To recap
Although not a giant leap forward compared to its predecessor, the Z Flip 3 is a much more fluidly designed device. It’s now deep into its life cycle, but this is still the foldable phone to beat. With a price tag that tackles ’normal’ flagships head-on, too, it’ll certainly turn some heads - even if there are a few compromises that are part and parcel of a foldable.
