You can enjoy the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 in the car with these mounts
The latest version of Samsung’s popular foldable phone is the Galaxy Z Fold 3 — its best yet, with a comfortable, foldable design, wonderful performance, and excellent battery life. Like other mobile devices, you might want to mount this smartphone in the car while driving for navigation, controlling music, or safe hands-free phone calls. That requires a secure mount, but since this smartphone has unique needs due to its foldable design, not every car mount will work. You’ll want one that can secure the device while it’s open to its full size, which is an impressive 7.6-inch spread.

Here are the best pre-Black Friday tablet deals (so far)
