Samsung has always been a trendsetter when it comes to smartphone aesthetics, and the Galaxy Z Fold5 continues this tradition by pushing the boundaries of design. One of the most striking aspects of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is its bold but slim design. With its glossy finish, the phone stands out while making a bold statement and also blending seamlessly with your personal style.

Samsung has managed to pack an impressive number of functionalities into a device that fits comfortably in your hand. When folded, the Galaxy Z Fold5 is compact and easy to carry, making it the perfect companion for those on the go. Yet, when unfolded, it transforms into a tablet-sized screen, providing an immersive experience for work or entertainment.

With its impeccable design, the Z Fold5 is a must-have for mobile tech enthusiasts whose busy schedules mean its portability will be one of its best qualities. Its folding mechanism allows it to easily slip into your pocket or purse, making it incredibly convenient for on-the-go individuals. With its compact form factor, you can carry it comfortably in the knowledge that you have an absolute marvel of a multitasking smartphone at hand. Whether you’re attending a business meeting or heading out for a night on the town, this phone effortlessly fits into and helps manage your lifestyle.

One of the standout features of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is its power to give you easy access to more. Maximise productivity on a larger screen with the most advanced multitasking experience on a Samsung Galaxy smartphone yet. Stream, shop or browse across three windows at once with Multi Window^[i] and use the enhanced Taskbar^[ii] to quickly view and switch between up to 12 apps including four most recent. While focusing on what you need to get done, use Hidden pop-up^[iii] to keep an app running in the background meaning you can update a work presentation in full screen and keep a text chat going with your colleagues in the background and quickly access via a floating pop-up.

For simple content sharing, you can use two-handed drag & drop^[iv] to easily move content between apps and screens, enabling you to touch and hold a picture from a website with one finger and use another finger to tap open another app such as a messenger and drag to share.

Of course, the Galaxy Z Fold5 doesn’t just excel in design and multitasking; it also delivers top-tier performance. Equipped with the latest hardware, including a powerful processor, ample RAM, and high-resolution displays, this smartphone is a beast when it comes to multitasking, gaming, and content consumption.

The camera system on the Galaxy Z Fold5, which includes the main 50MP wide-angle camera is impressive and adept at capturing stunning photos and videos in a variety of lighting conditions. Whether you’re a photography enthusiast or just love sharing moments with friends and family, the camera capabilities of the Fold5 will not disappoint.

Samsung also has an incredible trade-in offer for the Galaxy Z Fold5, which allows you to trade in your old eligible phone and get R15 000* back, guaranteed ^[v], or up to R600 off your monthly contract. The offer is available until 30 November 2023, trade-in terms and conditions apply.

Samsung recently connected with amazing South African women including Melinda Bam, Koketso Chipana and Sarah Langa at The Adidas’ I’m Possible Festival in Johannesburg. Over 1200 women between the ages of 18 and 35, were in attendance at the Adidas event, featuring admired fitness instructors and leading local artists – with the aim to Inspire “her” – with I’m Possible Stories of Women who are seeing new possibilities. Melinda Bam, Sarah Langa and Koketso Chipane were armed with their gravity-defying device Galaxy ZFlip3 5G devices, that effortlessly transform from uber-stylish smartphones to game-changing fitness-focused devices.

“For Adidas, the collaboration with Samsung was a seamless one. Samsung shares our believe in empowering people with the platforms and tools to overcome all limits to be the best version of themselves. The ‘’I’m Possible ‘event is aimed at women who defy the ordinary, a philosophy Samsung continually communicates with their equally inspiring ‘Do what you can’t’ vision, “Sphe Mjadu CMO Adidas

“The collaboration with Adidas was a seamless one. Samsung shares Adidas’s believe in empowering people with the platforms and tools to overcome all limits to be the best version of themselves. The ‘’I’m Possible ‘event is aimed at women who defy the ordinary, a philosophy Samsung continually communicates with our long-held ‘Do what you can’t’ vision, “said Dudu Mokholo, Chief Marketing Officer at Samsung Africa

Sarah, Koketso and Melinda used their Galaxy Z Flip3 5G to great effect as they rose to the challenge of attaining their personal health goals. With the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G’s versatile and immersive screens they were able to make full use of innovations such as Flex Mode which you can use hands free by standing it up on a surface, to record the workouts on the day. The slim, lightweight design of the device gave them the advantage of easily slipping it into their training gear, and even while being active on the day, they could effortlessly check their step count or calories burnt, as all the info is right there on the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G cover screen.

Ultimately, the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is a premium, versatile smartphone, that looks at home on the red carpet just as it does at the finish line. Watch Melinda, Sarah and Koketso in action at the event:

Inspiringly, all proceeds from the festival ticket sales will go to Blossom Care Solutions, to jointly tackle period poverty by providing increased access to sanitary pads in township schools and rural communities.

Double the screen space

Smartphone screens have gotten bigger over the last few years, but they’ve reached a limit. Foldables are the only form factor that gets more screen from a pocket-sized mobile device. Galaxy Z Fold3 5G starts as a sleek smartphone, ready for simple work tasks that only call for a glance and a few taps. It then unfolds to a 7.6-inch, 120Hz display in landscape mode, providing an expansive workspace so you can read, create, focus and get more work done. With the first ever under-display camera, you get an uninterrupted screen from edge to edge.

Work across multiple windows faster

The Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is made for multitasking. Its user interface is tailored for the screen, allowing you to work across up to three windows at once. Foldable-optimised apps simplify the user experience even further. Microsoft has given your favourite Office tools a thoughtful update so you can edit, review and share documents on mobile like never before. Additionally, located on the right side of the screen in tablet mode, the Edge Panel is a home base for quickly accessing your most-used apps without disrupting your work. This toolbar is easily customisable, and when you find yourself frequently using the same apps together in Multi-Active Windows, you can save a pairing to the Edge Panel and launch your customised multitasking suite with just one tap. All of the apps in your pairing will open instantly — either refreshed or where you last left off, based on your settings.

Another great feature is its unique Drag and Drop functionality, which gives this device that extra bit of efficiency that makes all the difference when you’re immersed in work. Move images and text to and from emails, documents and presentations with a single motion — and no wasted time. For instance, you can drag an image from an email into a PowerPoint presentation as you’re preparing for an important meeting, or drag a paragraph from Word into a text message, without needing to copy and paste.

The first S Pen on a foldable device

Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is the first Samsung foldable compatible with the S Pen, now with new models — the S Pen Fold Edition and S Pen Pro — designed specifically for the foldable screen. Users who know and love this advanced stylus for note taking, annotating, editing and many other productivity tricks can take advantage of the wider, edge-to-edge display by purchasing a new S Pen Fold Edition or S Pen Pro for their Galaxy Z Fold3 5G. With capabilities as varied as converting handwriting to text, translating between multiple languages and using Smart Select to grab images and extract text, the S Pen lets users make the most of their mobile work suite. The S Pen Pro adds Bluetooth connectivity so you can use it as a remote control, particularly helpful for presentations.

Hands-free videoconferencing

When you flex the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, it stands upright on its own. Join a videoconference and you can chat hands-free with Galaxy Z Fold3 on your desk. Flex Mode videoconferencing is a major plus for business owners on the go. Whether you’re at the airport, in a hotel lobby or at a cafe, you have a device that stays standing for face-to-face meetings from afar. Meanwhile, you can use the bottom portion of the screen to take notes or view up to two other apps at the same time, without interrupting your call. And wherever you are, if there is a monitor nearby you can enjoy the fact that this incredible device has the computing power of a PC, and can virtually transform into one using Samsung DeX, which extends your mobile device into a desktop experience. By connecting your Galaxy Z Fold3 5G to a larger monitor, you can work seamlessly in a PC-like environment while your phone remains free for other uses. You can run DeX wirelessly on any Miracast-enabled display, including Samsung’s new Smart Monitor. If you don’t have a Miracast display, you can connect the device to your monitor via an HDMI to USB-C cable. Use Galaxy Z Fold3 5G as a trackpad, or free up the device for calls, texts and multitasking by connecting a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Galaxy Z Fold3 5G with DeX is the ideal solution for hot-desking and the hybrid workplace.

Next-level camera

The Galaxy Z Fold3 5G delivers an impressive camera system with some innovative new features. Making full use of the 7.6-inch interior display, Capture View allows you to view your latest photos on the left panel as you frame your next shot on the right. You can also activate the cover screen preview to let your subjects see themselves in real time as you snap away. It is also equipped with a front-facing camera on the cover screen, as well as the nearly invisible under-display camera when you’re in tablet mode. On the back of the device, you get a three-lens camera system including an ultra-wide angle lens so you can capture incredible shots of any subject.

From phone to tablet to PC, Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is a three-in-one powerhouse that will change the way you work. Upgrade to this one-of-a-kind device to multiply your productivity and be an early adopter of the foldable form factor that’s making mobile work and play more flexible than ever.

“As Samsung, we’re pleased to once again be redefining the possibilities with foldable smartphones. I have myself switched to the Galaxy Z Fold 5G and am excited at just how much my new favourite device empower users with the flexibility and versatility needed for today’s fast-paced world,” said Justin Hume, Director: Integrated Mobility at Samsung South Africa. This device unlocks new ways to maximise and enjoy every moment with a work-friendly ecosystem built on openness and innovation. The future is foldable.”

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 11 August 2021 – Samsung has opened the next chapter in foldable innovation with two new smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold3 | Galaxy Z Flip3 5G. Both devices are premium foldable smartphones built with the craftsmanship and flagship innovations Samsung users have come to love and expect. The third generation of these category-defining devices incorporates key improvements that Samsung foldable users have asked for—making them more durable with more optimised foldable experiences than ever before. From iconic design to immersive entertainment, Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 offer users unique new ways to work, watch, play, capture and socialize

For those who need the ultimate device for productivity and immersive entertainment, Galaxy Z Fold3 is a true multitasking powerhouse with next level performance, an undisrupted 7.6-inch^[1] Infinity Flex Display, and the first ever S Pen^[2] support on a foldable device. For those who want style that comes with function, Galaxy Z Flip3 is the ideal device with its sleek, compact, and pocketable design, enhanced camera features, and a larger Cover Screen^[3] built for quick use on the go.

“With Galaxy Z Fold3 |Z Flip3 5G, Samsung is once again redefining the possibilities with foldable smartphones that empower users with the flexibility and versatility needed for today’s fast-paced world,” said Justin Hume, Director: Integrated Mobility at Samsung South Africa. “As a pioneer and industry leader in the foldable category, we’re proud to build on our legacy of innovation with the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3. These devices equip consumers with technologies that unlock new ways to maximise and enjoy every moment with an ecosystem built on openness and innovation.”

Advanced Craftsmanship Built to Last

Samsung users expect foldable devices that are built to last. That’s why this generation of Galaxy Z devices are built with unrivalled craftsmanship. For the first time ever on a foldable smartphone, Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 are equipped with IPX8^[1] water resistance, so users no longer have to worry when caught in the rain. Both devices are also built with our new Armor Aluminium—the strongest aluminium ever used on a Galaxy smartphone—along with the toughest Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus to protect against scratches and accidental drops. In addition, both devices include a new protective film made of stretchable PET^[2] and optimised display panel layers resulting in a Main Screen that’s 80% more durable than previous devices^[3].

Samsung continues its legacy of foldable leadership with rigorous processes to create devices that remain reliable after years of use. The revolutionary Hideaway Hinge, first introduced on Galaxy Z Flip, enables the devices to stay in place at any angle for innovative user experiences with Flex mode^[4]. And thanks to enhanced Sweeper technology, the bristles inside the Hinge are now shorter, helping to repel dust and other particles and maintain the devices’ durability and seamless user experiences. Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 were also put through a strenuous folding test, verified by Bureau Veritas, to withstand folding 200,000 times^[5] . Plus, they’re equipped with the latest powerful 5nm AP and 5G^[6] band compatibility for the best experience inside and out.

Galaxy Z Fold3 5G: Ultimate Productivity and Entertainment

Unfold the Galaxy Z Fold3 to immerse yourself in theatre-like viewing experiences and stay fully engaged in your favourite content on the uninterrupted 7.6-inch Infinity Flex Display—thanks to our new Under display camera technology. With minimum pixels applied on top of the camera hole, Galaxy Z Fold3 features an increased viewable area so users get an unbroken canvas for their favourite apps. With the new Eco² display technology applied to the screen, it’s 29%^[1] brighter while consuming less energy^[2]. Experience even smoother scrolling and quick device interaction with the Super Smooth 120Hz adaptive refresh rate now on both the Main and Cover Screens.

For the first time ever on the Galaxy Z series, Samsung is bringing its beloved Note series technology to Galaxy Z Fold3, the S Pen functionality. Users can take advantage of fully optimised S Pen features on their foldable screen, which is a perfect fit for on-the-go multitaskers. On Galaxy Z Fold3’s massive Main Screen, it’s easier than ever for users to jot down notes during a video call or check off a to-do list while reading emails, and Galaxy Z Fold3 users can also power their creativity and productivity with our fan-favourite S Pen. S Pen for Galaxy Z Fold3 comes in two options: S Pen Fold Edition and S Pen Pro^[1]. Both feature a specially engineered retractable Pro tip with force limit technology to protect Galaxy Z Fold3’s Main Screen for peace of mind while using the S Pen. This is Samsung’s best S Pen experience yet, with even lower latency, 2.8 ms, for true-to-life composition—ensuring that notetaking and sending messages is seamless and intuitive.

Productivity seekers will also enjoy Galaxy Z Fold3’s enhanced Flex mode features, which let you do more at once, such as joining a video call on the device’s top screen while checking meeting notes on the bottom. With Galaxy Z Fold3’s updated Multi-Active Window^[1], it’s even easier to make dinner plans over text while checking your calendar, all on the device’s large screen. And now on Galaxy Z Fold3, users can create a shortcut and reopen apps in the same way later thanks to enhanced App Pair. Plus, they can use Galaxy Z Fold3’s new Taskbar^[2] to quickly switch between apps without returning to the Home screen.

Galaxy Z Fold3 is built with a sleeker, thinner, and lighter design for even better portability than Galaxy Z Fold2. It comes with a choice of three timeless colours: Phantom Black, Phantom Green, and Phantom Silver.

Galaxy Z Flip3 5G: The Ideal Balance of Style, Function, and Nonstop Fun

Galaxy Z Flip3 empowers users to express themselves with bold colour options, a sleek design, and premium features. With the choice of four trendy colours—Cream, Green, Lavender, and Phantom Black—plus new stylish ring grips and strap cases^[1] that make it even easier to hold and fold the phone, Galaxy Z Flip3 is a device for true self-expression.

The redesigned Cover Screen is now four times larger^[1] and makes it easier to view notifications and messages without having to open Galaxy Z Flip3. Users can keep up with their schedule, check the weather, and monitor their daily step count with new Cover Screen widgets or coordinate the Cover Screen wallpaper with their new Galaxy Watch4 or Galaxy Watch4 Classic for a matching look. And with Samsung Pay built directly into the Cover Screen, it’s never been easier to check out on-the-go at the local coffee shop.

Galaxy Z Flip3 is also crafted to give users the best capability for capturing and sharing memories. Packed with some of our latest flagship camera features, users can take even more stunning selfies hands-free with Flex mode. Or they can keep the device folded and capture a quick photo—and now, even video—right from the Cover Screen using enhanced Quick Shot by double-clicking Galaxy Z Flip3’s power key. Plus, scrolling and sharing are super smooth, thanks to Galaxy Z Flip3’s new 120Hz adaptive refresh rate^[1].

Galaxy Z Flip3 is great for relaxing and watching a YouTube vlog or a TV show hands-free. Thanks to Galaxy Z Flip3’s new, upgraded Stereo Speakers with Dolby Atmos®, you get immersive sound with incredible clarity, depth and spatial effects, no matter what you’re watching or listening to. And the new Flex Mode Panel feature makes apps look better and easier to use. When the device is partially folded, Flex Mode Panel gives you new ways to interact with Galaxy Z Flip3, offering a more convenient viewing experience by moving the video to the top half of the screen and the show’s controls—like brightness and volume—to the bottom half.

Optimised Foldable Experiences Open Up New Possibilities

With the Galaxy Z series, users will get access to more apps that take full advantage of the foldable screen. Samsung is expanding partnerships with leading companies like Google, Microsoft, and more, so users can enjoy more of their go-to apps tailored to their unique needs. Collaborate effectively with Microsoft Teams app: Enjoy optimised meeting experience adapting based on the Flex mode of your Galaxy Z series and the power of Office and Teams coming together. For the best productivity at work, Microsoft Outlook’s dual-pane mode for Samsung foldables enables users to read a full email while previewing others on the side, just like a desktop experience. To bring users even more choices, Samsung’s new Labs^[1] feature offers users the ability to optimise even more apps to the foldable screen when they need it.

Furthermore, Samsung continues to rethink how app developers can create amazing user experiences from anywhere. To provide them with more options while ensuring high-quality optimisation, Samsung supports Remote Test Lab(RTL)^[2], giving app developers the ability to directly install and test their applications in real-time, from wherever they are.

Galaxy Buds2: Buds for everyone with premium sound and comfortable fit

Joining the Galaxy Z Series are Galaxy Buds2 – designed for a comfortable fit made to be worn all day, and provide premium sound quality so you can immerse yourself in the moment, wherever you are. As one of the latest additions to the Galaxy Buds line-up, Galaxy Buds2 join the Galaxy Buds Live and Galaxy Buds Pro, providing more choices to consumers to fit their needs. As a part of the Galaxy ecosystem, Galaxy Buds2 make the perfect companion to your Galaxy smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch.

Whether you use your Galaxy Buds2 to listen to music or dial into a conference call, you’ve got all the features you need to immerse in yourself in your own world. The dynamic two-way speakers deliver crisp, clear high notes and a deep bass, while Active Noise Cancellation helps block out unwanted noise. If you need to hear your surroundings, simply tune back in with three adjustable ambient sound levels^[1]. And now your voice will be clearer on calls, thanks to a new, machine learning-based solution that filters out a variety of distracting background noises.

Galaxy Buds2 are Samsung’s smallest and lightest earbuds yet boasting an iconic curved shape.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 05 August 2021 –At last August’s Unpacked event, I shared my strategy to bring more empowering mobile technology to as many people as possible, especially at a time when they needed it most. Now, around one year later, our world is slowly but surely preparing to reopen in many ways. We’re all yearning for freedom and the possibilities that this new world has to offer thanks to advancements in technology that are set to make our world bigger than it ever was.

This past year, new technologies continued to reshape the way we live. Our collaboration with trusted industry partners allowed us to drive seamless experiences that offer more personalization and versatility than ever. As we enter this new era of agile transformation, I believe that open ecosystems are the only way to accelerate innovation and give people more freedom to create their own experiences that are best for their lifestyles.

Samsung Electronics is poised and ready to unveil visionary, purposeful mobile technology for a better world. In a few weeks, we will unleash our latest and greatest Galaxy Z series to reshape the smartphone category and completely reimagine your experiences.

Life Opens Up with Galaxy 

Today, the world needs flexible technologies that give people room to explore. At Samsung, people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re constantly listening to you to ensure that any new device and experience we create really brings meaningful innovations. We want to enrich everyone’s life, not just the lives of a select few. From epic cameras and vivid, immersive viewing experiences to long-lasting batteries and strong security, we’re focusing on what really matters to you.

As we explore new ways to empower you, we often venture into uncharted territory. That’s how we ended up creating a brand-new category with the launch of the Galaxy Fold. And we didn’t stop there. We kept improving the category with our second generation of foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold2 and the Galaxy Z Flip, with more screen and more of the features you now know and love. I’m excited to say our third generation of foldable devices will open up amazing new multitasking capabilities and enhanced durability for even more people around the world.  

Samsung is Bringing More People into the Fold

This will be especially important as the world leap frogs into new frontiers of connectivity that demand open ecosystems and reliable mobile experiences. At Samsung, “open” and “secure” are never mutually exclusive. In fact, our collaborations with trusted industry leaders like Google and Microsoft are why we are able to deliver mobile technology that is secure and optimized for today’s rapidly evolving and interconnected world. We constantly work with key partners to create cutting-edge security solutions that keep your devices and data safe every step of the way. This allows us to give you even more control over your apps, data and privacy, so you can curate your own experience — with total peace of mind.

Collaboration enables us to build mobile experiences that make your life easier and better. It fueled the development of a new unified wearable platform, which we built jointly with Google. On top of your favorite Galaxy apps like Samsung Health and SmartThings, there will be so many others in the new Google Play Store. Furthermore, our One UI Watch user interface is deeply integrated with our other Galaxy devices and provides consistent connectivity between your Galaxy Watch and Galaxy smartphone.

We are also working with Google to enrich our foldable ecosystems with popular apps and services. For our third generation of Galaxy Z phones, we have lined up even more partner apps that make the most of the versatile fold-out format. From hands-free optimized video calling with Google Duo and watching videos in Flex mode on YouTube to multitasking in Microsoft Teams, our foldable ecosystem will offer a wealth of seamless and optimized experiences.  

A New Chapter in Smartphone Innovation Is Here

The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold combines the very best that smartphones and tablets offer and delivers completely new ways of working, connecting and creating, while the upcoming Z Flip exhibits an even more refined style, armed with more durable, stronger materials. I firmly believe these devices will answer the call for the versatile mobile technology we need as we navigate the open road ahead.

We are out to set new heights and open up a whole new world of exciting experiences for even more people. I hope you’ll join us as we debut our next Galaxy Z family and share some foldable surprises — including the first-ever S Pen designed specifically for foldable phones. Instead of unveiling a new Galaxy Note this time around, we will further broaden beloved Note features to more Samsung Galaxy devices. In the meantime, mark your calendars and tune in to our Unpacked event on August 11 to see what unfolds.
