The next chapter in mobile innovation 

With the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and the Z Flip3 5G subscribers can truly enjoy the next chapter in mobile innovation. Both devices are equipped with an improved foldable screen with the revolutionary Hideaway Hinge, which allows the screens to stay in place at any angle while in its Flex mode. They also come with IPX84 water resistance, Armor Aluminum—the strongest aluminum ever used on a Galaxy smartphone—and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus screens to protect against scratches and accidental drops. 

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G boasts uninterrupted 7.6-inch Infinity Flex main display with the new under-display camera. It’s also the first foldable device to be compatible and fully optimized with the S Pen, allowing on-the-go multitaskers to take notes on the wide main display while having other apps open. 

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G comes with a bigger cover screen for easier reading of notifications and messages, with apps accessible even when the phone is folded. 

For entertainment lovers, the device has upgraded stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos for a much clearer sound and a more immersive experience. 

Philippines' fastest and widest 5G network 

Samsung users in the Philippines can experience the fastest speeds on the Smart network, according to Ookla®, the global leader in internet testing and analytics. 

In its recent evaluation, Ookla reported that Samsung devices are fastest on the Smart network, with users enjoying a median download speed of 28.34 mbps and median upload speed of 6.45 mbps. Ookla also cited Smart as the Philippines' fastest 5G network for Q1-Q2 2021 with a Speed Score 0f 204.81 Mbps based on 237,142 user-initiated 5G tests with Speedtest. 

On the other hand, Smart has also scored a rare sweep in the April 2021 Philippines Mobile Network Experience Awards by independent analytics firm Opensignal, beating the competition across all metrics in three essential aspects of service: Coverage (4G Coverage Experience, 4G Availability), Speed (Download and Upload Speed) and Experience (Games, Video and Voice app). This is the first time an operator in the Philippines won decisively in all categories.
