Does the Galaxy Z Fold3 work with the S Pen?

Yes. It supports S Pen input on the main screen, but not every S Pen: the Fold Edition and S Pen Pro are the ones made for it, and there is no pen slot in the body.

Is the Galaxy Z Fold3 water resistant?

It carries an IPX8 rating, so it tolerates brief immersion in fresh water. The rating does not cover dust, and Samsung still advises keeping the hinge and screen away from sand and grit.

How does it compare with the Galaxy Z Fold4?

The Fold4 is lighter, has a wider cover screen, a better main camera and longer software support. The Fold3 keeps the same book-style design and S Pen support, so it is the better pick only if the larger screen matters more than those refinements.

Can I use two apps side by side?

Yes. The inner screen runs split-screen multitasking and app pairs, and Flex mode lets apps like the camera and video players use the top and bottom halves when the phone is partly open.

The phone comes with a USB-C cable and a SIM ejector tool. There is no charger in the box, and no S Pen.

Does it support 5G and wireless charging?

Yes. It is a 5G phone and supports wireless charging as well as Samsung's Wireless PowerShare for topping up accessories.

Our take on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G

The Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is Samsung's third-generation book-style foldable phone. It opens into a 7.6-inch inner display and closes to a narrower outer screen, and it is the first Fold to support the S Pen and to carry an IPX8 water-resistance rating. It suits people who want a phone that doubles as a small tablet for reading, split-screen work and video. Against later folds it is heavier and its cover screen is narrow, and its battery and cameras trail the newest models, but it remains a capable multitasker.

Owners rate it highly for the big inner screen and multitasking, and many call the S Pen and water resistance meaningful upgrades. Complaints center on weight, the narrow cover display and battery life that is merely adequate.
