Samsung Galaxy Z Series – TELUS
The latest flagship release from Samsung offers two devices that challenge the standard design and our expectations of what a smartphone should look like. The vast majority of smartphones on the market today are of a typical rectangular shape with fairly predictable functionality. These two foldable phones enhance the basic utility of a smartphone, providing new options for user comfort, productivity, and convenience.
Foldable Design
While the two devices in the Galaxy Z set are both foldable, the fundamental design of the two phones is quite different. Depending on preferences and what the device will be mainly used for, the Flip 3 and Fold 3 provide diverse options.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3
This smartphone is idea for users interested in impressive displays, high multi-tasking capabilities, and professional grade cameras. The Fold 3 actually offers two full size screens in one device. The external display appears much like the average smartphone, with a 6.2” AMOLED screen. When the device is unfolded, it provides a tablet-like visual performance with a stunning 7.6” AMOLED display.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3
On the other hand, users looking for the ultimate design in compact smartphones would be hard pressed to find a better option than the Flip 3. Rather than a regular sized smartphone that folds out like a tablet, such as the Fold 3, the Flip 3 is a regular sized smartphone that folds in half to fit neatly into your pocket. When unfolded, the Galaxy Flip 3 offers a 6.7” AMOLED display. When the device is folded, the 1.9” cover display is great for checking the time, battery power, and recent notifications.
Foldable Design Perks
Because the Galaxy Z series phones are foldable, they provide users a variety of options for viewing, conferencing, and taking photos. Both TELUS phones can be folded in half and set up vertically or horizontally to view the display without having to hold the device. The phones are folded and stay rigid at almost any angle depending on your particular vantage point. This is also perfect for video calls so the phone can be set down on a surface while talking. It also provides steadier leverage when taking photos, offers ample grip to keep the camera steady.
Productivity and Performance
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Flip 3 are both designed for efficiency and versatile functionality.
