Samsung Z Fold 3 Overview:

Design and Display

Similarly, a 7.6-inches QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2 X main display has FHD+ 2208 × 1768 pixels resolution. Furthermore, the main screen is also HDR10+ certified. Fortunately, on both sides, the Fold 3’s screen has a 120Hz refresh rate. 

Maintaining the Adaptive refresh rate, the cover display as well as the main display, can dynamically adjust the refresh rate on the basis of the content on the screen. For protection, the exterior screen and the rear cover are covered with a Gorilla Glass Victus.  The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 comes with three color options – Phantom Black, Phantom Green, and Phantom Silver.

Talking about the design, the rear panel comes with a new look having the pill-shaped camera arrangement. The hinge is made up of Armor Aluminum that is 10% more long-lasting to protect the interior parts of the hinge.

In addition, this time, the Fold gets an official IPX8 certification for water resistance which is the first time ever on a foldable device. All of this adds up to make Fold 3 80% more long-lasting than Fold 2.
