In 2021, when I took out the just-released Galaxy Z Fold3 in front of my friends and slowly unfolded its 7.6-inch foldable inner screen, I also received a chorus of "wow".

Ten years have passed, and the "large-screen mobile phone era" started by the original Galaxy Note has reached its peak. The new category of "folding screen mobile phones" started by Galaxy Fold has become a new focus in the industry.

But as our earlier article pointed out, although the foldable screen mobile phone category has entered its third year, "beautiful but fragile" is still the most obvious label on it, which once left us with the idea of ??using it but

I dare not let go of the stereotypes used.

Recently, Samsung officially released the third-generation folding screen flagship Galaxy Z Fold3. It is proposed to be waterproof and more durable. Can it revolutionize our impression of folding screen phones?

After three generations, the appearance design language of Samsung Z Fold3 has become very recognizable. You can recognize at a glance that this is a folding screen phone from Samsung.

Samsung Z Fold3 comes in three colors, including Meteor Black, Valley Green, and Seokawa Silver.

The one we have is in Seokawa Silver color, and the main color of the frame and back are metallic silver like stainless steel.

But Samsung’s silver has never been a monotonous silver. This time, the ZFold3’s Phantom Silver is the same. In addition to the main visual silver, under different visual and light angle mapping, it will appear purple and blue.

color.

The glass part adopts AG frosting process, which is visually textured. It also eliminates the problem of fingerprint collectors and has a delicate and comfortable touch.

Samsung Z Fold3 integrates a capacitive fingerprint recognition module on the right frame, which is a two-in-one design with the power button.

It follows the symmetrical folding screen design, with a relatively conventional hard screen on the outside and a large folding screen on the inside.

Similar to the previous generation, the external screen uses a 6.2-inch Infinity-O AMOLED hole-punch screen, which maintains extremely narrow borders and provides a good screen-to-body ratio and excellent display effects.

The difference is that this time, both the external and internal screens of Samsung Z Fold3 are aligned with the Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen material, and both have a "full blood" 120Hz screen adaptive refresh rate.

This enables the inner and outer screens to have the same top-notch and smooth screen sensory experience.

However, due to the consideration of the body structure, the screen ratio of the external screen is slightly slender. Even if it almost fills the entire external glass, it still intelligently presents a "fish screen" style, and the two sides will look better than ordinary mobile phone screens.

It should be narrower.

The benefit it brings is that it is very convenient to operate with one hand. When holding it with one hand, you can easily touch both sides of the screen. The control range that your thumb can cover is extremely wide. For me,

, even if you want to pull down the notification bar and control center from the top of the screen, you only need to move your palm slightly to let your thumb touch the top of the screen.

Since the previous generation innovated the external screen design, the practicality of the external screen has been greatly improved, especially after most software has adapted to the adaptive resolution feature of the Android system. The external screen can be used to browse short videos, Weibo, and WeChat with one hand.

All very convenient.

The screen ratio is as slender as a remote control, which is very advantageous when browsing short content and typing to reply to WeChat. It is an efficient output tool especially for users of the Jiugongge Pinyin input method.

And when the screen is closed, the narrower width of the phone makes it easier to put it in a pocket or bag and carry it with you.

If the external screen cannot meet your functional needs, don’t forget that Samsung Z Fold3 has more than one external screen. After unfolding the fuselage, it opens up another horizon.

As for the glass on the outer screen and back cover, Corning Gorilla Victus Glass is naturally used. This is known as "the strongest Corning Gorilla Glass to date." Compared with conventional aluminosilicate glass, it is more resistant to

The scraping ability is also improved by 4 times.

Of course, what users are more concerned about should be the durability of folding screen models.

Similar to its predecessor, Samsung once again used UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) ultra-thin flexible glass as the inner screen surface of Z Fold3. The impact resistance and wear resistance of the material screen are guaranteed.

Although the creases on the inner screen still exist, they will not affect the daily experience.

Thanks to the inherent advantages of the glass material, the flatness and touch feel of the rest of the screen are not much different from ordinary mobile phone screens. The UTG surface also has a thick oleophobic coating, and the sliding feel is quite good.
