Galaxy Z Fold 3
The new model is mostly reminiscent of the previous generation and rotates on an axis that unites its two parts.
On the front of the device in closed mode is a 6.23-inch screen, with a Super AMOLED panel, with QXGA + resolution and a layout of 2260 by 816 pixels.
The inner (main) screen comes in a size of 7.6 inches - similar to the previous generation, with support for a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a Foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel, with QXGA + resolution and a layout of 2208 by 1768 pixels.
It also features a non-thin rim and a front-facing camera embedded under the screen.
Like the company's other flagship devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 5G chip, alongside 12 and 16GB of working memory (RAM) and 256,512GB of non-expandable storage.
There is also a pen.

The Fold 3 has a battery with a capacity of 4,400 mAh and the option of reverse charging - as in the previous generation - which will allow you to charge on the backs of smartphones or other products that support wireless charging.
The device also supports charging at 20 watts.
On the side of the device can be found a fingerprint sensor, and in addition it is resistant to immersion in fresh water at a depth of 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes in the IPX8 standard.
However, it is not recommended for use at the beach or pool and is not dust resistant.

As for the photo setup, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 incorporates a 10-megapixel front-facing camera (selfie), alongside another camera that is embedded below the display and will have a resolution of 4 megapixels.
This is Samsung's first smartphone that combines technology - similar to Shiomi and ZTE devices.
Main photo set includes a main sensor with a resolution of 12 megapixels, a 12-megapixel camera with a wide angle, a telephoto lens with a 12-megapixel sensor including the option of digital zoom up to 10 times
and the pen returns:
after deciding to part with the Galaxy Note brand (At least in the coming year), Samsung announced tonight that the new smartphone will support the stylus pen - S Pen - which has so far only been identified with the Note series.
Galaxy Z Flip 3
Although this is only the second model of the brand, and in order to straighten a line, the company skipped straight to the number 3. On the design side, this is not a significant change and the Galaxy Z Flip 3 offers the same longitudinal folding mechanism - as in the first generation - and when closed it looks like An oyster-shaped device.

When the device is fully open, a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen is obtained with support for a refresh rate of 120 Hz and FHD + resolution.
In closed mode in the top half, Samsung has added another screen, a Super AMOLED and 1.9-inch size, next to the photo array - it is used to view information and alerts, answer calls or take selfies.
Here, too, Samsung is proud of the possibility of working in a split view - which will allow you to open one application at the top of the screen, and another application at the bottom.
At the same time, you can still leave the device in the open position at any angle - so you can open it halfway and take a picture of yourself from a distance.

Like its big brother, the specifications of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 include Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 5G processor, but only with 8GB of RAM and 256,512GB of storage.
In addition, it combines a fingerprint reader on its side and a 3,300mAh battery, including 15-watt charging support and reverse charging.
In the photo segment, the Z Flip 3 comes with a front camera (selfie) with a resolution of 10 megapixels, while in the back you can find a dual rear camera with two lenses - wide and ultra-wide - in a quality of 12 megapixels.
Galaxy Watch 4 series
The new Galaxy Watch 4 series comes in two versions: the Galaxy Watch 4 - which comes in sizes 40 mm and 44 mm, and the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic - which comes in sizes 42 mm and 46 mm.
The company's new smartwatches are the first to be equipped with Samsung's One UI Watch interface based on Google's WearOS.
"While consumers have discovered the health and convenience benefits of wearable devices, the Galaxy Watch series has experienced incredible growth," said Dr. Ty-Moon Rowe, president and head of Samsung's cellular communications division. We have built a stronger health package than ever before that will help people understand in depth their health and general fitness habits. "

Galaxy Buds 2
As rumored predicted, Samsung has also unveiled the next generation of its old wireless headphones - Galaxy Buds - which joins the Galaxy Buds Live and Galaxy Buds Pro models.
The new headphones finally get a new, rounded design and improved sound, alongside support with active noise filtering via three microphones.
Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic will be available for purchase in select stores starting in September.

According to Samsung, the dynamic two-way speakers embedded in the headphones produce clear high-pitched sounds and deep basses, and active noise cancellation helps filter out unwanted noises.
If you need to hear ambient noise, you can simply adjust the noise level using three sound levels.
Also, the Galaxy Buds2 are Samsung's smallest and lightest headphones to date, and the company promises that the new design will help with a better grip on the ears.
The headphones come in charcoal black, white, olive green and light purple.
