Samsung’s flagship folding smartphone, the Galaxy Z Fold3, becomes the third iteration of the company’s quest for futuristic, transforming phones. Following 2019’s Galaxy Fold and 2020’s Fold2, the Fold3 debuted alongside its sibling, the Galaxy Z Flip3, during August 2021’s Galaxy Unpacked event and was released for sale the same month.

Available in either Phantom Silver, Green, or Black, the Galaxy Z Fold3 starts at $1799.
