Samsung announced a special edition of its foldable for lovers of Pokemon

On the official website of Samsung Korea, the arrival of a new edition of the foldable cell phone is announced Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. This is a version with accessories and aesthetics of the popular augmented reality video game Pokémon Go.

The date of this release is April 25, as can be inferred by viewing the active counter on the web; although there is also a clarification below that says that there could be changes, in the announcement.

“Be the first to know about the Galaxy Z Flip 3, which has become even more special through the greatest collaboration in history” is read when entering the site, along with the invitation to join a subscription to receive updates about this event.

There are no details as to what this version of the foldable mobile will look like. There are probably no differences in the technical characteristics of the cell phone, although from the photo included on the page, it is clear that there is a clear imprint of the popular augmented reality game.

You can see six Pokémon cards; a Pikachu tail keychain, a mobile phone case, a ring holder in the shape of a Pokeball and a transparent Pikachu case. Apparently all these elements will accompany the launch of the new device.

Although it is also clarified below that “the actual product may differ from the image above and the components may change” due to certain circumstances.

It should be remembered that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 was launched in August 2021 and its features include its pocket-size. It features a 6.7″ AMOLED display, with an adaptive refresh rate of 120 Hz; with Gorilla Glass Victus glass on both sides, combined with an aluminum design.

The company has said, in its presentation, that the folding can withstand 200 thousand times the bending movement.

It has dual rear camera (12MP ultra-wide and 12MP wide-angle) and a 10MP front camera. You can take a selfie with the Dual Preview function with the phone closed by taking a quick snapshot, for example. In this sense, many applications are optimized for the Flex Mode of the device, such as the camera, and others that can be enabled.

It has a dual battery of 3300mAh (makes it last longer as it consumes less energy); 8GB of RAM, with 128GB and 256GB of internal storage. In addition, it integrates a 5mm 64-bit eight-core processor.

His fingerprint sensor is on the side of the cell phone and has facial recognition. The outer panel, designed for notifications and other uses, is 1.9″ Super AMOLED (in the first model it was 1.1″). This display allows you to access quick settings, widgets and apps, and it also serves as a photo preview.

As for Pokémon Go, it's an augmented reality video game for mobile devices, developed by Niantic that was released in July 2016. The goal is to search and capture characters from the Pokémon saga hidden in real-world locations and fight with them, which requires the user to move physically through the streets.

The app also has a social aspect, as it encourages the physical encounters of players in different spaces of the analog world.

This new Samsung release, which at least initially would only take place in Korea, aims to combine both worlds: the playful aspect of a game that was born with mobile phones and the benefits of a foldable mobile phone that, being small and light, is easier to port to different places.
