Samsung's third Unpacked of 2021 is over, and like all events since the coronavirus spread around the world, Samsung's latest launch was all-virtual. Foldables are the big phones of the day: Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 3, which expands outward from a phone into a tablet, and the Galaxy Z Flip 3, a clamshell design. New Galaxy Buds 2, Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic models are also on tap to complement the new phones. And do you miss Bixby? It's back!
Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Z Fold 3
The redesigned Z Flip 3 starts at $1,000, putting it in line with the Galaxy S21 Plus and the iPhone 12 Pro. The Z Fold 3, tweaked to include an under-display front camera, slightly lighter weight and 100 mAh less battery, will come in starting at $1,800; in contrast, when it was unveiled a year ago for $2,000, it was the company's most expensive phone.
If you preorder, you'll get a year of extended support free.
