Although it looks very similar to the Z Fold 2, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 brings some notable improvements over its predecessor. This smartphone gains performance thanks to its Snapdragon 888 chip, benefits from a reassuring IPx8 certification and is entitled to two very good screens. The folding screen that hides inside the device is embellished with an under-screen camera, which is certainly more of a technological demonstration than a useful option, but also a welcome addition to the S Pen. We can certainly regret that this stylus will be bought as an extra must that the autonomy of the whole falls behind compared to the Z Fold 2 and that its photographic component remains among the leaders of the moment. But as it stands, the Z Fold 3 is arguably Samsung’s most successful folding model despite its lower price point compared to the Z Fold 2’s everyday usability of a mini tablet.

Points cont

  • Two very successful exhibitions.
  • Samsung dares to put the camera under the screen.
  • Full of power.
  • S Pen compatibility is finally here…
  • … also poetry!

weak points

  • A still heavy model whose format may not please you.
  • The S Pen must be purchased separately.
  • Aggressive photo editing.
  • Less autonomy compared to the Z Fold 2

Without necessarily changing everything that is the soul of the iPhone 12 Pro Max, Apple offers an even more complete 13 Pro Max model than last year. The introduction of adaptive 120Hz and brand new photo modules reinforces the versatility expected from a smartphone. Especially since with this 2021 vintage the autonomy is monstrous, so you don’t have to worry too much about having to charge it for easily more than a day.
