The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 will launch at a recommended retail price of R22,999 in South Africa.
The phone folds in half, horizontally, across its 6.7-inch 2640-by-1080-pixel screen which also features a 120hz adaptive refresh rate, which will make it better for gaming. In order to ensure that users can check their notifications without having to open the phone, there is a small display on the outer side – although one that Samsung has made larger.
Compared to the original Galaxy Z Flip, which had a 1-inch display, this one has a 1.9-inch display and can show the date, time, notifications, and a preview of selfies taken with the main camera.
Potential buyers can start indicating their interest through the Samsung South Africa online store from 12 August 2021.
Pre-orders will then run from 1 September until 16 September, after which the smartphone will officially launch in the country on 17 September.
