Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 & Galaxy Z Flip3 vs Galaxy S22: What’s the difference?

The Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy S22 are both great camera phones capable of taking incredible photos - whether you’re capturing tomorrow morning’s sunrise or your next big night out.

If you are looking for a clear winner, look no further than the Galaxy S22 Ultra with the most powerful camera system ever in the Galaxy range. With 12MP ultra wide, 108MP wide angle, and revolutionary dual 3x/10x optical zooms supported by a laser autofocus sensor, Galaxy S22 Ultra lets you capture high-quality close-ups, from a distance. Enjoy the most professional results ever taken in Galaxy phones.

Galaxy S22 models also have Samsung’s most advanced low-light camera technology to enhance your night-time photos, and the revolutionary Nightography feature shooting the brightest, smoothest and most lifelike night videos. Alongside Adaptive Pixel technology, the Galaxy S22 gives you the brightest and clearest photos ever.

Galaxy S22 and S22+ also come with AI-enhanced 12MP ultra wide, 50MP wide angle and a single 3x optical zoom on the rear camera array, with a 10MP wide angle selfie camera on the front, allowing you to capture unbelievably bright, blur-free and super smooth photos and videos, day or night.

Compared to the Galaxy Z Fold3’s 3 rear cameras - a 12MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom, a 12MP wide-angle camera and a 12MP ultra-wide camera, the Galaxy Z Fold3 allows you to capture super sharp images and crystal clear video filming. For selfies, a 4MP camera underscreen on the main display means no hole punch interrupting your 7.6” immersive screen, letting you enjoy cinematic streaming and gaming. The 12MP camera on the cover screen also means you can take a quick photo whenever you want.

Although the latest Galaxy S22 range is a clear winner when it comes to cameras, the Galaxy Z Fold3 sets itself apart with innovative camera modes and unique foldable experiences. Taking a group photo? The Galaxy Z Fold3’s Flex mode splits the camera into the top half and controls on the bottom half and turns the phone into its own tripod for the ultimate hands-free selfies. The two screens also allow you to display the photo preview on both sides of the camera, so you can be sure everyone is happy before the shutter snaps.

All 3 models have impressive battery life that will see you through the day, but the Galaxy S22 Ultra comes out on top with a 5,000mAh battery providing the longest battery life ever in a Galaxy S phone - up to 2 days of use**. The Galaxy S22+ has a battery capacity of 4,500mAh and the S22 has a battery capacity of 3,700mAh - these batteries have a smaller capacity than the Ultra, which is balanced out by the smaller screens that require less power. The Galaxy Z Fold3 also comes with an impressive 4,400mAh battery designed to get you through a day with up to 19 hours video playback time and 34 hours talk time.

It’s difficult to ignore the amazing Infinity Flex display on the Galaxy Z Flip3. It allows the Galaxy Z Flip3 to have a supremely pocketable 4.2” footprint when carried around before folding out to an expansive 6.7” Full HD+ screen with an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate.

The Galaxy S22 screens, however, have levelled up the adaptive refresh rate range. The Galaxy S22 Ultra lets you shift between 1Hz and 120Hz, while the S22 and S22+ offer 24-120Hz for smooth scrolling and gaming at a rate that will save your battery. Even better with an unbelievable 1750nit brightness providing the Galaxy’s brightest ever smartphone display, 80% brighter than an OLED TV. You can enjoy your streaming, working, or gaming in stunning clarity without the bright glare stopping you - even in direct sunlight.

Galaxy S22 features Samsung’s most advanced smartphone camera technology, with revolu-tionary Nightography mode that allows you to take stunning videos even at night.

The 108MP main sensor lets you capture incredible levels of detail, along with the dual 3x/10x optical zooms to make sure you can get close in on the action. Say goodbye to grainy, shaky night-time movies. With the Galaxy S22 smartphones, shooting your brightest, smoothest, most lifelike night videos has never been so effortless.

The cameras on the Galaxy Z Flip3 are also impressive with dual 12MP rear cameras featur-ing OIS and Autofocus. What really sets the Galaxy Z Flip3 apart from Galaxy S22 is the Flex mode technology, allowing you to take hands free photos by using the bottom half of the phone as a tripod to keep things steady and capture difficult angles with ease.
