Design

The Z Flip 3 uses the same clamshell design as the first Z Flip with an aluminum frame, it has 6.7-in display protected by ultra-thin glass made by Samsung that can be folded into a space of 4.2-in. Once it is folded, the Samsung logo shows up by the center of the hinge. This logo design and placement is identical to its previous model Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.^[3] It also adopts 1.9 inch cover screen, which is a most notable change from 1.1 inches in the previous model. This change in cover screen enables users to download widgets such as music, weather, alarm, timer, voice recorder, today's schedule, Samsung Health, and bluetooth.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is available in four colors: Cream, Phantom Black, Green, and Lavender.

There are also colors exclusive to the Bespoke Edition: Grey, White, Pink, Blue, and Yellow.^[4] This edition is a collaboration with Samsung's Bespoke refrigerator that enables customers to freely customize the colors of the fridge doors.^[5] Following the same concept, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 Bespoke Edition also provides color customizing services. Customers get to mix and match the five colors for top and bottom part of the phone. Unlike the official edition, which the color of hinge changes based on the color of the phone, the color of hinge from the Bespoke edition is limited to silver and black.^[6]
