[Guide de l’utilisateur] Complete guide to use Galaxy Z Fold3 5G

With its immersive display, the S Pen[1] Convenient optional features to improve durability and productivity Who doesn’t want to try the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G?

For those who don’t know how to get the most out of foldable devices, Samsung Newsroom took a look at the device to find the best way to use it. Check out the user guide below to learn more about using the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, including the device’s ergonomic grip, innovative features, and the compatible S Pen.[2].

Question 1: Will users with small hands be able to use Galaxy Z Fold3 5G easily?

Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is lighter, thinner and narrower than its predecessor[3]Which gives you a more comfortable grip and is easy to carry. The horizontal width of the phone when folded is 67.1 mm, which is 0.9 mm smaller than its predecessor[4]. This means that the phone offers a comfortable and stable hold, even for those with small hands.

There is also a fingerprint reader for the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, where the thumb touches the device, allowing more convenient use of the device’s large screen cover. Thus, users no longer need to place their fingers on the screen to unlock the phone. The top, bottom and sides of the phone are also designed with bold, clean lines to allow for smoother use.

Question 2: How durable is the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G every day?

With greatly improved water resistance, users can confidently wear the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G when caught in the rain. The phone has an IPX8 water resistance rating[5]This means that it can withstand immersion in fresh water to a depth of 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. So, you can access the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G’s map app to find your way among water splashes or browse through recipes with wet hands.

In addition, the durability of the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G provides even more peace of mind. New protective films on home phone screens, for example, increase screen durability by 80%[6] compared to its predecessor. The device also contains Armor Aluminum and Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus™, two of the strongest materials ever used in a Galaxy smartphone to date.

With this new flexibility, you no longer have to worry about scratching your phone when you put it in a small bag with other things. Likewise, you can keep your phone in your pocket along with other things at hand whenever you want to make calls or take pictures.

Question 3: Is a large splash screen really useful for displaying content?

7.6 inch large main screen[7] The Galaxy Z Fold3 5G clearly stands out when it comes to watching videos, as the phone uses UDC (Under Screen Camera) technology to deliver an immersive and flavor-free viewing experience. UDC is achieved by including light-absorbing pixels in the camera area to increase light transmission and manage the distance between pixels. Also thanks to the phone’s screen its brightness is about 29% of its predecessor.[8], the user can see it clearly outdoors, in direct sunlight, without the need to shade or cover the screen.

In addition, the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G has a 120Hz refresh rate for its home and cover screens, allowing for a seamless experience when scrolling and sharing content. When using the device in places where using the external screen of the phone is more convenient, such as public transportation, the user can comfortably browse news articles and other media and enjoy smooth and seamless transitions.

Question 4: What is the best way to use the many productivity-boosting features of the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G?

Thanks to the split screen function “Multi-Active Window”[9]Galaxy foldable devices have a long history of increasing user productivity. This feature allows users to go back to their calendar, talk to their friends on the messenger while reading their emails and navigate to a meeting point, among other things.[10].

Now the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G has a ‘Task Bar’ feature.[11] To help users quickly and easily navigate between applications. This not only allows users to launch the app they use most often without going to the home screen, but also allows them to simultaneously open their most frequently used set of apps.[12].

Another new feature is the “Flex Mode Panel”, which users can use after the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is partially folded. Go to the Labs menu (Settings → Advanced functions) and select the “Flexible Mode Panel” option to enable this mode. From there, when users launch an app that supports the Flex Mode Panel feature, a panel will automatically appear where they can capture the screen and adjust brightness and volume. This feature eliminates the need to completely unlock the phone to adjust these settings and is especially useful when the volume suddenly increases, when users want to take screenshots, or when the screen brightness suddenly drops.

Question 5: What are the unique functions of the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G camera?

Now is the time to use the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G’s camera to take great photos. The “Capture View” function of the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G allows users to view, delete and share the photos they just took without going to the gallery.

After opening the camera, tap the Capture View icon in the upper left corner of the screen. If users take photos while the code is running, they can check the photos they just took on the left half of the screen. Touching and holding a photo allows users to delete or share photos, which is useful to get rid of unwanted photos and share our favorite photos with our friends. This function is very useful when it comes to taking a perfect picture of fast-moving objects such as children, pets or people playing sports.

Question 6: What are the advantages of combining the S Pen with a larger screen?

The Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is the first foldable phone to support the S Pen.[13] Users can use it to draw or annotate manually, which increases their productivity.

To take notes while watching online lectures or videos in flexible mode[14]Simply launch Samsung Notes by double tapping the lower half of the screen while holding the button on the side of the S Pen.

Characters that are difficult to type on the keyboard, such as Chinese and Japanese characters, are also at your fingertips with the S Pen. Also, if the user presses the Convert Text button before starting to type, their handwritten notes will automatically be converted into typed text. Two variants of the S Pen are planned: the “S Pen Fold Edition”, which can be used exclusively on the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, and the “S Pen Pro”, which has built-in Bluetooth and can be used at home. With the device and some tablets[15].

And the advanced features and ease of use don’t stop there. To provide the best foldable smartphone experience, Samsung Electronics is constantly working with several partners to develop applications optimized for the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G’s large screen, such as “Microsoft Teams”, “Microsoft Office” and “Google Duo”.

Do you want to improve your efficiency while adding unique and fun experiences to your everyday life? In this case, the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G might be the perfect solution.
