Samsung has unveiled the latest foldables in town, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3, and if you're looking for a premium smartphone with cutting-edge technology, you can't look past these two options. It's starting to look like foldables are the future since they allow you to literally fold the phone in half and store it in your pocket.
