the same screen with Multi Window - now compatible with the brilliant S Pen stylus. This makes dropping photos into emails or moving a graph from one Microsoft app to another more seamless than ever – leaving you time to get a head-start on your latest projects. Even in Flex mode, you can split the screen to take hands-free video calls on the top half while simultaneously taking notes on the bottom half.
An Arcade in Your Pocket
Galaxy Z Fold3 is the category-defying smartphone that can do it all. Unfold an immersive 7.6" display, featuring an under-display camera and Dolby Atmos sound so that you can truly lose yourself in your world. With 5G-readiness and a refresh rate that accelerates to 120Hz when you need it most, you can leave low-res, stuttering gameplay in the dust. And the best part? With the combination of a folding glass display and free-stop hinge, you can stream hands-free with the action in the top half and controls in the bottom.
Photography, Reimagined
For budding photographers, a folding smartphone unlocks enormous possibilities - flex your photography skills with two screens, giving you twice the control. Or with Dual Preview, the preview will show on both screens so that you and your subjects can preview the shot before the shutter snaps. On the photographer side, take advantage of the vast unfolded display with the ability to preview shots on the left side while capturing on the right side in Capture & View. With the Z Fold3, taking photos will never be the same again.
Power Through, Come Rain or Shine
Galaxy Z Fold3 is designed to work and play as hard as you do. With IPX8 Water Resistance that protects you in water up to 1.5m deep for 30 minutes*, you can catch up on your favourite show in the bath panic-free. With a strong aluminium frame and scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass Victus – bump and drop protection never looked so good. Plus, the folding design naturally protects the main 7.6" display, keeping it secure when you’re on the go.
*Submersion in up to 1.5m of fresh water for up to 30min (not advised for beach or pool use)

It’s lighter, thinner and more durable than ever before. Samsung also hid the camera under the Main Display for a truly uninterrupted view.
