Samsung Brings Industry-leading Partners into the Galaxy Z Series
My friends have so far been very impressed with the Galaxy Z Fold3
Samsung Malaysia passed me a Galaxy Z Fold3 5G to try out and so look out for my review of it soon.
One thing that amazed me was the fact that the apps on the Galaxy Z Fold3 have been optimized for operation on an almost square screen. That is because Samsung expanded its partnership with companies including Google and Microsoft to deliver the most optimized foldable experience for users.
From now until 31 October 2021, purchase the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G to receive a RM500 e-voucher and a one year plan of Samsung Care+ worth RM799. Consumers who purchase the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G within the same promotional period will receive a RM350 e-voucher and a one year plan of Samsung Care+ worth RM699.
