The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 has an integrated LTE cellular chip that is capable of downloading at a faster speed than the older 3G technology in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2. Both the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Z Fold 3 have market-leading cameras which have BSI sensors, Dual-tone LED flash, Built-in optical image stabilization, Phase-detection autofocus, CMOS sensors and for the real photographer you can manually adjust the exposure!

One of the biggest features I noticed about both the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is that neither have sapphire glass display’s and only the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 has a branded ‘damage resistant’ glass so I would be adding an extra layer of protection with a screen protector!
