6 things you can do with a folding phone you can’t do with a normal phone

This post is brought to you by Samsung Malaysia

Look at the phone in your hand right now. You probably think that it’s quite useful. After all, you can do a lot with your phone. You can watch videos, play games, send messages, take photos, and maybe even get some work done on it.

But, I bet your phone can’t unfold into a completely different form factor, right? And it’s not just a party trick. I’m going to show you six things you can do with this phone, that you can’t with yours.

Flex Mode

The Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip are all about Flex Mode. That’s a feature designed to make full use of the folding screens. Flex Mode is useful for watching videos. With Flex Mode you won’t have to choose between watching a full screen video and browsing the comments. Easily keep the video running in the top half of the phone and scroll comments at the same time.

You can also preview and review selfies or photos instantly with Flex Mode. Just fold it or turn on Capture View Mode in the camera to shift the layout.
Naturally, with a folding device, you can also take pictures without the use of a tripod too. Just fold the device and leave it somewhere convenient. Set a timer or use a hand gesture to snap the shot.

Obviously the Galaxy Z Fold3 comes with a phenomenal set of cameras and features designed to work with this form factor.

Lights, Camera, Action!

The Galaxy Z Fold3 features a triple 12MP camera setup, while the Galaxy Z Flip3 sports a dual 12MP camera setup so you can have the right camera for every moment. You can also make use of the device’s unique form factor to grab some amazing shots. Is the selfie camera not wide enough for you? Use the rear camera to take your selfies instead. Turn on the cover screen and you’ll have a nifty viewfinder for all your framing needs.

Asking a friend to take your photo? You don’t have to trust them to get the framing right, you can check it yourself too with Dual Preview. This turns on both screens so everyone can see the photo that’s about to be taken.

This is how you do multitasking

The Galaxy Z Fold3 allows for a seamless multi-window experience. Maximise the larger display by running up to three windows simultaneously!
Not enough? Add more pop up windows easily through the Edge Panel. You can find and switch between your most used apps super easily here too. And don’t worry about running out of memory. The Z Fold3 comes with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of internal storage. Only the best for you.

Bro, have you tried watching movies on this thing?

With a gorgeous 7.6” QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, your smartphone viewing experience will never be the same. Plus, did I mention that the Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 also come with powerful dual-stereo Dolby Atmos speakers that sound absolutely amazing? Well, it does. And the best part? If you don’t want to, you won’t even need to hold your smartphone with your hand. Flex mode makes no-handed video viewing easily accomplishable.

Need to quickly grab your phone and go? Just fold it up and continue watching on the cover screen. It works like a snap.

Bro, have you tried gaming on this thing?

Instead of settling for gaming on a tiny smartphone screen, with the Galaxy Z Fold3, you can unfold it for a whole new level of mobile gaming without interrupting your game. The display is also a fast 120Hz screen so it makes everything nice and smooth. And if power was a concern, fret not because the Z Fold3 only comes with the best of the best thanks to a Snapdragon 888 processor.

Folding phones are fragile? Bro, don’t worry

The Galaxy Z Fold3 & Z Flip3 are the most rugged folding phones Samsung has made. For starters, the frame is made from their brand new Armour Aluminium, while the front and back are protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus. The hinge? Well it’s got a new and improved folding mechanism that’s designed to withstand up to 200,000 folding and unfolding actions.

So, if you fold and unfold this phone 100 times a day, it will still last five long years! Oh, and did I mention that this phone is also the first and foldable smartphone with an IPX8 rating? Yes, that means you can rest easy when it comes to splashes and taps. In fact, you can even completely dunk it in an aquarium, and it’ll still survive.

So, your phone can fold or not?

If not, you might want to consider switching because foldable phones are the future of smartphones. And Samsung? Samsung’s very clearly a leader in this tech. It’s evident from their products, the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 are powerful, practical smartphones that also have cutting edge folding display technology. And if price was a concern, the Galaxy Z Flip isn’t priced more than you’d pay for a regular flagship smartphone.
