#SamsungGalaxyZFold3 #ThreeMonthsLater #BestSmartphone
The year was 1997, the movie was The Saint, and for the tech nerd in me, the film was really just part of the story. What really blew my mind was not whether Val Kilmer played a good Roger Moore. Honestly, my eyes were mostly set on that Nokia 9000 communicator.
For a guy who could barely afford a cheap Nokia 250 at the time, the idea of a phone that could morph into a communicator was the stuff of science fiction. It was this device, along with the Palms, and the Pocket PCs and the Blackberries that helped your phone today do so much more. The problem is when the flat slab took over for a couple of reasons. I honestly think the obsession over a larger flat screen got kind of out of hand, up to the point where phones today are massive, and in ways that aren't always convenient. Like I get that having a large screen is good for watching a video, but is it just as useful when trying to use it with one hand? Seriously, think about it, do you always need your phone to be large, or wouldn't it be great if your phone was easy to handle when you need it, but that became something else entirely when you need more?
This is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, one of the two smartphones I've carried in my pocket for the last two months, and honestly the one I would not leave home without if I had to pick. I know, with the iPhones and the Pixels that just got launched, that's kind of a bold statement, but it's because I've tested those products already that I find myself believing in this premise more and more. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and this is my experience with it after two months of use.

The reason Samsung doesn't get the credit they deserve because idiots rather give credit to another company who deserve nothing. As long as Apple is around, others won't get the credit they deserve, because the Apple hate group will make sure all the attention is on their 3-5 years being behind but is OK because iOS is so smoothe...lol

The fact that the fold 3 can go from a small-ish, convenient phone to a tablet when I need it is exactly why I love it. With a few minor gripes (*cough*spenslot*cough), the fold 3 is the device I have always wanted for a long time. Don't think I'll ever go back to a giant slab of a phone.

With how I use it regularly, switching often between small and larger screen, I get to around 20% by bed time. I did try to push the battery by constantly using the larger screen, and the battery drops really quick. Down to below 50% after maybe 3 hours of Netflix use. Pretty happy with battery life overall. Not a champion, but fits me just fine.

I wasn’t interested in the Fold 3 at all because as someone with petite hands I thought it would be clunky, instead I was all excited about the Flip 3 because finally a compact phone. But when I handled the Fold 3 at the store, I was surprised how compact it was and even unfolded it didn’t seem unwieldy at all. Now the Fold 3 is on my radar

@KazmirRunik
@KazmirRunik 2 роки тому
The 2nd generation was actually really close to this one, with the only things really missed being the water resistance, stylus support, and memory options. The 1st generation was an outright prototype; the thing went floppy after so many folding cycles, and the front screen was tiny. There was even rumor that the 3rd generation would be cutting down on the front screen to something more similar to the 1st generation, but it looks like that didn't happen. The 3rd generation has even got phone cases (with S-pen slots!) & screen protectors available from the shelf at physical retailers, a little step toward mainstream-ification that was missing from previous generations. The flex mode on these phones was honestly an Easter egg to discover, but I also use it in a REVERSE flex mode at times by using the front screen, turning it to landscape mode (hinge on bottom), setting it down screen-up, then unfolding it to about 45 to 60 degrees so the front screen is still on but facing upward at an angle where I can look down on it comfortably without needing any kind of stand. The width of the front-screen landscape mode makes it niche to certain applications, but I like to keep it like this for side-use of the device, especially if I expect I might be moving it around a bit. It's kind of a stand-free mode where the phone's hinge becomes its own stand by locking in place. The only outlying concern I have now is how to get this thing serviced, as it seems my only option right now is to keep it under full device-replacing insurance. That's not a problem with the phone itself, mind you, but finding an effective repair service isn't an issue with normal slate phones. My last slate phone lasted 7 years (true to its manufacturer-stated lifetime), and this one looks like it can be the next to ride out all the weathering as long as I keep it insured and the software requirements stay manageable.

You are correct the Fold 3 handles just about anything you need from a portable device with no lag time and more than adequate battery life, while fitting into your pocket! I do some consulting work on the side, and never have anxiety about interacting or even using Microsoft Office Apps on the go when I'm away from the home office.

Taking notes is much better than my best slab phone the note 20 ultra. 3 mouths later running Android 12 beta beast mode plus my S Pen never can do a regular slab again. The future is here Samsung keep on pushing the limits and others stop pushing old tech. We need more realistic reviews like yours not those can't move into future because they are scared to lose certain subscribers.

Well as long the phone works all is cool. But as soon the screen starts to crack at the crease, or as soon your fingernail nicks the display the party starts. Samsung denies any responsibility when the crease starts to splinter without any damage from outside. The price for the repair of the big display is 700.- dollars. That's insane.

So I have a zfold3, I didn't know how much I except the change and or adapt to it... but I happen two like it very much more than initially thought. I traded in my note 10+ and for easy of mind I bought note 10 small variant just incase I didn't like, I barely touch my note 10 except for car ride because it is my music source. The price is high, but all the cons many mention, I have no problem with what they said and it's also better then many think. This video actually depicts many ways I feel about it... the cameras aren't the best no not at all, but they still are very good and great in other cases. UDC is poor but service it's purpose well... maybe not for selfiers, but selfiers still have options of main camera. Battery works very well for me, though many complaints. I get through most my day with 20ish 30% batt life about 7pm . I like slab phones, and I like big screens, I have big hands, but I dislike big phones. But this to me, just me here, feels like small phones again, thick a little, but this coming from someone who used 05 Nokia and blackberry push2talk phones 😆 those boys was thick. It's definitely one that has to grow on you but once does, it's hard to use other phones not 7.6 inchs. Front screen narrow... but tall and make good for social scrolling and checking stuff. I have no problem with this phone, outside of built-in s-pen ...

This phone takes me back to htc days with h sliders and old pda devices. I am loving the phone and this is better innovation. I miss my note, but love where this is going. Inna few years, this will be thunder, more durable, and lighter. I love the narrow screen on the phone and use the unfolded mode most... Opening the phone is great for when I need it. It impressed me and others. Multitasking is great.

last time I looked samsung did not give you a an s pen in a silo , a front screen that works with an S pen , a headphone jack, an SD card , a notification light, a charger in the box even a cheap set of wired buds in the box. And the fold still has that gigantic ugly crease down the middle , and it still Costs a queens ransom. Sorry , I just don't see the attraction. but to each his own.

S Pen would be pointless on that narrow front screen. The official case and S Pen work just fine. I have been a Note user since the Note 3, the S Pen experience on this is on another level especially because the S Pen is sized like a normal PEN and has no latency. You cannot fit this inside the body of a phone. Battery life is drastically improved if you switch to 60HZ SCREEN. Coming from a Note 10, I can live with that.
@Giovanni1a

I agree with having the s-pen inside would have been convenient but I do like the size and form factor of the new s-pen compared to the very narrow one in the Note 10+ I've owned before. With the new Spigen s-pen thin cover there is a perfect solution to store the pen and still be able to use the device much better than with the Samsung cover.
