The “Galaxy Z Fold3 5G” is a smartphone with a slim width of about 67 mm and a tablet size of about 7.6 inches when opened. When using the tablet size, you can split the screen into 3 and use 3 apps at the same time. It is possible to chat with friends in real time while enjoying videos, or write e-mails while viewing materials. [Image] Look at the details of the Galaxy foldable phone, which is compact and easy to carry but has a large screen and is easy to use (6 photos) Equipped with an "app pair" function that allows you to simultaneously launch from the edge panel if you register a combination of frequently used apps . You can launch up to 3 apps at the same time with one tap. For example, if you register browser/email/calendar apps for work, you can start all three apps simultaneously when you switch to work mode. In addition, there are many functions that are useful for creating materials, such as the ability to easily transfer data between the three apps that are running by simply dragging with your finger. In addition, it is also compatible with the original stylus pen "S Pen", which is popular for its smooth writing comfort. By using this, you can draw detailed illustrations that are difficult to draw with your fingers. While making a video call, you can use it to sketch ideas with another app. The out-camera is a three-lens type with approximately 12 million pixels for wide-angle, ultra-wide-angle, and telephoto. The ultra-wide angle has a viewing angle of 123 degrees, and the telephoto has a maximum zoom of 10x, which is 2x optical x 5x digital. The in-camera that can be used when the screen is expanded is embedded under the display, and it is also attractive that it does not interfere with the image display on the large screen. Yuichi Matsumoto, a spokesperson for Samsung, talks about the merits of smartphones that can be used in tablet size as follows. “It is said that once you use it, you will not be able to go back to a normal smartphone because of the large screen of the Fold 3. With the 5G era coming in earnest and the quality of content such as movies and games improving, In that respect, the Fold 3 has the internal camera lens buried under the display, which eliminates the black spots on the large screen. You can enjoy an immersive experience just like watching your TV at home.In addition, the multi-window allows you to launch three apps at the same time, taking advantage of the size of the screen, so you can, for example, search for information or take notes while having a video conference. You can even take it with you." ● It's compact enough to easily fit in your breast pocket, whereas the "Galaxy Z Flip3 5G" is a smartphone weighing about 184g that can be folded like a compact case for cosmetics. Even so, when opened, a “large screen” appears for a smartphone, about 6.7 inches. Of course, even when the cover is closed, you can check the date, time, and messages on the cover display (sub-display), play music, and take pictures. The display can not only be opened or closed, but can also be fixed at the desired opening and closing angle. Therefore, if you open it at an angle close to 90 degrees and place it on a desk, you can make hands-free video calls, and you can also shoot at night without a tripod. The camera has approximately 12 million effective pixels on the out side and approximately 10 million pixels on the in side, both of which provide high image quality. In addition, the out camera can be selected from two lenses, wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle. If you display the main display and cover display at the same time, you can easily take selfies with the main camera. "With both the out-camera and the in-camera, you can enable the automatic framing function that always follows the moving subject, so it's perfect for shooting Vlogs." Both "Galaxy Z Fold3 5G" and "Galaxy Z Flip3 5G" are the first foldable smartphones to have IPX8 waterproof performance, and also support Felica, which can be used for cashless payments. In addition, the display uses a fine and colorful AMOLED (organic EL). It automatically optimizes the refresh rate for each content such as videos and games, enabling smooth screen display while reducing power consumption. Until now, foldable smartphones have connected two displays via a hinge between them. In that respect, “Galaxy Z Fold3 5G” and “Galaxy Z Flip3 5G” are smartphones that literally fold one large screen. These two machines may become the standard for smartphones in the future. ●Product specifications ☆Galaxy Z Fold3 5G ・Body size: Approx. W128.1 x D158.2 x H6.4mm (when unfolded), Approx.
