Is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 worth $1800? And is it a phone that I would recommend? In this long-term Z Fold 3 review I will answer those questions. After 6 months of use, I feel like I have a very good outlook. I have to admit that I did not have very high expectations for the Z Fold 3 when it initially came out. If we’re being fair, the original Z Fold was innovative, but was more “good in concept” than a fantastic value; the Z fold 2 was better, but still had some significant drawbacks - so I wasn’t exactly sure what we’re going to get with the 3. And I don’t just mean in terms of a feature set, but practically speaking - how would it hold up to heavy, real-life use.

No fold owner cares about your mumbo jumbo babbling brook of gibberish. All that matters is when we pull out our fold device and all the raves it gets. Been using my fold 2 now for two years and whenever I take out, it still turns heads and gets complimented on. And in this superficial, crabs in barrel, backstabbing, pretentious, fake it till you make it, seeking attention and getting rejected world we live in, getting raves is all that matters. Here ends the lesson.

I just switched to iPhone from using android all my life. I have the 13pro Max. It kinda sucks compared to android. I actually had to call and ask for advice on a couple of occasions which I never had to do with android. Simple things like looking for pictures from your camera, and having to type in “iPhone pro max photos” makes zero sense to me. Picture in picture UKposts works sporadically, and I might have to pay for UKposts premium just to have that feature. My next phone will be a Samsung. I had a one plus, which was absolutely amazing, but the notification issue made me lazy, and not check messages and emails not so often. I’m with you, I’ll probably get the next version when it comes out. Felt like I somewhat downgraded getting the iPhone. The custom emoji is cool tho…

It's March of 2022 and soooo many people (especially Apple users) are blown away by it when they realize I'm using it. I'm more than willing to show them it's capabilities. The cover display is exactly what it is, but when I open up 4 simultaneously running screens and then drag a UKposts video toward the middle and expand it, make it larger and move it across the screen while I'm shopping, checking social media and ordering delivery. Did you know that you can play stadia while you're doing this? Yeah! This phone is Stealth Bomber and when people realize it's there, they either already got one or know they messed up by not getting one. It's an absolute beast and anyone who has one knows that look people have when they see you open it up. Good luck using an iPhone as a conversation starter....

Your Z-Fold 3 reviews have been spot-on and you've covered a lot of its strengths and weaknesses. I am really enjoying the Fold 3 but lately have been experiencing horrifically bad lag at times but a factory reset might help. The camera is okay and battery life is passable, but I hardly use the main display which defeats the purpose of having a Fold. The cover display lets me do nearly every task so well I literally forget to use the main display. For these reasons I may switch to the S22 Ultra.

I have never had the Fold3 but I came to the same conclusion, most of the stuff I use my phone for is easily achieved on a slab phone, so it seems pointless paying the extra for the bigger display. I have my tablet and laptop for that. It is not as if I am out in the evening say having a meal and need a big display, and at work I am in my car so zero need for a bigger display. It seems to me the Fold concept is very niche and more like people using it as an all-in-one because they can rather than choosing the best device(s). Lets be real, anyone that can pay $1800 for a Fold3 and lose $800 just by walking out of the shop, will probably have multiple devices or can afford to!

Ive actually come to the same conclusion. Suprisingly about 85% of the time im using the front cover. Which cant be written on by the spen. So i decided to go to the 22 Ultra until they make the front display bigger and maybe the spen gets housed in the actual device

As someone who owns a Z Fold 3 since launch, I can attest to the durability of the device as I have never put a case on it and it still looks like new. The hinge is still as stiff as it was on day 1. Yes the crease is there, yes you can see it, yes you can feel it. Is it a deal breaker? No. For me, battery life has been a non issue and I only let the phone charge up to 85% to protect the battery. The charging speeds could be better but I can understand Samsung wanting to play it safe on a folding device. The outer display is perfect for one handed use even if it feels skinnier at first. It just fits well in one hand, reminiscent of a TV remote. The cameras are great but nothing groundbreaking. They are true and tried sensors that performs well. This device is NOT for everyone though. There is a learning curve, even if you're coming from another Samsung device. My biggest gripe is the lack of native DeX support akin to their Tab S tablets while using the inner display.
@user-qk8dk9in1o
@user-qk8dk9in1o 2 роки тому
I can confirm the authenticity of your statement on durability as I have owend a Z fold 3 since launch as well, however i switched to S22U immediately after its release because I found myself using the outer screen for the most of the time and it is honestly way to small to be productive in any means... After months of use I just long for a normal phone with a normal screen.

I wanted to wait until I was confident the fold was worth the high price tag and the 3 was the one for me. The battery is no worse than my last phone so I I don't find the battery bad, I'd have liked a few hundred mah more but it's good enough. Great video

Great, Comprehensive Review as always. So I got this for 512GB off eBay for $1500 last October and it came with the Stylus Pen and Samsung Flip Cover(which I'm not a fan of as the case doesn't have a magnet and flaps open and closed), and the Spigen Slim Armour Pro Case, so even though it is still the most I've paid(I got the Lenovo Yoga 9i for less) and it's definitely not a phone that I'd recommend to everyone, it is still the most FUN I've had with a phone in a LONG time and there is something so AWESOME about being able to fold/unfold and people want to know what phone it is and it is definitely a Conversation Starter. And using split screen or multi-window makes me more productive and able to mult-task and get more done simultaneously. Also using Flex Mode and not having to have a stand is wonderful as well too. I also got the VRS Fold 3 Terraguard Case as well as the case you have here to put the Stylus Pen on the side but it sticks out and is kind of obstrusive in my opinion so I am thinking about getting the VRS Terraguard Case that has the Stylus Pen slot on the hinge. And yes the cameras aren't the best but at the end of the day this is the most fun I've had with a phone for a long time and I don't think I will be able to go back to a regular slab phone again.

I only switched bc I'm switching carriers and it's the best option for me to get out of the contract and save $, but yay! New (slightly used) phone! Lol

Its been 6 months for me too. It is indeed built like a tank. I am using Aramid case and wouldn't use any other case. It is sleek and overall it is fantastic. Only issue since beginning was the typing on large screen, but I use voice instead of type so guess that is the future. Apart from typing, there is nothing else a conventional phones can be better over this. Fantastic job Samsung. I dropped my phone once but put my feet instinctively and it hit my shoe and slid across the hard floor on a Starbucks. Nothing, not a single scratch or anything. The Aramid case is indeed highly functional and the phone is the future. Feels small in pocket as well. Weight can be improved but later generations might address this. Overall, the weight, the form factor(typing on large screen), and crease are the only ones that seem to be concerning at first but they are very tiny complaints and don't matter at on on daily usage.

I only use a thin plastic case to protect it and with the number of times Ive dropped it the device is durable. I'm really happy I didn't get the fold 3 only for the fact that the experience without the s pen is too similar.

I have had my fold 3 since release. I LOVE it, and just like love it isn't perfect. The battery could be better and it really needs dust resistance. I just sent my back to samsung for a repair. something got thru the hinge and behind the screen tehn blacked out a circle of pixels. Samsung was really good about it though. The only thing that sucks is that I had to send my fold back and am now using a moto edge while I wait for my fold to return. Going back to a flat, non folding phone, I miss my fold even more faults and all. it should be back in 4 or 5 more days!! There is nothing like being able to fold a phone in half. I also love how narrow it is when folded. feels great in the hand!

My use case for my phone has always been reading and content consumption. The S pen lose is hard for me in a "conventional" storage method. I know they couldn't fit it the chassis, but its growing pains. I know the ultra 22 "note" has the spen BUT I agree with you that the true note should/is the fold and the phone should come with the spen. Will see if i get it.

The zfold3 is hands down the best phone to ever come on the market. The crease hasn't even after 8 months become more defined. Cracked or cloudy. The resolution is amazing on both the front screen and main screen. So real it looks fake. I love that it came with screen protectors on it already. I will say finding a case that worked was trial and error but I ended up finding one. The case is pretty big but the phone is also extremely large so it bense. Typing on the big screen Is amazing. It's like typing on a mini but large qwerty keyboard. the looks I get when I fold the phone open or closed is hilarious. So many people i know have ended up switching to the zfold3. Having the ability to use the front screen like a regular phone. And then open it up to a mini tablet is awesome. Never experienced anything like it. As far as gaming goes. It's hands down the best mobile gaming device I've ever used. I dont think there will ever be a phone to compete with the zfold3s ability to process and play games. I loved the s22 ultra and almost got it for personal. Instead I have it as a work phone and I must say I love that just as much. Moral of the story. Samsung is going to slowly take over the phone market. Iphone will be phased out. Samsung just knows how to build solid phones that actually get upgraded each model rather than a camera lense being added or false claims of hardware/software updates. I will always choose samsung over iPhone and haven't looked bsck since the iPhone 6s+ never will I go back to iPhone. Samsung is elite.

Speaker quality is one of the features I'm looking for on my next purchase. I've held on to a Nexus 6 for a decade because I haven't heard equivalent or better speakers. So, I bought the Black Shark 5 Pro... and WOW, those are just a tiny bit better than the Nexus 6, a decade later. Little bit more bass, and some depth. I need a new phone though, Android has moved on so much that my apps run slowly, because they have to run in compatibility mode. So, the BS5 Pro, was as close as I was going to get. But... are they making phones now for skinny jean wearing people? This screen is supposed to be .75" bigger, but the display is unusable for me, it's tiny compared to the Nexus 6. I lose nearly .75" diagonal viewing videos because of the silly aspect ratio. And I can't read news articles anymore because I've lost about 20% viewing width in portrait. So, the Black Shark may have the "best current speakers on the market", but I can't stand the screen. *That said... how is the bass response of the Fold 3? And does it have Dolby Atmos?*

S Pen usage between devices won't happen, unless they change the regular S Pens, the Fold one uses a different tip to not damage the foldable screen. So unless they develop a completely new foldable screen, I don't see that happening. Front screen use would be great though, and honestly quite weird that it doesn't work.

4:04 I wish you would have elaborated more on the hinge getting sand in there. I’m considering this phone, however I am in construction, and dirt and dust is a daily nuisance. Can you say whether or not a Otterbox case will prevent the hinge getting dirty? Also, has there been any build up of debris in the crease on the screen? That looks like a hot spot for failure.

Mine is coming soon. Went to my store, and the salesman didn't want to sell me the Z Fold 3. He kept guiding me to 22 ultra or another premium non-folding phone. He told me to do my research and come back. He didn't even push the mini-fold. I had to leave there and buy it at another non-corporate Verizon store. Well, watched videos and read a lot. I think I made a good choice. The salesman of the first store not so much.

I've had mine for about 4 months. There must have been some update recently because now I have two problems. I'd really appreciate help. One is a frequent (every minute or so when playing youtube vid but also at other times) freezing of the screen with "Google smart lock and my main email address" The message disappears if I touch the screen. I've had gone to the Smart Lock settings and made the changes suggested with no change. I've made sure I have no unread emails but no effect. The other change which the phone has made is that I can no longer rotate in full screen, for example with youtube. I have gone to the setting and made sure the correct option is checked for youtube. Any suggestions? I'm up to doing a factory reset next.

This is the perfect phone for me, this or the galaxy s21 fe. I personally really like tall and skinny phones, and the folded mode on this fits what I like, and rather than getting another device like a tablet, I can just unfold it. It's my wants, likes and needs combined into one. The s21 fe is my second choice because of the price. The specs are good, the build quality is good and it doesn't miss out on other features that the higher priced s series phones have.

I listen to podcasts all day while I work, The Note 10 just wasn't holding up for the battery, So the battery hasn't been an issue for me for the Z Fold. Disappointing on no S-Pen holster.

Had this phone for six months now and find typing really irritating on the front screen. Fed up of hitting the wrong key. Dropped it without a case twice now from low heights while sat down. Aluminium is all scratched and paint came off and front screen cracked top and bottom. Only thing it is good for is it fits in your pocket easier than slab phones and watching films on. Find myself just leaving it at home now which is a bonus as my screen time is around 45 mins a day so I am not a slave to my phone anymore.

So basically I live somewhere that internet is garbage and service is ok at best, but after finally upgrading my laptop to something similar that I had for work I realized that my cell phone and even tablet are dinos in comparison. I am finally ready to upgrade my phone and since I upgrade every like 5 years I don't mind dropping a pretty penny on a new one, but I had some stipulations. I don't want to have to have a tablet, laptop and cell phone if they are all going to work best at home. I don't want to pay for a line for my tablet when I could upgrade my phone and have a similar experience on my phone. But while at work I need to be able to make design fixes and social media/marketing updates for my personal business (which is not frowned upon where I work, we all support each others other endeavors). everything about this phone is what I am looking for even pushing into the not normal use, these are things I really need it to have for this price range. I really love this review because I wasn't sure if it was all talk or really seamless features. Thank you for this

I’ve always been interested in the Z Fold series, but I don’t think I could ever make the switch from iPhone. Apple Pay lowers your available bank balance immediately so you can’t forget that you’ve spent money and spend too much. Samsung Pay waits 3-5 working days to lower the available bank balance and actual bank balance at the same time, so it’s easy to forget that you’ve spent money and overspend. I also write a lot, and the ability to make a quick edit to my writing on my phone and have that edit immediately available on my MacBook is something I couldn’t move away from.

Hi, has anyone here got a problem with the screen? I got my fold 3 about 1 month ago, everything has been wonderful until today when i just noticed something they called "dead or stuck pixel" on the main screen, just on the line of the crease (sorry i am not a tech person so i have no idea to tell if that is a dead or a stuck pixel. It is to my eyes like a leakage of lights with different colors in that small densed spot). Now the thing is, if I go for a replacement, i feel unsure if this problem ever comes again with the new phone. And we know how pricey this phone is ....

It took me a few months before I got convinced to get the GF3; I've had it for a little over a month now with a free S-Pen and I have no regrets with the purchase. The battery is my main issue because I find that I only have enough to keep it on once I get home from work (with 5g on all day) but other than that, everything has been perfect. I still use my S21 Ultra for photos because it does a slightly better job but if I only had a GF3, I think the camera wouldn't be an issue either. My biggest surprise is this: I never realized how much I missed typing with one hand until I got the GF3. Like you, I find myself using the outer screen more than I thought I would. Some people would argue it's too skinny, but it's perfect for one-handed operation and I love it.
