As a seasoned tech journalist who's covered Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked events for years, I can confirm the latest announcements: the innovative Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 foldables are now open for pre-order. Starting at $1,799.99 for the Z Fold 3 and $999.99 for the Z Flip 3, these devices launch August 27 alongside the Galaxy Buds 2 and more.
Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 3 builds on its foldable legacy with Note-inspired features like S Pen support and an optional flip case for the stylus. It's tougher too, boasting IPX8 water resistance, a reinforced aluminum hinge, and a protective film 80% stronger than the Z Fold 2's.
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, it comes in 256GB or 512GB storage options with a brighter front display at 120Hz adaptive refresh. Cameras include three 12MP rear lenses (wide, ultrawide, telephoto), a 10MP cover screen camera, and a 4MP under-display sensor.
Pre-order the 256GB model for $1,799.99 or 512GB for $1,899.99 directly from Samsung in silver, green, or black. Order by August 26 to snag a $200 credit for future purchases. Trade in eligible devices for up to $800 off, with flexible financing available.
This mainstream push for foldables offers enhanced durability, a smooth 120Hz display, and coveted S Pen integration—worth the premium for power users.
