Before the dawn of the smartphone era, manufacturers tried out a variety of different phone styles and designs to see what would stick. From candy bar phones with their clicking dial pads, to more advanced flip phones and sliders, to phones with full QWERTY keyboards.<\/p>\n

But in those days, it was the flip phone that really stole consumer hearts: compact enough to fit in your pocket, but expandable, to give you more features.<\/p>\n

Keeping that spirit of innovation alive, Samsung has been working hard to develop the next generation of mobile device \u2013 one that combines the power of today\u2019s smartphone with the portability and style of the flip.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the past few years, manufacturers have been trying to merge the functionality of smartphones with the portability of a \u201900s-era flip phone\u2014with results that were middling at best. But with the Galaxy Z FIip3, Samsung finally seems to have nailed it. The Z Flip is as compact as devices from two decades ago, only instead of a tiny display and physical dial pad, you get a vibrant 6.7-in. display, with another screen on the front cover so you can easily read messages or screen calls when it\u2019s closed. Even better: the $999 price tag, making it the first mainstream phone with a foldable display that\u2019s priced below $1,000.\u201d<\/p>\n
