Rated 5 out of 5 by from Feels good to use without a case. a case makes this phone difficult to use when it's folded. I don't like using it much when it's folded. It gets heavy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Innovative, but not perfect. I've had this phone for about 11 months now and it is by far my favorite phone of all time. Coming from a galaxy s10e which was, and still is a top tier device I didn't think I'd like any phone more, but I was wrong. The inner foldable display has made editing photos in lightroom a dream. It's a powerful mobile photo editing studio. The outer display while narrower than a regular candy bar shaped phone does a decent job on its own. My biggest cons with this phone is the battery life. There are days where I can get through no problem, then there are some where the battery just depletes rapidly even when being used lightly. Overall it's well worth it and makes regular phones seem boring.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Horrible phone, way over priced! This phone turned black straight down the middle after only a month after purchase, no drops no foul play and luckily it was under warranty but still a head ache to have to deal with such an expensive phone. The battery sucks really really bad, won't even hold 12 hours with being active on it. I'm very active at work with my phone and won't last 4 hours. Horrible ?? definitely not worth the money. The screen is sometimes bigger then the screen I'm on, so I can't read all words. Then sometimes the content is smaller then the screen I'm on and there is a space all around the screen. All in all this phone sucks and is so not worth the price tag it comes with. Worst impulse buy ever. I do not recommend this product at all!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great improvement Over the Z Fold 2! Having owned the Galaxy Z Fold 2, this is a huge improvement in almost all aspects, especially the battery. At first I was skeptical due to the fact that the Z Fold 3 actually has a smaller battery than the Z Fold 2, but to my surprise the battery life is actually drastically longer than its predecessor! The hinge is smaller and the inner screen feels more solid as well. On the Z Fold 2 after a year, the inner screen protector started to peel along the crease but on the Z Fold 3 the inner screen protector is still in mint condition. Overall I am impressed on how much Samsung improved and am looking forward to upgrade when the next Galaxy Z Fold is released! The only thing that I wished they would have included on this phone is the Samsung Pay Magnetic Secure Transmission feature it retired. My Galaxy Z Fold 2 had the feature. Some places in my hometown still do not have NFC so MST was the perfect solution. Also, I loved the look on people faces when I proved to them that I could pay with my phone even if they had an older card reader lol

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best phone yet I have been using a Samsung and apple flagships as my primary and secondary phone ever since the original Samsung galaxy s and the iPhone s times . But once to have your hands on the z fold series there is no going back . I still have an iPhone 13pro max but that thing is paperweight when we compare it to this one . I have used the z fold 3 for over a year and I have not a single dull moment with it . Only one negative is that you have to handle the phone delicately but even that is overcomed when you unfold it and everyone is amazed to see the huge screen .

This phone can honestly stand tall against even the best tablets even laptops. Please do your self a favor and check it out and thank me later .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing, Do Everything Device I got my phone a couple of days before the actual release date, so it was my first exclusive experience and I'm happy this was the phone I got that experience with. This phone can do any and everything, even the unexpected. It's already beyond the norm with the fact that it can fold out into a tablet and multitask like a beast, but being able to connect a monitor and keyboard and use Samsung Dex is a whole other level. I love this phone and will probably never return to a normal candy bar style device again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sucks Could not give this phone a worst review if I tried. It drains battery, the inside screen sucks. The smaller screen doesn't adjust to the size of your apps amd squishes everything or cuts it off. I dropped it ONCE and I got the black screen of death. And when I say dropped Iean fell off my couch. On carpet. Would NOT recommend. Incredibly disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great but doesn’t last Amazing phone I really loved a lot so much so that I didn’t upgrade to Zfold 4. I was going to wait for 5. Big mistake bought it August 21 by November 22 3 months after the end of manufacturing warranty the fold center died now have a lack line on it and big screen barely works. I did upgrade fold 2 to 3 in a year so I wasn’t árabe of issues. Didn’t expect this to happen. Their solution upgrade to Zfold 4. So if you ok changing phone every years this is phone for u. If plan to keep for a while is not. Google it I’m not alone with this issue. Some died in 3 months. Support wasn’t surprised with the issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Redefined You know I've own Samsung products ever since I was a child. And I remember the s2 when it came out how a 4.5 inch screen was huge. And today's day and age is simply ruled by technology and the z fold 3 the z fold line up period is progression of the future by holding a promise by laying these handsets in the palm of consumers hands they take technology to a entire whole new level when it comes to unfolding the screen and I have owned every s phone and every single not from the very first ones. The z fold is something that will take your breath away and it does everything as it should and it does it to almost sheer perfection. From the build quality to edges to the displays. Even to the battery life which is actually pretty decent I get easily through a whole days use on a single day and sometimes im still at 40 percent. All I can say is the z series do things with raw sheer grace and they do nothing but attract attention everywhere you go that apple logo becomes non existent when people see that beautiful screen unfolds and they see the display and they hold it themselves it takes people minds to a whole new world of imagination. The z series do things that phones shouldn't do honestly and everything it does it simply say just like the world famous rapper Jarrad Higgins "juice world" he had said anything YOU CAN DO I CAN DO BETTER! Thats what the z series is all about.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Can't go back to a regular phone After almost a year with my Fold 3, I can't see myself going back to a regular phone. The utility of a fold phone has been awesome. I find myself multitasking much more often than I did when I even had a Note 20. On top of the utitlity, the screen is amazing for entertainment purposes. Between movies, videos, streams, and games. The opportunity to open the screen to it's full size can't be best other than a full size tablet. But those can't go in your pocket.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked fine, until the screen saver separated... So I purchased the Fold 3 in August of 2021. I was quite pleased with the phone, the form factor in particular. The interior screen provided me with a lot of real estate for getting work done on the go. But a few months after my warranty expired, I noticed that the adhesive film over the screen saver began to separate from the screen itself. I didn't know it at the time, but this was a precursor to the screen saver eventually damaging the actual screen. If you, unfortunately, get a phone where the adhesive is not positioned properly, normal use WILL cause the screen saver to bubble up off the surface of the screen. As you open and close the device, the problem will get worse, and unbeknownst to you, the film is actually tugging on the screen. Enough times, and the screen will get the infamous black damage that MANY users of this device are complaining about. And since my device is out of warranty, Samsung refused to assist without a hefty cost. I've used Samsung phones for years. This is the first time I've encountered a technical issue that was no fault of my own. Samsung should have tested this device more diligently before it's release. Very disappointed with this purchase AND with Samsung.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Far more than I expected! I've wanted this phone for several years but held off because of its lack of water resistance. I follow a fitness routine that has me around water daily. Online in Florida where for about a third of the year getting caught in the rain is a daily occurrence. So I passed and settled last year for an LG V60. This year I made the move to the Fold because it had water resistance AND Pen support. (I loved the pen function on my V 60.) I had several concerns about the Fold 3--size and battery. When I first picked up the Fold, it seemed small! It was shorter and more narrow than my V60. It weighed only 2 ozs more than the V60--not counting the second screen. It's obviously thicker, but it's narrower and shorter. The battery could be a problem for some, but I've yet to exhaust it and I run it all out. I even limit recharge to 85%. There are ways to limit battery drain. I have a Watch 4 and I can check notifications and emails on it and avoid opening the Fold. I can do most things in the front screen. The screen is narrow and the keys tiny. But I'm developing my one-handed swipe typing and you can also rotate the screen for a larger keyboard. (I've yet to see a reviewer who complains about the front screen rotate the damned thing.) The crease does not bother me. I rarely notice it. The poor internal camera I only use for video chats. There are so many better cameras to use. The cameras aren't too of the line, but I'm not a big time phone photographer. If I'm serious about a photo, I'll use my Sony camera. The internal screen is still not as strong as a glass screen, but it's better and it has an advantage other screens lack. When the screen is folded it is also protected far more than conventional phone screens. I'm only starting to make the best use of the inner screen and it's flexibility. I love reading on my phone now with my Kindle App. What a joy. I can open a SM app in the left, and a news site in the right and easily share stories and comments in a way I couldn't before. I've had my Fold for about a month. I do not regret buying it. It's an amazing device and unless something goes south over the next year, I'll buy another one. I'm perfectly satisfied. Nevertheless, this isn't a phone for everyone. It's too much phone for my diminutive wife who loves her Flip 3. It's not the phone for a Content producer who needs the best cameras and video capability. It's also not the phone for someone who spends many more hours than I do gaming (none) or watching videos (some). I should add that this supports Dex and I'm waiting for my Dock to arrive, which should add an entire new dimension to device use when I travel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not happy. I was very excited to get my new Samsung Galaxy ZFold 3. I have poor eyesight and large fingers and the bigger screen size was something I was looking forward to. I was a little nervous about the folding screen part but thought surely they have that part worked out by now. Surely they will honor their warranty if it messes up. They don't and they didn't. I have had the phone now for about 4 months. I put a case on it to protect it. I treat it very well. After 4 months of what I would call normal to careful use, the screen in the fold part began to separate from the phone. At first this was simply not nice to look at but soon started to affect the touch screen functionality. I am very unhappy with this phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unlucky 48 hours after purchase there was a flash and a pop and the left screen started flickering called Verizon for warranty and since I wasn't gonna be home for 2 weeks was told not to drop it or scuff it at all or I would have to use the insurance and pay a deductible 3 days later it slips off the dash Mount and hits my gear shift scratching the phone. Insurance then refuses to fix it because it was a preexisting condition. So now I have a heavy phone with no tablet capabilities. So I may just be unlucky but I can't recommend the phone or Verizon insurance

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The only great thing in this phone is big screen This is my worst Samsung phone I ever had: - camera is very mediocre - front screen is lacking sensitivity/ always misspelling - pan doesn't work on the front screen - hinge is to tight to open it "on the go"/ so in 80% you're on the small/front screen - screen ratio are weird (both screens)/ so you pretty often see either jammed or cut-off texts in multiple apps and sometimes even in browser. - even in YouTube videos the big screen is not used correctly. - The Samsung (original) cover for this photo is a total disaster with the stupid pan-location *** The only thing's stopping me to switch to iPhone is total waste of my 1700$ cause they don't have decent trade-in program.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not worth it I purchased it in October 2021 and three months later it completely stopped working. I sent it in, they "repaired" it and sent back. Not even two months in, the phone started to have sound issues when I made calls. I had to send it back again. Overall, this Samsung model is too expensive for the quality. I would like to return it and purchase a Samsung model I really do trust. Don't make the same mistake I did, do not purchase the Fold3.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The world in your hands! I am so happy that I made the investment in this phone. It is like having my phone, computer and television in my hands at all times. Traveling has been simplified and compact because I no longer have to carry my laptop with me every time. The only downside to this phone that I have seen thus far is, the signal strength is not as good with the case on, it is slow to respond at times, and some sites and apps do not display properly when the phone is in full open mode. Overall, still a great phone and I recommend for business professionals on the move a lot. I have become a true fan of the Samsung brand over the last 10yrs plus.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointed So far, not good. Im wondering how samsung expects you to charge your phone with no adapter. A phone that costs almost $2000 should not come without proper accessories. Do i need to now go out and buy an adapter. Also, the cases for this phone are ridiculous. Couldn't find a good case for weeks and most of them offer terrible coverage. In still feeling out the phone so i will have a follow up to this review. I noticed samsung also dropped the price for the phone. Not cool. 2 weeks after i purchased it. This will probably be my past phone with this company. I have had galaxy from there was one. I went through 1- 10 and then just turned my note plus in. Every phone this company releases seems to get worse. They took away the free earpieces that came with the phone, now its the adapter. Whats next samsung?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This life-changing device, at least for me For objectivity, let's state it at the very onset: I waste no time upgrading my Samsung phones. They are always worth the upgrade, but the Z-Fold 3 changed my life. I was in desperate need of a device that would have security compatibility as well as Graphic capabilities: a tall order. Z fold 3 meets all that. The camera is, as expected, excellent. The audio is so good that for the first time, I can listen to the music just from my phone. I am hoping the screen undulation one day will disappear, but other than that this is groundbreaking in every aspect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome phone Finally got tired of the same old designs of the iPhone and decided to try a phone completely different from all the others with a fresh look and different OS so I chose my first Samsung phone and am absolutely totally thrilled with it. I use my phone a lot for surfing the web and this fold out design is wonderful. It makes navigation on the web simple and the display is incredible. The size for me is close to perfect. This has been, by far, the most I have ever spent on a phone and so far it has been worth every cent.

Left Call of Duty on and phone open on large screen, left room to get drink and came back 3 min later to black line down crease. no apps are almost unaccessible from that screen. Apparently upon research this is a chronic problem.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful phone. It is an extremely Nice looking and excellent phonexcellent phone to use. When you unfold it it's almost like looking add a tablet instead of a phone. It does have a few minor flaws in it. The S pen does not work when the phone is folded on the front screen. When you have the phone unfolded And you try to move the screen up or down it will freeze and then you have to wet the tip of your finger to get it to move again. This also happens sometime when you use the back arrow. I have only used this for a few weeks and there is no sign of any cracks in the screen as of yet and I hope I never find 1. But from the other reviews that I have read there is always that possibility. Otherwise I really love this phone and I am glad that I purchased it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Too much issues The software updates have been screwing up with the keyboard, screen, causing a lot of lagging and freezing. Thee are bubbles forming on the screen!!! :-( There are no ssnsor to find the SPen (the Smarthing App is useless). The cover with the SPen doesn't stay closed and the SPen keeps slipping out. I truly regret buying this particular model.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not what I expected I thought this phone would be way more amazing than my old phone....I was sadly mistaken. From the first day trying to get into apps was a struggle. It would constantly just give a blank screen or freeze like it was loading. I would have to close it out and try again. It does it every day. The battery life is a joke and the phone gets so hot that it feels like it's going to blow up. I wish I could like it but I hate it. Thankfully I got it for the 21 days for free. This is getting returned after a week. I just want my old phone back. Oh and the case is so weird and doesn't really protect the screen...it's all floppy and loose. All in all I give it a 1 out of 5....and the 1 star is because it can fold

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Garbage screen and warranty Not even 24hrs after getting the phone, I noticed a black line in the middle of the fold which grew quickly. The phone is in perfect condition, never dropped and not even a scratch. I’m told that warranty would cover it since it’s a manufacturer defect, only to be told that even though it’s not my fault and the phone is not cracked nor broken this is considered physical damage and I have to pay over $500 for a repair of a faulty phone. Looking online it appears that I’m not the only one this has happened to. Don’t get this phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect size I am very pleased with my z fold 3. I had a Note before and was looking for a tablet. Now I have the note and the tablet in one. No need to buy a separate tablet.. The phone folds down to the perfect size for purse or pocket. Once I was disciplined to the stylus not storing in the phone I'm fine with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome phone, I just wish... Im amaze with this phone, I just wish a later version a little wider, so when I open the phone the wide would almost be the length of the height. When the phone is close, is a little bit narrow for me to text, and sometimes I do prefer texting with my phone closed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent smartphone/tablet So happy with the Z fold 3. When folded it's easy to get quick access to notification and basic needs but when unfolded I can use it for just about anything and everything. Budget files, video viewing, movies, drawing, editing just about everything but heard that it's not optimized for video editors and content creators, Luckily I'm not one of them but may become one and hope more features can be added for this. Would love to record videos edit them amd upload them to YouTube. The 120hz is a great feature and when I get another phone without it I tend to get inpatient waiting for it.

Almost like a theater screen compared to all other phones. Absolutely no lag at all changing apps and doing tasks even with 3 open at once. It's expensive, but I feel that it's worth it with the features and performance. If you want the coolest and most head turning phone look no further.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the big screen I bought my Z Fold a couple of weeks ago and so far it's a great phone. I wish the front screen was a bit wider, sometimes it cuts off the edges of things, but if it bothers me too much, I'll just open my phone. The phone is very heavy, but that's not too big of a deal, it just goes in my back pocket. I subtracted a star because Samsung should have put the S Pen in the phone like the Note models instead of selling it separately. I liked having the pen with my Note, but you have to choose your S Pen with the Z Fold, one that will fit in a case that won't take pictures (even though it has the button) for $50 or an extra large pen that will take pictures, but it's $100 and it won't fit in a case and you have to charge it every few days. For $1800, this phone should have a pen tucked inside it that you don't have to charge. Overall, it's a nice phone, good pics, good screens, good battery (about the same as my Note 10).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Future Is Exciting Again I bought this phone a few weeks ago and did not have the most high of expectations, I have always owned an iPhone and that is my daily driver. But since owning this fold, I would have to say I haven’t felt this much excitement and joy out of my smartphone in a long time! I look at this device as just the Samsung Galaxy S3 of 2021. The 3rd model in a series that will be evolving every year into something eventually everybody will want. I love the screen. I love the hidden hole punch for the front facing camera. I love the selfie mode on the front screen using the rear cameras. I love the speed of the device. I love the accessibility and wow factor of the device. It’s truly a fantastic device and I can’t say enough about it! All I can say is that I can not wait to see what devices can do in the future, I feel like it’s pretty secure with Samsung.

After about a week or so I noticed it was getting bigger then noticed another one about the first one. Now I'm convinced it's more of a stress crack on the fold. Contacted Samsung and they want to charge me 250 bucks to fix it when it's a screen weakness. Been a loyal Samsung user for years. That's about to change.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great phone, but...... Functionality and feel is great. I love the versatility of the phone over all. Only issue I have is the front screen is nowhere near what they say. DO NOT put any kind of protective case on as it will chip the edges. Small scratches are visible before any kind of case was put on. As the screen is not as strong as they say, do not buy unless you plan to wear cloth gloves.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loving this phone I'm techy so when I saw a foldable phone come out, I knew I would want one. I run my own business and having a phone and tablet everywhere I go was certainly doable... but now I wouldn't need to do that! I've been using this for about 30 days and have no reservations at all. So here are the bullet points: 1. Front screen is thinner than most phones out there now. However, I got used to it immediately. It fits into one hand nicely and has full function as a normal phone as well as all my aps. Larger finger peeps beware... smaller, thinner screen means smaller, well, everthing, but you can adjust font size and view size to make it easier. 2. The unfolded screen... cue the angelic music... this bad boy is awesome. A split keyboard makes it wonderful to type.. the multiple screens are amazing... i can split side to side, floating or even downsize it to the icon and tap it when I need it. Functionality is A++. 3. Speakers are great for video meetings and entertainment. Sounds great! 4. Screen protectors. They're built in. I admit, the front one is finicky. It has lifted depending on the case I use. Beware of that... but, it goes right back in place. Samsung... maybe look at that for future models.... If you have the proper case on it, you won't have an issue. I settled on the samsung flap front case with a strap on the back that you can slide your fingers in or use as a stand. Works amazing. Nothing to make the front screen protector bubble yet protective. Look, this phone is one that requires a little more TLC. its bigger and heavier than a singe screen phone... of course... so if you keep your phone in you pocket or the bottom of your purse... you may come up with things you don't like about it. Get a good case and treat it like the table/phone that it is. For me, its a valuable asset to my business. I have the business apps on it and they work seamlessly in meetings while impressing those around me with the size and ease of use. I love this phone and highly recommend it. Thanks Samsung :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2nd Attempt to Review (Since 1st was "moderated) Bought this phone when it first came out in September 2021, being amazed at the appearance of the unit. The phone worked fine, with little to no hiccups for 5 months and then "updates" (or lack thereof) caused this phone to stop working on the *a certain 5G network*. Upon presenting problem to Samsung, I was told that it was a known problem for several days and my only option is to switch carriers. THIS PHONE WAS THE ONLY PHONE HAVING PROBLEMS and when I asked for a refund of my investment, I was told that was not possible. So, after paying $2,000 for a phone, all I have left now is a worthless, expensive brick of electronics. I don't think I will ever buy another Samsung product again, after so many years of bragging and defending them, this is the worst customer service ever.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Huge Deception The phone is not able to install any eSIM on it, therefore I can not use more than one number on my phone. This is a deal breaker for me. The worst part is that an European version of the same phone can store multiples eSIMs plus two SIM Cards and use 2 at the same time. It is a shame for the US version. I will probably be returning the phone. This is just a reminder of how behind Samsung is compared to Apple in customer service, customer satisfaction and in terms of products.

Apple is getting further and further behind, my wife uses apple only due to familiarity. Samsung is head and shoulders above even the best apple technology. Simple things like closing open apps on apple are time consuming and cumbersome... Samsung 2 clicks... The open screen is dynamite for the older eyes, resolution is great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Phone I really like the concept of this phone. There is only a few problems that I would love to have addressed on the next generation. 1st one is that the cover screen is too thin. It would be great if they can make it wider. I know it's length but it's width is too small. 2nd if there could be an s pen functionality on the cover screen too. I really hate that I can't use an s pen on the cover screen. Also, on the next generation, if the s pen can be stored in the phone, it would be amazing. 3rd if the gap between the two halves of the phone was gone the phone would be better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great conversation starter So after 2 1/2 weeks of using it my overall impression is I feel I got monies worth. Screens are responsive. Biometric fingerprint security is best I have used. I question some of the default setting choices as first thing I did was change video settings on most apps to take advantage of large inner screen. They all work great but unless you fiddle with settings you won't get to enjoy all the advertised features. Battery life is as advertised and reviewed (poor) but its ok if you don't watch video's full time. Some apps require restart if flipping from front screen to fold screen. Hoping next UI update will remedy some of these issues. Overall I am very happy with it and look forward to better and better foldables.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Don't know how I have lived without it I have had my Fold 3 for less than a month but have loved every moment of it! First off I feel as though adjusting to the slimmer screen hasn't been an issue at all and that's coming from a Samsung S10+. Also being that I am 6'9 I'd say I have larger than average hands and I don't run into any issues sending text or navigating through the outer screen. Then just having that seemless ability to open the Fold and continue what your doing on the inner screen has been a great experience. I honestly don't have any negative things to say about the Fold 3 I feel like Samsung has truly hit the nail on the head with this 3rd generation. The build quality of the phone is extremely well done and makes the price of the device worth every penny in my opinion. I don't see myself ever going back to a none Folding phone hoping that Samsung will continue to build upon this technology and keep this device in there lineup!

The phone his sound and printable but the reality of it is at least much to be desired compared to my prior note 20 ultra. First off the front screen is simply too narrow. I am constantly hitting the wrong buttons while navigating an app or texting. The camera also isn't quite as fast and clear. If I had the choice I would go back to my note 20 ultra or even potentially buy a s21 ultra. Bummer that I have to live with it for 2 years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from EXCELLENT PHONE!!!! NO MST :( I couldn't be happier with my Fold 3 phone, I switched from my Note 20 Ultra and I haven't missed it until now. The realization that this phone doesn't have MST hit me today when I went to Lowes. It was a sad moment plus I had to go to my car to get my wallet so I could pay. I use Samsung Pay ALL the time, but I knew when I bought the Fold 3 that it didn't have MST. It's still something I'm definitely going to miss, but it's not a deal breaker because this phone is amazing! I do wish they would add MST back on the next model of the Fold though. Since a lot of companies have upgraded their terminals this phone will work in a lot of places using NFC. I just wanted to let Samsung know that it finally hit me today that the feature was gone. Other than that this phone is absolutely amazing! I took away 1 star in the features section only because it doesn't have MST. :(

Everthimg either gets cut off or does fill the screen. It would be nice if on the next fold generation, the cover screen was the size of a regular phone. Other than that, the z fold 3 have been my favorite phone so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Inside screen doesn't last Well, 8 months in and surprise surprise. The large screen is messing up where the crease is. Don't do it, read the reviews on the phone. The screens are going out. Don't buy one, don't fall for the trap and don't believe the many reviews that this is such a great phone. It's not! All the "good reviews" are from people who only have had their phones a short time. They offer to fix it, but you have too send it in and it's up to you to get a loaner phone while it's repaired. They say it's because it's such a premium phone. (It's not) This phone is junk compared to all of the Notes I have owned.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best phone I've ever owned!!!! I've had the phone for a week so far and I absolutely love it! The screen quality is great as well as the picture quality. I was initially surprised that it didn't come with the SD card slot, but it comes with 256 gigs of storage space which is more than enough for me. I love being able to flip it open and watch different videos, play games, etc. Just an overall great product once again from Samsung!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No better than a brick I bought this phone in Jan and liked it. Two days ago, it stopped being able to connect to t mobile service. So, I couldnt even make phone calls or get text messages, let alone use apps on it. It is no better than a brick if you dont connect it to your wireless internet. Why bother buying a phone when it cant even act as a phone? DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My first foldable smartphone As the title suggest, this is my very first foldable smartphone. I am impressed by the design of this Z Fold3. Overall, it performs well. Comparing to my previous phone, the Note20 Ultra the Z Fold3 is a bit slower but not to the point where I find it unacceptable for my purposes. The fingerprint sensor on the right side of the phone is a clever design and it is very useful I find. Great job here Samsung! The big screen that is offered when the phone is fully expanded or opened is fantastic. Watching movies in this mode is wonderful. There are still some apps that need to be enhanced to take advantage of this wide screen aspect ratio and I hope over time those apps can catch on. One thing I miss coming from the Note20 Ultra is the missing of the micro SD card slot within the SIM tray. It's missing from the Z Fold3 and I don't quite understand why Samsung decided to exclude it from this top-of-the-line smartphone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Galaxy Z Fold # This phone is a piece of Garbage. I bought it less than 1 month ago from Sprint/T-mobile and I have had nothing but problems. It drops calls, when I am speaking to someone they say my voice is breaking up. When I receive a call I cant answer it sometimes, thereby having to call the person back. It dropped me from the network saying that my phone could only be used for emergency calls as I was not connected to a network!!! After several calls to customer care I have gotten no where. Sprint blames problem on Samsung and wanted to file an insurance claim! No way when the phone is obviously a lemon.

And it's a phone when close to use the front cover screen to use but it's smart and so powerful in a form factor that benefits the users like me. Thank you Samsung, this is the future proof of foldable technologies. Way to go! I would love to see more successor for the coming years from now on with more technologies inside it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Less Than Expected for the price So I traded my Note 20 Ultra For this phone. I really regret it. The phone is quite bulky and heavy when folded. This makes it feel clumsy when trying to unfold. It's not really a phone you can easily keep in our pocket. There is a definite crease in the screen when unfolded. I have seen no improvement in picture quality. I purchased the case with the S Pen, which I thought would be useful due to the fact the pen is not stored internally, like on the Note. I dislike that as well. It ,makes for awkward for handling the phone, especially for phone calls. For this reason I purchased another case which doesn't have a spot for the pen, so I actually never use it. I notice when I use wireless charging the phone gets hot and charging is slow. I have found battery life to be about equal to what I had with the Note. I am not saying it's an awful phone but I do wish I had my not ultra instead.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointed w/Phone and Disgusted w/Customer Svc **DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE** I have been a solid Samsung supporter for years and this is the first time I've been disgusted with a product, as well as the customer service behind it. I pre-ordered the Z Fold3 and received it the day it came out. After about 3 weeks of use, the front screen protector, which I didn't even know existed, started bubbling and peeling off. Because it so easily detached from the screen, I just assumed it was some clear plastic covering that usually comes with new products. About 2 weeks after that, I removed my phone, which had a leather Samsung case on it, from my purse and the phone had a crack across the top of the front screen. The phone has never been dropped. I've read through other reviews and seen that others have had the same problem w/the screen protector, as well as how easily this $1800 phone screen cracks. It is absolutely ridiculous that such an expensive product that is supposed to have the strongest screen they've made is so easily damaged. I've contacted the customer service department and they told me that physical damage is not covered by the limited manufacturer's warranty, which is garbage considering that the damage resulted because of the poor screen protector they had applied to the phone. My only resolution is to pay the $249 deductible on my warranty, which is unacceptable after having a phone for 5 weeks that I did not directly cause damage to. I've asked to receive my old phone back and return this garbage, but of course, that is also not an option. If several people have reported the same problem, it's no longer a customer issue, but a product issue and know that we are speaking for the many others who just haven't taken the time to write a review. Samsung should really own up to its responsibility in producing such a poorly made product. This is quite disappointing!! As far as the product itself, while being able to unfold your phone and have a big screen is cool and a great conversation starter, you'll never really use it. Save your money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The quality of the center line of the inner foldin When I decided to come here to leave a comment, I saw that most of the comments on this folding phone pointed to various usage problems in the center line of the inner folding screen. At first, I thought it was just my phone that had this quality problem, but now it seems that there is a very serious quality problem in the folding center line of this Samsung foldable phone. Samsung's advertising says: The folding life of this folding phone can reach more than 100,000 times, but it seems hard to believe now. ((I have this mobile phone, this problem has only been used for 4 months)). I can be a big fan of Samsung, I own several different devices from Samsung, and I also introduced this folding phone to my friends, ((Unfortunately, unfortunately, my friend's phone also has the same type of phone. This quality issue )). Here, I hope Samsung can help us solve the inner folding problem of this phone!.

However, when the phone is unfolded, I can read it from 3 feet away without glasses. It is a very bright and clear screen. It is faster than the previous Note 20 phone, and much more usable. Having as many icons as I want on one screen unfolded is a plus. Basically, I can summarize that I am glad I purchased this to replace my Note 20 Ultra.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Totally amazed by what this phone can do! It was time for a new phone and I started my research. My granddaughter's were eager to see my new i phone 13 as I was replacing a i phone 10. After looking at the new technology out there and seeing the only thing new with the i phone 13 was a little better camera, i decided I wanted really new new tech. The Samsung Fold 3 was the new technology I was looking for. The first time I touched the Fold 3 and how in unfolded in this mammoth screen I was sold. it's not just a phone its a laptop in your hand. It's fun to buck the crowd and base your decision what technology is out the and not just by what the crowd has. The granddaughter's are totally amazed I would not buy an i phone. But hopefully this is a teaching experience for them to base your decision on what is best, not what everyone else has.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is the future!! I've had my Samsung Galaxy fold 3 5G now for three weeks, and I'm loving it! Because this is the future of smart phones. Samsung was the first one to create the phablet, and now the first one to create the foldable phone. And just like everyone was complaining about how big the first phone was, and now everyone and their mother is making them. The same will apply with the foldable phone as well. It only makes sense because it's nothing else that can be done with the current smartphones we have today. Samsung is wise enough to see the future before anyone else can, and acting on with pure vision, and action. They are forcing everyone else to follow their lead. Including apple. They have no choice but to follow Samsung and i pray that Samsung keeps making this brilliant peace of technology better and better until everyone has no choice but to get in line with the program. And then invent the next best thing. If I have anything negative to say, it would be that I hope at some point that Samsung would focus on optimization of the software so that everything would work well together across all of their devices. If they did that on top of the innovation. It would be game over for everyone else!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely dissatisfied! After having bought every top tier Samsung phone, I decide to buy the Thom Brown Edition Fold 3. This was an absolutely extremely expensive decision. Though almost every electronic device in my home and computers is Samsung, I will not support another Samsung product again!. Six days after receiving my Samsung Fold 3 I was showing it off to a friend who thought it was absolutely absurd to spend what a Thom Brown Edition costs on a phone. I tried to relay to him how Samsung was a superior product and my buying Thom Brown was my way of supporting the company, he then gladly pointed out how the case the phone came in was falling apart. I am extremely careful and thoughtful of my tech and belongings. But he was right the case was damaged. For the past 4 months I have been dealing with Samsung in regards to the countless issues. They had assured me from the beginning that they stand behind their product and would immediately take care of the issues. To this date they have not and just give me the run about. I WILL NOT BUY, RECOMMEND OR EVEN CONSIDER SAMSUNG AGAIN. Just buy an IPhone or Google Pixel and save your money, time and energy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The entertainment center in your hands I had the 1st gen fold and if I didn't break it, Id prolly still have it today. But now 2 years later I have the zfold 3 and the experience is still great. The quad akg speakers make it one of the best sounding speaker setups ive heard on a phone in awhile. The front panel is now 6.2 inch screen onstead of the baby screen of the first gen. You have water resistance now, and the bi folding screen has amazing colors. Obviously multitasking is breeze, so this is suited for podcast streaming, business work, gaming you name it. Now 2 downsides the battery life isn't great, but you have 2 think you have 2 screens now. The other downside was the unboxing. Just the phone and cable. No charger or galaxy buds. I mean the phone is 1800$! They're copying apple with eco friendly crap, but you still have to buy the wall piece and accessories so kind of an invalid statement. Overall I love the fold and I do recommend it. Just make sure its insured because anything can happen.

Have had device less than 2 months-had no drops- one day I opened it up and it made a funny noise and the inside screen had a big black line down the middle. Samsung would not repair it for less than $519 saying the LCD part is not covered under warranty. I don't understand how just opening it would have damaged it. I would understand if it had been dropped or something spilled on it, but I took really good care of it for it to quit working after less than 2 months. Would not recommend. I have always bought Samsung up until this point but probably never will after this one. Really crappy customer service and quality of phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Multi-Purpose Master I purchased this phone a few months back because I was curious to see how the foldables were coming along. I only decided to make the jump when I saw Samsung had applied their water resistance to it. I have loved using this device every single day. It's a game changer for sure, I'll say. I enjoy taking it out to take a note or taking it out to doodle when I'm bored. The stylus that you buy separately works very well. I'm impressed by the lack of lag despite not even having a battery. I will admit the outter display is VERY narrow and useless in most scenarios. What it IS good for is quick stuff like opening text msgs and checking those, reading emails briefly, making a call and that's really about it. Really just the quick stuff. The more elaborate tasks like texting, watching a video, drawing, games, or any sort of productivity app would be handled by the larger screen. I'd say this isn't perfect but it's definitely a solid 4 across the board. There's still some things I think they need to improve upon like the camera. I'm not a photographer so it doesn't affect me but many people who buy this that love cameras are going to be sad. Hopefully the Fold 4 has a good camera.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So much more than a SmartPhone Bought this phone to be able to have a smartphone for work that feels and operates like a tablet that doesn't need a keyboard. Here is where Samsung totally knocked this design out the ballpark: 1) The taller height of this smartphone vs. it competitors who's designs are wider is how this phone truly shines where the majority of the people using this phone will probably 80% percent of the time will not be using the dual screen display. Yes the phone is a bit bulkier but after a few weeks of use, the weight becomes insignificant and the verticle orientation of the screen is far more comfortable to hold than its wider designed counterparts. Typing on the smaller keyboard on the outside screen does require a bit of practice and skill but adapting to it is marginal comparable to all that the phone is designed to do. 2) I run Microsoft Teams on this phone viewing software demos and attending Teams meeting, Coupled with the 5G ultra wideband network, this phone is rock solid. 3) There is no smartphone that couples the practicality of a small tablet with the usability of a mobile phone like even remotely compares. It is a bit expensive: some would say yes but if you're buying this phone to couple it with work related follow-up you'll easily be able to justify the cost. This is arguably the best smart phone I have purchased since the Motorola Z2 Force with it stealth design and impervious Shatterproof design. The design alone is incomparable to anything else in the market of smartphones. A purchase well worth it. Love the phantom green color and the best case for it has been the Samsung Silicon Smartphone case which is extremely tacit and more comfortable to hold than leather. Job well done Samsung.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Galaxy Z Fold 3 is nothing more than a novelty. This phone was cool to show off for about a month. The fact that the fold screen hasn't been optimized to refit many apps was a surprise being it's 3rd generation. The fold screen began to come apart in the center of the fold after 4 months. It was nice to watch videos on but that's about it. My advice for anyone who wants it: Don't. Just get an s22 ultra, or a tablet if you want the screen size.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Useful Phone I didn't know I would need After having the Galaxy Z Fold 3 for over a month, I have really enjoyed using on to go while commuting to school, and I didn't really think I would be using the dual screen as much as I do. Just the simple ease to open the phone and use a chrome browser with tabs feels like I am hold a small laptop within my pocket where I can just use as a phone whenever I need to and use it as a small tablet whenever it requires a more complex task. I would say though that the cameras are a bit lower quality for a phone that costs over $1,500 and they could have been better, and the overall ease to unfold the phone is a bit hard due to the hinge being more stiffer, but I would say that the phone is a really unique invention and I am proud to show it off to people. The overall performance is actually really good, as I am able to run multiple apps and games at once without having it slow down. The battery life though is a bit bad, especially when you use the phone as a tablet (unfolded) as I was only get around 7 hours of standard use throughout the day and around 4 hours with extensive use (playing two games at once), which I can understand considering that you are using two phone screens at once basically. When not unfolded, I would get around 15 to 18 hours of battery life during the day with standard use. However, at standby, it seems as though the battery doesn't drain that quickly, so I would say that the battery life really depends on how much you use it. The front facing camera on the tablet screen is bad, but it is a new technology feature, so it's somewhat acceptable. The rear cameras could be better, especially since the S21 cameras are much better, but they are still pretty good. The front facing camera from the front screen is much better then the tablet screen, but could also have been improved. The overall quality of the screens and displays are actually one of the best that I have even seen on a phone as both screens have the 120hz display with the true OLED display to give a nice look to them. The folded screen itself has greatly improved from the last two Galaxy Folds, and I actually really like the fact that I can use the S Pen to draw or write down quick notes whenever I need to. Overall I actually like use the phone and I cannot wait to see how Samsung will improve upon the upcoming Folds and Filps.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Phone I switched from the IPhone 13 Pro Max to the Z Fold 3 and I have loved it every since! I don't usually leave reviews but I see all the bad reviews for this device and I have never experienced cracked screens, or any other issues with the screen or the device. I was so impressed with the device I bought two a green and a silver one just because I love the phone so much and if any thing ever happened to one phone I would just switched the sim card. I am also very hard on my phones. I have dropped my Zfold 3 on my concrete garage floor and it slid across the concrete floor, dropped it down the stairs and my device has never broken or hardly scratched. I can't wait to see what the Fold 4 will look like. It would be nice to get the spen integrated into the phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Phone does not connect to cellular data. The Android 12 update has rendered my expensive phone useless as the phone will not hold a cellular data connection. I have to be on wifi to make and receive calls/texts. I received another software update on 2-17-2022 that was supposed to fix the data issue but it did not. Does Samsung even test the software updates before they push them out to your phone and force you to install it? This is highly unacceptable for any phone, especially one that cost as much as this one. Samsung will leave you high and dry if you call in acting like they dont know about the issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ambitious and Convenient Device I've had it for less than a month. Easy to handle. Love how you can play with the main camera for selfies. The camera quality is good but I expected something more comparable to an ultra device in this feature given the price and type of phone. I like the fact that is water resistant but it lets you down not being dust resistant. Love the fact that lots of applications work kind of on PC mode when it's opened. It's very elegant and calls attention. Watching videos is a fun experience and connecting a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard makes you more productive with the big screen and Microsoft Office products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Do not recommend Have had phone for 2 months and the outside screen stopped working. No dents, scratches or cracks on the phone. I am told it's covered under Samsung warranty so I go to BestBuy and U Break I Fix for repair and they are unable to repair screen due to backorder of replacement screens (so obviously a a common issue) my only other option is to send it back with a 5-7 business day turnaround time, excluding shipping. Samsung will not send a loaner or replacement phone and expect me to go 2 weeks without a phone (I have a family, drive around frequently, and use my phone for work so not really a reasonable situation). Very disappointed in the phone and Samsung customer service. Also, screen calibration from inside to outside is not correct for many apps and you cannot see everything as it goes off the screen edges. Very frustrating.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Phone at the start but I have suggestions Purchased brand new back in 2021 when it first came out. It was a dream when I got love it for the huge inside screen which i tired not to use much unless i was watching a video or reading something. About 3 to 4 months later. I developed black drip like situation on the insdie screen. That then a black bold line where hte fold is developed. Soon after that it spreaded and then the touch part of the screen on the complete right side became unresponsive. How the screen is almost completely back. I also notice the the screen seems pudgey. I think product is a cool idea and worth exploring however being this is the bleeding edge I think phone/screen replacement should be built into the warranty of the phone. Maybe 2 year warranty and protection. INo way a 19 hundred dollar phone should have nothing like this. The customer service on the product is why i gave fair rating. Other than that the hardware is cool should been on par with the S21 series if im not mistaken.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Phone My phone is not unlocked, I got it through AT&T. They made me an offer I could not refuse. I have had the phone a couple weeks now and so far so good. A few things to note: Not all apps take advantage of the features of the Fold3; When I lay it on a flat surface while folded, it wobbles, this is kind of annoying; I have not found a case for it I like, may have to go to the store or Best Buy to see what they have to offer; It does not have a headphone jack, luckily I have Samsung Buds that work pretty good; You can not add a memory card like I could with my S10, hopefully this won't be a problem; When I go for my walk/run, the Fold3 lowers the volume by itself while it is in my pocket, I have to put it in my back pocked screen facing out to stop this; The Fold3 is heavier, longer, thicker, and narrower than my old S10, just things I noticed; The phone does not fit well in my existing wireless charger (it is thicker than my old phone) but it does charge in the closed and open position. The good things; I like the big screen when you open it although some apps can't automatically adjust the size; The power button no longer sticks out so I tend to press it accidently less; the volume is on the other side of the phone, taking a little while to get used to it but that is OK; Apps and most data transferred quickly; Camera seems to be good; sound quality is good; so far battery life is good (depends on how much I use it unfolded); the 5G seems faster (even in my poor coverage area); I like the features so far and look forward to more apps taking advantage of them.

Pros: a business communication device with strong signal and crisp clear sound; small enough for easy holding when fold and when unfold big enough for my client to easily sign documents right on the phone screen; an entertainment hub with surrounding stereo speakers, cinema like videos at 5G speed streaming...and Cons: no audio jack; no SD card slot, and quite heavy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not a great phone I have upgraded from the fold 2 a couple of months ago and I regret upgrading my phone. The fold 3 is so glitchy. The screen freezes constantly. The phone restarts by itself. There is no menu option to do a screenshot. Finding a wallet case for this phone is a challenge because the ones that are made does not hold your phone securely. Phone does not come with an s pen or a way to hold it. U have to purchase them both separately. Phone is more bulkier that fold 2. I will not be upgrading the fold again. In fact, I will trade this in for something else.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The screens are so clear. I purchased the Z fold 3 a month ago. I put the in a Samsung case that covers the outside screen and provides some drop protection. The phone is quick and responsive. The folding cover for the outside screen is comfortable to hold and easy to open. The case with an S pen to use with the inside folding screen. It works well. A complaint I have with the Z Fold is the hinge to open the fold is pretty stiff and have to use my finger nail to pry it open. But if it were not stiff it might flop open to easily. I think the fold better and more usable than my old S8. The fold is more comfortable to use than the S8.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the idea but wish I kept my Note 9 I have only had this phone for 2 months. I purchased the phone so i could have a bigger screen to read since I am in school. The folded screen is much smaller than I would like but I enjoy the open screen. The phone runs hot- I dont think a brand new phone should have these issues. Of course tech will give you every excuse not to replace it and just consider the phone defective if it is not the norm with this model. I now have intermittent issues with the front screen turning pink or not turning on at all. Tech still doesnt want to replace it and i would have to send the phone back without having something to use since I traded in my previous phone in. The case for this phone is only leather in the back which I don't understand. I had to send the case back due to the corner beign cracked. The company wouldn't send out a replacement until I sent the other one back which caused me to not have a case to protect my phone. I was transferred 4 times just to speak with someone regarding that. The ear buds are great for listening however people have a difficult time hearing me at times. Yes, I cleaned them and made sure there is not debris. I have to switch back to my phone which defeats the purpose. Of course i sent a message and we go through all of the trouble shooting which leads to nowhere. I swear by Samsung but this entire situation is now causing me to take a second look at my decisions. Also, the phone is so slippery that you must have a case on it. I would expect better service and products for the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice phone Everything is good but when it comes to screen protector they don't work right because of the fold. Samsung needs to work on the screen protector so it doesn't crinkle in the middle, it affects the full view. The phone works as should. Also the cases for this phone doesn't protect the screens.. I don't see the $1799 price tag as being reasonable for this phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Total Letdown I waited for a bit to write my review, and I'm glad I did. Out of the box, the phone was great. The fold is a great ice breaker/conversation piece. That's where it ends. The screen sensitivity seems to constantly change on both screens. I had no hardware/software issues with the phone at first as well. Now, anything Bluetooth has been rendered useless. From my Galaxy Buds Pro, to my Galaxy watch, to the touchscreen in my car. I honestly want to take a hammer to this piece of garbage. In all, I've never been so disappointed by a phone. Get the 22 Ultra, or even the 21 Ultra. I never had any issues with my 21 Ultra. This paperweight is plagued with issues. Buyer beware!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good phone, bad formatting Ive been daily driving the phone for a few months now. As someone who had the original Z Flip, I love the tech and the compact design of all the Z phones. My biggest grip with the Fold is formatting. Not many apps are optimized for this phone which leaves them cut off on the outside screen and too wide or 4:3 ratioed centered in the folding screen. This is frustrating to have happen and almost makes me want to swap back to the Z Flip just so i dont have these awful aspect ratios on Facebook and Instagram. These are to commonly used to have these problems still.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Ok, So I've had the Fold 3 for 2 months and can't put it down. I've always been a fan of the Galaxy Note's ever since they hit the market and have always had one. My trade-in was a Note 10 plus. But I can say now that this is my new favorite Phone. Watching movies, playing games or scrolling through FB this phone rocks. I'm not that type of reviewer that can speak all the technical specs about the phone but its fast and smooth. The battery could be better and the camera is way below my Note 10+ but its not completely awful. I enjoy this phone and believe it was worth the money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Failure of internal screen protector I purchased this device when it was first released. In the first three months I started noticing the centerfold had started lifting on the screen protector. occasionally I would push it down with my thumb to make sure it would adhere back to the main screen. out of nowhere one day when I open my phone, I heard a loud pop and suddenly, I had bubbles under my screen. I'm giving this a one star based off how Samsung support does not take care of their phone owners. for features I rate it four stars, it has some modest features that stand out from other phones. performance also gets four stars that goes without saying it's quick and unique the multiprocessing gets what I want it to get done. design one star the engineers that built this if they were truly testing these phones on a day-to-day scenario, they would have caught this design flaw and rectified it before mass producing. value one star if you pay over $1700 for a device this thing better outlast my refrigerator! Not even one complete year and failure.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from First Foldable, I am Impressed I have been using the fold 3 for about a month now and so far I am impressed. This is my first foldable device and I was quite skeptical at first, but with a lot of research I finally decided to get one. Yes, the price the is quite steep but the way I convinced myself was the following: 1. This is bleeding edge technology 2. When I tried it at the t-mobile store it felt very sturdy and premium 3. You are technically paying for 2 extra screens, one extra camera and an extra hinge and almost double the size compared to a normal high end phone 4. I use my phone a lot more than any other devices that I own even compared to my gaming computer 5. I wanted a device that can actually offer me more when I need it, specifically more screen real-estate 6. It is really cool So far I don't really have any bad things to say about the device. I know it sounds weird but compared to the pixel 4 that I was using before this, there isn't anything that I miss or anything that isn't working in the fold compared to my old pixel. I will have test the camera out more before I can say whether it is comparable to the pixel. Below are a bunch of little things that was surprising to me when using the device: 1. You don't notice the crease at all and even when you do, it actually doesn't bother you at all 2. The foldable screen actually feels similar to the glass screen on the outside in terms of sturdiness. Like when I pressed on the screen with my fingers I can barely notice the difference 3. The large screen is great for gaming and reading and watching stuff, once you try the big screen you cant really go back. Watching Netflix on the plane with such a big screen is truly a different experience. 4. Samsung's software really makes it a pleasure to use with foldable 5. Using the keyboard when the phone is unfolded feels surprisingly very intuitive Overall I think if you take care of the phone, you can definitely get your moneys worth in terms of usage, with this device.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tablet and phone in one portable unit I got the z fold 3 as part of the z fold 3 ecosystem bundle. I came from an s10+ and jumped until the full ecosystem upgrade. It really is an amazing piece of engineering to create an amazing screen that can fold into a smaller phone. It was a big upgrade going from an s10+ to the z fold 3, so if you are coming from a similar phone, it's worth the upgrade. If you're currently using an s21, note, older fold, or later iPhone model, the you have more things to consider. Some reviewers complain about the battery life. I'm getting around 5 hours Screen On Time. I'm sure I can increase that more but I'm still in my second week of usage and I hadn't really turned much off yet. I'm mostly working from home so it's not an issue to charge if I need to. Ideally the battery will improve with optimization patches but it works great for me. As I stop playing with it non-stop and go to every day usage, I'm sure the battery will be fine. There is also contention about the cameras. I haven't had time to compare the cameras but coming from an s10+, the cameras are fine. Cameras on phones have come a long way and the fact that I don't have to lug around my DSLR is a convenience I've appreciated for a while now. If picture quality is important to you, then you'll have to weigh that with your current phone. You'll hear people on both sides of the argument, but in my opinion I'm fine with the cameras especially with the form factor and decrease in price from the previous model. Overall I'm happy with my fold. It's a huge upgrade from the s10+ and I can't stop playing with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loved the phone, lasted about 5 months Got the phone after the first gen issues were found and they supposedly addressed them. I do not know what issues they were or how they fixed them. After about 4 months what appeared to be a scratch showed up in the middle of the fold. It began to grown and was not a scratch but a crack that was getting worse pretty quick. I had no issues returning it as the others did, it did cost me 5 bucks to exchange which I plan to address with T-Mobile. Great phone, needs more testing and in my opinion, it might last longer with a less acute fold of the screen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Why not 5 ? So i finally jumped from Apple to Samsung thanks to this beautiful fold and do far one week in i am pleased. But for the love of God samsung, $1800 , shouldn't this phone have had the best camera option for a flagship ? And I'm not even talking about the under display camera, that one i would probably only use for vid calls but that main camera just sucks compared to the iPhone 12 pro max or the s21 ultra . Other than the camera issue, you've made me not wanna go back to a regular phone again

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love This Phone! Regardless of reviews. I was very hesitant on buying this phone after reading the reviews and after having the phone for 2 months thus far I still don't regret my purchase. I traded my Galaxy note 10+ for this phone and happy. MY PROS: 1-Very universal you don't need a tablet really if you have this phone. 2-Multiple screens you can customize 4 different wallpapers if you would like. 3-You can customize pictures for each individual contact which is cool! 4-Screen is very fast and sensitive to touch. 5-Having the small screen when having quick use is great I like being able to quickly glance. 6-Fits in your hand nicely, I hold with confidence and feel as I have a good grip when carrying phone. 7-The camera is suss! I love it seems better then my husbands I-phone to be honest. The camera is best when open and taking pictures seems to have better quality. 8-The screen is great for gaming and watching videos. MY CONS!! ****--->1- I HATE THE BUILT IN SCREEN PROTECTOR! I am a OCD freak okay? On the regular Im used to replacing my screen protecter twice a year as I hate tiny marks. I have 2 superficial scratches on the front screen because of just holding my phone and my wedding ring touching it and one from just holding my keys in the same hand as my phone. I can't even put this into my pocket, I must be very extremely careful! I don't see why they thought having a screen protecter already on it was a good idea. HUGE con for me! I haven't had issues of the protecter coming off the sides as of yet. But if your rough with your phones and unable to baby it as I do, think about it or get the front protector case. 2-The screen is a dust magnet as reviewed. 3-I am bummed that most stylists aren't able to be used as I saw they can ruin the screen. the stylists I've seen that are approved are very expensive and I am worried it will ruin the phone, so haven't bought as of yet. 4-Battery life last longer when using the front screen but the fullscreen is a battery drainer! 5-When holding the big screen, it's a bit awkward to hold and I have almost dropped it on my face while holding it and my arms get tired. REVIEWS I SAW & My Experience: 1-I saw that people had issues with their trade-ins and or getting a discount, for me I was sure too save the receipt when dropping off at the store and made sure to cut the paper in half and include the portion needed inside the box as well as save my copy. (I did take pictures of the boxing process just incase I needed proof later.) I got an email saying they received it, then an email saying they confirmed they had my phone and they would let me know if it was approved, then an email saying they would apply the whole discount and I was good. 2-There is a crease where the phone folds on inside, I knew this was going to be there when I got the phone so to me this wasn't a con. I am very careful not to touch the crease as much as possible and do baby it as I saw reviews of people loosing the screen in the middle to black lines. (I will update my review if this changes but thus far its great no issues) 3-It IS MOST DEFIANTLY a dust magnet as reviewed, any loose particles around gravitate to it I am constantly wiping it off. 4-The battery doesn't compare to my galaxy note 10+ It does wear battery down significantly. However: I sprung for the $50 wireless charger for this phone and use that in my car mount and I haven't had it die on me I just keep topped off when a charger is nearby. 5-I saw reviews that the front screen is hard to type? I personally use the Google keyboard in settings and it works pretty well when typing. I am a clumsy typer as is and don't notice much of a difference. I suppose if you had "Phaty" Fingers it could be tricky to type. But the big screen is great. 5-I saw reviews of the screen protector it came with peeling up, I haven't noticed this myself YET but it is very extremely sensitive! and will ding at the smaller pressure. 6-I saw reviews off connection issues with wired chargers? for me I got a wireless charger included with my phone so I don't use a chord very often. BUT when I do use a chord it I have no issues and try to be careful when plugging in to be extra careful. I'm sure theres other reviewed comments I should include but can't remember anymore off hand and my review is already too long lol. biggest love is the universal aspect of this phone and my cons is the built in screen protector I wish the company would replace the protector for free or stop putting one on when selling it, shouldn't be a lifetime use thing. I will update my review if anything changes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Big phone and will not pair with Gear watches Of all the Samsung phones this phone needs a Gear watch to check your incoming calls, texts and emails. It is too big to pull out of your pocket to check who is trying to reach you all the time. Since updating from a Note 10 5g which worked fine with the Gear manager app..this phone will not work with the Gear manager app. Three nice Samsung Gear watches are now useless and Samsung becomes just like Apple. No help. The handset is nicely built but it is going back for a refund.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great phone with a lot of fantastic features but If you are willing to spend a good amount of money for a cutting edge phone. This is it!! The phone has great features but in my opinion lacks in two key areas. 1. Storage (No Micro SD card slot to expand memory.) 2. Battery needs to be improved. If you are willing to overlook those two aspects, you are in for an experience that no other phone can give you (sorry Apple).

I would like to say that I always been a Samsung phones person, but I never had such a BAD experience. The speakers are not working at all after 4 months. I will not recommend NOBODY to get these piece of trash phone. Only if you don't mind wasting your money then you can go ahead and buy it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No problem switching over from Iphone I decided to take a leap of faith and switched over from iPhone to Android system. The new Samsung design caught my attention. I uploaded all my photos and information for backup into Google photos and other storage app and then purchased the Samsung phone. My old iphone was old and did not amount to any trade in value so I opted for payment plans with Verizon. I opened the Verizon credit card for extra savings since it gives 4% back on gas and grocery purchases as well as 3% back on restaurants. I bought the wireless charger and special case that also included the pen. With verizon, I received deep discounts with the Samsung earbuds pro. I am happy to say these accessories enhance my user experience with this new phone. The screen is crystal clear. The photos are of high quality and the earbuds work very well when I am attending meetings virtually or streaming music. The case was the perfect fit and I use the pen quite a bit. The downsides: it's quite bulky when folded and it bit challenging when I try to pry it open without risking my nails scratching the side Overall, I would recommend this to everyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It's ok I bought this phone cyber monday figured ill give it a shot. The phone is decent operating but the majority of games arnt optimized for it, getting repairs is a nightmare repair shops woulnt touch these and just the outer front screen is ridiculously over priced. Definitely don't recommend this phone for anyone whom has children and openly give their kids their phones. The additional pen only works on the inside screen. The battery doesn't handle long game sessions. I'd still recommend the note series over the fold

The cracks are very small but I'm sure will grow. The attached picture is zoomed in on my blank screen and you are seeing the reflection of the phone I used to take the picture. Prior to this event I would have given this a 5+ because I absolutely love the phone and features.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Upgraded Note 20 to get something new. Don't like. I'm a long time Note user and never even look at other phone to get each year. I'm just excited for the new Note and the Note only. I have had all the Note Series starting with the Note 2. Ii was upset you did dnt release a Note 21. I only upgraded my Note 20 Ultra + 5G just for something new and I don't like it! It's not a Note 20 replacement. The dip in the middle make its impossible to draw right. I don't like that there is no bluetooth features on the S Pen and if we want bluetooth features we have to get the S Pen Pro which has to be manually changed and worse its bigger and fatter then the regular stylus so it won't fit in a S Pen holder on a case. The only thing it's ok for is watching Youtube videos or movies and even that because of the weird aspect ratio there is a lot of apps that aren't designed for it and aren't full screen and is a lot of unused screen real-estate. Also with how big this phone is we get smaller battery then the S 21, there is no SD card slot, and we get crappy camera, no built in S Pen, and skinnier phone when closed? This is such a downgrade and is not the same or even close to the Note 20. If you would of had the width of a regular Note or S series when closed it would make it wider when opened so a better aspect ratio. You say you had the highest number pre orders on this phone ever but the reason why is because you didn't release the Note 21. If it was because of chip shortages you should of waited to release the Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 early next year with the S 22 and released the Note 22 instead this year. As soon as the Note 22 Ultra is released in January with the S22 I'm immediately switching back and I hope you never discontinue the Note Series for us loyal fans. I wouldnt even be happy if you got ride of the Note Series and put a S Pen built into the phone on the Z Fold 4 because I don't want a foldable phone. I just want my Note Phone. Also please PLEASE don't get rid of the SD Card slot on the Note 22 Ultra. I was happy that it was at least included in the Note 20 Ultra at least. We have so many loyal fans of the Note Series that it should never be scrapped. Would I recommend this phone to someone that has a Note phone? Nope never! If your not a note a note user and want a phone and a tablet then this may work for you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Covers all use case of Business and Entertainment Seriously it's the ultimate device worth every penny. I've been using it almost for a year. Business uses: * Review - With the big screen, I can review documents and do software code review with the big screen. Of course, I can do that with tablets, but this one is foldable, so I can put it in my pocket. Whenever I have time, I can review something serious. * Sign - I can sign off with my s-pen right away whenever someone wants me to sign the PDF. * Video calls face to face - Samsung phones holds its position when I partially fold it. I can easily adjust angle for video calls wherever I am at. * Video calls presentation or screen sharing - The inner big screen is big enough to see presentation or screen shares. That means, you don't need to carry laptops with you, but fold phone in your pocket. * Desktop use - Just connect this phone to a big monitor with USB-C. I have my keyboard and mouse connected to the monitor already, I can just use Desktop UI with Samsung Dex. I can do word processing, writing software code, Slack, and so on. There are laptops that work with Samsung Dex, too. * Multi-tasking - The big inner screen and Samsing's NavStar in Good Lock makes it very easy to multi-task. I know multi-tasking isn't productive, but it really helps when you can open a document or reference page on one side and write on the other side. You won't need to switch apps back and forth. It gives me freedom and mobility. Entertainment/Social: * Big screen for video, photos and web browsing - Great for yourself and also great to show something to someone next to you. * Sound - The sound quality is great. I love watching YouTube with this phone whenever I have spare time. * Game - Great on the big screen, but I'm not a serious mobile gamer. I could play game on one side of the screen and do multi-task whenever I have to wait for the ads. * Camera - You can fold half way to take a stable photo. You may demo and naturally take selfie with attractive folks when they are curious about your phone. Actually Z Flip works better in this purpose. Final thoughts: Is it expensive? Maybe. But if you can more productive than the price you pay, it's worth the money. Battery life needs some improvement, and I heard that Fold 4 is better with the battery life.

Just download the manual on your phone. The screen is awesome when you open it and I have no fear of the phone breaking, just protect the screens. Still learning about the camera and trying to make better pictures for clarity, alot to learn. The battery seems fine and lasts me 2 days maybe alittle less depending on use. That seems to be a big complaint with everyone. If that is the only issue, I can definitely handle that for sure!!!! Overall, this phone is awesome and I love it and the green color. Well worth the money and esp if you get the $1000 incentive :) Go for it, you will not be sorry!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from "I Fold!" While the thought of having a foldable phone (and/or bigger screen) is a novel idea, it's definitely less attractive or functional in practice! This is quite literally an overprices BRICK (very weighty & bulky when folded / closed). CONS: Despite Bluetooth connectivity, there's no audio jack! No expandable memory. The front screen is tiny & sacrificed for a larger, unfolding screen -- not good in terms of using this as a usual cell phone if you have to open it up to get a Full Screen look at the home screen. The buttons / icons are also super TINY unless you enlarge them and have it take-up real estate. The Biometric scan is in a cumbersome location (as opposed to the backside of the phone), it also doesn't help that it's also the ON button to view the front screen. The volume is incredibly low and unimpressive. PROS: I haven't found any yet. (Strongly considering going back to old 9S+; it may have been slightly outdated, but it was far more comfortable, functional, user friendly. 100% regret getting this horrible "upgrade".

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Terrible phone I bought this phone in August. 9 months later, a large black ink strip appeared down the center of the screen right along the hinge and the right side of the screen became unresponsive. Took it to a Samsung certified repair shop and they said that they've seen this issue hundreds of times in the last year since release and they couldn't do anything about it. They recommended getting rid of the phone as soon as possible. Ended up trading the phone in for the s22 ultra. DO NOT GET THIS PHONE unless you want to deal with a ton of issues. I thought it was the best phone until this happened. Severely disappointed Samsung considering I spent $2000 for this phone

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I want to like this phone Got my original phone back in June with Verizon. I loved the note phones because of the stylus but not a fan of the s22 ultra. My work area has poor cell services and the z fold 3 seems to amplify that. Very poor phone reception, even for texting. Phone has kicked itself off network multiple times where I have to restart it. Did all the troubleshooting with Verizon and they sent a replacement. Same problems with my "new" phone. I like the capabilities of this phone but sadly disappointed as I never had these issues with my older note phones. I'm still not sure if issues are phone or service provider issues. I guess newer and more expensive is not better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Phone, but NO eSIM ???? I got my unit today, and it lasted 6 hrs, and I have requested to return the unit. I have a Note 20 5G Ultra that I bought last September, and by then, although the eSIM was not activated, they told me it was eSIM ready and that they were to activate the eSIM via an Update. That Update came in through the Upgrade from Android 11 to Android 12, and sure enough, it was, and I have it activated on my AT&T line and use the Physical SIM for another carrier. The Fold 3 came with Andriod 11 and no eSIM listed, but it was ready for the Andriod 12 upgrade. I upgraded the OS to Andriod 12, just like my Note, and still, SIM Manager enabled. After a 2 hr call with Tech Support, I was able to get a hold of a "subject matter expert" who confirmed to me that unlocked Fold 3 5G units do not have an eSIM built-in, which I found laughable. They went on to say that it did not show to have one on the device and that Only "Carrier Locked" Units have eSIM capability, which again makes no sense at all. I figured there is no need to spend $2000.00 on the phone with questionable performance with the folding screen and functionality issues; the eSIM is a deal-breaker. Other than that, the phone looks fantastic, feels expensive, and I love the display clarity, but I will not trade my Note for this unit unless they make eSIM available for the unlocked versions. The S pen is bulky compared to the Note's S Pen. It's a shame that it was not built-in. So, will I get one, I'm not sure now, as It does not give me that kick feeling, maybe on the next release, and it better have eSIM enabled.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 1.5 Stars This phone is the most expensive on the market. At that price you would demand no sacrifices. With this phone you will have to make sacrifices though, like with the battery, do NOT expect to watch youtube, or videos. You will have to limit your time on that. You will have to limit your time playing games, because the phone simple dies too quickly. The camera though, that is a HUGE sacrifice, I took a picture of my pugs and attached it, it was just impossible to get them to look crisp, or not blury. I tried factory reset, updates, and nothing helped. I have other gripes, like how hard the front screen is to use with Android 11 gestures with ANY case. But my main gripe was how at 4pm with little to no use would be dead, and the pictures are a HUGE step back. My advice, check out my pictures, and get a different phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Overall a good phone I have to disagree with some of the other reviews. I really do enjoy having this phone. It has a lot of cool features and I love using it in full screen mode. The phone is very durable. Sound quality is very good talking and watching videos. I've dropped more times than I'd like to admit and the screen and outside casing is fine. Now for the cons - it takes some time getting used to the slim size when closed, same with the weight of the phone. Also the battery life is significantly shortened when using the phone fully opened. Finally when taking pictures the color quality needs improvement. Colors are not as vivid. Overall I think this is a phone for someone who likes something different....unique. It still turns heads when I unfold my phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Both screens failed In a year. First, the phone is great when it is working. It is the perfect little e-reader. However, in less than a year both the inner screen and outer screen have failed. The inner screen started to delaminate from the phone near the top as if some glue came undone. Then just in the last few days the front screen's touch sensor has nearly completely died. If it wasn't for the inner screen it would be completely un-useable at this point. For the price, it is not worth it at all. Even if both screens are covered by the warranty I have zero faith in this phones longevity. I have stuck with Samsung since the S5 but the fold 3 has me really considering something else. Note: these are hardware defects I am seeing, I take rather good care of my phones, my S5 still has the flap that covers the charging port. I almost wish the damage was my fault so I could just get this one replace at BestBuy through their protection plan I have.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Goodbye apple hello Samsung So I purchased the phone about 2 weeks now and so far I happy my only issue is finding a quality case for the phone the Samsung case has gotten bad reviews. I try to be very careful handling the phone in fear of dropping it but if I can get a good quality case to protect the phone I be 5 star happy I think it should come free with the 1800 price I paid for it. So if Samsung is listening send ma a case and I will drop my apple iPhone 12. Literally. No pun intended but I may totally switch back to my Samsung phone the phone is a eye catching device I always get questions asking me wow what type of phone is that. Most people are concerned with the crease in the middle but I only see one because of my screen protector but I love the phone. Only flaw camera is not as high quality as my s20 ultra with its price it should have a top quality camera and the battery is decent my s20 I don’t hav to charge for 2 days luckily I have 2 phone so this is not my primary phone

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Been using it everyday, no issues, great phone I have been using the Z Fold 3 since introduction and I love it !!! I don't want to go back to normal phones. Despite some other reviews, I had no issues with the screens, they have been working fine. I happen to drop it few times but I never had issues. People might say also that the phone is thick when folded but it is narrower than usual phones so it is easier to hold with one hand so it is not an issue for me. It's a bit expensive but I recommend this phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just Awesome I've been using this phone since it launched. It's awesome. Previous I was using a Note 8 for a few years. I love the folding tech. The large screen is amazing. It feels like a cheat code for a phone. When folded, it's thinner than a traditional phone but its length is long enough to use the external screen like a standalone phone. What could be better? It's a little slippery. I've had to get a case. Ended up with the Samsung Silicone case. I'd also recommend the case. The under screen camera is pretty terrible, but honestly I would never use it to begin with so it doesn't bother me.

Don't get me wrong if you are going to just make phone calls or text any other Samsung phone will suffice. If you want a new and exciting never had before experience Z. All day.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simply Can't get Enough of this phone I traded in 3 devices for this. Always had too many devices and now I need basically just this one. The battery lasted long through my foolishness and my work (Comixology, outlook, blah blah blah). Drawing on it is pretty nice. It rejects the palm and touch seamlessly. Durability: I dropped it on a gravel lot with the case that has the pen. The protective covering still looks great, but I don't recommend that cover since the flap flew open on the way down. Still, I see nothing wrong on the outer screen. So, this is a lot more durable than it looks. It is fast. There were sometimes when I had to restart an app because the touch stopped responding, but, it's kinda easy to touch some part of the screen, or fingerprint reader which has options, so, I don't assume it's a bug. But since the learning has finished, nothing has had to be rebooted. Also, the phone was a straight smartwitch from my Note 20 Ultra, so, that has always had copying issues, which I'll neglect. I'm no longer great at taking photos. I haven't finagled with the pro mode. The auto mode is pretty darn good. Overall, wish this were cheaper or at least wish they used its price to incentivize app developers. If they did, the value would be rated higher. It's still considered a tablet. The way they setup dex on this is disappointing since it requires a monitor or PC still. I'd like to have it the way it's set up on the S7 since it's a "tablet". So, not quite worth the price on that note.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The most technologically advanced phone Its almost perfect. Ive owned iphones, and galaxy notes, but this is amazing. You wont regret buying it. Its a 5 star phone for me. Best of all is the screen. Nothing else comes close except for an actual iPad. The 3 improvments id ask for are... 1 - Put the S21 Ultra camera or better here and blow everyones mind *BTW the cameras are better than iphone 12 pro.max. 2 - We need a place to put the S Pen inside the phone 3 - Make the device cover screen a little wider Lowering the price to 1350 wont hurt too, but i understand the price. If you grant my wishes above, ill keep paying you $$$ you want. Otherwise. It is still the best folding tablet that turns into a phone. Nothing even comes close.

My previous phones were a Note 9 and the S21 Ultra 5g and neither could provide what this phone can.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing & Solid Phone! I also have owned the Z Fold2 so this isn't my first Foldable experience. Although there isn't any huge improvements from the Z Fold2, I still will say that it is an excellent device. My first gripe is that the S Pen cannot be housed in the unit itself. I personally feel like they could've taken a little more time on the phone and made that a possibility because it is a bit inconvenient to have to travel with the pen separate from the phone itself. I personally just keep the pen at home to lessen the chance of losing or misplacing the pen. My second gripe is the camera(s). I'm not quite sure why they decided to stick with the standard 12:12:12 MP, and why they didn't upgrade this camera set to match the Note20 Ultra. All in all, the phone feels extremely durable (even more durable than the Z Fold2, which I didn't have any issues with), it feels a smidge lighter and it is a smidge thinner. I definitely would recommend this phone!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Welcome to the future I considered the Fold 2 last year, but because of durability concerns I ended up getting the Note 20 Ultra. I really liked the Note 20 Ultra, but I was still longing for the fold. Now that I've had the Fold 3 for a week I can't imagine going back to a traditional form factor. I love flex mode, I love the split keyboard, I love everything about it except for it's cameras and even those are fine. I just miss the zoom from the Note 20 Ultra.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A step in the right direction! I honestly wasn't sure if I'd like this phone. I originally had the note 10 before switching to the z fold 2. Then I ultimately switched to the z fold 3. I love the screens personally. I often find myself multitasking and using the multiple screens all at once. I love the camera which is amazing with Samsung. I don't even mind the narrow front screen. It Definitely takes some getting used to. Probably not ideal for someone with fat fingers. The battery life is awesome to me. I work a lot of 3rd shift hours and Netflix and hulu are my go to. I can watch several movies or TV shows and still have 50% of my battery. No sure what a lot of other people are doing with their phones that they aren't getting adequate battery life. I have nothing bad to say about this phone. I love the Z series.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The future of phones... We all love our smart phones and we love our tablets but who wants to carry both? This phone has given me the best of both worlds. The phone screen folded up is a tad small and a little tedious to text but as I'm texting this review, I'm doing pretty good. It's just something to get used to. When it's unfolded, such a pleasure to use. I use a tablet at work. Now I don't need to carry it around. I just unfold my phone. Great for games and videos and since it's still so new and innovative, I get to show it off all the time. I really do love it. The crease actually disappears when looking straight at it. The battery also does great. With literal constant use it will last me most of the day. Honestly, this might be a must for all future phones and make tablets a little obsolete for casual users.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dropping calls I purchased this phone from Samsung directly back in August 2021. Since then I have noticed many dropped calls and the only way to fix it was to do a system restart. By saying dropped calls, I mean I would call someone and as soon as they picked it up, it immediately disconnected the call. Called customer care several times on this matter. The only resolution I was offered was to send the phone in for inspection for 5 business day without a loaner of any sort. Please think hard before settling for a samusng phone that may stop working regularly within a year, I will be.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I was emailed a request to write a review. I, generally, don't do reviews. The main reason is I get requests for them a short time after I've purchased. It's difficult to give a fair review before you've learned it's capabilities. It is a nice looking phone. It's a bit heavier than I thought it might be. The stylus does not work on the outer screen but works well when you use it on the inner screens. The battery life seems to last a bit longer but it should as it's new. I haven't had the phone long enough to give a fair evaluation on the features, performance and design. The value would depend on how the previous items pan out. Does seem pricey though. I do have hearing aids that have been affected by the Android 12 update.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great novelty phone! I have had my Z Fold 3 for about 3 weeks now and I love the device. It's the first "novelty" or "premium" device I've ever owned and I am not disappointed but there are definitely some areas that can be improved. Design: It's metal & glass body makes the device much heavier than the iPhone I previously had. It's awkwardly shaped (obviously) and so I have yet to find a case that I can live with and have had to resort to leaving it "uncased" which makes me nervous. Battery: It does have a limited battery life and streaming anything will eat up the battery very quickly and I am a pretty heavy user of the Power Save Mode in all my devices but I cant see that it makes much of a difference on this one. I'm never too far from a charger so I can't say that the limited battery life bothers me other than occasionally I will have to throw my ear buds in and listen to a podcast while it charges which it does very quickly. Folding Display: My only issue is that I have had the device for less than 30 days and I already have a couple dead pixels in the bottom left hand corner. I googled it only to find that this is a pretty common issue with the Z Fold 3 which of course is disappointing when considering the price point. I have kept an upgrade program with my provider so I really have no intention of paying this device off but will trade it in for something else when I am able to so even the price point isn't a deal breaker but its still disappointing nonetheless.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Personally I love this phone I'm going on around a month now of using this phone and the complaints I do have are not deal breakers. Sure the phone is expensive, but I knew that going into it. I would have ended up spending a little less for the s22 ultra anyways. App optimization on certain apps are a Lil annoying but that's not exactly the phones fault... the phone does great on making everything look as it should. I like performance in a phone so of course my battery life is going to diminish quicker than normal... still lasts me around 10 to 14 hrs depending on how much I use it. I love the split keyboard but I'm still trying to get the hang of the thumb stretch. All together this phone is amazing and with it being big I would still say it's not too big and I don't feel out of place using it in public.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An amazing phone!!! I was an apple user for 8 years. Entire family uses apple phones. However I needed a replacement and no iphones were available at my local at&t store. I decided to try out the fold3 and I was not disappointed. The screens are beautiful. The ability to run multiple applications side by side is amazing. My family does complain about the compatibility with facetime but we either use zoom or have them download duo. Works great. Now for the cons: camera lens sticks out pretty far and the lens is pretty vulnerable. Samsung cases barely protect the lenses. I would advise going with a case that sticks a bit further out then the lenses. battery life is mediocre.... If your a gamer. Do not expect to play on the full size screen for 3 hours and be above 50%.(new York flight and snake). Now if you use your phone for business use such as using edge while being on a speaker call while running between word, reminders, and calenders... You will be impressed. Easily capable of 12 plus hours for this use. However you use the phone, battery life can be completely negated if you carry around a super fast type charger because you can get a full charge within an hour roughly and your set for another 12 hours. Camera app and camera is weird but oddly usable. I've had great photos and then some completely questionable photos. You will either be utterly impressed or completely flustered with how pictures come out. People say this is an app issue however it's still an inconvenience if true. I'm looking more into that currently. Now for the pros: viewing videos for entertainment or for school or for work you will be impressed. The picture or screen is beautiful. Nothing more needs to be said. The speakers are amazing as well. However I did notice the highs are a bit higher than I would like but there is an equilizer that comes with presets. If you truly care that much there is a 10 bar customization as well. for me, it's not that big of a deal and just something I noticed. I have it on auto or the original option. The mids and lows seem balanced. The speakers themselves get pretty loud as well. You may get some very unnoticeable distortion on some music apps however this could be a download issue when streaming but regardless it's not a big deal because it's hardly noticable. Being able to connect to a Microsoft computer and type with your keyboard to text people back or swap web pages between devices through edge is awesome. I can even view my phone screen on my computer. Truly the main reason why I purchased the phone was to be compatible with my Microsoft computer. Overall, the phone is amazing. It's taken me a few weeks to adjust to the Android interface but definitely worth it. **Now I must say this isn't a con because it's not Samsung's fault but I should mention cases are hard to find and not all of them are great either. Screen protectors for both screens are accessible. They are plenty out but i would advise doing research on which ones are better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I would not recommend I absolutely loved this phone for 4 months, but the more I folded and unfolded it the worse the crease got. Then the crease slowly started to crack. I contacted Samsung and they handled the situation terribly and said it was physical damage which isn't covered by the warranty. Save yourself the heartache and don't buy this phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love this phone... I have had this phone for about 3 weeks. I am not a tech person.... just a regular person that wanted to try a large tablet styled phone. I really like it and get so much use from the larger screen. The only two cons for this phone is not having a place to store the s-pen because the case for the s-pen is terrible. The other is the front small screen doesn't use the s-pen which makes no sense at all. I am a Samsung person though and imagine I will always trade in to try their new phones that use S-pen. For now I am really happy with my new phone! 5g isn't working and I am still working with the provider. Today they told me 5g will not work until samsung sends an update to some phones. I find that hard to believe and will be back to update my review if that is correct.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Surprisingly Great I never really thought that a folding device would be solid enough to use as an every day device. Samsung has really improved on the concept to the point where the Z Fold 3 can be a great daily driver. It feels solid in the hand and has survived a few drops with zero damage. The speed and power of the device are impressive and the inner screen is a marvel of technology. Having a small tablet that folds into your pocket is just next level. When folded the device isn't as thick or heavy or unwieldy as many professional reviewers have stated. The pen support is fantastic and the versatility the device offers is impressive. The cameras are very very good. Are they the best in the business? No. Do they need to be? No. I do think the device is wildly overpriced however with all the special trade in deals Samsung actually makes it affordable to many. The overall package is just innovative and different and completely capable of being a great smartphone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not for the business professional We switched from Apple to Samsung several Notes ago. It was time to upgrade so we traded in some Note 20's for the all new Fold 3 phones. What a mistake!!!! This thing left us with phones plugged in more than they were being used. We tried working around the battery drain and frozen screens with Samsungs help. Nothing helped. We sell houses and need a phone that can handle calls all day as well as taking awesome pictures and videos. This phone doesn't excel at any of those. The Note 20 has a much better battery, is easier to use for pictures and video, and the audio volume is much better with the Note 20. We are now hunting for seven Note 20 Ultra's to replace these phones. We will stick with our Note 20's until a new Note is released. So glad we didn't trade in all our Notes for this phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from $2000 phone fails to perform basic phone features For new buyers, if you are planning to purchase this phone. Make sure you also purchase a backup phone, as Samsung doesn't want to exchange this phone during the warranty period (even though it's Samsung's hardware failure). I have been facing network connectivity issues for a few weeks, using it on a T Mobile network. Had calls with Samsung, T Mobile but they keep pointing at each other that issue is not with us, we are investigating on this don't have an ETA. Meanwhile do you want me to use the phone as a paper weight? I know this issue is not affecting all Z Fold 3 users, this is impacting only a few batch as of I have heard. Why can't I get a replacement phone? I even took the phone to service center, after diagnosis they said they can't do anything talk to Samsung for a replacement device. Now the phone only works if I use it on WIFI, as soon as I'm out of WIFI the network keeps dropping, so a basic phone call doesn't work reliably. Can't browse even though at times it shows 5G, it takes forever to load. Even during the warranty period Samsung doesn't honor a proper recall service. Imagine if this happens to your phone after the warranty period. There is definitely something flaw in this specific model, there are other phones that are working properly even after Android 12 update on the same network.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It’s cool! It’s a really cool device, but…. I ended up returning mine. I’ll wait for a new generation in the future. If you have giant hands for the home screen or tiny hands for the front screen you’ll love it. If you have no fear about expensive items, you’ll love it. If you are a firm believer in pop sockets and other holder-helpers, you’ll love it. But….. if you’re not, you’ll find some difficulties - holding the phone sideways to play games means your hands cover the speakers. Bending the screen so you can reach buttons at the top means you can press buttons in the middle (ie with Genshin Impact.) The camera on the back is really good!! ….But it means the device doesn’t lie flat so typing produces this fun little rattle with it and the surface that is more pronounced because of its size. Also, the front screen like I mentioned - if you have tiny thumbs the skinny screen is great. Or really long fingers. I couldn’t go three words without making eight typos because the keyboard was just forced to be so small. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE though…. this thing is COOL. it felt like I wasn’t squinting. it was great to have the big screen with all the little screen too. the colors were amazing and the graphics were powerful. Multiple windows open was niiiice. It’s a great thing! So is the 21 day free trial.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Evolutionary Success! The best of many worlds! Watching ANYTHING on the huge 7.6" screen is amazing and brings portable media, entertainment and productivity to new heights. Although a tad heavier than my Note 20+ Ultra, when folded it fits inside my pocket much more comfortable. Folded its shorter and less wide, opened up - wow! And the software complements the capabilities so well with saveable multi-views, fold views and the custom S-pen for quick notes, drawing and mark ups. Fantastic machine- been waiting for this concept to be ready for prime time and it is!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice device...I'd never pay full price though! I've had this for a month+ now and I am starting to like it more and more... It is a little heavier than I'd like but it's very well made... I'm still learning but this phone does SOOOOO much it's going to take me a while to utilizea chunk of itscapabilities... I would never buy one this expensive at full price... the buy-back trade made me go for it... Finding a GOOD cover that stays in place as well as featuring a kickstand AND finger ring grip already built in for me was crucial... I found one on Amazon that is great so far and only $28... tried 2 already and they broke so more options are definitely needed! I like having a few different ones to change out every so often... I am disappointed it DID NOT come with the S pen... another $60... cha ching... I do LOVE that I can write my text in cursive and it types it for me... I have long nails so that's huge for me to use the pen and write to text faster when speaking isn't a good option... navigating is better for me with a pen and not my fingers... loving the BIG screen... you do need the pen moreso because that folding screen is softer than the front screen which you cannot use the pen on... regardless... it's very cool...takes great video and pictures as well... very nice clarity on all things visual... a louder audio level would be great as well... just keep a charger with you as it does drain little faster than regular android but choose your battles right? It's not THAT bad overall in battery usage... I'll be generous and give 5 stars... but should be 4.5 due to not having a pen included or an actual plug for charging... only USB cable and adapter to phone port.... and some other things I've mentioned... idk if I would have liked the new Flip one better?? I like folding and closing my phone... the act of being able to do that symbolizes "I'm finished " and helps me cut down on the time I spend on my phone for no real reason... I'd also ask to clarify how this trade in policy pays you back for your old phone... for us it's not a 1 time $900 payment to our account for my phone... it's small monthly credits... my hubbs wasn't so thrilled about that part and it wasn't explained... but hey if you want something really cool and supposedly the best out there right now... go for it! And wear a belt because it will pull your lightweight pants down if you put it in your pocket lol ;-) ...I've purchased a lightly padded fabric zipper pouch from Etsy with a wristlet to carry my phone in... easier access than in my handbag and too big/thick for a pocket... have fun with your new gadget!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What a great phone!!! I bought my Z Fold 3 when it first came out. I had always been a loyal HTC phone user but my last HTC was not meeting expectations. I made the investment into the Z and I have never been happier. As a matter of fact, I just bought another one last week for my sister. Anyone who sees my phone is jealous and other family members who just bought iphones are now wishing they bought a Z. This phone is easy to use, smooth operating and definitely not complicated. (I am 65). Very user friendly and so versatile. I am a reborn Samsung fan and it's now Samsung going forward!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Phone but charging took a drastic downgrade I have owned the phone for about 2 weeks so far and as far as functionality, features, etc. everything has been great with only a few areas that are downgrades. The pros - more compact design when closed, a little thick but nonetheless compact - amazing screen when open and awesome for watching videos and streaming shows while doing cardio without straining your eyes to see - camera is decent, no complaints, thought it would be a drastic downgrade from the 108MP S20 Ultra I upgraded from but it holds its own Cons - Charging, downgraded from a 45W capability to a 25W which takes more than twice as long and after having the 45 for almost 2 years it feels like it takes forever - some wording gets cut off on the small screen on websites

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The most unique If you're tired of the usual smartphones that barely upgrades anything every year, this one will take you on a different level. If you like tablets, but still want phone capabilities, then go for this one. It's like having a powerful, mini tablet that fits in your pocket. Great on games.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this Device! I read many reviews about the fold before my purchase. The only issue that I do see that has some validity is the battery life. I do hope in future versions, that is greatly improved. As far as everything else, especially the reviews about the camera, I don't see it. I am a die-hard Apple phone user. I purchased this device to use for work and for grad school. Samsung has always been the leader in larger phones. As far as I am concerned....they did it again. I love being able to have a mini-tablet size device when I need it. I don't understand why you would need to use the pen on the initial screen when the device is not opened. That screen is small. I don't even like doing any fast texting on it. Since I have had the device, I just see most of what I have read is coming from those who may not have figured out what the use is for this type of device. As for me, it is meeting all of my needs. The camera is efficient enough as I have no desire to film a movie or become an expert photographer with it. I would only suggest if you should purchase this phone, be confident in your use for it rather than just purchasing the next best thing. That would most likely improve its likeability. Good job Samsung!

All in all i wasted eighteen hundred dollars. Should have stayed w/ Note 20.

I've been a Note owner since Samsung first released them. The Z has enough of the same functions that I haven't missed my note functionally. I am reminded this is not a Note simply because of the weight of this phone. If you can work with the weight, you will love the functionality of this phone. One of the most pleasant surprises has been the camera features. More to come!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Steer Clear of this Phone SAVE YOUR MONEY, steer clear of this phone, design/engineering is not there for an every day use device. I loved the phone when I first bought it. The inner screen was amazing good image quality and the fold was negligible. But after 6 months the inner screen protector began to delaminate at the fold; this soon after turned into a crack down the fold which began to spread, rendering one side of the inner screen devoid to touch interaction. It is pretty clear that the fold in the screen is a compromised point for heightened stresses and has lead to a failure. I began the warranty process only to be wholly disappointed and let down by Samsung and this is where my real qualms come in. Samsung deems any scuff a sign of physical damage even if it is unrelated to the issue at hand and will essentially void your warranty. I feel Samsung is aware this phone has design issues leading to this inner LCD to be compromised and will do anything to skate around them. From the moment I bought this phone it has been in a case which unfortunate for me fails to protect the hinge or the outer screen which has resulted in some slight scratches and scuff in the outer screen from being in my pocket, but I have never dropped this phone. Apparently those scuffs are enough to not cover the completely unrelated issue of the inner LCD failure at the inherently compromised fold in the screen. I knew buying this phone at its price point would be a gamble for such a novel new technology but I can not justify paying an additional cost to repair the phone out of my own pocket with Samsung's lack of confidence in standing behind their product for what clearly is a manufactures/design flaw. Looks like I am stuck with an expensive paper weight.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing phone till it wasn't. Love love loved this phone. It is the future as.far as I can tell. Can you notice that. there are periods throughout this review? Aw yes, well the regular screen is just a bit to narrow and it's easy to.fat finger. But that's not the deal deal breaker. The inside crease gave way at almost a year to the day. This is a phone that was never dropped and taken better care of than another phone I've ever had. I mean, 1800 bucks didn't come cheap. Looking forward to investing in maybe the next foldable but at this stage, that glass does eventually break. Can only open it so many times. My neighbor has a flip 3 and he's on his second one now. Time will tell but I'd steer clear till they fix this. Currently trading it in for a s22 ultra.

The camera quality is advanced than an SLR. It took awesome pics. Only one thing i did not like is, it's weight. It is little heavy in hands. But, hey if you want ultra quality phone, you need to manage the weight. Overall, highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fun, but WAY, WAY too sensitive to water and shock I love the folding aspect of this phone as well as its capabilities for video, sound, clarity, etc. My massive disappointment with it is with the weakness of the design. I have three complaints: two could be fixed easily. One - this phone is WAY, WAY too sensitive to water. They say it is water rated, but I have had continuous screen malfunction with the front face screen whenever it gets too wet; meaning anything more than mist. I would not even dare put it under water. Two - the phone, like too many modern phones, is way too slick. It slides right out of your hand, out of pockets, off surfaces, off everything. Get a phone protector, you say? I'm still trying to find a good one for a phone that folds. Also, what is the point in getting a colorful phone if I have to put a protector over it? Just make the back surface have some grip! Three - The open screen needs more bezel or less sensitivity around the edges. When I am holding it, the heat from my hand holding it very often registers with the edge and interferes with whatever touch screen activity I am trying to do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exception phone with a few hicups So far it has done very well to hold up. There are a few software hicups that dont bother me, but I did have an inner screen problem to fix after 7 months from day one. They fixed everything and it looks brand new. Better than a slab phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazingly Capable Next Gen Foldable What I love about the Fold is the thrill of opening that glorious main screen, the smoothness of the variable refresh rating screen, the power of the processor. This device is so much more than a phone or tablet, it is attentive, proactive, always learning and supremely well built for these purposes, you're never going to want just a phone ever again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The phone of the future is now - almost As I enter my first month of ownership, I am amazed how the large screen as entered my life. For me, the 7" screen is my goto means of use. It is ideally sized for online lessons, videos, and ebook reading. The split keyboard takes some getting used for typing, but it isn't a painful curve. The screen is stunning and the fold section (a grievance many note) is invisible when I view dead center pages and videos. So why not a 5 star? Welllll, I'm a big Stylus fan (being a longtime Note user since 4). First and foremost, I have the stylist and it doesn't work on the small front screen; it's benefits only work on the inside. That truly surprised me as the front screen is small and the keyboard on it is tiny for my fingers. The stylist would be ideally suited for that. This lack of capability renders the front screen basically unused save unlocking and call answering. Second, they designed a Fold stylus usage to this model- the Note pens do not work with it. I knew this going in but the scale of this annoyance was apparent when I'm using my Note 20 stylus and would instinctively try to use it to turn off Fold alerts. I'll grow out of this habit, but the fact something low cost like the pen can't work across pen-capabile phones when their chargers and Samsung Gear do feels petty. Lastly, the battery is consumed faster than my Note 20 for comparable usage. I believe the batteries are comperable- I'm no engineering expert- but the fold tends to be 10% less than the Note during the day.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! Wow. It has been only about 2 months since i'd purchased my Galaxy Z Fold 3 but i just love it! The look, the feel and everything about it. Definitely better than the Z fold 2, which was already way ahead of the game for the smartphone genre. Was worried reading about the inside screen scratching or tearing but it never happened to me. Had a little bit of the front screen bubbling a tiny bit but was able to iron it out with no problem. Love it!

Thanks Samsung for a fantastic product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lots of bugs. . . I bought this phone for my partner as a gift and it worked great for the first month. Today, we noticed that none of the features are working --- nor can he make/receive calls or text messages. I called T-Mobile and they indicated that there are multiple known problems that Samsung is working to rectify, but no date has been established as to when the problems will be fixed. Thus, T-Mobile is allowing exchanges/returns of the phone and they're waiving all fees associated with it. In essence, the Fold3 5G is a garbage phone. Not what I expected for an almost $1,800 phone (purchased through T-Mobile). Don't waste your time or energy on this device.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Everything great dampened by terrible WiFi I really want to like this phone. The form and function are astoundingly good. However I would be amiss to claim what it offers is really worth the premium price to most users. But I like to be on the bleeding edge and do not mind paying extra to be there. However I have had nonstop issues with the WiFi constantly dropping out or not making a good connection. Plagued with ongoing issues I went through every support means I could and followed every possible troubleshooting option that exists. Being an IT Engineer I figured I would be in the best place possible to sort this out quickly... This is the only device I own with this problem and it occurs no matter what WiFi network I connect it to or how I configure it. I even got a brand new WiFi 6 access point to connect it to with no change. It sometimes just arbitrarily drop a handful of packets. This can get as bad as happening every few minutes, or sometimes it will require dropping the connection and reconnecting. If I am really lucky, I can go 15-20 minutes without an issue. If you have good LTE service it isn't really an issue, but at home I have terrible coverage and so continue to have a terrible experience. After almost a month and a half of back and forth trying to solve this, I demanded a replacement assuming it was just a defect. After fighting with their support and wasting many hours of my life, finally got them to do an exchange. New one arrived and seemed good at first... but nearly a month later and it is experiencing the same issue again. My SO is laughing at me and saying 'see, should have gone with Apple'. Gotta be honest, the effort needed to try and work with Samsung on a solution or replacement is palpable. I would rather be stuck with a crappy phone for a year or so until I upgrade again than deal with their support again. The fold thing is neat and the large screen is very impressive, but honestly I am seriously rethinking my relationship with Samsung after this experience despite buying their phones for over a decade now and being an avid user of many of their other products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great idea but not.............. Dealer had zero cases, screen protectors and haven't found one that a actually fits well. When phone is on the open screen typing is odd to say the least, and the main app button,back up buttons dont work at times. Very smooth finish causes the phone to slip off any surface. The phone slid off my center console five inches and the front or outside screen was damaged from contact with floor mat in my vehicle. Aside from those issues I would say that if you can get a good case or any the phone would be good. If you can get used to the awkward keyboard size and layout.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Never looking back! I bought this under the "try it free for 3 weeks" knowing that I might not like it. 10 days in I knew I could never go back. My wife has a Note 20 Ultra, after comparing the two I know I made the right decision with the fold. It would be better if the fold had a built-in S Pen like the Note line, but the Z Fold 3 is still amazing. Things people might not like: 1. Camera - this camera is great, but it's not as good as other flagship phones 2. Fear of damage - I am extra careful with this phone due to its price, I feel like I need to baby it 3. It's expensive - I get my money's worth out of it, although some people don't use their phones that much Things I LOVE: 1. Practical multi app use! Previous phones could split screen, but there wasn't enough screen space to make proper use for it. Examples- duolingo+notes; stopwatch+workout app+spotify; work video call+notes+email; internet+notes 2. Tablet anywhere, anytime - having this tablet fit into my pocket is super valuable. 3. Input options! Sometimes I use the wide keyboard, sometimes I use the small one on the right side of the screen for swipe-typing, sometimes I just use the S pen to "type" 4. Widgets! The big homescreen is excellent for widgets. Some of my favorites: Google Keep (reminders and things I'm working on); "do it now" (daily habits/tasks), weather forecast, myfitness pal, calendar 5. Big screen for videos 6. Big screen for Maps - with a car dashboard mount, this thing makes my 2007 vue feel like a Tesla Conclusion: I don't think this phone is perfect for everyone, but it greatly exceeded my expectations and I'm never going back to a non-foldable!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE I purchased this phone when it first hit the market and was available in September 2021. It had everything, so I knew that this would be my last phone. At the time that I purchased the phone, Verizon was my carrier and I indicated this when I purchased the phone. I also purchased the phone directly from Samsung and not online. Well 5 months later, I decided to change my carrier to AT&T. That is where this phone has a real problem when you change carriers. Within a week after I changed my carrier, the phone went dead on me. I was away from home and I was without a signal for over 3 hours. I have 2 phones on my account. I also purchased the Galaxy Flip 3 for my daughter around the same time that I purchased my phone and she was not having a problem with service. In addition, no one else in the building that we were in was having a problem. I immediately called AT&T and was on the phone with the tech for almost 2 hours trying different things even resetting the phone to its original settings, My phone showed the bars greyed out with an "x" on top. The tech at AT&T told me that they would call me back when I got home. However, as soon as I got on my street at my driveway, I could hear the phone beeping that I had notifications. It was working again, as I told the tech at AT&T when he called. Then 2 days later, the same thing happened. No service with the bars greyed out. This time I stopped into an AT&T Phone store. They tried several things and checked all of my settings. Still nothing. When I got home, I called Verizon and had them to check my settings to see if my phone was connected to their service. Verizon had me look at different settings and confirmed that I was no longer connected to their network. I called Samsung to report this. Of course, Samsung pointed the finger at my carrier. I was told to call my old carrier again to make sure that I was not connected to their service and also call my current carrier to make sure that I was connected to their service. I was told by AT&T that pursuant to the IMEI number that I gave my phone was trying to connect to 3G service when there is no such service around. I again called Samsung who told me to take it back to my carrier, however, they did provide me with a service number to take it to their repair shop. After speaking with Verizon and AT&T again, I went with the service ID number to the repair shop. The repair shop told me to take it to AT&T because they could not help connection problems. So, I returned to an AT&T shop when they looked at all of my settings and stated that they looked okay. I then returned to the repair shop and was told that since my phone was still under warranty, Samsung should just replace the phone. I guess that would be too easy for Samsung. When I got home, I called Samsung again and was told to review certain settings. The person finally told me to send the phone in for repair. Now, I have to be without a phone for however long. At least if I had purchased the phone from a phone store they would provide me with a phone immediately. But, not Samsung, I am totally disappointed with Samsung. I would have never thought that they would take this root. This was not a cheap phone, I paid $2,000 for this phone for it to act up and not be reliable. Again, do not buy this phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Don't Expect it to work like a smartphone When it comes to looking at spreadsheets and looking through emails this phone is amazing, but that's where it ends. The touch screen on the outside and in don't work properly. When using common apps such as Facebook, Tiktok, Snapchat, and Instagram I'm constantly getting error messages saying my device doesn't support x,y features. Some examples that annoy me the most: I can't tag anyone on any platform (Facebook and Teams mainly), I can't use any Tiktok sounds or filters, and videos get cut weird. I personally think the battery life is lacking but to be fair I use my phone almost non stop. I had the Galaxy Note 10+ prior to this and miss my old phone like crazy. If I would have known how terrible this phone was I wouldn't have bought it and now I'm stuck.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing step forward in the folding world I had a chance to use the original fold for a bit and fell in love with them. This phone has been everything I hoped it would be. The only place I wish it had a bit more meat was the camera. The image processing is great and it's still just as good as iPhone. But after using the S21 with the amazing camera that has, this left me kind of wanting in the camera department. Outside of that I've had no issues with the phone overall! I just wish some apps would put more effort into their usability with the inner display. But that's not a Samsung problem, that's on the app developers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow, what a device!!! This is my first experience with the Fold. I've had this model since it came out in August 2021, and I totally love love love it!! When folded, I can do everything I'd like to do on the fly - check email, texts, social media, etc., and the folded size is great to fit in my pocket. When opened, which I do often, I can read books or spreadsheets, edit and view photos, or anything else where a larger display is helpful. Before having the Fold 3, I used to switch back and forth a lot between my smartphone and my tablet. Now I do nearly everything I want to do without having to switching over to a tablet. The fingerprint sensor is flawless, and I love that it's been moved to the side of the device. At the very beginning I thought the battery drain was a bit much, but over the first few months of owning it, there were updates that Samsung pushed out along the way that really, REALLY improved the device performance, and now I can make it through a day without having to do a re-charge (though the battery is pretty low at the end of the day). I also think that the camera is extremely decent, and the "night" feature is totally awesome. Not having owned a folding phone before, I was a bit uncertain whether I was going to like it and regret moving away from my Note 20 Ultra, but I really truly love the Z Fold 3 and am so glad to have this device. If there is anything I would want to change, it would be to somehow try and integrate the pen into the device, but I know that's tough. Regardless, I can't wait until the next Fold comes out and see what new features it brings.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best phone for work, play, anything really! I bought my phone two weeks ago and so far I love it!!! I'm not going back to normal phones. Despite some other reviews, I had no issues with the screens, they have been working fine. People might say the phone is too thick when folded but it is narrower than usual phones so it is easier to hold with one hand so it is not an issue for me. It's a bit expensive but I see it as buying a high quality phone and tavlet in one so really is it that expensive? I think not. I highly recommend this phone for anyone, but especially for people who work on the go. Great device!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very good phone Although I was very happy with my Note20 Ultra, I was intrigued with the Z Fold 3 after reading reviews. I decided to make the switch. All in all, I'm happy with the phone but I was disappointed that it has no slot for an SD card, and it is overpriced. I did get the 256gig phone but I take many pictures and was used to taking the SD card out and transferring the pics to one of my home computers. I do like the fold feature especially when I'm reviewing pictures. The larger screen works well. I purchased the Samsung phone cover with the S-Pen. Note that the S-pen only works on the big screen when the phone is unfolded.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Failed fold screen durability Very upset. Samsung advertised that the folding screen is "Durable!" That's a lie! I am a person that takes good care of my phones and never had a failed trade in and has gotten full credit. Less than a year (back in May) the sun shined on my screen and I first seen little cracks (vertically). I was amazed! Here we are in August and the internal cracks have gotten worse. This is obviously (seen on YouTube, Reddit, and comment section) a recall issue. It's widespread and unacceptable. Especially the money (pro grade laptop) they are charging. Love the phone and what it offers, but hardware wise it's cheaply made. Samsung reps act like they don't know this is happening (bad business practices) but the reviews on their website including mines is proof they know. Yes, I'm still under warranty but it will happen again until it's time to pay. What do I do? Trade it in for z fold 4 and pray it doesn't happen again while I still owe largely on it finance wise? That's beyond crazy and desperate. Samsung owes its customers more especially us long term loyal customers. What to do? Try other foldable that come out? Go back to candy bar shaped phones? I don't think so. Samsung offer your customers something beside just fixing a problem that would reoccur. Time to contact BBB.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Upgraded from my Note 20 Ulta I upgraded from my Note 20 Ulta with 0 regrets as a belated birthday gift for myself. I originally went into the store looking to buy a Z-flip sooooo glad I didn't. Once I saw the Z fold on display I had to get it. It's the best of both worlds having 2 screens on one phone. If you read ebooks and articles then you will absolutely adore this phone no doubt. It actually feels a lot quicker than the Note 20 Ulta I had also. Speaker sound is better also in my in my opinion. Multitasking is amazing on the larger screen. I'm not sure I could ever go back to a non fold. The battery isn't bad but could have been larger with dust resistance. At the end of the day the Galaxy Z Fold is worth every p penny. I highly recommended it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY!!!! I take excellent care of my devices and never have had even one cracked screen. I bought the toughest case for this phone and the not only did the front screen crack 2 weeks in, the inside screen has black blotches and cracked inside on week 3 and of course Samsung is no help for this defective product. I’d rather buy a $100 phone than own this again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Phone I Have Ever Owned After having this flip phone I don't want to go back to a standard phone. May there always be flip phones to give you the best of both worlds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this phone! I switched from iPhone 12 pro max and I don't regret the switch one bit! It was difficult getting used to this phone at first because of the big screen, but after a month I got used to it. I will be honest I wish the front display was slightly bigger because even though it's manely used for quick replies its kinda of a hassle to reply on it since it's so thin. I usually find myself using the big open display which is what I am using now to type this review. I love the attention I get with this phone, I went to get my nails done the other day and got a text message so I opened the display to reply and my nail tech noticed and they told me my phone was cool. It kinda made me day not gonna lie.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What an amazing device I picked up my z fold 3 after my wife got hers and I was able to see and use it. That main screen is amazing. I love having a foldable phone/tablet in my pocket. Media consumption is great, I pretty much don't even need my ipad anymore. Only reason its not a full 5 stars for me is that its very bulky. Its worth it, but took a long time to get used to.

It's hard to talk on it with the phone case ,, using headphones is way easier but don't always want to carry headphones. The open screen is nice when using the internet it has tabs up at the top like using a desktop. Battery life is OK as long as you aren't watching movies or shows.

Being able to go outside with piece of mind knowing the durability and water resistance is there makes it a truly awesome phone! Battery life seems a little bit lower than the Zfold2 but the trade off is that it will bottom line get you through the day. The 120hz on both screens and the under display camera are just awesome! People have reviewed the UDC as bad, but lets be honest, Who uses it other than for conference or video calls??? From a practical, real person / real world application this phone is just amazing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Phone I have ever owned So I bought this phone to replace my one plus 5g McLaren. Prior to that I owned 3 galaxy notes. I had a hard time swallowing the over 1k price tags for new phones which is why I had left to One plus. The Samsung experience on Android was missed tho. The fold 3 allows me to watch video in a much better format than I could on other smartphones. It's at least a 2 in one device as I don't own a tablet or a laptop. Samsung Dex with my large TV and keyboard and I have computing power for things I would use a laptop for. This keyboard is great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Greatest phone ever I love this phone. I had the fold 2 as well and loved it. Yes it's expensive but I'll never need a tablet again. If you buy a tablet for $500 or $600 and then spend $1000 on a high end phone it's around the same price as the Fold 3 but I only have to carry one device. It's light weight and fits any pant pocket. It takes great pics and vids. Some people complain about the front facing cam but I could care less about selfies. Now it's water resistant which makes it a step up from the fold 2. Honestly I can't say enough about this phone. Apple better start following suit or they will suffer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great phone love the hardware some minor issues I bought the phone on launch day. Love it for the most part. The screen size is great! I did notice the hinge will make a small click (just one) every time I open the phone however. Started after day 4 or 5. It doesn't come from the speaker. It's definitely the hinge. Some apps are not fully optimized for this phone when in tablet mode for example on fb some stories aspect ratio are to big for the screen. Also camera isn't anything amazing Google pixel 4xl took a better picture I think. Once all the Google apps were installed and set to default the phone is even better! Hint hint Samsung....go basic android nobody wants your brand photo gallery and keyboard etc

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Upgraded from fold 2 to fold 3. I love this phone. I was the first person in socal to get the fold 2 last year. Switched to fold 3. It's a hair smaller than the fold 2. My fold 2 case fits on it, but have to secure it with rubber bands. Plus the flashlight is covered. Waiting for fold3 case. I recommend putting a film screen protector over both screens. When playing Cod you will rub in indentions into the plastic with out a second layer. Also get a case with outside screen covering. Dropped my old fold 2 and without the protection it would have cracked front screen. Battery last alitte longer than fold 2. The charging plug on the phone is more difficult to mate the cord to it. You have findle with finding the right spot. Great phone overall.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Note 20 Ultra upgrade, no regrets I recently upgraded to the Z fold 3 from the Note 20 Ultra, the Notes have always been my go to phones. With that said, the Folds have always been on my radar, just to new and expensive to get. So for those of you who may be reluctant or on the fence about moving to the Fold 3, I'm going to say flat out I LOVE it. I loved the large screen on my Notes, its always been the key feature I loved. I very much stream video content on the go. So having that big screen that plays the video is great. It displays it bigger than on the Note 20 Ultra. Sure you could zoom in on some apps to fill the screen, but on the Fold 3 you don't and its fantastic. The crease in the middle doesn't distract at all when playing videos. Second the battery does drain slightly quicker, especially if you use the large screen more often than not. I get almost a 12-13 hours of use, watching maybe an hour of video. Using apps on the large screen and small screen from time to time. I don't feel I need to change my usage for fear of the battery draining to quickly. Some days when on the go for longer than 12 plus hours and its getting low, I have a quick charger in my car. An hour on it and BAM, back to 70-80%. So Battery, not so bad. Now sure the cameras aren't on par with the Note 20 Ultra or the S series, but they still are quite good. But camera quality doesn't matter much to me, I take the occasional picture or selfie. So the 10 mp selfie camera on the front is fine for me and 12 mp ones on the back get it done for me. I also thought the weight would bother me, but having a Note 20 Ultra or S 21 Ultra in your pocket is already quite heavy. The weight change isn't noticeable, in my opinion. Also those phones always feel like I might drop them easily, because my fingers barely get around them. When this phone is folded, it feels great in my hand. When I want a bigger screen though, BAM, unfold and bigger screen than all Ultra Models. Speaking of that screen, I thought it might feel cheap, like on the previous models. It doesn't. So if you've been thinking about these Z Fold phones, I personally think they finally got them out of the test phase and their ready for primetime. Especially since their is no new Note this year. Even if they do introduce a new Note next year, I think Ive finally moved on to a Bigger, Better and Foldier Phablet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from **Eye Catcher** The era of diverse folding phone form factors has begun!!! I absolutely love this phone. I am a millennial, and in my opinion it is our generation that always popularized any new form of technology that has been launched since the 90s be it Nintendo, SEGA or the first PlayStation gaming console. We also popularized Facebook and Instagram. And so it was also us who made mobile phones famous in the early 2000s. I remember back in 2001 when my dad bought the Samsung SGH A200, I was so stoked as the phone was one of first flip phones with two screens. I felt the same when Sony Ericsson T630i came out in 2003 and then Nokia 8800. And so 2000 began an era of different form factors be it simple, flip, sliding, swivel, gaming phones (NGAGE), or touch screen. Hence, form factor was a big part of deciding whether to buy a phone. This trend then phased out in 2010 and onwards as we only had simple slab style touch phones which got so boring. Thus I am glad with folding phones, we are going to see multiple different forms catering different purposes and styles in this decade, and this really excites me. Moreover, I switched to Samsung due to the Note series starting from Note 9 and then to Note 20, as I use the S-Pen for my work. But, overtime I felt like I need extra screen space to represent my ideas in form of graphs and stuff, so I started looking into Tablets. And around this time, Samsung sent me the Z Fold 3 reserve email, and the deal was so good. And since F3 is a 2 in 1 (tablet + phone) along with S-Pen support, I bought it. I absolutely love the phone, it's a power house, it caters to all my needs plus it looks super cool and is an eye catcher people compliment it all the time!!!

Two wishes for fold 4 is - S-pen capabilities for outer display as well and it's storage inside the phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not The Best Smartphone - And That's The Point After trying many other types of smartphones and taking a long break from Android, my first Samsung device was the ill-fated Note 7. I was so impressed with that phone that despite the battery issues I preordered a Note 8 and later a Note 10. I have no real complaints for any of them, as each represented an excellent refinement of traditional hardware that offered the best smartphone experience available. That refinement is finally reaching the Z Fold line, with some caveats. Let's not pretend that this is the best smartphone experience available; it's the same energy as the Note, but applied to something entirely different, and that's really the point. Samsung has taken a concept most people would have said was completely impossible as recently as a few years ago and made it not just work, but work rather well, to the point that if you buy this instead of a normal smartphone you can rely on it. That is impressive all on its own, and echoes the push to big screens that Samsung led many years ago which shaped the modern smartphone landscape. So, why buy this phone? Rather unsurprisingly, if you find yourself doing anything that would benefit from more screen real estate but don't find it practical to have a tablet or laptop at hand, this makes a world of difference. This review is typed entirely on the Z Fold 3, much more comfortably than it could have been on my Note 10. Reading is also greatly improved, for both text and comics. It also offers a great deal more space to work with when drawing with an S Pen, and for playing games that benefit from the large square viewing area. It's also actually easier on the pocket than a Note 10 due to the tradeoff of width for thickness, and a little easier to use the left side if front screen one-handed due to its narrow profile. Why might you steer clear of this one? If you need all day batter from your phone with heavy use and no ability to charge, and can get by with the smaller screen (or use a supplementary device like a tablet or laptop) then there's little appeal, especially when you can afford to get a better phone and better tablet separately for lower cost. This is also not a great device for video content given the prevalence of wide-screen ratios, which means you end up with black margins that make the video worse than it would be on an ordinary phone. You also can't use the screen-off memo from the Note series with the front screen, only the inside screen, rendering that feature far less useful. No removable storage is also painful if you like to carry a lot of content on your phone, and the cameras are passable, not top-of-the-line. Bottom line: The Z Fold 3 is not a perfect device. I think more than anything else, I would have liked to have an included stylus and/or great battery life. But the quibbles are minor - the battery life isn't bad, and the stylus support is there albeit without onboard storage. The screen crease is still present, albeit inoffensive and usually unnoticed. And apps are still getting used to the form factor, which leads to some quirks. But that's about all I can say about the downsides - and again, for a fully functional device that can fold in half with the durability to be a daily driver, that is incredible. I highly recommend trying one of these to anyone who stands to benefit from the versatility of the inside screen more than they stand to lose from the compromises mentioned above. The Z Fold 3 easily earns 5 stars not because it is a perfect phone, but because it is a marvelous remaining of what a mobile device can be.

This phone is really awesome, probably the best smartphone I've had to date. Not all apps are optimized for it yet but with the addition of labs in settings, you can customize certain apps to fit your screen in different ratios. Super fast and snappy and it folds in half!!!

Remember if you want to keep your customers give them what they pay for. This is a premium phone and the price not everyone can afford it. Make worth its price in premium features also

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well Worth the Wait! I waited until the 3rd iteration of the Z Fold and I am glad I did. I wanted to get the first version, but I made myself wait until Samsung worked out the kinks. The Z Fold 3 is an excellent product! I use this phone for both work and personal, and the extra space on the inside screen is something that I am not sure I can ever go back from. The outer screen takes a little getting used to, but once you do every thing works well at a smooth 120 refresh rate. I would have liked to have seen the s21 Ultra camera array included with this premium product, but pictures still look very good on this phone. You will not regret this purchase!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No gimmicks, just Great craftsmanship! I was skeptical, a folding phone would fit my day to day life. Since making taking the jump to phablets, when purchasing my first Note series cell decade ago; I've never looked back. So what originally attracted me to this was the fact it folds out into a mini tablet. But it folds to a normal sized candy bar shape, I didn't think I would enjoy. But it's actually the perfect size for w.e. I need out of it at any given time. The slim, but long outside screen is ideal for one handed actions, and uses for like driving. Super crisp 120hz AMOLED screens presents the clearest, swiftest renders I've seen on any phone. Opening up to 7.6" of screen depicts every little detail in 4k resolutions! Is sturdy, responsive powerhouse. Noticing the power shift upgrading from a Note 20 ultra, I wasn't expecting much a difference. But I'd instantly fell for the new tech in town the minute it booted up. Match it with the new smart pen, does things no Note has been able to do thus far. I've been able to find a use for the different orientations and tricks this device offers. Which is a first. Usually It's strictly gimmick. In this case it's convenience. Wasn't too thrilled a out the cost, but with the added credits, was able to grab a case and galaxy watch 4 on the house! I never used the pen on the note, but picking the fold up made smartphones exciting again. I couldn't wait to try all my favorite apps out. Next is to see how Stadia runs on this thing! I don't think I'll use anything other than a fold again! If I was forced to Note some flaws. I'm not too particular about the crease caused when folding the 2 halves. It totally vanishes when in use, but I know it's there. It did take some practice using the onscreen keyboard when the device is open. But switching orientation made the device familiarly comfortable like holding a phone in landscape.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good phone but disappointing when compared to Sams I traded my Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G for this phone. In very few words. This new phone lacks the power in camera from the older model i traded and also i figured since it was almost twice as thick that the battery would be better but it is not actually. So there is no gain in camera nor in battery life. If I cuold have gotten better battery I would have been very happy and satisfied with it. The plus i can give is the screen size once open of course. it is great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it but things I don't like as Note user I love the phone but there are certain things that need to be changed or bother Me too much! Typing on the front screen and no pen holder. The case the holds the Spen socks. The flap always gets in its way and the pen makes the cover slide which then turn on your phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love both sizes My first Z Fold. Have only bought Notes beginning with the Note 2. Kept my Note 20 Ultra and decided to try the fold for 10 days to see if it might be something I liked. I have to say I really love this phone I like that I have two sizes to choose from depending on what I want to do. There are so many features to this phone that I am still after day 15 finding new things to love about this phone. A couple of my favorite features are the size that allows me to multitask with three windows at once and I also enjoy the versatility of the edge panel. There are new features I'm learning everyday about and really liking. I wish there was a place for the s pen instead of just using the case and although the case has gotten some very bad reviews I like the case that holds the s pen I just wish it came in a clear color so that I could see the color of my phone or it came in another color besides black, black being my least favorite color for a phone. The bottom line I feel like I got my money's worth with this phone even though I didn't trade in my Note 20 to pay even less. If I had of traded in my Note I would not have regretted it. I also have no complaints for the battery life. For what I use my phone for it lasts all day although I do carry around a battery pack just in case.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome phone I love the Fold 3! It's so satisfying to fold it open to the large main screen. Some apps have issues not just with the size of the screen but facebook for instance won't be in dark mode if you open it on the main screen. The phone feels sturdy and the hinge feels great. I do wish they had more cases for the s pen because the flip case is kind of a pain.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from All I can say is "WOW". I have only been using the Fold 3 for a week, but so far I have been very impressed. The screen looks absolutely great. After a few minutes of using you really don't even notice the screen fold or camera. Yes you definitely know they are there but your eyes aren't always focused on them. I haven't noticed the battery life to be an issue, but I have wireless chargers everywhere and it is on it when I am not using. Build quality is good as I find most Samsung phones to be. I upgraded from a Note 10+ 5g. I really liked that phone, but this is just next level nice. I can't speak to how well it will hold up over time as I have only had a week. But as 1st impressions go, I am impressed and will be keeping it.

One month into switching I am very pleased with the features and speed. It is a bit heavy compared to a Note. If they can lower the weight, (and bring the price backto earth) it would earn 5 stars.

I don't really like the fact that the front screen is so small it's hard to text on it you can open it to get a bigger split keyboard but then everyone can see your text convo. It's just not a good device if you have sensitive info on your device. Anyone around you can see your phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best Foldable, Hands Down I decided to make the purchase for this phone, knowing that I had a trail period to test the phone out. While I had my Note 20 Ultra, I decided that this was the best time to see if I would like to make the switch. The test was worth it, but compared to Note there was a lot of trade offs. The battery life isn't too bad compared to what reviewers have been saying. I do wish the refresh rates of each screen could be adjusted individually, and not matched. The under screen camera is a work in progress, so I will say it has fair quality for what it is. The major issues really belong to the actual front facing camera, and I feel like this camera had the potential to be so much better. Overall, I have noticed and made use of the 2nd screen, a lot more than I expected, and I'm happy to see what the future is like for these devices. I'll make the switch and keep mine! I only rated value so low, because of the value I had from the Note 20 Ultra!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great phone, but not for me A beautiful phone that works terrifically. The finger print sensor is fast and reliable the screen is wonderful. My gripe is that the main screen is too small. I have a note 20 ultra and have fallen in love with the large screen. Especially being 60 with less than perfect eyesight. If the fold had a small screen the size of the note 20 ultra and the inside screen double the size of the note 20 ultra it would be a perfect phone. I'll have to wait for the Z fold ultra size.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Using a phone has never been so fun! The Samsung Galaxy Z fold 3 is unlike any phone I've used! I previously used the Galaxy s10+. Needless to say, this phone is a huge upgrade! However if you ready have a Z Fold 2 and are not truly worried about durability, the phone isn't too different. The price for this phone may also turn away users, but if you're a huge tech lover and android user, this phone is sure to keep up with your needs!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awkward Ergonomics. Sweet phone though Long time Galaxy user (since the Galaxy S Captivate). Currently I still have my note9, S21 Ultra, and my new Fold3. My wife has the S20+ and the new Flip3. This phone is pretty nice, price is a tad high. I feel I got a better value for my S21 Ultra. Very fast, runs smooth, excellent hinge design. My complaints are the camera does not even compare to the Ultra, it is awkwardly thin to hold and use while closed and the same for when opened up. It is also a THICK phone. I still like it though, serves great for researching, watching videos, stock tracking/trading, as well as simply online shopping. Don't worry, I'll buy the Fold4

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Futuristic! Great device! I traded in my Note 9 because I wanted something new and different. Precisely why I did not upgrade to a note 20 or any before that. With the S pen compatability I retain most of the features of the note line that I love. The Z Fold 3 is a incredible device with a beautiful display! Multitasking is miles better than on a regular phone. The narrow design makes it easily pocketable and is very comfortable to use closed. For typing voice annotations work well for me or regular is fine for me. Great job SAMSUNG!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features, Awesome Display Pros: Awesome display - breath taking display, i am being avid reader, blogger and spend considerable amount of my time on internet. The device fits the need very nicely where you can open it and it feels like a full blown tab in your hands. The S-pen adds to advantage of taking note, creating designs, a nice feature to have with tab. The phone is sturdy and nice. Cons: 1) Wanted the device to have atleast the best camera for $1700 price tag. The camera are good but not as good compared to S21. My suggestion is if you are giving best device in terms of display, usability make sure cameras' are also topnotch. 2) Have a S-Pen holder inside the phone similar to Note.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Did not live up to expectations I was hoping that the Fold-3 would be a good fit for me as a real estate broker, however after 14 days of using the device I have found that it is too heavy and awkward to use. In addition to the weight of the device, when folded the screen is just too narrow and entering data in an app leds to errors. When unfolded, while the display is awesome, it is still awkward to use line of business applications. I really was hoping that it would be a good fit, but the weight of the device and awkwardness of use, folded and unfolded, just didn't make it a good fit for my professional needs. Fortunately, I received the product on the 21 day trial program, so I will be returning the device to Samsung and keeping my Note 20 Ultra. I appreciate the opportunity to "test drive" the device and tryed to make it productive for my needs, but it just doesn't do that. However I will still be a fan and user of Samsung products.

I bought this Fold 3 to replace my Fold 2 almost a month ago and the phone totally stopped working a week ago. I can't make any calls, text or browse internet. Calling SAMUNG was no helpful at all. Finally I send this month old device to Samsung for repair and waiting.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The big screen is s a game changer I've had this phone for about a month and I love it. First, the big screen and graphics are incredible. I watch alot of shows on this and just discovered the zoom feature. Second, for as heavy as it is it feels good in the hand. I have big hands and the note 10+ felt awkward. The front key board takes a bit to get used to, but the features help. It also took me a few days to adjust to the crease in the inside screen, but now I barely notice it. This is coming from someone who hates a single fingerprint on my screen. That being said, the only thing I don't like is the fact that the screens are fingerprint magnets!! So much so that for the price they should have at least thrown in a cleaning cloth. Other than that this thing is a beast.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Jumped the gun I wish I would have just gotten the note or something. This phone is frustrating. For example, if I'm swiping to text, while the screen is open, it goes back and deletes Every time! The crease seems to be why it happens. It freezes up and I have to restart it. I bought the case with pen holder. So far, it is protecting the screen. The phone is supposed to lock when it's closed, but it's not doing so. I do like the vibrant screens, when looking at images and movies. I just feel like I wasted 1600 dollars. (It definitely came out to more $ than advertised) Plus, the phone I sent in for trade in, has gotten lost in the mail system. So I have that added to the total

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Disappointed with Samsung and the Z fold We bought the phone on 1/3/2022 and by 2//2022 the inside screen went out. The customer service with ATT and Samsung have gone from OK to horrible. For the amount of money someone pays for a phone is outrageous. There is a pin-drop crack on the back of the phone and they will not fix the internal issue with the phone. When you call the customer service no one wants to help they pass you to the next person. The quality of the phone is NOT worth the amount you pay for the phone. It DOES NOT come with a charger. For the amount of the phone they should include a case and a charger. The concept of the bigger screen is cool and for the 2 weeks it worked my husband loved the phone to watch movies.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cool idea, terrible exhibition The outside screen is too narrow and too tall. They should have made is shorter and wider. The inside screen is fragile. The inside screen protector is starting to peel off after 7 months of ownership. I assume the screen will crack soon like other reviews I've read. The phone is over priced. I really wanted to love this phone but I just can't. I traded in an lg v60 and boy do I miss that phone. I would have gotten the lg v60 but they stopped making phones. I don't think I will be buying another Samsung product. I have had a red dot in the middle of my folding screen since about a month after I got the phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2k piece of trash I havent been able to use this phone for over 2 weeks now since the Tmobile upgrade. Using another phone while this one collects dust. Brand new. Nothing else wrong with it. Only works on Wi-Fi. Hugely disappointed. I've never spent this much money on a phone with no ability to use it. Im enraged. T-mobile says it's Samsungs fault. I don't know what to do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Screen did not last a year I purchased this phone hoping it'd be perfect for digital art. That never really panned out, since there's no stylus built in. Since most apps are built for somewhat standard sized phone screens, I use the slim outer screen well over 95% of the time. Including for typing, which requires far more typo correcting than I'm used to. Most days, I never open the phone to full screen size. 2 days ago, having owned the phone less than a year, I noticed the protective seal on the large display had begun to peel away at the edge, going a quarter inch down the middle of the screen. Today, that peeling area is now about 80% down the screen. I try to avoid exaggeration in reviews, so I just opened the phone again to see if that was an appropriate percentage and immediately heard a pop. It's now a very easy to estimate 100%. The timing is downright cheesy, maybe that's just what I get for complaining.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Holding A brick Going from note 10 plus to this phone was a tough call. Fold 3 feels like I am holding a small brick when it's folded. Not as comfortable to use single handed unlike other non foldable phone. It will take you awhile to get uses to using the phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Battery was the reason for return The battery just isn't there yet. We can drive hundreds of miles in EV but less than 4 hours of use on this phone. I would have kept it if they sold a 1000 ft extension cord at ho.e depot to stay plugged into the wall. Hopefully the next model has a better battery as I did like the phone overall.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it and Hate it So far I've had the worst experience in buying phones so far with this particular model. The first one screen broke without being dropped. Opened it and the middle had a black crack through. Second one was a replacement that was somehow sold me to me registered as a stolen phone. Third one was replacement for that one and the screen just broke in the middle 4 weeks in to having it. This is the best phone I've ever had. I absolutely love it and it's heartbreaking to have the screen keep breaking.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Horrible experience with phone and customer servic My Z-Fold was purchased 5 months ago from Samsung directly since they sent me a "Loyal Customer" offer. I was allowed to trade in my Galaxy Note 20 for credit towards this Z-Fold. I sent in my Note 20 when I received this Z-Fold. Loved the Z-Fold until the dreaded black line started out of nowhere. I never dropped it and it was fully encased with the Samsung cover with Note pen. It happened while on a plane and simply opened it. Throughout the 4 hour flight....the black line eventually turned into a 1-inch black zone and unresponsive on the right side. I started a service request within 24 hours. I sent it in and had the dreaded email and phone call stating..."we are unable to repair and it has been determined that this damage is from "non-warranty damage"....WHAT??? I am without a phone since I traded my Note 20 in and now Samsung is deflecting the design flaw as if I threw against the wall while the phone was open and some how caused damage as the crease!I

The closed screen has a lot of minor issues as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Phone/working machine ever I've just upgraded from Z Fold 2, now with water resistance, a bit thinner and the same great concept of a transformer phone to a portable pc. Can't say enough how much I like this concept phone, which acts a s a regular phone and then unfolds to a portable PC with as many features as you like speed, graphics, sound, size, the cameras are awesome. And a new cool feature on the Z Fold 3 is that the selfie camera when is u folded is hidden and only appears when you use it so you have a complete screen without the pip hole of the camera.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Folding phone done right This phone is smooth, quick, and helpful if you have trouble seeing on a smaller screen (when it's open). I was really surprised to see the folding screen in person, and now that I have one, it's a lot better quality than I thought. This can really shape the market to come. I wish there were a better selection of accessories/cases that would protect the exposed spine, but if you're looking to expand into the folding phones, this is a fantastic one to start with.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Z Fold 3 This phone is one a kind. Its light and skinny while folded and then BAM you unfold the two halves. A bright eye bushy tailed screen with lots of room to spare . Hon estly, when i first ordered it , i was having second thoughts it was a little on the higher end of the price range, anyways once i was able to use all the features. i am smitten by the sheer speed by which this thing operates. If you are looking to get one, then get it. No other phone manufacturer has a FOLD. The microsoft DUO actually has metal hinges between the two halves not Samsung. TRY it you won't regret it..

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth it! I pre-ordered this phone as a replacement for my note 9. With the bigger screen, it has been a worthy upgrade. The Samsung case that holds the pen can feel a little bit awkward but after some time, you can get used to it. There are people that complain about the crease in the middle. Personally for me, after a month of use, you don't really notice the crease unless someone points it out. Overall, I have enjoyed the phone. I just wished there was other options to store the pen on the phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Fold Ever I brought this phone in August 2021, when it came out. It s an excellent replacement for my note 10 but it is a new innovation big upgrade. I don't understand the reviews about the black line on the fold. It never happened to me and if it did. I would have been covered. If you buy any phone, be smart about any big purchase. Buy directly from Samsung (the source) or phone vendors (e.g. T mobile, Verizon and AT&T) and get the extra insurance, no matter if you get a new or refurbished phone. If you want to help a new buyer. Say something positive like, is it new or refurbished? Where did you obtain the phone from? Did you purchase additional insurance on top of the manufacturer warranty? This is an expensive purchase. Help the buyer make a good choice. Not just state your opinion of your experience leaving out information. I just don't like reviews that leaves out information. Consider there are buyers on a budget. and good and thorough information would greatly help the decision- making pricess and not just their pockets.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Crease Failed! Here's the review people have been looking for. I got the z fold 3 and had it from the end of August to the end of September. After almost a month of use, I opened the large screen and heard a crunch. The crease perfectly cracked from top to bottom. I was very surprised. I mailed it in to Samsung figuring they would immediately replace it as it must have been a factory defect for only 3 full weeks of use. But they refuse to stand behind it. I'm extremely disappointed and would warn anyone else to think twice before taking the risk I did by getting this phone. Was an awesome phone while the screen worked. But I will not be getting Samsung devices in the future.

Battery life is horrible. Hope you keep a charger in your pocket. My message app that is installed from the factory will let me send and receive pics but not text. How does that even happen. Never thought I would switch to Apple, but the lack of tech support and the fact that Samsung never honored their end of the bargain as far as the extra discount for accessories just seals it . Oh by the way, I hope you do not need any support for Samsung. JUNK!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This phone is all about the display and it shows!! This device innovates the display experience giving tablet like display on the go. The only big draw back to this device is battery life is short and hinge can have small debri stuck in it so dont take it to the beach. Having a much larging display allows you to see alot more and avoid lots of scrolling for example settings pane has a preview much makes it much easier to find things. Not all apps expand on the inner display but most do making looking at content better to view. This phone is almost a portable tv i can watch sports outside when the weather is cool. This device is like a super car good at what is does best but you almost need a second phone just to get small particle proof and longer battery life for certain trips. This phone also weighs alot more than most phones so invest in a good case. The camera is not the best but this device is all about what you see. This is the most innovate phone on the market if you can trade in and get a good value for for it but not a device everyone will like. The specs are also top line with 888 snapdragon and 120z screen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Convenience of Tablet and Phone There are some things that visually just work better on a tablet, though I would never buy a tablet data plan because I never would carry a tablet with me outside of home. This lets me carry a phone/tablet in my pocket, and have one data plan regardless of phone or tablet use. The unfolded size is very similar to an average kindle e-book, I say that noting that last time I used my kindle I wanted to fold it in half when I was done reading because I thought it was the Z Fold. PLEASE NOTE - I am glad i purchased the protection plan. Somehow the smaller screen got cracked on mine (not the folded one, that was fine). I am pretty sure this happened when I was hospitalized for most of a month and the phone was put in a hospital locker - I just couldn't prove that and I had the protection plan from Verizon (assurion, i think) which replaced it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointed in durability. Requesting replacement Samsung has always been my favorite cellular manufacturer. As far as phone functionality and design, it remains an A plus for me. Normally, I wouldn't leave a 3 star review for samsung. The only reason I have dropped stars is for the low durability of the device. I've been using Samsung since the S7 and continued on with the S8, S20, and now the Z Fold 3. None of my previous devices have cracked within a couple drops. I have held on to them for multiple years without a crack even after dropping a few times. My huge grievance with this device and Samsung as a whole is that I only dropped it 2 times -TWO TIMES- and it has already cracked the bottom half of the screen. At the price that this phone costs, the front glass screen absolutely SHOULD NOT be shattered when I've only had it since October 14th and it's only been dropped WITH a case and screen on it 2 times. The innovation is there but execution lacks with some design choices. If you are going to release a device that is worth the same as what you can buy a car for, make it durable or at least figure out a case design that will actually hold on to the phone and is made of absorbent material like silicon. Do not charge your customers $2000 for a phone that cracks so easily. Even the Samsung case for the pen is not protective in the least. I do not feel that I should have to pay almost $300 for repair or replacement just to possibly end up with technical issues or a used warranty device for a phone that I have only had for 2 months when it has full screen and case protection. I contacted customer service and was informed that even if I had set up Samsung care + it would still run me over $200. Plastic material on the front instead of glass would at least be less likely to shatter and the only thing we would need to be concerned with is taking care to not scratch. If that were the case then I wouldn't be as frustrated with this situation. Something needs to be done and I need a replacement. I will forever still love Samsung but they need to honestly rethink the costs and durability of their devices. It just should not break in 2 drops when it has full protection on both screens and on the body of the phone. Just extremely disappointed both as a consumer and as someone who works in telecommunications.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love this phone! This is the first phone I've been excited about in a long time. The large screen with s-pen is perfect for note taking and scheduling at work. The front screen is perfect for one-handed operation. Finding a case that works well was difficult, but I settled on a slim case from Spigen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Interesting but very sensitive I've been a Samsung customer for many years, and I was really interested in using the Z Fold 3. Unfortunately you have to extremely sensitive with the device due to the soft body. The productivity functionality is cool but inhibited by its main features the large screen. Many websites lose functionality when they're opened up as well constantly having to adjust the zoom. I have only owned the phone for 5 months and already experiencing blacked out spots on my large screen along the fold itself. I'm very careful to not leave any sort or crumbs or minor objects on the major screen prior to closing, so needless to say it has been a hopeless endeavor to try and maintain the phone. While I think the phone is fun and interesting, I don't recommend to anyone due to a couple reasons. 1. Sensitivity and Attentiveness As mentioned above 2. Price This item is way too expensive to constantly have to nurture these issues. Overall I wouldn't recommend it to anyone and I would recommend a Galaxy S20 or Note 10 and above over this phone. I really wanted to be impressed with the phone but have just experienced disappointment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Garbage This phone was marked to me as durable, it is not. Within two months of getting this phone it was returned to samsung for repairs. The fold in the screen frosted and cracked and withing two days of this happening the entire screen was delaminated and unusable. Took it to my local Verizon and they said it should be covered under factory warranty. My local Geek squad could not fix it but also agreed that it should be covered under warranty. When I pulled the screen protector off to ship the bare phone to samsung as per there instructions the screen cracked more. Samsung deemed this my fault and after 6hrs on the phone with them being bounced from person to person they proceeded to charge me $ 378 for the repairs. My favorite part of the whole experience was with an unusable phone I was also unable to back up any of my pictures or files. when the phone was return to me the repair person had wiped it clean. All my pictures gone for ever.Thanks samsung. I have always had great luck with samsung product but this whole ordeal has been terrible. I will not be buying any other samsung products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great phone! I received this phone a few days ago and have been exploring new things daily. The only 2 cons I found so far is the inside camera quality when the phone is opened, it's not that great, it could use improvement. The other con is the battery life. The battery life is great considering the type of phone it is, but wish they could extend it a little more. Other than that, the phone is great and can't wait to learn more!

Being able to unfold and work with the huge screen is a huge game changer and makes it hard for me to use normal phones now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from length wise I have no problems with it. It is just that I'm not that super excited about it. First, I like the screen size of my old Note 10. It is a lil hard to type on the front one of the fold3. Imagine if it had the screen size of my Note 10, I would be like WOW! Second, the pen it is not included. I have to buy a new one and a protection that can carry it; and this one does not let to place it flat on a surface. Third, they removed the audio jack hole. I do not know about you, buy for me someone looks "sexy" with a cord hanging from the ears than someone wearing a wireless ones. I can no longer use my earbuds. I have to buy new ones. Fourth, they only provide cable without charger. And fifth, so far all phone protections do not protect completely from scratches or cracks if you drop it to the ground on the middle section of the phone. Overall, I wish this new Fold3 was the size of the Note 10 I had for better typing on the front screen and AMAZING experience when unfolding it. That would leave room to store the pen (included with the phone) and still have the audio jack hole for my corded buds. It is just the unfolding experience and supposed faster service with this new Fold3.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely game changing! This is the phone I never new I needed. I don't see myself ever going back to a regular style smartphone. I'm a big fan of the aspect ratio size on the front screen, normally with phones being 6+inches, 1 handed texting was always tough, but the candy bar style screen on the front makes one handing texting easy again. Unfolding this bad boy into a beautiful AMOLED 120hz tablet for accomplishing bigger tasks is always a treat. I've never responded to so many emails from my phone before just because I want to use the big screen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nearly perfect execution, with a few flaws The Galaxy Z Fold3 is an ambitious device that gets so much right. Amazing displays, fast performance, good feel in hand and pocket, the best multitasking on any phone/tablet, and more...but it stumbles out of the gate on a few things. Battery life that could be an issue for some, no dust resistance, and a slim front display that can affect typing. The question really becomes, does having a mini tablet that has amazing performance in your pocket out weigh the areas were it doesn't hit the mark? Only you can answer that. For me, its a yes.

I took the leap back then and I'm taking this leap now. I really liked the improvements made from the Fold 2. I just found out what Samsung Free is because it came on my Fold 3. Really nice thing to have to be able to just pull up something when you need to waste some time. Only thing I really wish it had was a pen slot like the Note. Maybe next year ;). Samsung is always impressing me with what they do next. I always find myself saying how are they going to top this next year... well here we are.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Foldable Tablet Phone Had my Z Fold3 for a week now and I must say I'm impressed! It does everything as shown on the promotion videos. I'm still learning how to use all the features like the S-Pen and integration with the Galaxy Watch4 Classic I got as part of the bundle from Samsung. The photos are sharp and clear, easy to edit on the sizeable inner screen. Only negative I could come up with is the battery life could be larger. Using the phone all day on the big screen, watching videos, writing emails and playing games, I have to plug in around 5 pm. I have the battery life saver mode set so that it never charges above 85%, though. It's designed to extend the life of the battery and I plan to have this phone for years. That's really the only little issue.

Traded in a Note 20 Ultra that I had absolutely no issues with. Great features, but this just has all that and the generous internal screen. Have only run across a couple of issues with apps not behaving properly. Most likely due to the unconventional screen sizes. (Both front and inside.) But nothing that has been too much of a bother. Nice and fast, very clear image quality and the cameras are impressive. Still exploring but I have to say this is certainly on the same level as the other flagship phones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great phone This phone is everything I wanted it to be so far. The fold is strong enough that you aren't worried about it becoming flimsy. The picture quality is great. My wife is a big Apple person (boo) she have even commented on the pictures and how great they look. I love the text keyboard feature they have with the keyboard spread out and you can use both thumbs. Screen is huge and the smaller screen is just as nice and easy to read and use. Navigating through the phone is as easy as all my past Note phones ( I have had them all). A few knocks to stay honest. Its not the easiest thing to open the full size. Wish there was something to help get it started. Like a small tab to pull on or etc. It does take a few seconds sometimes to get itself situated after opening, but that depends on the app that is open. That may be more of an app issue than a phone issue. Last thing is the case. Coming form the note used my stylus pen often so I bought the case that came with one. It is "ok" does seem a tad flimsy and when open fully with the stylus holder on back is will not lay flat unless you remove it from the case. All in All this phone is everything I wanted so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing phone Actually, this product is more then a phone. It is also a tablet and laptop replacement. Multitasking capabilities are outstanding. Very fast processor. Build quality is excellent, and I owned the Z Fold 1&2. S Pen support, faster processor, and water resistance, combined with slightly smaller and lighter form factor are what made me upgrade, and it was well worth it. The only negative is that 5G from Verizon can be extremely slow at times. However, just found an app that allows you to choose LTE instead and so far so good until 5G service improves.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from People should do research before purchasing I've this phone from the release date and have no problems with it! The crease is not visible or interfering with my movies games or when im reading. I know the battery life isnt the best because the phone is thin of course i expected the battery to be smaller still better than any iphone's battery tho. I dont mind it not being dust resistant because i keep it clean and in a protected area. The gorilla glass design is really good and with a nice case i have a really good protection. I also enjoy the small cover screen and i play my games on it when im not home so my battery lasts longer. Also the problem people mentioned about the apps closing when trying to switch it to the bigger or smaller screens can be fixed in the settings it lets you know which apps have the continuity.... great phone if u do ur research and know how to read

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Certainly a neat phone with tablet capabilities The Z Fold3 is a very sleek foldable phone/tablet, which can allow for unique workflows and usage cases, such viewing Youtube in a larger window, opening multiple apps simultaneously to view and use each of them, or even having some apps utilize a special landscape mode, or partially-folded-landscape mode, on the larger screen to change how it behaves. Folded, the Z Fold3 does feel a little like a pocket-Bible, especially with the S-Pen case, adding more to the width of the device. So if you think you can carry that in your pocket, or a bag, then you would be fine with using this. Additionally, I would advise any prospective Z-Series owners to handle their phones carefully: Although the new series of phones is much more durable than the last ones, the screens are still fragile, especially where it folds. Some people may also heavily notice the "dip" that occurs in the crease of the folding screen. This may be much more noticeable to anyone looking to utilize drawing/art apps in the big screen mode, especially with the S-Pen. The S-Pen Fold-edition does help to not damage the screen with a self-retracting tip, but one shouldn't use prior models' S-Pens with this device. Overall, good so far. If you think you can afford this phone, and can carry it around without issue, it's definitely an experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Finally! Great phone, but not an excellent one yet. I really love the foldable screen, it gives it plenty of space to work on, also it has a big screen to view shows and play games on. The 120hz refresh rate makes a difference when switching between apps and windows. Flex mode is awesome when taking pictures. Productivity on this phone is awesome with multi apps and windows simultaneously working. Speaker sounds are awesome! The bad part about this phone is that there is no external memory that you can expand on. Under the screen camera makes video calls pixelated. Rear cameras does not have ultra zoom or better megapixels. Battery does not last long. With continuous usage I can only get it up to 5 - 6 hrs max. I wish with new software updates they can optimize the battery on this phone. Other than that it's a great phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cool phone but needs work Design: I love that the Z Fold 3 has a all metal case rather than a glass back like my Note 10 plus had. The buttons and finger print scanner being mounted on the right side of the phone is super helpful. Battery: The batter life is horrible. The battery has not capacity for long use. Watching videos will drain the battery way faster than than any other Samsung I have owned. Processing: The process power of the Z Fold 3 leave much to be desired. The S9 plus I had moved light years faster than the Z Fold 3. The Z Fold 3 also has a issue either freezing while loading video, app, web page, etc. If the Z Fold 3 doesn't freeze then if just won't load. Sound: Comparing the Z Fold 3 to my Note 10 plus the sound could be better. Volume output with volume at max is about half of what the Note 10 plus could output. Clarity of sound for the Z Fold 3 is crisp and clean. Camera: The front camera has not issue works as expected. Behind the screen camera is grainy or fuzzy but still does the job. The back camera has issues focusing on things that are not the focal point of the picture. Anything that is not the focal point is just a massive blur. If you can get the camera to focus properly the back camera can take some amazing pictures. Random: Z Fold 3 done not come with a charging brick only a USBc to USBc cable, massive lack of accessories, no expandable memory, photos taken with phone closed as slimed on other phones (leaves black bars on each side of the picture), and battery saver mode doesn't do much to save the batter. Conclusion: the Z Fold 3 is a fun phone with a interesting design but with a price tag around 2k the phone could be better. The biggest reasons I would stay away from this phone for the time being is the horrendous battery life and the issues with processing speeds and freezing. I'm sure this will all be fixed in the future but right now 2k is a bit much for a "gimmick" phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent form factor! Such a great device :) I’ve had the Fold 3 for about a week now and it’s been a great phone. The tablet mode is amazing and the durability of the internal screen is vastly improved (and better feeling) than the Fold 2.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The true definition of a phablet!! As a Note user for over 5 years, I was yet to locate the phone that offered the features of a phone along the capability of a tablet. The Fold and Fold 2 were close, but it was NOTHING like the Fold 3 The Fold 3 is the combination of the Note 20 Ultra and the Fold 2. Adding Spen support to the Fold 3 was the first thing I love about this phone. The 2nd thing is the build quality.......in which it's definitely a flagship type of phone The 120Hz refresh rate, 5G capability, multi-tasking 3 apps at the same time, Flex Mode, and Wireless DeX support are just some of the things that makes this phone great........but the best thing about this phone is just the mere "Wow Factor" when you show this phone off to other people This phone is exactly what I look for in a phone because I was tired of having a phone and tablet for so many years. Now that I have this phone, it'll be hard for me to not have any other type except the Fold series!! Thanks Samsung

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Combination phone/tablet I absolutely love this phone. Possibly the best Samsung phone ever made to date. I no longer have to carry both a tablet and a phone. Convenient and processes so fast. I even bought a nice phone holder for my Tesla to put it on. Looks amazing in my car. Excellent product

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One step closer to perfection This phone is almost it. Don't get me wrong I would not get anything else in the future the Note is DONE for me. The real-estate on this Fold Screen is just unbelievable. This is great for artists, engineers, architect's, just any one who has a creative mind. Even the case is great it has a holding lip pattern that makes it easy to hold. I am telling you becarefull on all those that are putting the case down they don't know what they ate talking about. Samsung you did it just one more thing make the main screen able to take notes and add a place for the pen and you will get that final fifth star. Thank you SAMSUNG.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellence As a Chief Information Officer for thirty years, I've purchased the latest phones and tablets to properly respond to inquiries and requests for recommendations. I've been very fond of the Samsung Galaxy S, Note, and Tab series from their inception. When the Fold was released I balked at the price and at the early reviews. I'm impatient but I had to wait. The Fold 2 was an improvement, but the price again made a purchase out of the question. So it was with great anticipation that I awaited the Z Fold 3. With Samsung's aggressive trade in offers and financing for the Fold 3, the purchase price was less than my S 21 Ultra. Combined with early positive reviews, I decided to pre-order. I've been using the Fold 3 since August 27th. Initial impressions were an excellent build, a solid hinge, and screens galore. Its about an ounce and a half heavier than the S21 Ultra and certainly thicker. I'm aware of it in my pocket. That said. Having the option of having a phone and a tablet at hand wherever I am is invaluable, worth the minor inconvenience. The closed screen is narrow, but even my fat fingers got used to the small footprint keyboard. I actually prefer it to the tablet sized keyboard. I can easily do everything I would do for calls, texts and email on the smaller screen. Anything I would prefer a larger screen for are better on the Fold than on any traditional phone. Videos, pics, readers, multi-tasking three apps with cut and paste among them are all a joy. It's not the perfect phone experience and it's not the perfect tablet experience, but it's clearly the BEST combination of BOTH in one device, ever. I'm sold. And that's without using the S pen yet. Sent my S21 Ultra trade-in to Samsung yesterday.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best Phone I have ever owned I have had my Fold 3 for about a week now, and i can say that this by far the best phone I have ever owned. (My Previous favorite was the note 7) I am coming to this Fold from a note 20 Ultra and I can say I do not miss the note. The S pen support is amazing, I could go on for days about the build quality and features.

This is the future of phones everyone I show it to is just amazed!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great upgrade I bought this phone, begrudgingly as I have been a Note faithful for several generations. I'm very pleased with the Fold. The front-facing screen is smaller than I expected, but of course the show stopper is when you open the phone up! The camera is stellar! I have even gotten a few iPhone owners to look into switching to this phone! I do miss the stylus and will be considering buying the case and stylus...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Incredible piece of technology Finger print scanner on the side is convenient compared to it being under the screen in my Note 10+. Was never able to use it right with the screen protector on. Was a huge pain point for me. Glad it is on the side on the Fold...able to unlock and log into apps with a breeze. The ability to multitask using split screen is awesome. Love that feature. Performance is great. Don't feel a glitch for anything I do. When folded it is easier to handle in one hand compared to my Note 10+ It would have been a 5 star rating if the S-pen was integrated within the phone. Don't like having it as a separate piece of hardware.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from You can't go back after using this phone I bought the Galaxy Z Fold3 a few days ago and now I'm so happy to enjoy the phone. 7.6 inches display without clearly seeing any punch hole camera is amazing, and I'm sure you can't go back to traditional smartphone after using it. Both cover and inner display are 120hz and the performance is pretty excellent and smooth. I was using a Galaxy Z Fold2 before switching to this phone, and I recommend to upgrade the phone if you are still using Galaxy Z Fold2 because Galaxy Z Fold3 is a water resistant phone. You don't need to worry about getting the phone wet or placing it at a humid area.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A game changer This is the best phone I have had in a long time. The specifications on paper do not do this phone any justice. Here why.. 1. Battery life is great on and frankly I watch a lot of video on this phone. I don't know if it’s the efficient processor, the efficient screen, or what, but I have no gripes about battery life at all. 2. Both inner and outer screens look phenomenal. Colors are crisp and vibrant. I’ve had 120 hertz refresh rate screens before but scrolling has never been this smooth either. 3. I heard gripes online about the outer screen being too narrow. I am glad I didn’t give that criticism any weight because after living with the phone for a while I think Samsung was right and thought things through. I can still easily text and get browsing completed no problem. The overall size of the phone when folded is easy to carry with one hand and fits in the pocket nicely. No gripes there. 4. The inner screen is what sets this phone apart from anything out there. Picture a mini tablet that you can fold up and carry it with you. It is a game changer, and it feels great. I love the fact Samsung put the camera under the display as well. It would have sucked to have such a beautiful screen with a hole punch blemish. The camera works well for video conferencing. After having owned this for a while now I again think Samsung made the right call here. I would much rather have an under screen camera than a hole punch camera with better specs. If I really wanted to take a selfie I could easily use the camera on the outside. Anyone who owns this phones knows its nothing to fold the phone and take a selfie lol. And no I don’t notice the crease when I am looking at the screen. Neither do you notice the under screen camera it hidden so well. 4. The software is very well integrated with the phone. All the apps I use work flawlessly as if they were made for the phone. You could have multiple apps open and have plenty of room for it all. Again, Samsung thought this through very well. 5. The speakers on the phone are surprisingly good. I wasn’t expecting them to be bad, but I also wasn’t expecting them to be this good either. The audio just makes the overall experience of having a phone like this perfect. I have owned a lot of phones in my day. Very few phones I can remember have stood out as truly great phones. This is definitely one of those phones for me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful technology Beautiful technology but very heavy when folded, battery life is horrible, the phone runs hot, the os from outside screen is different from inside screen and some apps will restart.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful tablet like display Recently got the z fold 3. The updates to the software is helping make the inner display more tablet like. Nice to be able to use an s pen. The only thing that would make this better would be to make the front screen larger more like the shape of the note. Then the aspect ratio would be bigger and fit entertainment apps better. This would allow more multitasking, possibly allow for the device to be thinner make the crease less noticeable and the outer screen more like a regular phone. Then if s pen was able to be used on the outer screen as well this could be the ultimate 2 in 1 foldable device. I really like that I have a phone and tablet in 1 constantly with me. Nothing better out there with this combination of form factor and software.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not good enough to make me give up my Note 20 I was looking for a reason to give up my Note 20 Ultra but I just couldn't do it. The negative: The front screen is tall and narrow so the end effect is that the screen functions much smaller than it feels like it should. The inside screen is great but it isn't really possible to open it quickly with one hand so basically you have a tablet when you are at rest and a too-small screen when you are up and about. The s-pen doesn't work on the front screen which is the primary way I would use it... Pulling it out quick to jot down a note and putting it right back in my pocket. Not being able to do that is a big knock against the fold for me. No micro SD slot is a bummer but not a deal breaker. The battery life is pretty bad. It is really expensive. The Positive: The speakers are incredible for a phone. The inside screen looks great. The phone is sturdy and we'll built. It has a lot of power and multitasks really well. I really do miss it a little after sending it back but it doesn't make sense to give up my Note for a less functional phone (for how I use it) that is so much more expensive. If there was a bigger front screen that you could use an s-pen on I would keep it for sure. If it was cheaper I might run with it for a while and I had thoughts of paying full price just to keep my Note as insurance but I bit the bullet and sent it back.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unique Device In a world where all smartphones look the same this one changes things. The folding design keeps your more productive and after experiencing 120 hertz you can't go back. Two gripes I have for this phone is the battery life and being unable to have power saving mode and 120 hertz active at the same time. Secondly I dislike how cases fit on the top half of this phone but I don't think this can fixed.

My phone is jam packed with entertainment from live TV to streaming apps it's amazing and I haven't even gamed on it yet. Having my stocks split screen with cnbc playing is huge for me as well . Having the S pen built in the phone and making it lighter would be the only real improvements I can see happening besides your typical hardware software upgrades. Also I do think better cases would be cool for the fold . I've had palm pilots and those old windows touchscreen phones so I've been a sucker for techy phones all my life and this is definitely the industry leader in a tablet phone let alone it folding smh bananas!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely terrible experience !! I bought this phone less than 2 months ago brand new from an AT&T store. I cut the seals off the box myself, so I know it was new. After a few days of use, I noticed there were issues intermittently with not having service, even on wifi. After 3 weeks and talking to tech support, my phone was sent to Samsung for repair. 2 days after receiving the "repaired" phone, I noticed the exact same issue. I called Samsung and spoke to several representatives, was hung up on eventually sent the phone back again. After a week I was notified it was unrepairable and a refund was in the process. This is only my 2nd Samsung phone and I'm starting to wonder if I will ever buy another one. Very bad impression of this foldable phone, bad customer service, bad experience in general.

Years back with the only iphone I've owned in my life, I was hoping for a bigger phone. Voila, the Note was introduced and I was so happy. I had been wishing for a tablet phone since about 5 years ago and it's now a reality!!!

I can't wait!!! Very happy with my phone!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from incredible Piece of Innovation The Galaxy Fold 3 is an outstanding device. It took everything from the previous models and enhanced them to another level. I love that Samsung continues to actually innovate every year and create these magnificent designs that no one else has perfected to the same degree as them. The Fold 3 may seem big or unorthodox because of it's design but I can assure you that it actually feels really great when holding it while browsing, using apps and typing with the split keyboard. It's also usable when closed with what I call the "3rd screen" which gives you the normal feel of what you would typically get with a smart phone. Overall I highly recommend the Galaxy Fold 3 to anyone looking for the next best device that will bring a breath of fresh air with it's uniqueness.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for Streaming, Gaming, and Multi-tasking! It took some getting used to when I first got it, but this phone truly is awesome! Most people have asked me "How do you even fit that thing in your pocket?" and I always tell them that despite the phone being a bit thicker than average when closed, it still fits fine in my pocket despite me having the famous small pockets that women's clothes always seem to have. Streaming is sooo much better on this phone! I usually always have something playing while I'm working on stuff either at home or in the morning when I'm getting stuff set up at work. The bigger screen is soooo nice to have. The small screen is useful too when I'm just trying to use my phone for Spotify and Google Maps while I'm driving. I know all Samsung phone's have the ability to have more than one app on the screen at once, but this phone makes multi-tasking so much easier. I only have two negatives for the phone to note: the small screen is just a bit too skinny, and the phone itself is slightly heavy. The ability to have a phone and table all crammed into one device is definitely worth those two prices though. I'm honestly surprised the phone isn't heavier with how big it gets when it's unfolded!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Much more than a smart phone This "phone" is absolutely amazing! This coming from a guy who was last in my world to even get a cell phone, and always last to upgrade. The Z Fold 3 is not just a smart phone. It's a computer. Since using this phone, I've been able to give away my laptop. It does everything I used to need a laptop for. With this "phone" I've been able to go totally paperless except when needing to print legal documents... and the Z Fold 3 easily connects with my HP Tango printer. The ability to run and display multiple apps simultaneously is a huge time saver when moving info between apps or trying to follow help screens while operating the corresponding app. With the Z Fold 3, I now live in a completely digital and well organized world with all my personal info, files, history, etc. in the palm of my hand. Thanks Samsung. And for those worried about the hassle of converting to a new phone... don't worry. I converted from an old Motorola moto z2 and all I lost was the configuration of my home screen...and I hear if you convert from Samsung to Samsung, you won't even lose that.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It could use a little updating I have had this phone for 2 weeks now. Love the duo screen front screen could be a bit more sensitive. I find I have to tap 4 or 5 times. It's a bit heavier than I was expecting. I'm supposed to get a $1000.00 trade in but haven't seen it hit my account yet. Need more time with the phone for a more accurate review.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Folding Screen Broke After Only 8 Months! I could not wait to get my hands on this phone when it first came out, and for the next 8 months leading up to the screen breaking it was my other half. While I find the front screen a little small for my liking, the functionality of the large inside screen was hands down the best part of the phone and was the reason I was trying to convert my friends and coworkers to Samsung. Unfortunately, on the morning of 4/11/2022, I opened my phone like I normally do and heard an audible crunching sound. This was the folding portion of the interior screen breaking, creating two equal halves. I was shocked as I didn't drop the phone leading up to this defect and treated it like gold. I called tech support twice, where I was told there was nothing I could do even though the phone is still under warranty. My third attempt allowed me to place a claim and I will return my phone under warranty. I will update my rating if this is handled properly as this is a huge letdown and far from the quality, excellence and durability I expected out of a flagship phone from a premier brand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Galaxy Fold 3 5G I bought this 9 months ago, in fact I bought two of them. One (my wife's) works fine. Mine has had a major issue. It will not maintain a WiFi connection. It started from day 1 but would literally shut down WiFi every hour or so and I would have to go into Settings and turn it back on. I have spoken to Samsung customer service and visited the Tmobile store and an authorized Samsung service center. I was told to wait for the next software update. We have had multiple software updates and none have resolved the problem. the latest Android update came through a few weeks ago and the problem got much worse. Now WiFi shuts down every 5 minutes. Samsung tells me the only way to resolve the issue is to send it in to them which they say will take up to 10 business days. I use this phone for my work and can not be without it for 10 business days. They say there is no alternative to resolve this. Totally unacceptable for a premium priced product like this. After years of only using Samsung this may be my last.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I will never go back to regular phones again! Best phone I have ever owned. Quality built. Flagship specs and performance to boot. There is nothing like using this phone. The size of the big screen is perfect size. The size of the phone folded is surprisingly easy to carry and high quality. It's bigger than a regular phone with a protective case when folded. The battery is more than adequate, and I watch a lot of video. I love that the in-screen camera is out of the way until you need it. It works well too. I use it for online meetings. The outer cameras are excellent as well. Honestly it's just a well polished phone, from the software to the hardware. The look on people's face when they see that magnificent looking big screen never gets old! Best phone I have ever used and I have owned a lot of devices over the years. It's a game changer. Well done Samsung. I love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great phone BUT I should give it 5-stars but there are some inconvenience where I had to reduce it a half star. Have had the Fold 3 with 512GB storage for 2 weeks now and still learning how to maximize my experience with it. The phone build is solid and I find it a great substitute to using a laptop when I am visiting different sites. Sure, I could carry my Samsung tablet and the cell phone but why have 2 devices? The positives of the Fold 3 have been mentioned by many reviewers but very few people mention the drawbacks. So I will only point out my negative experience here. Even with its drawbacks I plan to keep it as it has many more positives that make my life/work easier. Cons: 1. Typing messages, if your stylus clicks on outside the message window or outside the keyboard, all your unfinished text disappears. There is no recovery for the unfinished text. I have lost several messages so am frustrated with that bug. My alternative is to use a Bluetooth keyboard to type so the stylus does not accidentally touch outside the field or keyboard. 2. Sometimes, phantom text appears in new text field and I'd have to go delete those before I type or receiver will think there is an error to message. 3. Phone calls. Using home WiFi calling failed terribly at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bandwidth connected to fiber router. The caller would break up and caller cannot hear me well. Switching off WiFi calling then resolved the issue. Calls are loud and clear without white gaps even if cell signal is 2 bars. 4. Transferring all my apps and data from older Samsung using Samsung's Smart Switch app via USB-C cable did not work that well. Did it twice and both times had similar results where not all my configurations, less than 30% of the apps transferred and even the apps that transferred (none of smart home and banking apps transferred); and for apps that transferred not all their contents were transferred (specifically Duolingo, Memrise, Whatsapp and WeChat) so I have to perform back up from old phone and transfer to Fold 3. 5. Oddly, not all contacts were transferred but when I installed new Google Contacts it pulled all my contacts together. 6. The Fold 3 is 'heavy' so when reading it for long time, the holding hand does get tired. I wish there is a protective case where the hand does not have to be like a bear trap holding on to the phone (I do not want to drop this expensive gear). 7. The Stylus Pro. Wish it came with the phone. After spending almost $1900 for the phone and case I could not justify the Stylus Pro. 8. Flip cover. Like the cover and the pocket for holding the Stylus. However, I can see why there are so many complaints about the cover. The front cover only protects the front glass screen from scratching. It will not protect the glass screen when it falls as it will open up. There is no magnet to hold the front cover closed. The Fold 3 is hard to open (I can't open it with one hand) so might as well have the front cover be more secure. I am contemplating a new cover where there is finger loop, and Stylus Pro holder (is there one out there?)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The everything phone/ tablet! I bought the fold 3 A month ago and I couldn't be happier. After carefully considering trading in my Samsung Galaxy note 20 ultra 5G I am glad I made the decision. I use the phone heavy 120 hz refresh rate 100% screen brightness and the battery last all day. If you're looking for a different android experience or If you're a team iPhone and wanna try something new and exciting make the switch.. I use both android of android and iPhone. I currently use an iPhone 12 pro Max and prefer the Samsung Galaxy fold 3. There are things samsung can't do that iphone can and vice versa. I buy my phones so switching was easy. 1800 is a lot for any phone but since they gave me $750 and had a week to give it back I thought if I don't like it I can return it. I use the samsung dex feature for presentations and work emails. This phone is a beast!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Will never buy another Samsung product again I bought this phone on my Samsung Finance plan and before the first payment is due the inside folding screen is broken. It has not been dropped of abused. There are small magnets inside the phone that attract metallic dust particles to the screens causing the screens to become scratched or damaged. Contacted Samsung Care and replacement phones are on back order, after 3 weeks or 14 business days they are supposed to buy the damaged phone back if a replacement is not available. Contacted Samsung directly and they say of I ship the phone to them they will have a technician look into repairing it - so what do I do for a phone while I'm waiting for it to be repaired? "I'm sorry Sir, maybe your cellular provider will give you a loaner?". Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Now the phone itself. When I first saw it in the phone store I said "that is cool, I must have one." But it is an awkward phone to use; making and receiving calls is awkward because you have to open up the case to see who is calling then place it next to your ear with the case flap flapping in the wind. Sending texts with the phone folded is a chore because the characters are so small you continuously "fat finger" the characters. This phone looks cool or neat, but it is awkward and inconvenient to use. JUST GIVE ME MY OLD NOTE 20 BACK!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the form factor I love this phone, it is really a nice change from your typical form factor. It is great when folded with a narrower display that fits better in the hand. It is great unfolded for when you have more time and are in a more relaxed environment. The hinge works very well and the screen crease is easily forgotten. The biggest drawback is the cases and pen integration. Any protective case I have tested so far seems cheap and is not protecting the device well, especially the front display. The fact that there is no way to attach the pen means that it stays home most days. It would be nice if the device design process had included the cases and pen. They feel like after thoughts and really not well executed. (See the low star counts on pen+case reviews)

For those who want a all in one piece of phone merged with a tablet. OLED displays are crisp for movies and pictures. Kind of a gas hog tbh honest if you use the tablet open all day but a high speed charger negates that. On my second one only because my toddler dented the first one with out telling me( gotta love drawing apps for toddlers). Spotify is a little buggy but thats there app not the phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The phone is a great idea, bad execution with batt Had the phone 7-8 months & phone has flaws. This phone is great for editing pix & vids. Great surface area too. The bad. The battery is HORRIBLE. I get a 3 hours of use maybe & that's about it, I have to keep charging the phone every 3-3.5 hours. I NEVER leave the phone connected overnight. I even tried their "protect battery" setting for a month & it just made it worse. I could only use the phone for 2 hours maybe because it wasn't a full charge. This phone needs a minimum of 5500mah battery. That would be DOPE! After a couple of weeks of owning this phone I started getting "no network service" or "no internet connection". I couldn't access internet, ex: Chrome, FB, & Subway. TMo, did their troubleshooting to tier 3 & said it was the device. Doing a reboot sometimes fixes it. Did a factory reset, no change. I'm extremely disappointed w/lack of battery performance & manufacture's suggestions. The phone also slows down to a stop sometimes. I have to reboot to fix it sometimes & that's with high performance turned on or off. It's a great idea but the phone needs a much bigger battery & to fix the random no internet connection. Fix those 2 things & this phone will be amazing. But how it is now is very disappointing. Keep in mind I'm a software middleware test engineer and I own a ton of Samsung products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This changed my expectations on new Phones I've now had my phone for about a month. Within the first day or two I realized I would never want to use a 'regular' phone again. Being able to have a mini tablet to view emails, scroll through various texts, view and edit pictures, even relaxing watching Video's, Movies or playing games. This is going to be the new expectation for most people who have a chance to use one of these. I'm coming from a Note 9, and it is anemic in it's usability compared to my Fold 3. When folded closed, it is a bit narrower than the Note 9, which makes one handed operation easier, and the added thickness does not feel bulky in my front pocket. It is a bit pricey. I consider it money very well spent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Do not buy I purchased 2 new Z-fold phones for my wife and I. After 32 days of service my wife needed to restart her phone for and update. After she restarted and folded open the phone, you could see the liquid in the screen at the fold. The phone had not been dropped and no signs of external damage. We contacted Samsung and they told us to send it to a repair center in Texas. We did and they claimed we damaged the glass. However the damage was internal not external damage. They want $570 to fix the new phone with no signs of external damage. They will not stand behind their product and I will not spend another penny to fix their problem. I suspect my phone will fail soon as well and I will not be paying to fix Samsung's faulty screen problem.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Inside screen is dead along the crease The phone is lovely to use when working. I also had the first Z Fold. The battery life was WAY better on the first model. About a month into using the Z Fold 3 the center crease started looking fuzzy and a couple of days later all the center pixels blacked out and the I side screen stopped responding to touch. After hours of doing diagnostics with on the phone service representatives, for what is obviously a manufacturers screen flaw, I now have to mail my phone in. It takes me hours to switch from pho e to pho e, and I'm massively disappointed in the defect in a phone I spent nearly $2000 on. I do live the usability of the large inner screen, that part of the phone was a delight when working. I just wish I hadn't splurged on the newest edition with the lousy battery and defective screen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Z Fold 3 4.1 star. I'll give it 5 start if the battery life could last longer and if they could do a camera upgrade on the underscreen camera and the front camera to atleast(Front:10 MP. PDAF, HDR) and also the rear cameras to Main camera:108 MP (OIS, Laser and PDAF)Specifications: Aperture size - The aperture of a camera is the opening through which light travels before it reaches the camera sensor. The smaller the number is, the bigger this opening is, allowing for more light to pass. Focal length - The lower (shorter) the focal length number, the wider the shot will be. Conversely, longer focal length cameras produce narrower frames, which can be used for telephoto (zoomed-in) purposes. Sensor size - A bigger camera sensor is able to capture more light, and thus produce better photos. Pixel size - The size of an individual pixel on a camera's sensor. The bigger, the better. Second camera:12 MP (Telephoto, OIS, PDAF)Specifications:Optical zoom: 5.0x; Aperture size: F3.0; Focal Length: 120 mm; Pixel size: 1 µmThird camera:12 MP (Ultra-wide, Autofocus)Specifications:Aperture size: F2.2; Focal Length: 13 mm; Sensor size: 1/2.55"; Pixel size: 1.4 µm

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Waste of Money! When I first got the phone, it was great, cool, new and worth the hype. Now that I have had it for 6 months or so and the screen has SPLIT down the fold and it is a 2 week process to have it repaired, (and while they repair it YOU HAVE TO BE WITHOUT A PHONE or BUY A NEW ONE) it is a complete nightmare. After a wasted trip to a Samsung Experience store (and a total insolent, rude and worthless manager) I am no longer a Samsung customer. They can keep their phones. If you are on the edge about this phone, do not buy it. It will crack down the fold of the screen. The repair place said they had about 20+ phones needing screens and it would be 2 weeks to get it repaired. Nice idea, but not so good in real life. I was a customer from the original Note to this crap of a folding phone and failure at servicing their faulty product. Never again. No No No.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Inside screen failure Loved the phone, but the inside screen starts to bubble than a black dead spot going down the middle of the screen, appeared and spread eventually causing the right side, not to respond Samsung customer service was absolutely horrible and they will do nothing to fix or replace it they offered to buy my z fold 3 that I initially paid $2000 for they would buy it back for $400. They also told me this is not a common problem but all the reviews and forms says otherwise even had a friend with the same exact issue. again I love the phone, but there’s no way I would, buy it again knowing that it is a Samsung issue, and they refuse to take care of it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Device!! Love the device, especially the double screen. I also love the 12gb of RAM, and the speed of which it easily runs my game. Great device.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from BUY INSURANCE!!!! Inner screen broke with normal use well under the 200,000 folds / 5 years advertised. Still has the factory screen protectors, has never been without a case, never dropped, no water damage. And yet the inner screen is dead, area right down the center is black and right side doesn't work at all. Be sure to buy the insurance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great picture Had it for a year. Awesome phone although some phone protectors block extreme left buttons on front screen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best phone ever!!! I am beyond satisfied with this phone. I have been a Samsung user for over a decade. This is my first review not because I had bad experience with their products. However, because this phone is one of a kind, the updates since launch dramatically improved the phone. Big difference between the Z Fold2 and this one. I also have both the S Pen Pro and Fold Edition. They work great on this phone. Keep on the great work guys. #samsungforlife. Suggestion: Create a slot for the S Pen on a Z Fold. I know the previous is a challenging task.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Don't buy it The phone is great. The screen is not so great. I have 2, and both have had a screen cracked down the fold. Samsung did pay/cover the cost for 1 to be replaced. But I would not but the Z3 or another one!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not completely satisfied I have this phone about 3 weeks after it was replaced. The original phone a had a problem with center line of the open face. Do like the speed and the full screen but not to keen on having to replace it to often.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from You should pass on purchasing a Z Fold 3 5 G Initially, I was enthralled with this device... however, if things present themselves to be too good to be true... they typically are. After about a year and a half of use, it is beginning to develop cracks in the crease of the interior screen. Bummer. I would not buy a similar product until they can fix the issue with normal use cracking.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Manufacturing Flaw in Fold 3 phone I bought this phone about year and half ago. Now it has developed a black line at fold of large screen. Right side of the phone does not work. It is clearly a manufacturing defect. This phone has been marketed as ""Fold" and as I see its fold feature has essentially gone after such a short time. Samsung store failed to acknowledge that this phone is defective and asked 576 dollars for repair. I am surprised! Samsung should stand behind this expensive product and don't cheat customer who bought this phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The fold 3 is not a durable phone! I bought this phone on preorder and received the original unit in August 2021 along with a 3 year care+ warranty. Do not buy a folding phone without an extended warranty!!! That phone lasted 6 months before the inner screen started having dead pixels. Samsung replace it next day and that phone lasted 12 months before the inner screen protector started peeling away at both ends of the crease. The replacement phone was defective out of the box and nobody at Samsung seems to care. I contacted the Care+ team and while they spoke on the phone, chat boxed and emailed nothing has been done about the defective unit that Servify sent me as a replacement. Yesterday morning the care+ phone team told me to take it to my local ubreakifix store and when I got there for the appointment they told me they would have the phone 48+ hours waiting or Samsung approval even though Samsung Support is who told me to take it to them for repair. They have been horrible over this issue! Even with the most current updates many times when I open the phone the folders remain super small as do the icons. I've reported this issue several times to support but no solution has been offered. Face unlock is also the slowest I've ever had using both the outside and inside cameras. Do not buy a folding phone!!!!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Almost a hit After 5 months, I woke up with a big black line down the middle when it's open. Had to jump through hoops to get Samsung to fix it. When i got it back, if you open it the outside screen no longer works and it needs to be re booted. When you do use the inside screen and close it, the light stays on draining my battery. I just got it back from repair and it's already going back in again!! What a headache!! And I've only had it 6 months! When the phone functions properly, I love it! I'm a 10+ year loyal Samsung customer, won't be getting another Z fold.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good phone, just needs to be bigger I've had this for more than a year and it has worked well. Just wished the size of the phone (folded) was the same size at the S22, so that when you unfolded it it was actually twice as big as the S22.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome phone until.... Bought the samsung galaxy z fold 3 a bit more than a year ago. Just loved the phone! Until inner screen just cracked yesterday. And now a big black ligne appeared in the middle rendering it unusable! To be known this wasn't my everyday phone so it is not like I wore it down by heavy use since I only used it at home after work. A lot of people seem to have the same problem and it looks like samsung is refusing to admit that their product is faulty!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worse phone I have ever had STAY FAR AWAY. Had this phone 14 months, the inside screen started to peal in the center of the screen, then one day the entire center of the screen went black. Thankfully had the protection for it, but still cost me $150 for a deductible to do a swap for it. I can not now wait to get rid of this total piece of crap. $2k for a phone that lasts just over a year ? Highly suggest ANYONE looking, do NOT buy a fold, I waited till Fold3 thinking they would have figured out any 'bugs' from the previous versions. Big mistake. Should have waited even longer, maybe by the 12 generation they will figure it out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not worth the money. Not worth the money. Front screen is too small. Unfolded screen isn't right for watching anything. Most apps cant be folded or unfolded. Most apps don't work right on the front screen. Requires a completely different pen than the notes. Whole slew of terrible design decisions. Cant find a replacement protector that doesn't degrade the picture. All the cases seem to require being taped on, so don't expect to clean your phone regularly. I should have bought a phone and a tablet and saved some money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The foldable aspect is truly revolutionary I absolutely love my Galaxy Z Fold3 5G! The foldable aspect is truly revolutionary and makes it so convenient to carry around. The cameras are top-notch and take stunning photos, and the pen is an indispensable tool for taking notes and getting things done on the go. I highly recommend this phone to anyone looking for a cutting-edge device with great versatility and functionality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from null Great performance like all the samsung phones that I owned for 13 years and never have a problem but after a year of use the screen orotector for the big screen start to lift right in the middle of the screen after a week or so the screen it self start to malfuction black line in the middle and days later right side touch screen not working. I never droped my phone so I beging to worry. Then I read this page and notice many customers with the same issue. I went to sansung store and they told me that for sure I droped the phone and this could happend weeks after that ????,?? and even if was on the year warranty can not be cover because the screen is one unit with the front screen and is really expensive???? I got insurance and unfurtanelly I paid $300 to get another one before I see all this reviews. Really worrie about happen again and another $300 every year make the most expensive phone that I ever paid.
