Samsung's August Galaxy Unpacked 2021 event happened just last week and we were graced with a few devices. We were graced with two smartphone devices as well. There is a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. The announced and launched devices should have come as a surprise though. Samsung has been aligning themselves to prioritize development for foldable devices and betting their future on it. 

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 are big step ups from their predecessors though. It seems like they made the devices a little thinner, every so slightly thinner. They designed them to look a little more seamless too. If we have to describe how they look, they look great.

For the Z Flip 3, Samsung has also increased the size of the external display which should add more to its functionality. Everything that was great about the first Z Flip is retained in the device too though, except for the overall design. At the same time, the Z Flip 3 can truly be a modern flagship with modern internals in 2021.

The Z Fold 3 is supposed to address plenty of the UI inconsistencies with the older devices. It is also the first Samsung Galaxy device with an under-display camera. The under-display camera is a mere 4-Megapixel, but you will not use it most of the time with the presence of three 12-Megapixel cameras out the back. 

The biggest step up they made though is in the pricing. Well, it may sound more like a step down with big price cuts compared to its predecessors. The Z Flip 3 starts at below MYR 4,000 and the Z Fold 3 starts at below MYR 7,000. This should make the devices a lot more accessible to people. Keep in mind though you do not get an S Pen for that price.
