Love the versatility. Dislike narrow w/ folded
I really wanted the ability to read a mini tablet wherever I go. On the supermarket checkout line. While traveling. It meets that desire. But I'd like it to be even wider than the Z Fold 4. And it should have a stylus silo. Stylus should be included.

Fantastic Device
I bought this as a pre-order and have been using it every day since. I use it for personal use and work and it hasn't let me down for either. I also fly quite a bit and the convenience that it provides by saving me from lugging around a laptop or tablet is priceless. I can't see myself every going back to a regular phone.

If you're interested this is the one!
Once you have a foldable phone it is extremely hard to go back to that small candy bar form factor. It's literally like having a regular phone slightly on the thin side with the fold 4, but also at any time you want having a small tablet. If you use your phone for entertainment / social media it makes the experience unbelievable.

Far superior from past flagships
This phone has been an absolute masterpiece. I've only had 1 issue and it wasn't able to complete a call...it would immediately end. Simple restart fixed it. Phone is durable. I must flip it open 100x daily. No signs of wear. I removed inner factory screen protector and the naked screen is so tough it doesn't have not 1 tiny scratch and I've been using it like this for 4 months.
Well done Samsung

I bought this about a year ago, and the device works great. Be careful though, the inner screen is not durable at all. The first one cracked when opening at 6 months. Samsung did replace it that time under warranty. However the replacement cracked again after 4 months of use the same way. At this point the warranty has expired and most repair shops want $500+ to replace the inner screen.

Best in class computing
I bought this product as I switched from Note10+ because of the s-pen functionality and a larger foldable screen. It has been my daily driver for almost an year and more. I love taking notes in it while in a meeting or if my wife is giving me a shopping list. It's serving me well in camera as well because I love taking photos and videos of different objects, nature, and food. It gives a vibrant image and I'm never running out of space because of the 512gb storage.

I've had this phone for more than 3 weeks and absolutely love it! My previous daily driver was the Note 20 Ultra. I didn't know how the Fold concept would work for me but it has turned into an amazing experience! The bright displays are super responsive. Using the big screen with multiple apps open expands my productivity in surprising ways. Absolutely love this device!

I've had this phone a little over a week and LOVE it. I like the big screen! Wish the processor was better like the Note20 and wish it had a SD card, but still happy with the change. Also would like more phone case options, could only find basic colors. Would like to see feminine cases. If I like the case, it makes the bulk of the phone easier to deal with.

Outstanding phone and features
Honestly, I love this phone. Traded in a Note 20 Ultra and was worried at first. After a month, there is only one thing I miss: the Note 20 camera. While the Fold 3 has a good camera, the Note had the best digital camera I ever used. I love photography, and this is just a personal opinion.
Battery wise, by utilizing a few Bixby scripts I am able to get a full day of use without turning off any advanced features. I typically get 16-18 hours of on time with 5-6 hours of screen on time. Obviously, after heavy video use or gaming a charge will be required.
What I don't miss about the Note: it's size. You forget how big that phone is after using the Fold for a while. Before sending in my trade, I used the Note for a bit and it demonstrated how nice the new front screen layout is on the Fold. The Note was oversized and typical didn't fit into a pocket comfortably. The Fold, even with its depth, fits perfectly into my pocket. I find the front screen very comfortable to use for quick items: texts, emails, and obviously calls. When I need more detail, I flip it open and view things full sized.
The Fold is awesome to use both at work and at home. Being in construction, plans on this bad boy look awesome. The best part is seeing reactions on other professionals when you open it up and show off the beautiful big screen. "What is that" is heard very often! Hopefully an integrated S-pen can make it into future designs for daily use, even on the front screen.
Multi-tasking is so nice. 3.1.1 exceeded all expeditions I had. Using pop up windows and split tasks launched front the edge panel makes this phone best in class in my opinion. Being able to pull web sites open on different screens and email / texts utilizing reading panes is so productive.
Obviously, Samsung can make this phone perfect by increasing battery size, integrating the S-Pen, and giving us a flag ship camera. But as it is, it is still the best mobile device I have ever used. The only real compliant I had with this: no power charger and no headphones on a flag ship device that cost a small fortune. Come on Samsung! An accessory or two would've been nice. I guess I should just appreciate such awesome technology.

Solid phone so far
It's been about a week that we got the phone. So far it's a really good phone. Went from iPhone back to Samsung process was seamless and a lot better than going to an iPhone. It feels great in the hand. The crease in middle is kind of obvious from the sides but it's non existent from straight forward.

The coolest, most reliable, most useful phone ever
Where do I start. For 4 years now I've been a hard-core Samsung Note fan. I've always loved the bigger screens and the features packed inside each phone. However, the Zfold is literally an all in one phone/tablet. The phone packs some serious performance specs, and although the camera isn't the best on the market, the differences are hardly even that noticeable compared to some of the other phones that boast about their cameras. Can those phones take a photo, remaster the photo, and then view it in a larger screen all at once? No. The Zfold can though. On top of that, having 3 apps opened at the same time is proving to also be a very useful feature I never knew I needed.
I have to admit, the more I use this phone, the more I fall in love with it. 500GB internal storage, 12gb RAM. This phone is insanely powerful. Oh and let's not forget the super fast charging. I've fully charged my phone in an hour at 15 percent. I've never been able to do that. There seems like nothing this phone can't do. If you're thinking of getting a new phone, than go with the Zfold. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Amazing
I got my phone from Verizon and did not think I would like it. However, I love this phone and the sleekness that comes with it too. I did buy a case for it as I treat all new gadgets with respect. I am disappointed with the lack of the SD card, but I (a) I move pics, videos, etc., to my One Drive. That will save on space as I do not want to fill up the 512GB overnight. Also, I keep my charger with me due to the phone's battery life (it drains quickly), but that is my fault for sometimes I leave apps running in the background. However, that is a quick fix by putting sleep apps I no longer use. I did not mind the price either as well as I ditched my iPhone for this phone. I will get one for my significant other and a Stylus Pen S (out of stock, I think). Thanks, Samsung

Best of both worlds but still slightly flawed.
Got my Fold 3 with some other items last month. Coming from an iPhone 12 Pro Max and a Note 20 Ultra before that. A week after I got the iPhone, I knew I'd be back on a Samsung device. While my Note 20 was still fairly new, I wanted something unique. I was also looking at getting another iPad since I sold my old one last year. Low and behold, the Fold 3 comes out and checks most of the boxes on my list. It's not exactly as feature packed as my Note was but still pretty good. Not to mention I'm not even looking for a tablet anymore.
Pros
Opens up to a small tablet form factor that's great for media consumption. (Mostly what I use my phone for)
S pen support (Note taking capability along with the larger display is why the Note Series has been my go to since the Note 2)
Waterproof
Matte black color is soo much nicer than last year's glossy look
Cons
No 1TB option
No sd card support(WHY?!)
Outdated camera
5000mah battery at minimum (current one drains way too fast)
Outer display is a little too narrow for my liking. I'd like to use the outer display as a Note sized phone when folded.
It's got its flaws but it's a great device overall. Although, with this being THE premier folding device on Samsung there shouldn't be any faults. When an older Samsung phone (S21 Ultra) has better features than the Fold 3, somethings wrong. I'd gladly pay +2k for the Fold 4 if it had everything the Fold 3 has plus fixed what I listed as cons.

Great Hardware, OK software
Used this phone for a week now as a longtime iOS user. This hardware is superior to any phone I've ever had before, but the experience with 3rd party apps hasn't been as good. Even ones supposedly optimizes for the Fold like YouTube just have annoying bugs where certain gestures dont always work or the app freezes, etc. It is still very useable though.

Excellent phone for productivity! The durability and technology has come a long way since the Fold's first iteration and I believe at this point that the Fold series is affordable and durable enough to become mainstream. The only problem I have with this phone is that the cameras are a downgrade from my Note20 Ultra

This is my first time trying something unique like this and am mostly an Apple user. I'm very impressed overall! Of course with this phone there are some drawbacks - an only ok camera system, durability concerns, and the crease in the screen.
But this is a special phone, one that nobody else has an answer to in the US at least. And it wows everyone that sees it, Android and Apple fans alike. This is an awesome phone. You know the drawbacks going into it.

Unbelievable beast
Pre-ordered this phone a couple days after it went live. Got it a couple days early. It's an absolute powerhouse. I used to worry about my battery life, charging my old phones every chance I got. This one I forget all the time and it's still kicking even if I left it at 20% overnight. Slapped a spigen Air Skin on it just to protect from scratches. The hinge seems looser after less than a month of use but it feels better this way. Still solid, no wobble. The front screen is great, I'm typing this review on it. The inside screen feels like glass. I can't tell the difference between the two screens even though the inner one has an extra protective layer over the glass.
Multitasking is still taking some getting used to. I'm a 3 computer monitors kind of girl, so I'm trying to develop the same attitude with this phone. Some apps are a little buggy on the big screen, but still work. Chrome on the inside screen is amazing with the desktop style tabs.
This is an amazing device and I'm glad I pulled the trigger on it!

Totally Awesome Phone!
This new Z Fold3 is amazing. It has a comforting solid feel from the added weight of the aluminum case. The displays are so crisp and clear and the big screen is like being at the cinema :) I've only had it for a week but I've fallen in love with it. It's fast and smooth and setup with all my other Samsung devices was seamless. So far it's been perfect except for a problem on T-mobiles end getting it activated. (it their tech support 5 days) something about their sim card compatibility. Might have to switch carriers since I purchased the unlocked phone. Thanks Samsung for the innovative new product! I hope the big screen holds up to the rigors of being folded which I heard was a problem on the Fold2.

Love the concept
I love the concept of the folding phone. It is a little too thin while folded for me, I expected it to be wider, like a normal phone, and little larger when opened. It functions properly and is nice to open to a larger screen for viewing etc. There is a slightly noticeable crease when opened but it doesn't really bother me.

I finally decided to upgrade my Galaxy Note 9 and went for the Z Fold3. It's a whole new experience with this phone and it's amazing. Being able to watch my videos and play my games as well. It makes for an awesome GPS in my car and being able to have a movie play for my baby. This phone does so much and I'm still learning how to use it and what I can do too. This works well for work as well. If you're looking to upgrade this is the route to go.

Great productivity driven phone!
I've been using the Note series for years now, for their features that allowed a power user to get their work done efficiently. So, when I saw Samsung brought the S Pen to the Fold, I knew I had to try it out for myself. Almost a month later, and I'm glad I did! Having the screen realestate to effectively work on multiple apps at once is great and works much better than even the largest of candybar screens. Sure I wish the S Pen worked on the cover screen, but it's not a huge issue to me. While some bemoan the cameras, I'm a professional photographer and I've yet to actually take any real photos with the Fold, other than just playing around with it. All in all I love it!

Don't think I can ever go back to another phone format after using the Z Fold3. The bright, beautiful large screen makes everything so much easier to view on a phone. Font is larger on emails, texts, etc. Easier to type...just a pleasure to use. Folds up so slim, can still fit in a shirt or pants pocket; even with a leather case on the Z Fold3. Netflix, Youtube, etc., all a pleasure now as well as letting your phone act as a bright compact Kindle for reading. Great job Samsung!

Not ready for Prime Time
I've been a tried and true Galaxy Note model from the release of the first model. After the debacle with the Note 8 I was left with the lesser Galaxy. That being said the fold is not a note and to that extent it's not a Galaxy level device.
The Z Fold suffers from the classic form over function paradigm. The device is like a beautiful architectural art piece that's beautiful in its design but you're left wondering if it's worth the lack of function.
Back to my initial point of it not being a Galaxy. The cameras on the Note Ultra and S21 Ultra easily outpace the unit on the Z Fold. This is one of the biggest reasons owners of newer devices even consider upgrading. The units on the Z Fold aren't premium enough to ever consider switching from even the older Ultra device.
The one place the Z Fold shines is that big beautiful OLED display, but again it feels like something is missing. There's no adjusting the inside display except for a slight tweak to the refresh rate which doesn't seem to make much sense because the default is suppose to auto adjust.
Back to the function paradigm and what ultimately made me give up on the device. Trying to type on the device is utterly infuriating. While typing with two hands on the inside display it will jump out of the app either by the accidental pressing of the back button or the multi task buttons at the bottom left and right of the display. I attempt to adjust the spacing and location of the keyboard but could never find a comfortable setting. The outside screen is even worst as the design pushes it slightly right off center closer into my palm as a right hander.
An additional step back on function, is going back to a time where an accident dunk in water doesn't end our devices. As an avid jogger and a gym fanatic I always worry that my sweaty shorts or steam room trips will lead to the early end of my device. I understand the device is splash resistant but when a device isn't completely sealed from the elements it means no more beach days or pool side photos for me.
The final issue is the weight of the device. While not an issue when caring in my pocket but when jogging or trying to have it held in a car mount there's none so far that will work with the device.

Works well when Folded and on Unfolded big screen
No regrets on this foldable phone. Expands to bigger screen as needed. Work well both Folded or Unfolded on daily tasks

What an upgrade from the Note 10+
Amazing phone. Great speed, sturdy construction, and it never gets old doubling the screen size. The fingerprint reader is quicker and more accurate that the underscreen reader I used to have. Battery life lasts all day with 16-18 hrs on and 5-6 hours SoT. No regrets, just wish we had the dual and eSIM here in the US. Also. I miss my SD card slot a bit, but not a dealbreaker.

Longtime Samsung Galaxy customer loves this!
I've had my Galaxy Z Fold since August 27th. My last phone was the Galaxy Note 20. I'm still learning and getting used to all of the ins and outs, but on the whole I'm glad I made this upgrade.
I will be happy when there are more accessories available for the phone. I got the Flip cover with S Pen - and I'm very glad I got it for the S Pen - but the cover itself is not my favorite. I'd like to see a cover that has something to help you hold the phone, like a ring or a handle, and also has a place for you to put the S Pen.
The only other thing I was disappointed about is that the S Pen only works on the unfolded screen - it doesn't work on the front screen.

Im studying and this is perfect for it. I wish the phone was a little wider so the closed mode was more usable. How much would it have been to add 1 cm? Or maybe a better camera? Either way its fun.

Has Pluses and Minuses...
I'm coming from a Note 10+ so that is what I'm comparing it to. (Used it as my trade-in.)
Pluses: Large screen. Faster. Fingerprint reader is better.
Minuses: Battery life is shorter, even when mainly using the front, smaller screen. Samsung music no longer supports WMA files (my Note 10+ had no issues). I have the S Pen Pro. I don't always carry it with me since there isn't a slot for it like on the Note 10+. When I get back in range of it, MOST of the time I have to un-pair/re-pair it to be able to use the Air features.
And for me the biggest minus is that a lot of the apps for the phone don't handle the bigger screen. Yes the Fold 3 now has a Settings -> Advance -> Labs setting that you can adjust aspect ratio but that doesn't always work. A couple of my apps will not switch between screens closed to open and visa versa.
Samsung needs to get software developers on board to take advantage of the features of this phone.

Great screen, not so great battery life
Love the device so far, hinge is smooth and outside screen is extremely usable. There is nothing like being able to unfold it to look at something or watch a video while reading on the same device. However, battery life hasn't been great, not sure if I have a rogue app or something buty note 20 ultra was much better and that's even on days when there is minimal big screen usage.

Truly love this phone!
Got this phone on the release date, had my reservations wasn't sure about it without a dedicated spot for the Spen. However the Spen works flawlessly on the large fold screen, I can take notes and screencaps just like with all my notes.
The folding screen is amazing you have to turn on the lab features and set up the apps to rotate for the fold otherwise some of them will not auto-rotate to use the entire screen. The photos the rear cameras take are AMAZING!!!! You can set it up to show you the pictures as you take them with a preview pane. You can set the front screen up to show you, your selfies amazing features for the camera. The screen quality is also amazing the picture is fantastic for watching movies and playing games. The one feature that I was not expecting and was blown away by was the audio. The speakers are so loud the loudest I have ever had on any phone.

A tablet with a phone built in
I got my Z Fold 3 a few weeks ago, and I was honestly skeptical at first. I was worried about the durability, and the practicality of carrying such a large device. However, after my time with it I can definitely say it was worth it. Being able to have such a large screen for watching videos, playing games, and even doing schoolwork with my S Pen. I've found that durability is actually surprising on the Fold 3, I don't feel super worried about damaging the screen with my fingernails, it feels rather tough. I even let a toddler play on it, and he definitely didn't treat it nicely. No marks on the plastic screen whatsoever. My only nitpicky issue is battery life. I can get through a full day, but I will be almost dead by the end of the day. Coming from a Note 10+, I had about 7 and a half hours of screen on time, and on the Fold I get about 6 hours on average. Not a huge deal, I have a wireless charger at my desk to keep it topped up now. But overall, I love this device and I can't see myself ever going back to a traditional non folding phone.

Needs Improvements
I bought this phone about a week ago. One thing I don't like about this phone is that the battery life is too short. I wish this phone comes with a bigger battery. Secondly, there is a very visible crease in the middle of the screen which is very annoying. Next, the screen size is not large enough for me. It's only 7.6" big while other foldable phones such as Huawei and Xiaomi have foldable screen at least 8" big.

Best phone I have ever owned!
I have been very excited for months waiting for this phone to come out. I was also very nervous, but those feelings have been put to rest. The phone is super fast with great features. Screen is amazing. (both) One of my biggest concerns was durability, but it seems to be just as durable as any other phone so far. The battery lasts all day. I usually have 30% or more remaining by the time I go to bed. Only complaint was the flip s pen holder. it is an awful design. I switched to the leather case and it makes the phone absolutely perfect.

The phone that really can do it all!
I pre-ordered this phone after having Note + phones for the last several years. I also bought the s pen case. We are doing a refinance and I'm able to do all the paperwork right from my phone and send it back, signed and all, without printing, faxing or mailing. It's amazing for streaming videos and playing games. Also, when looking online at websites in desktop mode, it is so much like my laptop, you can barely tell the difference. Plus, it is so unique, everyone wants to check it out. So far, I'm really loving it!

Cool phone
I bought this phone for the 21 day trial and I was to happy with the phone. The screen was great but the battery life was horrible and the front screen I felt was useless if you have big fingers. I couldn’t use it it so I had to open up to the big screen to write out a text and that can get annoying after a while. My honest option it wasn’t worth 1700 plus.

Excellent innovation and awesome phone!
I have had multiple Samsung phone's in the past my last was the Note 9, so looking at this phone was a jump but nothing huge. I read up on the specs and watched some youtube videos. But the phone itself was more than I could have hoped for! Beautiful screens, the ability to use the pen with it is a plus coming from the note as I did alot of notes and sketches using the pen. Having the ability to open the phone like a book helps, when reading important documents/emails but also easy to watch movies or read my comix. The price is a little more than most phone's but Samsung finds great ways to cut the cost, and for all the benefits you receive well worth every penny.

I do upgrade regularly and stupid not have updated from note 20 ultra but it was getting very very hot and thought might internal issues figured I wouldn't want pay 980$ but then I thought I get the fold buds 2 cheap silicone case no prob and 50% of Galaxy watch 4 I could not pass that up best offer ever. However there's 1 thing I hate and no it's not the crease I gotten use to it where I don't hardly notice unless it's very bright. It's no expandable MICRO SD WHY WHY I WOULD HAVE GIVEN 5 STAR.

I love my Galaxy fold 3 it is very luxurious compared to the regular smartphones to date it has high end specs the design is priceless I love how samsung drop the price from the previous fold but it's all worth it plus it's even more durable and flawless it's a must have if you want to stand out from the rest! Cameras are very good plus a hidden under display camera good for video chats having a mobile phone that turns into a mini tablet is the best! And you can also use the s pen I love it so much I keeping my Sim card inside it I would highly recommend this product from samsung

If you're looking for a large screen to take with you on the go then this is it. I will say if you're looking for the absolute best camera out there this phone isn't the one. This phone is for those who want a more productive device. That being said the camera is still great just not the best on a smartphone currently.

Only one flaw
I love my new foldable phablet; however, the folding/unfolding process could use some work. The phablet doesn't unfold easy enough to hold it anywhere. Your fingers slip, if you don't fold and unfold near the finger print and volume button area. This causes the phone to be put to sleep, if you are viewing something on the front screen, and then try to open it to view the larger inside double screen.

Coming Z Fold 2 Thom Browne Edition, this upgrade experience was extremely mind blowing. Love the waterproof feature and in display camera. Phone is more faster and access to more storage.
This is my full time work phone and working on spreadsheet never made me miss my computer or tablet.
Secured with Knox, my data remains secured on phone. New 120hz outside screen is bliss. Now I can watch great streaming videos without opening to bigger screen. Samsung Thanks for keeping up with expectations I had with new Fold. Been using Samsung since past 16years, and never regret using it as my primary work phone.

Cutting edge
Traded my beloved Note 20 for the Fold 3. I figured that if I didn't like the Fold I could always get another Note. Except for the price and cameras, the Fold 3 is a great device but the jury is still out on if it is a sturdy phone, but so far so good.

Too Skinny when folded
I bought this because Samsung did not have a new Galaxy Note this year. It was supposed to have an S pen, which what I like about the note along with the big screen.
I was kind of disappointed when I started using the Fold3. When the phone is in the original folded state, the phone is really skinny and hard to see. I realize the phone is bigger when unfolded, but you cannot carry it around like that. The unfolded state is for sitting down and working in apps. Most use is with the phone in a folded/normal state.
Also, this phone is almost $2000 and it does not come with an S Pen.. If you buy an S pen, there is no place to store your S pen. S pens are not cheap and it seems like the addition of the S pen was an after thought. Just a note...I could not get an S Pen to work with my Fold 3.

Best phone I've owned.
Upgraded from a galaxy note 10+, which I believed was the best phone I've owned. I didn't think this phone would measure up to that level, but it has surpassed all expectations. The 120 hertz display is crisp and smooth, the dual stereo speaker with Dolby atmos support are clear and loud, and the big display offers bright media consumption for hours. Samsung knocked it out of the ballpark with the Galaxy Z Fold 3, and proved that foldable phones are here to stay.

The Amazing Folding Phone
I always wait at least a month of owning something before posting any review. That way I get a real chance to try and use all of the features and get past the honeymoon phase of owning a device. I want to first of all congratulate Samsung on a job well done. If you asked me a few years ago if I would even ever consider a folding phone to be practical I would have called you crazy. I am definitely very pleased with this phablet (yes I think we need to bring this term back with this phone). While I do not play a lot of games with this phone one thing that I love to do is reading and research. My previous phone was a Note 10+ so no small phone by any means but this Z Fold 3 shattered my expectations of how much screen real estate is available. Some people do not like how wide the screen is with the 4x3 ratio but I can tell you that when reading a book or researching online I can read about twice as much per page due to this ratio. And with the pandemic forcing a lot of gatherings to be virtual one unexpected benefit made itself well known and appreciated. When being in a book club or a study group being able to run multiple apps at once I was able to connect to the virtual meeting with the top half of the phone and have the bottom half in the book being discussed. This was a huge convenience feature that I now having experienced on this device would not want to be without. While I was slightly disappointed that the pen was not built into the device as it had been on my Note this particular device with the pen on the side in the case is not too off-putting. I did not upgrade to the S21 ultra though it offered Spen support because adding the pen to the width of that already massive phone made it unfeasibly large. However when folded this phone's slim profile allows for it to still easily fit in my pocket. After owning this device I will say that there is only one caveat that I have with it. The battery life. It is part of the double edged sword that having this massive display would also mean it would use more energy especially if you are using the 120hz refresh rate. If I was reading or doing a lot of research the battery would only get me between halfway to three quarters throughout the day. Other than this Achilles heel I would give the phone 5 stars. Even with this disappointing battery life However if there is a good sale I would still highly recommend getting this phone. Just be sure to plan out your charging points or get a battery pack if you use the phone a lot.

I've been waiting such a long time for this new innovation to merge a tablet and a phone. The convenience of not having to carry two separate devices is great. I've been using my G Zfold 3 a little over a month and it takes some getting used to as of any new technology. The added benefit of an S-Pen is genius because; I'm a galaxy note user. This device has everything I've needed in one device. I've really enjoyed using this device on a daily basis and will only buy galaxy fold devices from this point on. Good job Samsung. Glynn

Fascinating display
Inner display is the size of a mini tablet. Makes it very easy to handle mails and documents. Battery life is not too off from my S20 note ultra. I had thought it would be much heavier than the Note, but it doesn't feel so. Outer full screen is a full display and extremely convenient when you dont need multiple screens or review a lengthy document. I received good value for my trade in, thus my monthly installment did not change much. A definite 5 star.

Exceptional Device in a Surprisingly Compact Form
I bought the Z Fold 3 unlocked 512 GB device. Though I was skeptical at first but upon receiving it and using for two weeks, I can confidently recommend this phone to anyo who needs a big screen, wants to productivity work or even if want to consume some media. It's a jack of all trades. Yes, the inner screen needs extra care but as a premium device you will be taking it anyway. As a Note user ,I loved the pen support. Now, it's even better because of the bigger screen. Even watching movies are fun because of the big screen and the superb speaker. All taking with the loved ones using the inner bigger screen is just a pleasure. They feel right beside you when you look at the screen. On the productive side, multitasking is best in class and just feels natural. Can say enough good thing about the phone. Finally I think Samsung has show what form factor like Fold can bring to the table. I am just loving it.

Incredible feat of engineering!
Having used this phone for two weeks, and it being my first experience with a foldable device, I can say I don't see myself going back to a "normal" screen. The convenience of having both a phone and a tablet with s-pen functionality in the same device is amazing.

Great Idea for a phone but it is too heavy.
Phone works as it is advertised, BUT... It is a brick. It has 3 screens in a sense and when folded up it weighs a ton. That's the only reason I returned mine. Soon as they lighten it up I will by another one for sure. Love samsung products.

Fantastic Device!
I got this phone a month ago and it has so many features that I have not had a chance to explore them all. The fold edition S pen works on the extra real estate the unfolded screen provides. Too bad it doesn't work on the front screen as it would be helpful considering the front screen is narrower than most standard screens. All in all, a solid phone.

Amazing phone/tablet hybrid.
I traded laterally from a S21 Ultra. The memory was a 1 for 1 at 512 gigs, so no loss there. Even the downgrade of 16 to 12 gigs of ram is not noticeable for me.
The main question you will have to ask yourself, is do I value a bigger screen or better cameras? I don't take a ton of pictures on my phone and those i do, the cameras on the fold are perfectly acceptable. Sure i wouldn't have minded having the s21 ultra cams, however i realize this is a cost cutting measure. Perhaps a fold & fold ultra in the future with more ram and better cameras may be an option.
At the end of the day, this phone is truly impressive and I'd recommended it to just about anyone that needs the functionality of a tablet, with the mobility and size of a phone.
One more thing, yes the phone is a bit bulkier to no surprise of anyone. To me at least, i have not noticed this almost at all. The weight is very negligible and the collapsed size is smaller width wise than the s21 ultra i came from.
Overall, a great buy with the minor concession of having good cameras versus phenomenal cameras. Still, don't let that one item stop you from making a purchase or jump to this phone.

Great picture, horrible battery life
I "upgraded" from a 10 to a z fold 3. When folded the screen is small and hard to type on. When open it works fabulously but the battery life is HORRIBLE. I would recommend it only if you use your phone for emails and stuff. If just using for a phone and internet searches, stick with a note or S10.

I Love It ?
I just recently received it so It's still new to me. But I love it!!! I didn't expect this new innovative phone to have specs like my Notes series I love so because the Note itself has to grow into perfection. All that camera and line down the middle is crap. That's the least you notice unleash your some negative Nancy only looking for what to complain about If you love having a massive screen as an option , this is your phone. I wish I could go into more details but this typing stuff gets old, sorry lol In closing I'll say this. If having a 4k capability camera not enough for you then yes it's not for you. If the your a crease hunter, this phone may not be for you. But you like watching media or even a business Man/Woman this is perfect for you. Imagine getting work done on this massive screen. And then fold it and slide it your pocket or purse. What a convenience!!

Best device of 2021... Ditched Apple for Samsung
I switched from apple to Samsung. Can't put this device down. Beautiful form factor. Love the ability of splitting screens so excellent for multitasking. Only items I'd like to see in future folds are improved battery performance and built in pen feature. Other than that, this phone is amazing.

One big drawback for the phone is during zoom meetings I would like to semi fold the phone and watch the other participants but the camera is not set up in a way to do that. You need to fold the phone in a portrait fold and angle it so that I can be viewed.

Beautiful but bulky
Folding "screen" phones are a relatively new concept and after a very pleasant experience with the previous iteration of the Z-Flip, I upgraded to the new Z-Fold 3. I like having a full touch screen phone without ever having to unfold the phone to tablet form and its absolutely gorgeous when you do. Multi-tasking with multiple apps running in multiple windows is truly helpful. Watching movies is glorious and gaming quite imersive! The battery drains quickly though but thankfully recharges even faster. The S-pen experience is amazing. I wish it Included better cameras but they are acceptable. It's much bulkier than the Flip which is a solid and sexy phone but this one still is a head turner when it unfolds. I'm grateful for the price drop too.

Wow most eye catching device I own
Coming from an iPhone for my daily driver, I am so impressed how seamless the data transfer was. Love the form factor of the inside display. While still being able to take advantage of the cover display for simple tasks and calls. I am so happy I made the switch. Only improvement I would suggest is somehow have a storage option to have the S pen inside the phone.

Note 20 Ultra to Z Fold 3
I've had this phone for a few weeks and it lives up to the hype. I love the dual screens and the s pen. Samsung did a great thing with the fold. A few things I do wish it had coming from the note; expandable storage, this phone needs a micro SD slot. I bought the 512 gb version which is amazing but it definitely needs the extra storage. The camera is a lacking quite a bit. My husband has the s21 Ultra and the same cameras should have been put on this phone. If they had added those two things this phone would corner the market for everything. This phone is also quite durable except for with sand! It took me several days to clean the sand put of the hinge after a day at the beach.
Overall this phone has an amazing multitasking ability. I use it for invoicing, schoolwork and for fun.

Game changer.
Been almost 2 months. I can honestly say best device there is for Media Consumer, Gamer and Android. I got used to it very fast. And my normal Note 10 plus became too small instantly. MULTITASKING is literally two phones with 2 apps opened running all the time.120hz is amazing for someone who hasn't experienced it. Samsung Dex I will defend forever. Underrated feature. It got me reviewing and emailing Tech support on apps to encourage them to release features for this phone which I hope they do it only makes it better. The more competitive a new fold releases the better. For someone who's in IOS ecosystem I understand. There are apps around that. And IOS now supports FaceTime which works great here. Pricing can be better I admit. Hopefully Samsung can deliver on that.

Wave of the future
This phone is the wave of the future. Only more greatness can come.
The outer screen is on the thin side, but it is very useful for taking photos, quick text messages, web browsing and social media.
Once you unfold the phone. This is where it shines. The screen is bright and large.
Watching video streams is lovely. Everything is very easy to see.
The screen is smooth and hard even tho it has a pet screen protector on it. It feels nice to the fingers and then there is spen suppose.
Camera are nice. Not the best in the world but take great photos.
The phone is on the heavy side and a little thick when folded. But overall not to bad. Still fits in the pocket good.
Phone is packed with great multitasking software.
Overall things are great.
The only down side is the battery life. It seems a bit to low. Maybe it will improve with updates. But this is a great start.

Intuitive and multipurpose driven
I have only had the Z fold for less than 1 month and so far I Iove the features and response of programs. Some apps that
Do not work when you try and use them in the unfolded format. That is a disappointment but understanding this it is a work around. I will revisit the review after I have had more time to investigate the many features capabilities.

Great Value but...
This phone is awesome, I have it for a month and I love the big screen, a few pros and cons though...
Pros: big screen, water resistant, cheaper than previous fold.
Cons: low battery mAh, battery doesn't last long, you can still see the crease in the middle, camera not that great.
All in all this is an ok phone for me, I Hope the next foldable phone will come with a larger battery, and a nicer camera like s21 ultra.

Best phone yet!
Definitely the best phone I have owned, and not just because it can fold. The features that this phone offers are amazing, like its camera, display and refresh rate, storage, memory, and much more. Plus, in the time that I've used it, I've dropped it, had water on it, and nothing has scratched it or damaged it. Even with the folding and unfolding, there seems to be no creases or marks that indicate any damage. It is by far the greatest phone (in my opinion) compared to any of Samsung's smartphones to date.

Required new phone plan upgrade, damaged easily
I bought this hoping I could use it as a new phone because my cell plan forced 5g on us. Only after receiving the phone did my carrier tell me that it would require a cell phone plan upgrade.
I addition, I was worried about dust damage after receiving the phone. That combined with all the warnings about the easily scratched screen, subpar camera, fingerprint scanner, no place to store the s pen, and photos of people's phones having their displays dead on arrival convinced me to return the phone and purchase the s21 ultra.

First Samsung with Problems in Many years
Just purchased the fold 3, after having the note 20 ultra. Trying to get another phone as the fold is overheating so bad it is shutting down, the battery is draining after about 5 hours. The inner screen is an oily hair magnet, and you cant really hold the phone when it is open, I'm trying to get a replacment but samsung is a mess, two days going round and round with no resolution. Took it to a repair shop and they did nothing and just looked at the apps running -really. Now I am trying to get a replacment and the giant hassle begins as I am a few days over the "generous" 15 day return period!

Once you go fold, you can't go back.
I had Samsung Galaxy 21 Ultra and traded it in for Z Fold 3 and it was the best decision I've made. The large screen is great for reading anything and wonderful for multitasking. Their app to have multiple apps open and share the screen works really well. Watching multimedia is also a great experience. Only issue I have is that I wish the battery was bigger but it last long enough for a full day of usage. You just have to experience it for yourself and you will love it.

A new era on smartphones
I've owned several galaxy devices over the years and every time it was innovation after innovation. I got the z fold 3 and i felt like the first time I had a samsung galaxy note 1. Having the option of the larger screen is like having two devices in one. My mqom day goes on the front screen, but if I want to review a document, send an email or enjoy a show I use the internal display. Overall it is the top notch I'm smartphones this year and I will be getting more phones from this family in the upcoming years.

Great design and fast processor
I bought this when it first came out. I was a little worried that the folding design might cause the screen and resolution to be of inferior resolution, and that the design might cause functionality (processor speed) to be compromised. I am happy to report I was wrong! The screen is gorgeous, and this thing is faster than a speeding bullet! Another great thing is that when the phone is folded it fits perfectly in the pocket. Lastly, the screen is viewable and beautiful whether the phone is folded or unfolded. BRAVO SAMSUNG!

As an AVID Note User for years, I was so disappointed that they weren't making it anymore. I decided to give the Z Fold3 a spin since it now had the stylus pen option. I choose wisely! The pen works great! I also love the ability to use the big inner screen to watch videos and Social Media. If you are even remotely thinking of this fun, don't hesitate and get it Immediately!

Only 4mp Selfie cam!
Had I known the internal selfie cam is only 4mp vs the 12mp cam of the Fold2 I would not have upgraded. You can use the exterior screen to activate the outer 12mp cams for selfies, but the screen is so small it's hard to see the preview especially in bright lighting or outdoors. The 4mp camera is so poor in image quality.

I like the display and water-proofing, but y'all skimped us on battery life, lack of a silo for the S-Pen, cameras (including UDC) and charging speed.

Just AMAZED
Been waiting for the proper fold since the first generation was introduced. I gave my note 20 ultra and convince 10 other people to buy and converted some Apple fans to switch to the Fold 3 because of the features, the innovation, and overall experience of this phone. It's amazing and can't wait for the the 4. The Note line was amazing but the Fold definitely changes the game. Great job on this and I'll keep trying to bring others to experience the same innovation that myself is enjoying.

Love the larger screen
I bought this a month ago and I enjoyed the large screen. I loved how it was quick and easy to use. The smaller front screen was easy to type and use as well.
I didn't like the battery life and that I couldn't use my SD memory card. The phone took long to charge and the battery would run out so fast. The picture quality was terrible compared to the Galaxy. I could see the bend of the fold on the screen as well which was distracting. The phone was also too expensive.

Great phone when it's not defective
After owning both the Fold and Z Fold 2, I was looking forward to upgrading to the Z Fold 3. Although not a substantial change from the Fold 2, having IPX8 water proofing and the semi-hidden under display camera was welcome.
I received the new phone, copied over my apps and information, and everything was working well. The next day, after about 30 hours, I opened the phone looking forward to seeing how immersive the screen looked for gaming, but instead was greeted by a dark area along the crease. Oh No, after just a day, something was wrong with the screen. At this point the screen still worked but had the dark stripe down the center (see photo 1). This was a huge disappointment. The next day, I opened the phone to take some additional pictures of the issue and heard a crackling sound. Now, the area along the crease was completely black (see photo 2). The right-hand side of the screen no longer responded to touch, but the left side still worked. The outside screen continued to work with no problems.
Although this experience was poor, contacting Samsung went smoothly. The repair took about a week and shipping was one-day express in both directions.
Since then, the phone has been great. I was finally able to try using GamePass, Stadia, and Android games on the large screen and they look fantastic. Although the under-display camera is visible if you look for it, it becomes unnoticeable while playing videos or a game. The cameras are good and only lack the extra zoom of the S21+. The outer screen is great for scrolling through long lists of content with one hand. I would like to see it slightly wider so that text input is easier, but otherwise, it feels great in the hand.
This is a great phone that can only be appreciated by trying it out. Being able to go from a pocketable phone to a small tablet experience can't be beat. It was disheartening to receive a defective phone initially, but I understand that lemons do happen, and Samsung's repair service was better than expected.

So far so good!
Bought it a month ago and so far its bee. A great experience. I'm able to use it for work to attend meetings and actually see the spreadsheet when they present it! It's also so convenient to read on the wider screen. I'm actually reading more books and articles on my phone now! So my review so far is I love it!
The one downside, I do have to charge my phone more often throughout the day but it's a minor inconvenience for the increase productivity I get from my phone than before.

big screen
If you like a big screen on a phone this is the right choice. The camera feels last gen, but good enough for average user. I like the fingerprint sensor on the side better than on screen like Note 20. There is no S Pen included, but I did buy a case with a S Pen attached. Btw, the sound is also really good. But the battery doesn't last as good as on my Note.

I love this phone so much!!!
I received this phone a week ago, and I got already been used to the big screen. I can't go back to smaller phones anymore. I'm sure Samsung will make it a little lighter and thinner with possible s-pen storage on the phone for the next foldable phone. I got a cover with an s-pen and the s-pen works very well. The case is a little bulky with pen storage, but I always use the s-pen, so It is tolerable. I can open two apps at the same time and compare the items to order from each vendor, and it is so much easier with Z Fold3. I watch baseball games with a bigger screen, and I can even see the ball that was impossible with my Note 20 ultra. I'm enjoying the best smartphone experience right now than ever.

I can't think of a better way to get things done. If you use a lot of PDF files, spreadsheets, Word docs. And or Google docs this phone is more efficient at opening, signing saving and sharing. No lag, full functionality. And, watching a video on the top while taking notes on the bottom is a breeze. Even a joy.
Netflix rocks. Tablet version of apps is so well thought out its not even funny. Just buy it you'll be glad you did.

Unexpected "foldable" surprise
I do not come with high expectation when placing the order for Z Fold3. When the phone came, it was such a pleasant to use on the outer screen with the width of a TV remote control. I can basically use the phone with one hand which neve happen since we move into large phone screen era. on top of that, you need bigger screen? just unfold the phone.
everything work seamlessly and effectively regardless using the outer screen or the big unfold screen.

I am one of the first Z Fold 3 owners and I was so excited when I held the phone on my hand. It is so beautiful and elegance. Amazing Samsung phone I ever had, and of course the most expensive one I bought. The design and the fold screen are so cool. It makes me proud when I have it. I think I will keep this Z Fold with me as long as I can.
Thank you Samsung for the next generation of the Note, my most favorite phone more than 7 years. Bravo Samsung

Premium, Multi-tasking powerhouse
Device is well built and high quality. It does not feel fragile and I am able to confidently use it without babying the phone.
Battery life improved to average 6-7 SOT after a week.
Multi tasking on the big screen is a joy once you set up the apps for quick access.
The front screen is narrow, I find typing is easier once I installed SwiftKey. For those with small hands this narrow screen is alot easier to maneuver one handed. If you have large hands this may not be the case.

Ultimate phone
I bought this Galaxy Z3 Fold Aug 20 and received my phone on Aug 27. I got the black one and traded-in my Note 20 Ultra 5G. I like the features on the phone u folded and being able to use the S Pen. The video quality is just amazing especially when I'm watching my shows on Netflix and YouTube TV. The only thing that I didn't like about it is the battery life. I thought it was going to be better than the note 20 but it seems like they're the same and the battery don't last the whole day.

Incredible Phone
Had doubts and worries about buyer's remorse but this phone's incredible productive and immersive capabilities proved me very wrong. People's general biggest concerns are battery life and the exterior screen's aspect ratio. I quickly got used to the skinnier outside display and find it comfortable to use one handed. Battery life has been satisfactory, getting me through days without needing to charge even on heavier usage.

Let start by saying, "wow" this phone is a game changer. I have owned iPhones and Notes but this one just takes the crown. The design is like no other. I can easily go from small phone that fits perfectly in one hand to BOOM hand held tablet. At first I was worried about the fold but after buying my own I saw the great quality of this phone. As someone that has work apps and manages multiple files... I found the perfect mobile device. Now I can leverage technology to work smarter, not harder. MUST BUY!!

Almost hits the spot.
I have had this z fold 3 since its release and for the most part it hits most of my expectations. I do realize it is still fairly new and there are improvements that can be made so I am not disappointed over all with this phone. Most of my concerns are trivial so take it for what you will. The biggest concern I have is that you can not use a phone call recording app along with this phone, I have to tell you this is very disappointing! The function of recording calls for reference has saved my behind when dealing with companies who are too easy to lie to you. Whomever thought this was a good idea has clearly made a misstep. The rest of my concerns are pretty minimal and most likely will be addressed thru time such as lack of multifunctional cases that offer protection, s pen placement and card slots etc. Lastly while I appreciate the price drop over the previous model let's be clear, there is no phone worth the money they ask and to try and suggest otherwise is insulting to be honest.

I've had this for a few weeks. I know I'm not as much of a power user as others, but I'm really happy with it so far. Really like the side touch button and the dual screens. The separation of them is either a perk or a disadvantage depending on how you look at it. The power off feature I changed in the settings. That threw me for a loop.

Incredible phone...tablet...phablet
This to me is the real phablet. I've been at it with Samsung since the S4. Even got the Note 10 Plus. Upgraded to this device from the powerhouse S21 Ultra, and although I lost great features, the experience makes up for it like no other. I can say without a doubt that I will never switch back to a standard smartphone. Battery life could use improvement, app continuity can improve as well, the cover screen can be wider although most of the time, I use the main screen. S-pen support is nice but an in-house slot like the note series would make this device supreme. Camera system can also use improvement. Can't wait for all these improvement become reality in the net generations!

Amazing but needs tweaking
After owning this phone for a couple months now, I can say it's perfect for me but I know it wouldn't be for everyone.
The pros: Picture looks amazing and obviously the inside screen size is awesome, fingerprint scanner is on the side rather than the screen itself (like in the past), two speakers, great water resistance rating, smooth interface, large internal memory capacity (half a Tbite or quarter Tbite), great internal hardware to keep everything fast and smooth despite using several apps at the same time
Cons: Weird aspect ratio for the cover screen, smaller battery than previous Samsung flagship phones despite it powering 3 screens worth, worse quality camera than previous Samsung flagship phones, basic stylus doesn't work on cover screen (unsure of Pro's ability) , inability to use tempered glass protectors to protect a $2k asset, doesn't come with charger nor stylus (like in the past), no auxiliary port (although that's not new), no SD card port
I'm sure I'm missing things but this is my takeaway. Perfect for an artist like me, I think, or someone that writes a lot of notes, or someone who games a lot on their phone and wants to use multiple apps at the same time.

I bought the phone about a month ago and I haven't regret it for a moment. I don't think I will go back to a regular phone . Love that you can use it like a tablet when ever you needed. The s pen makes it even greater . The only thing I wish it had is that s pen worked on the front screen , it would of made typing easier since the keyboard is a little cramped to type on .

I purchased the zfold 3 about a month ago and wasn't really satisfied. Yes the inside screen is great but you can clearly see the fold curve in the screen.

After spending $2100 on the phone I ended up buying a note ultra and having to spend another $1300 since the zfold 3 isn't eligible for trade in

Makes having a phone fun again
I remember back in the days where upgrading your phone meant some new amazing feature like a slide out keyboard or a touch screen. Well now upgrading means just more of the same rectangular slab. Not so with the Fold3. I'm so glad I bought this phone because it's changed the way I use my phone! In fact I'm kind of addicted because it's just so easy to play games or watch video when you have a tablet in your pocket. I also get a kick out of random strangers gasping and asking about my phone...

Wise investment when it comes to mobile!
At first I was on the fence when i preordered this device. Through my research, I read that Z Fold owners had their screen cracked and that its very fragile and battery life was mediocre. When I received the device, the reviewers were wrong. Yes it's fragile but it's as fragile as any other mobile device and the battery is supporting a big screen somit makes sense as to why battery runs low fast. I've been using the front screen more than opening the device therefore battery life is great for me. Getting alot of attention from complete strangers is one thing that you'll need to get use to. Get you a nice case and you've got one of the best Samsung devices yet!

Great phone that can replace multiple devices
I was a diehard iPhone user for years always having an iPhone, iPad Pro and Apple Watch. I decided to move to Android OS and have been thrilled with this phone. Pairing this with a Samsung Galaxy Watch4, it has seamlessly replaced both my iPhone and iPad Pro in one package. It is more portable and when plugged into my monitor can almost replace my laptop using Dex. I no longer have to wish certain apps were larger since I can unfold the phone and interact with them taking up the entire screen. It's also great to be able to multitask with apps right from my phone. The build quality is premium and I have had no issues with it.

Great hardware. Decent software
I bought this at launch and have been using it every day for over a month. The build quality is excellent and both screens are beautiful. It takes a lot of getting used to the outside screen because of how skinny it is but it'll get the job done if you have to quickly reply to a text or something similar.
The phone is super snappy thanks to the newest hardware and the cameras are amazing. The 120Hz refresh is something I didn't know I needed. This does drain the battery more but I'm usually able to go most of the day before it gets below 25%.
The only thing that is a little lacking is the software experience. I knew what I was getting into with this because the unfolded screen is so large and the folded screen is so small. Some apps aspect ratio look really wonky when they become so stretched and wide. Luckily there's an option in the setting to change the aspect ratio on the big screen. I'm sure with future updates though this will get a lot better overall. At the moment though, it's a little cumbersome but very usable. Would definitely recommend to people.

One of my favorites!
I bought this on pre-order and have been using it for a few weeks. It's been extremely fast and smooth. The display is wonderful. My only disappointments have been the lack of expandable storage via micro SD and needing to buy the S Pen separately. Coming from the Note line, I really miss the internal pen and expanable storage.

Amazing device!
I traded in my s21 ultra for this phone and I am glad I did! The large inside screen is so handy, and makes everything so much easier. I've wanted one since the first modle, but was hesitant for all the same reasons everyone else was, so waited for a newer generation when they worked out some bugs. This is that generation. With the added water resistance it's durable enough for my everyday needs, and fits comfortably in my pocket considering the screen size I get!
I cannot wait to see the future of these devices!

Ultimate Multitasking Device
I've had the Galaxy Z Fold3 for almost 2 months now and have enjoyed everyday with it, I previously had the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G and although that was a great device the Fold3 does everything the Note 20 Ultra 5G can do except the Fold3 does it even better. The Fold3 is an absolute powerhouse for multitasking, I could not imagine going back to a regular phone, this definitely is the next generation of multitasking devices and I am exited to see what Samsung does to improve the next generation of this device as it already does an amazing job in every aspect.

Best multitasking phone there is.
I purchased my Zfold about a month ago, and im really enjoying my phone. I traded my Note 20 ultra for the zfold, and at first was a bit skeptical about it. After learning more about the features it has, I don't regret it. I'm an artist and the fact that gives me so much space to draw it's amazing. It's like having a tablet and regular phone at the same time. The half fold multitasking feature is incredible. I can set on my phone on my desk and watch my videos and movies on top and look in social media on the bottom part of the screen. The cameras Selfy feature is so awesome as well. To be able to use the back camera and see yourself on the front display it save so much time on taking the right picture even as a group is genius. I would like to see more accessories for this phone like a stand that can grab the phone on the larger screen for my vehicle. More options on phone case that can hold the pen as well. I did get the phone with the case with pen holder. But the flap was more in the way, and didnt fold to hold the phone up.

Real experience comment
Using it for over 2 months, I can tell the pros/cons as a former note user (since Notorious Note7).
Pro: Big screen and dual-screen. Big screen for working or watching videos. Smaller screen for quick text or call. More flexibility and accessibility to key features. If you believe that Galaxy Tab or iPad has a bit too big to carry but needs a bigger screen than Notes or Ultra S series, it will satisfy you instantly.
Con: Do not buy the standard Samsung Z fold cover with a fold version pen. No phone holders for cars can hold the phone properly. The flopping cover makes it more difficult to grab the phone especially when the screen is unfolded. Unlike the Note's standard built-in pen, the z-fold edition pen does not support air-mode. It's just a stylus pen designed for a fragile folding screen.

The best Samsung I've ever had
I pre-ordered this phone directly from Samsung in August. I immediately fell in love with the ability to use the front screen as my daily driver and the big screen for entertainment and multitasking. I'm never going back to a regular phone again. In the past I've bought every Samsung Note line up but I've got to say this phone is my new device!

BY FAR THE BEST PHONE I HAVE EVER OWNED IN MY LIFE
I've owned a Galaxy Note my entire life ever since the Galaxy Note 1 came out I'm a note lover and it really kind of bummed me out that they stopped making the note this year but I was elated to find out that the Galaxy phone 3 was able to use the s pen and I was also happy to find out that there's two s-pens there's a Bluetooth s pen that you can buy separately and there's also the fold edition s pen that comes with the folding cover case ! The only downfall on this phone is that you can't use the s pen on the front screen you can only use it on the big screen when it's unfolded because if you want to take a note really quick you have to have the pen near you it's some way and if you want to take a note really quick you have to unfold it when you unfold it you want to unfold it very carefully obviously and that's hard to do when you're in a rush for obvious reasons. That's the only thing that kind of bums me out a little bit it's a little easier to open when you have the leather case cover from Samsung that actually goes one piece on the front and one piece on the back and the only thing you can see is the back of the hinge and the front screen it protects the phone really well for obvious reasons but it also makes it a lot easier to open the phone when the phone has no case it's very hard to open especially in a rush. Other than that I did own the note 21 but traded it in when the folds two came out so I own the fold too and going to the fold three was a big jump up !!! The screen in the front seems brighter and easier to use the screen when you unfold it seems a lot brighter with a lot more definition the amazing thing is that if you do have it open for a session you can use the s pen and it works extremely well on the screen even if you kept the plastic on the screen like most people the battery life seems a lot better the phone is definitely a lot quicker with the 888 chipset it's just overall a better phone by far !!! For some reason the camera seems a lot better too it seems to focus in on things a lot quicker and it seems to take better pictures I don't know if they're using a different chipset for the camera I thought it was the same chipset as the two but apparently it must be something different because the pictures are night and day different !!!

Awesome phone
Really love this phone... the downside is if you go to the fold, i do not believe you will be able to use any other phone. So much room for multitasking with the big display. I wish however (hopefully with the next iteration) that the outer screen would be a normal sizer... 6.5 inch would be perfect.

I was super impressed with my Z-flip 5g initially which made me buy Z-fold 3. I have been using it for over a month and this device is a beast. Excellent performance. The durability is amazing. The folding screen is the major update as compared to old phone. It will be hard to go back to a regular phone.

The future is now
When the Samsung Fold series was first introduced, I was initially skeptical, but once the company had shown the video that details every change, I was immediately hooked. The water resistance and S-Pen support shows that Samsung knows how to innovate, and with the end of the Note series, I think the Fold series is a fitting successor for Samsung's flagship phone.

More rugged than expected
I upgraded from the fold 2to gain the water-resistant rating. Unfortunately I have had the fear of dropping this from my dump truck! Unlike all of my Samsung products before it this one survived. I don't plan on further testing, but with a simple outside screen protector it had tiny scratches. Replacing the protector gives me perfect clarity once again. Unfolded the massive workspace makes typing this review a breeze. Powerful and fast my biggest restriction is the poor service. Having the large storage space allows me to cache hours of music to stream to my Samsung buds. A great pair!

I had pre ordered it with two trade ins but I think it was way worth it. I had the original fold and I can say the fold 3 is on another level. I just wished I had a place to put the s pen because I am a s pen user. Also the cameras are good but wish it had the same cameras as the S21 ultra, that would have been amazing and the whole package

The phone /tab
I bought my Z fold 3 about two months ago I'm very happy with it. After spending all the time use everyday it's hard to ever buy a regular slab phone again. Game changer I does it all from playing games very smoothly with the nicest main screen. Using it for work emails taking notes, signing documents is no need to carry a laptop or tablet. Or just watching media the inter display is just beautiful. Don't even worry about battery it has super fast charging. Once you pick it up it's hard to put down. I love reading on it with split screen sharing on Facebook and texting at the same time with all 3 on the screen. This phone I feel makes doing more in less time . This phone feels premium compared to my note 20 ultra had the same kind of build.

Did not mean to, but fell in love.
Got it on trial since no Note was coming. Figured I would check it out and return it. But what started out as a platonic relationship grew into a full love affair. I like the form factor when closed. Fits in pocket better than larger phones. When u need the big screen u just flip it open. My only wish is if it had a small form factor stylus that attached to the case. But other than that it is perfect. I almost never use my tablet any more. One less thing to pack for a trip.

Love this phone!
I upgraded from my S10+ and I'm sure glad I did. Everything on this phone is well worth the premium price of this device. I use the outer screen on the fold 3 a lot more than I expected since it's easy to access especially with one hand. The inner screen is large and it fits my use case. My phone is my primary device for all I do (call, text, media consumption, social media, etc.). The crease does not bother me at all since I don't notice it too much when I'm watching videos or doing other tasks. It's very convenient to have a small outer screen and a large inner screen when I need it.

Great phone, super happy!!!
I pre-order the Galaxy Z Fold 3 for the simple fact that it had pen support. I've been a Note user for a very long time and actually use the pen a lot, so I decided to go ahead and switch to the Fold 3. I'm really happy I did. While many people look for comfortable phones, I look for big screens and features I can use. I'm a very heavy media user that used to carry my tablet all the time because of the big screen. With the Galaxy Z Fold 3, I find myself not having to do that anymore. I love the screen real state and I had a concern about the crest in the middle, but when you're looking straight at the phone you can't really see it. The only thing I would love to see in a future Fold is a wider front s reel with pen support. Aside from that, I love my phone!

I thought I would love this new phone as much as I love my Galaxy Notes. It has a few things to loveIs such as the bright screen, the great camera, and I am able to use it for work because the screen the screen is so big. It is a little heavier than I would like and there are pauses when I type that annoy me but the biggest annoyance was having was having to get my screen fixed after only 2 weeks.. I still gave it 3 stars because the process to get it fixed was quite painless, I just took it to to the shop and they had it fixed the same day.

Once you go fold, You can't go back
I was very skeptical allcart the fold, especially after playing with the fold 2 at Best Buy and feeling how fragile the inside screen is. I decided to get the fold 3 because I wanted a thinner phone and needed a new tablet ( came from the S21 ultra ). I didn't case about the camera downgrade. I am very happy that I made the switch to the new ecosystem. I doubt I will go back to a traditional flat phone again.

Never loved a phone as much as i am in love with my Galaxy Fold 3.

This is the future of devices
I bought the Galaxy z fold 3 about a month ago and I couldn't be more happy with it. Some people have been saying the battery life isn't so good I would say for the first week it wasn't very good but then it got much better after it learned my usage having the giant wide screen opening up is absolutely wonderful. It's really nice that this device replaces both a phone and the tablet for my usage. The s pen support is just the topping on the cake. I would recommend to get a case as it's very slippery so far I find the Samsung silicone case to be my favorite as it's both thin protective and grippy.

Great concept - the best folding phone out there
It's the best folding phone out there but it does not mean that it is a perfect phone. It could be thinner, lighter, have wider front display, and no visible crease for the larger screen. Having said that, I'm amazed by the phone for what it can do! Literally a small tablet that is so much more portable. I will only recommend to people who are early adapters

Giant Screen so nice
The giant screen is so nice to have the videos or movies i watch look so clean you can even play 4k videos and since the screen resolution is so close to 4k especially at this size it look so nice like an actual high end 4k tv

Tablet replacement
I have a fold 3 over a month.
As all you know It has a big screen just like a tablet and you can put it in your pocket.
It is a pricy but it is worth it, if you have issues with small screen.I can't go back to normal size of the phone.
Only one negative I've noticed is battery life.

It's been over a month a month that I received my Z fold3 and loving it, so everything about it is awesome pictures, screen, features, performance, battery life and so on, just great. I was kind of iffy about the fold but it works great yes you can see a little crease but you can't. With the front camera pictures are awesome selfie camera are good. Overall great job Samsung.

Great features. But broke at the fold!!
I bought the phone a little over a month ago, screen started bugging out. Called Verizon and the told me to restart it, I did and once I opened phone again, the screen broke at the fold. Cause a couple cracks from fold, now best buy says it wasn't hardware but a pressure point that caused it to break. Love the phone and features but if this is how samsung is going to treat new customers, I do not recommend.

It only looks good.
I ended up having to settle for this phone since the Note was no longer available. Worst mistake ever. Response of the front screen is horrible. Not only does it take forever to wake up, you the screen doesn't respond to touches accurately. the S pen does not work on the front screen and when open, the accuracy of the pen is horrible. The keyboard does not appear when it should. I end up having to restart the phone to get it to pop up. The GPS on this device consistently goes out and the maps always freeze. I expected a lot more from Samsung. If I wanted a subpar product, I would have gotten an iPhone. This was truly a disappointment and a waste of $1800.

Not worth $1800!
So about the only thing I like about the phone is the big screen. It is heavy and bulky. The front screen is way too small to text. WHY IS VIDEO CALLING NOT AN OPTION? I don't want to use another app just to video call! FIX IT, PLEASE!

Fold Screen Fail in 40 days
Hello Friends, before you buy this phone please read my review carefully. I'm in NYC and purchased this Z3 and use it less than 40ish. days and the fold screen failed on me in front of my customer, it's really put in shame on my presentation. The worst is when I sent it back to service they blame on me, and irresponsible on their design flaws.

Both my husband and myself purchased the Galaxy Z Fold. We love it!!! Love the case with the stylus. So easy to use, the large area is great to read or even play one of my favorite games. It was great to FaceTime with the grandkids. Folded it can be used just like a regular phone, and it fits nicely in my purse. Extremely pleased

Good phone minus the screen fracturing
I bought this phone last November. The large screen fractured right in the middle of the fold. I sent it back to Samsung, they replaced the screen. Now a few months later, the screen is fracturing again. Time to replace it with something else.. I love the size of the screen and the functions, but this screen fracturing is not acceptable. To get it fixed, you have to delete everything and mail it to Samsung. Shops cannot fix it. Buy something else.

The Future!
I love this phone and haven't missed my iPhone since switching. The biggest obstacle has been that I had all apple products and they don't work well.
The areas for opportunity for this phone are
(1) Storage for the S-Pen. If not a silo then at least some magnets like the surface duo 2 has with it's pen.
(2) Better battery life. It's not terrible, but it's noticeable coming from an iPphone.
(3) The camera should be at least as good as the Ultra for the price.
(4) The selfie camera on the inner display should just be removed.
(5) Support from all social media apps is missing. Snapchat is the most egregious example.
All in all it's a fantastic device for most people but I wouldn't recommend if you live on Snapchat and Instagram.

My Fold 3 developed dead pixels along the fold also resulting in a dead right screen. Second phone had a dead cellular chip so I don’t know if the fold issue has been resolved, but I doubt it since no reports of changes there.

Absolutely Great and Innovative Folding Phone! :)
I was always hesitant about these folding devices. I always rocked the Note series and S series. I absolutely loved the note because of the pen and the S series because I felt like they had a better performance and camera. When they released the S21 ultra I was enlightened and purchased it with the pen! And then the new fold came out and I decided to give the 21 my mom (Which she loves) and I currently have the fold. When I say the gaming experience is BRILLIANT, I mean it! Definitely recommend this phone and I probably won't be going back to a "Normal" phone.

The best phone ever.
I bought this phone a month ago and by now the only thing I got to say it's the best phone I ever had , mostly of the time when I bought a new phone by passing the time I get bored about it , but not whit this galaxy fold 3 I cannot even look to see another phones , any other phone looks so boring so traditional , and if you got a fold , and you u fold it in front of anybody , the reaction of the people are awesome, just asking you , where did you get it ? What kind of phone it's that ? I want one ! , when I bought it I was pretty nervous about the battery capacity ( I upgraded to this fold 3 from a note 20 ultra ) but after a month I can say that the battery autonomy it's great , you can get a full day of using it and leave like a 30 or 25% and I use my phone a lot ... so that's the only thing I got to say , i think after this fold 3 I can only spect to the fold 4 to be lunch because there's none cellphone in the market ho could replace this awesome device .

Great Screen size and features
Love this phone. Perfect size for holding with one hand while using top screen for notifications, messages, texting.. Watching sports and movies is awesome on the large screen. Only drawback is not having a S-pen in-built. I have used several Note series phones and loved the S-pen feature. The battery on this phone is great. The phone syncs very well with my Galaxy 4 watch, buds pro and buds live ear buds.

Liked the phone but screen is fragile.
I waited until the 3rd iteration of the phone to make sure all the kinks were worked out. After having my phone 21 days the inner screen had a small black dot in the bottom of the crease of the phone. I keep the phone in a samsung case and always make sure nothing is inside the phone when I close it. After about 3 days the enter center o f the phone is black and I cant suse the entire right side of the phone. The front screen is fine and the left side of the fold is functional. I was SO disappointed with this product. I have had more than 30 Samsung phones and never had an experience like this. I called AT&T and were unwilling to help me to replace it. I called Sumsung and the rep tried to get me to go to a shady ufixit place, that I don't even trust,with my BRAND NEW PHONE.

Almost made it to the year mark... failed screen
Well, I love this phone... It's in need of a real S-Pen, not a bolt-on, but otherwise, I loved it. I had bubbles under the screen protector that just started populating one day. Not a slow transition, one day a bubble next day the whole crease of the screen was a bubble. I realized it was just the screen protector that was factory installed so I gently replaced it with a Whitestone replacement. a week later a bunch of dead pixels started in the top of the crease. slowly the screen lost its sensitivity and I could no longer control the phone via the folding screen. Then it happened, opened the phone, and black dead pixels down the entire crease, just as all of the others are pictured here. It's a great phone... if they can get the screens to work. For this price point, Samsung should be much better. Also, their warranty is the worst... I'm to ship my only phone back to Samsung for repair and go without my 2000-dollar phone for 2 weeks... unacceptable! You should mail out a refurbished device, then I return mine!

Imagen having a normal phone that can turn into a tablet... Well this it folks, People complain about the crease but it's honestly not noticeable, and yes it's a little heavy but if you come from a note series this shouldn't be a problem, The screen doesn't feel like plastic it feels like full on glass, when you first take it out of the box you won't even believe it's plastic, This phone is perfect for people that are protective and in need of more powerful phone with a larger screen for every day work

Great Device, that could be better
I like my ZFold3 a lot. The things that would make me love my Zfold3 is a larger size when it's close, A placement hold to put my S-Pen. The ability to take notes in the front screen when it's folded as we do when it's unfolded. And last but not least, a longer battery life. The device is like a mini tablet and it should last a day and a half, no matter how long you use it.

Bought on pre-order. Really Love the flexibility. I can use it folded as a phone Then unfold it to use as a tablet. Great for watching videos. I canuse my S- Pen to write instead of typing. I was initially concerned about the folding screen but it seems to be very durable. I have even unintentionally dropped it a couple times and have no chips or cracks. I love my Samsung products!

Simply in love
So I got this with the first release reservations and I was a bit hesitant. Not anymore. All of my fears of breaking it in the first few days are gone. It is pretty sturdy. I have dropped it 3 times and it has no damage. I have arthritis in my hands and texting hurts after a while. Now I text with my fold3 open and it lessens my hand fatigue. I don't no how I was living without this. My last phone was no slouch. It was the Note 20 ultra. But I am loving this phablet so much more. I have three gripes that keeps me from saying 10/10.
1. Where is my micro SD slot?! I download tons of purchased movies to my phones, tablets, and laptops as I live in an area that frequently loses power. If you are going to take it away at least give us a 1TB storage. 2. The cameras are nice but for nearly $2000 it should have the best camera of samsung family. 3. Your cases. If you are going to have a case that is full coverage it shouldn't just randomly flap around open opening whenever. Magnets or some other way of fastening it closed.
All of this being said. It is so fun figuring out all of the fun ways to use my fold 3. Multiple windows open and multitasking has hit new levels. I am surprised that since my purchase I have only used my tab 7 plus a few times.
All in all, bravo. 8-9/10 for me.
PS Samsung should buy one of the Android office suite companies and make it a permanent addition to their higher end phones and their tablets. Upping their game just that much more.

The proper evolution of a reliable foldable device
This review comes from a previous owner of the first generation fold, Z Fold 2 (Blue Hinge) and Z Flip 5G
Finally, the package is complete. We got an S Pen (little lag compared to the note series (coming from note 20 ultra), but still works awesome on the large screen. The screen is beyond phenomenal with 120 Hz refresh rate.
Full screen with no cut outs is great, but the quality is not perfect still as I can see the dots on the camera placement. I appreciate samsung doing its best with the current technology to offer the best experience and best hardware ever in the mobile industry.
One UI is really glowing here. No lag, perfect t software really and I feel it is way more functional than iOS.
Cameras are not S21 Ultra cameras, but really awesome (see 5x zoom photos).
Thank you Samsung for keeping the industry going forward. For real. SAMSUNG is the new Apple. Recall the old Apple slogan "Think Differently"?
Now, apple is the norm and Samsung is the one thinking differently.
One note, I wish Samsung takes the lead in protecting us from the Android ecosystem.
Can Samsung make One UI as secure and safe as iOS without selling its customers to Google?
I hope Samsung has something in its sleeve. If Samsung can not do it, no one will. Huawei is trying with Harmony OS, if Samsung tries, I am sure it will do it.
Wish to see One UI as secure and protective to customers as iOS.
A last note, integration Between the Z fold 3, my Tab S7+, watch are phenomenal when it comes to
1. Calling on other devices
2. Clipboard
3. S Notes (for God's sake, this software is the best for note taking and PDF manipulation. My notes on the fold goes to my tab in no time and even shows up on my PC like no other.
4. It is so close to be Apple Smart in handling all
If you have the money, you will not regret it.
A recommendation, get the leather case with the stand, silicon case and the s pen separately.
You can use the silicon case half only with the leather case to have full complete protection tin to all sides. Works awesome.

Good but flawed
I was excited for the phone, as it was my first time getting a foldable. The design, handling, build quality are high. The functionality of the device is high, and I enjoy the use of the S-pen.
There are three flaws with the phone however...
1. Samsung customer service is horrible. They resolve nothing when you reach out even when you have Samsung's Plus. My phone has software issues and performance issues since I received it on August 8. I called several times and their support was to be without a phone for 2 for a maybe on a new one. They use iFix as an official support but you can simply go there, have them verify the condition of the phone, and have Samsung send you a new one and place your old one in the box.
2. Software is inconsistent. Like many Samsung products, optimization is a little off. Good software but has it's issues.
3. Cameras are good but getting an S20 ultra camera from 202 is a rib off for an $1800 phone.

excellent device except for that one thing!
its been a month since I bought my Z fold 3 device, I am very happy with it, the functionality is really amazing in every way, the only thing I don't like about this device is that when it folded (which in my case is 80% of the time when i use it) the screen is too narrow and its not very practical when typing, some applications are not modified to be used on such a narrow width.
other than that i love everything about this phone

Love this device
I waited for the fold series to get better from the first model, finally decided to get fold 3 and just love the phone. The performance is awesome, as expected and both the displays are beautiful. I dont mind the front screen size so i love the fact you can go from that to the larger screen right away and enjoy whatever you are doing on a bigger screen with out needing to switch to a tablet or laptop.

Two Flaws away from perfection
Picked this up when it was released and this would be THE PHONE for me if it wasn't for 2 fairly decent sized flaws....battery life (which got worse from the Fold Z2) and the camera (which didn't get upgraded at all).
The good:
Love the convenience of being able to open this phone up and use it as a mini tablet. I am a writer and it helps to bring a keyboard, prop this baby in it and work on my next book. Screen is clear and awesomew with its 120Hz refresh rate and it just seems the perfect combination of portability and screen size for me. Also being able to run 3 apps at once is also pretty sweet (and you can save the configuration as well).
But...
That 120hz refresh rate comes at a cost, especially with Samsung reducing the battery size. If I am lucky I will get a day out of this (and this is after tweaking the settings). Now I get what this is and I know it is a power hog, but REDUCING the battery size makes little to no sense because of what is required to run this thing. The previous gen was good for at least a 1/2 day longer than this one.
Then the camera.
In the daytime in great light, awesome (see sample I took just yesterday).
But take a pic any other time beyond pristine light (2nd photo).
I get that the fold's main purpose isn't it's camera, but for what this thing costs they could have, I don't know, maybe put a S 20 camera in the darn thing so it took good shots, especially since is my phone/tablet/go to everything device.
With that being said, if you are not a big photo person at night and you use how great this thing is for productivity, I'd recomment it.

Good but could be better
I bought this the week it came out. Everything functions. Sometimes I'll have a screen flicker when I open it. Device has never been dropped or damaged. My biggest complaint however, as the scree flicker always fixes itself, is the protective screen cover that comes on the phone, on the inside, is coming off. I don't know how I can fix this. But it is extremely annoying.

I've been watching the zfold line of phones carefully. The first 2 that were released were intriguing, but I knew they were bound to have issues with the new technology.
When the 3rd was announced, I did I just couldn't take it anymore, threw caution to the wind and pre-ordered. Man am I glad that I did. These phones are the future

Great phone for work or play but not both
Uses battery fast but I also have it set to limit charge using the Samsung tablet restriction to help battery from degrading.
The phone lacks the esim option so very disappointed that I still have to carry 2 phones for work and personal. Thought by now Samsung would have not been afraid of the US carriers not wanting the feature active and joined apple and Google in allowing the dual sim capability. spending nearly $2k on a phone it should have darn near everything available and the dual sim being a minimal cost impact that should have been active at launch.
The Samsung case pinches the screen protector and causes the corners to lift. Doesn't impact the phone but will need to get a new protector soon because eventually it will peal off.
The outside keyboard feels cramped and often easily hit the wrong letters when typing. Expect plenty of corrections needed. The bigger your fingers the greater the error.
You get used to the crease on the tablet when open. You feel it and see it but after using for awhile it just blends away.
The phone is great and I love it but without dual sim capability it is not worth the money since it won't simplify your work and personal life. Buy a tablet for less money. Yes it's another piece of hardware to carry but you will save money. Or buy a large screen cell phone and save even more.
I'm going to not mark recommend because I got it for work home life balance and it won't do that. However if you want a really cool phone that is fun to use and easy to watch movies and don't care it is a heavy phone or need super great pictures or zoom like the s21 ultra, this is the phone for you.

Head turner!
I bought the fancy Thom Browne Edition. Since day one everyone has asked me how what where when why and so on and so on about this phone. Not your average bar phone. It literally turns heads. It's been amazing so far. Works so much better than my Note 8. This phone/tablet is the future. Not as thick as I thought it would be. Crease isn't very noticeable in direct view. Except for the weak battery life and poor options for phone covers (front and outer fold protection), I am loving this phone. TB Edition wasn't cheap but it's worth it. I would have gotten the regular Fold Z 3 if I didn't get my hands on this one. Get yours!!

Nice, but no S-Pen included
I was very surprised that the S-Pen wasn`t included with the phone. I spent out over $1,200.00 then found out that I had to purchase the S-pen separately. At this price for a phone, the pen should be included with the phone. also, it`s been next to impossible to find a good screen protector that doesn`t break when I fold up my phone.

We need bigger size
I was amazed when I bought the first fold. Then the fold 2. Now since the fold 3 is here nothing change , except the pen. Same as fold 2. I was about to change it. But for me now the front is too small. I have to grab my iPhone. Because is bigger. Otherwise I have to unfold th fold 2. sometimes is uncomfortable to handle just with one hand. I wish the can .are the front bugger as normal phone. And when you open the fold you can have an amazing bigger screen.. very disappointed on that..

Awesome phone and very useful
Before I had a Note 10+ which was great, but the Fold 3 is awesome.
What I love:
- When closed, it is not as wide as the 8 so it is easier to hold.
- Want to see something in a bigger a screen, open it up!
- It is basically a mini tablet on your hand when you open it
- Love the fingerprint scanner, very simple to scan your finger and unlock the phone.
- Speakers are loud!!
- Ease of use, everything is supersimple to use.
- BTW, the screen crease is barely noticeable whne you are using the phone. It just blends in.
What I don't love:
- No expansion slot!
- HBO Max app doesn't work! That's HBO fault!
- A pen slot would be nice. Pen is a bit large.

Fantastic phone! Everything I wanted and more!
I have been eyeballing this phone for years, since the first generation. I had the note phones and convinced myself I didn't need to swap. With the release of the 3, I finally told myself I was going to do it. I am so happy I did it. I absolutely love everything about this phone, and love to show it off. I read more now because it is so convenient, I love watching videos and everything else. The fold in the screen is very negligible when in use, and is far outweighed by the functionality. 10/10 would buy again and would recommend.

Good phone. Annoying that S Pen is not attached.
Overall, I am happy with the purchase. Basically, you have a tablet in the pocket. This is all I need.
These are the reasons I gave only 4 stars:
- S Pen. Samsung - you should've found a way how to attach it to the phone. At least magnet like MSFT does for their Surfaces. Or old-style "stylus on a twine" thing. For me, as a multi-year user of all generations of Note, it is very annoying to find out that the stylus is somewhere in a different room when I most need it.
- proportions. I REALLY think it is too narrow when it is folded. It looks and feels weird. Maybe because I got used to Note, but can you make it at least same as S series? You could've use this space for S Pen, for example!
- Software. Yes, there are apps which are adopted to switching between screens. But some of the user experience of them is weird to say the list. Take the Chrome, for example. It is well-known phone version with tiles when you switching between opened pages - on the outer screen. And it is well-known tablet versions with tabs on the inside screens. Guess what happens when you open a few dozens of pages and switches from outer to inner screen? You see your active page, which is in the end of the tabs row and ... first several tabs on the left of it, with all other tabs hidden in between so you need to scroll them. Now, guess, what will be the tab you most probably need to switch to? Yes, the previous one! Guess what you need to do to get to it? Yes, scroll, scroll, scroll!!! It's just an illustration on many other annoying small little things in the usability of the software.
Yep, and in the end - Samsung's cover with S Pen holder sucks. Don't buy it.

Fold tech is ready for regular use now! I have using it for last few months without any cover. No problems so far.
It's a samsung flagship so performance, camera,ui, screen[s] are expectedly awesome!
Spen is useful, but the spen cover is useless to me, as it blocks front screen when taking selfies with main camera.
Surprisingly comfortable in hand.
If price is no concern, this is an instant buy.

I've had the Z Fold 3 for 5 full days and I am as giddy as a young man on Christmas. I've been a Samsung fanboy since the OG Note. I've had every Note and loved each one. I held off of on the Fold until it got SPen support. My one wish was that it was stored in the phone. The case.... Sorry Samsung bad engineering on the SPen case. Love the phone. Awesome!

Not what I expected
It's hard to open, and when I open it, there is a lag. What I mean is when I open to the big screen. And I try to out my pin in. There is a lag. So I have to use my fingerprint. Also, sometimes when I go to full screen the three buttons on the bottom don't work. I don't know if this is suppose to happen. It doesn't fit in my hands right. I don't know if it's because I am use the Notes width.

Real Evolution
I've always been interested in cutting edge technology and Samsung finally hit a price point that I could manage with the Z Fold 3. Testing the demo units of previous iterations in-store compared to this year's model shows how much they've leaned towards new evolutions in tech. This device is sturdy and meets all my expectations. Coming from the Note 20 Ultra, I am not disappointed...I just wish there were more options to hold either new S Pens in more practical cases.

Different and a lot better
I bought the Galaxy Z Fold for my wife birthday, It is the best gift I could have given, she loved it!
It is ideal for watching videos and working with two applications simultaneously.

Solid make
Just recently upgraded my phone from Note 10 plus to Samsung Z Fold3. I am very happy with my decision to pre order it . I am enjoying the big screen for my videos, email and text messaging. Although navigating keyboard on a single screen is little difficult for me coming from Note 10 plus but works great with wide open screen. Haven't use Pen much to comment but I am sure it has same or better function than my pen with Note 10. Great buy. Hoping for durability of folded screen . Battery life is less than my Note 10 plus. Overall, satisfied with my decision to buy this phone

Great potential! Not there......yet.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold3 is here to make some happy and some mad. It has a lot of great features that make it similar to the Note series but the one that makes it stand out on its own is its ability to unfold into tablet mode. If you are coming from the Note series and utilized the pen regularly, you will definitely feel a piece of the puzzle is always missing, no matter what kind of case they design with the spen in mind the convenience factor is just not there. The smaller front screen needs to be bigger. It's difficult to pull the phone out and type a quick message especially if you have bigger fingers. The ability to consume content is off the charts and the screens are absolutely georgious. After a couple more years this phone will be ready for the big time. It's a great device. If coming from the Note series and the SPen is important, then best to wait. But if you want to get your hands dirty and be along for the ride and experience what they are working on for the future, give it a go! Looking forward to what the Fold3 has to offer in the future.

Worth the wait to switch from a Note
I have been a Note user since the second Note. I have always been interested in the Fold but could not bring myself to lose my S-Pen. Yes, the S-Pen is not built into the phone but with the right S-Pen case, I don't have any issues and the S-Pen works very well! I love this phone and it is durable, it already fell in to a drink (don't ask!!) and it rinsed off with no issues!

Great phone - The best so far!!!!
I've been using this Fold 3 for almost a week and I'm really impressed with this model. I thought it wouldn't be too different to the Fold 2 but in fact it is!. The camera is way better, the s-pen gives the touch and the style I was missing from the Note, the adaptative 120 rate for the exterior screen, and the whole system is faster.

Buy It for the Waterproofing, Keep It for the Pen
I've owned the Fold, Fold 2, and (now) the Fold 3 versions of this phone. This product line has only gotten progressively better and the water resistance was a trigger for making this upgrade move. That said, I've renewed my love affair with a pen to tablet surface in this device and can say that it's just really useful for navigating and notes. Finally, as a nice add-on relief, I was a bit concerned about the reduced battery life especially with the new chip and screen enhancements but the device's power management is solid across my 'heavy' user day.

Galaxy Z Buying & Returning
My last buy from Samsung was a Note 20, and everything went excellent!
Now buying the Galaxy Z fold 3 512 was a mess! This is a story in itself!
The phone itself is being returned, not giving up my Note 20. Reason is this! Small phone unless opened, heavy, screen resolution is great, however I like my Note 20 better! When opened reminds me of Amazon Kindle reader without the color. The competition between a Galaxy Z versus a 13 inch computer, I'll take the computer and stick with the phone as a phone. Finally what upsets me the most when trading in my Note 20, the price in 20 minutes went from $ 850.00 to $ 750.00. Next day was back up to $ 850.00 Go Figure! Some people may like the phone, no crease when opened!

Totally Refined and best Phone I've ever owned
I've been a note fan for a long time; but had to jump on the fold train when the fold 2 came out. The Fold 3 iterates and makes absolutely everything better. Better performance, more storage space, under screen camera, and S PEN SUPPORT! that was the one thing I was missing from my notes and now its all here.

Takes a while to get used to
Have been using this for a week now, it is different so it is something that takes a while to get used to. The OS is pretty much the same as all Samsung Galaxy phone, the difference with this one of course is the table-like screen, but the best feature I like is the multi-Window which is perfect for this size.
I was using a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and so as far as the hardware is concern, this is a downgrade. Camera features, no SD card are the biggest downsides for me. But this phone basically is not an upgrade from a Note 20 Ultra, but you are buying this phone for its new form-factor. It looks and feel solid and well made.
But then again, considering the downgrade of camera and some other missing features from a Note 20 or Galaxy S21 Ultra, the price point of $1800 does not cut if for me. If not for the pre-order and trade-in deals, I would not get this phone at this price.

I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to use this like I would a normal phone, but I have had no issues at all.

Great phone, could use some improvemrnts
After using this phone, I will not go back to a non-folding phone. However, there are a couple of things I'd like to see in the next generation that were not present in this one:
- Bigger cover screen: The cover screen is too narrow, which causes me to missclick some screen elements when using the cover screen. Having a larger cover screen makes it feel like a regular phone which folds into a mini tablet, as opposed to half a phone that folds into a mini tablet.
Built in S-pen: Having a built in s-pen eliminates the possibility of losing the spen, and increases the portability of the device.
Better cameras: no explanation needed
I realize these things are not possible without increasing the size of the phone, which is why I think having an Ultra version of this phone that has all the specs of the phone increased might be worth it ( I will definitely buy it ). I do not care about the added size.

A phone that turns into tablet
I got this phone as a replacement for my galaxy s20 ultra. And, what you get is more than a phone. You also get a mini tablet that is hidden underneath. I have been using it for the past few days and I would never want to go back to a day where this doesn't exist.

Traded in Note 20Ultra for Fold3 and it's AWESOME!
I traded in my Note 20 ultra for Fold 3 and this was the best decision I have ever made. As a power user and tablet lover I always wanted a tablet/phone device that would have all the capabilities as a phone + 5G and also be a good travel device to watch movies on the go or write code in Termux. It is a great device with almost 0 flows in compared to Note 20 ultra.

4 Stars Because of Downgrade of Battery and Camera
Pros:
1) Lighter weight, 9.56oz, while Fold 2 is 10oz, and Galaxy S 21Ultra is 8.07oz
2) Easy to carry when folded. Little bit thick (Fold3 16mm, S21Ultra 8.9mm) but smaller (Fold3 6.2", S21Ultra 6.8")great design, and acceptable price.
3) The narrow deisgn makes is easier for one hand using when you folded it.
4) You have a pad with you all the time
5) Great for online meeting and when you need a white board.
Cons:
1) The battery is really a challenge, I actually don't use the big screen frequently, but the battery could hold only about 8-10 hours with light use (No game, no music, and this is a new battery, and everyone knows that battery life will keep decreasing.). You will need to have a mobile charge station with you if you use the phone outside and often.
2) I didn't really notice the difference between Note 9 Plus camera and the camera of this Fold 3, the 2.0x zoom and 12 MP main camera should belongs to a 2020 Q1 flagship smartphone, but not a 2021 Q3 Samsung flagship smartphone.
3) The cover with pen holder is bad in design, which means you will still have NO place to carry the pen with your Fold 3.
4) Some games don't fit this phone well, won't even launch.
5) Some games couldn't fit neither the main and secondary screen, either too narrow or too square (4:5 main screen)

Simply magical
My favorite smartphone of all time is the iPhone 4s, but today this phone takes center stage. Samsung listens to their users and pushes the boundaries of next generation features. The galaxy fold can replace 90% of what I do on a computer unfolded and when I need to do somthing quick the cover screen is big enough for that task. It's leagues above anything considered a smartphone. I've never had a magical experience till I opened up the fold 3, every other phone I've owned was the same candy bar design. Many may criticize that the folding screen is gimic, I believe they been indoctrinated to believe that owning multiple devices is the way to go i.e. tablet + smart phone + laptop. The fold 3 is the one true phablet for everyone.

Worth the upgrade!
I bought the Fold 2 last year and returned it within a week. It was good, but this phone took it to another level. I've been using the Note 20 Ultra for the last year and even though I loved that phone I'm so glad I upgraded. I feel like this phone fixed a lot of the durability issues and I don't feel like I have to baby it. Although the camera is basically the same as last years, this one takes in more light and makes for better pictures. I love that there's no hole punch. The biggest improvement from my perspective is the inner screen. It feels and looks so much better than the Fold 2. It feels more like glass, isn't a fingerprint magnet and the enhanced durability is noticeable. I would highly recomend this phone.

I purchased the pre-order via the chat and it was so easy and from night to day it arrived unlocked with essentials. If you like large screen and the power that it comes with it, this is the phone for you. I can't say enough on the ease of using it like the finger print authentication is seamless and quick. My concern is that I wish they would of come out with the right case for it that is see through with kick stand and holder with a magnetic port for the S pen. This is an expensive product so why not have the very best case, it needs to fit and wait for it, needs the outer hinge to proctect the phone. The phone itself is OUTSTANDING. I live for Samsung products. Thank you.

Great phablet and phone, all in one!
I really do think the price is justified on just what you are getting with
this device. I hear the price being the biggest barrier for potential customers. You need to remember that this device is a small tablet and cell phone, all in one. You get the large real estate on the inner screen and then the cover display for quick calls ,msgs, or just to view recent notifications. If you buy a high end small tablet (of which there are none Android specific) with a snapdragon 888 and 12 gb of ram and then a high-end phone (with the same mentioned specs) you would easily be paying about $ 1,000.00 each in today's market. Here you are getting both combined and with a folding screen to boot, at a better cost. When you are done using it open (as a small tablet), then you can just fold it up and tuck it away into your pants. I don't wear cargo pants or baggy jeans and this device still fits comfortably in my pant/shorts pocket. Beside the portability and form factor, samsung also added water resistance this year, to help hold up the device if you need to occasionally answer/make calls in the rain. I get great cell reception with the z fold 3 and I am pleased with it's great ability to make clean calls. A lot of phones miss the mark on quality mics for calls; the z fold 3 doesn't. Multitasking is a dream and better than any other comparable device. There is just nothing out there close to the usability of the z fold 3. Photos are good for what is needed and this phone couldn't fit the latest camera tech in a form factor this sleek. People wanting s21 ultra cameras in this device would have hated a thicker and heavier device, as a result. Overall, I would definitely recommend the z fold 3. Hope you enjoy a taste of the future of cellular devices!

This phone raises the bar to an unbeatable level!
The Z Fold 3 is the new bench mark for any phone out there! My main use is for work and will never go back to a normal phone. The ease of using the front screen for quick replies is great, but the unfolded screen to view and edit map drawings of sites and multitasking between different apps is phenomenal! This phone has upped my productivity at work without a doubt! Pulling the trigger on the price tag was hard, but now that I have been using this phone for about a week now, I would do it again and again! I am a long time Android user, and all of the apps that I have been using still work without an issue. Some games will still open up with a smaller view or will be cut off as they are not updated to the Folds field of view, but those are games and updates will come. Keep up the great work Samsung! This is the phone to beat!!

Great Screen - okay features
Having had a Pixel since the Pixel 1(owned 1-5) first came out this was my chance to return to a Samsung device. I work in an industry where the fold just seemed to make sense. I love this phone for what it is. The only gripe I have is the OS Google gave me vs the samsung overlay was way better. Yes, I can download different things to change the experience I'm receiving but, this is an out of the box review and I give the nod to Google. The phone feels sturdy, the size is just right, however it is very slippery and that case Samsung is selling is absolute trash. All in all 4 of 5. Probably won't go back to Pixel until they release a fold that feels as good as this one does in my hands.

My First Z Fold.
My first Z Fold device arrived as advertised pre-ordered from the Samsung website. I was a bit apprehensive about the perches but once it's unfolded there's no going back...!!! The screen has a splash of vibrant colors with luxurious visual real-estate that also has snappy response time as advertised. Put it this way, in time the expanding screen form factor is what everyone will want especially for mobile gaming...!!!

Love the Fold3 5g
I got this on launch. It's been great. Very good replacement for the Note series. I loved my Note phones, always have, but this is the step forward for those of us that like big screens and still need it in the pocket. The option Pen makes it a perfect fit. I do wish the pen worked when not open. Minor, but def a downside IMO.

Beautiful Display
After one solid week of full usage, I have decided to keep the phone. I was hesitant at first for the following reasons (and still am having a few lingering doubts)
- Battery life, its just not as good as the Note 10+ I was using. I can get through a day of normal use, its still good, just not as good. I also wouldn't expect it to be given the added screen so I understand there is a give/ take
- Front screen Keyboard is small and difficult to type on. The narrow front display is where most of the day to day comes from and the keyboard is very small. I have gotten used to it but not great if you fat finger on a regular
- No S-Pen storage. Unless you want to deal with a folio case (I hate them) you will not have SPen storage. This may be my biggest gripe
- Its terribly expensive. I would never have paid full price. I did take advantage of the generous trade in and store credit. Otherwise I would not have purchased

Couldn't wait to receive my pre-ordered Fold 3.
Smart Switch worked flawlessly to transfer from my S20+.
Having this phone is the best of two worlds. A regular smaller, easier to handle cell phone, yet when I open it up it so perfect for gaming, photo viewing, e-mailing etc.
The features, design and functionality are true to Samsung's dedication to the end user's needs and wants.
Great job. Wish I could have gotten this years ago

I pre-ordered the phone and received it on the 26th.ive watches many reviews on the phone prior to preordering so I knew exactly what I was getting into. It's an amazing phone especially for multitasking purposes . Use as a main phone on the front screen or open it up to view content on a bigger inner screen.
This is my review so in going to be totally hones. The only downside is the small battery for a device this size. Doesn't give much battery life other than that ..... I love it

I pre-ordered the fold 3 and received it on the 27th. I have always had the note series and thought I would give this phone a try. So far it's great, watching videos is way better on the open screen, and texting is easier on the closed screen. I would definitely buy again.

I'm no longer bored with my phone
I've been using an iPhone for many years, but was frankly bored with the form factor of typical slab phones. Of the course over the years, I've heard a lot of bad things about Android being ugly and clunky, but did my research, waited until gen 3, and bought a Z Fold 3. It has been everything I'd hoped for so far. The UI is snappy as heck, and unbelievably tweakable, the form factor is terrific, and there is no going back to a "small" phone screen again. My only complaints at this stage are a lack of great case options to try out, and my battery life could be better. I should also mention that I use this phone through our BYOD system with my employer. The way Android and One UI handle a work account is vastly superior to my experience on iOS. All of my work apps are kept separate from my private apps, and I can toggle the "Work" profile off and on whenever I want to unplug from the office. Outstanding.

Admittedly, I was worried and hesitant upgrading from my Note 20 Ultra to the Z Fold 3. This is my first foray in the foldable phone realm. However, all my worries have been squashed since freeing my Z Fold 3 from it's fancy box. The outer display, though a little narrow for my taste, is excellent. The inner display... HUGE! Using the inner display gives you a fully immersive experience! I don't think that I can go back to a regular mobile phone after experiencing the Z Fold 3! Very pleased and happy with my device!

Perfect entertainment device
Received the phone as soon as it was available, so far its been great the battery life is honestly astounding as I'm avid gamer and student using my phone to both game and take notes. The phone holds up so well handling graphic heavy games like genshin impact, league wild rift like a boss. My favorite feature of the phone is the split screen productivity as I'm able to have a textbook open on one half while having my homework application on the other the transitions are seamless. Being able to watch videos while scrolling through other social media's makes me feel spoiled as someone who upgraded from a galaxy note 10 it feels like have 2 phones working at the same time when I use the split screen function. The fold takes some time getting use to. I'd reccomend not getting the cover that includes the S pen it really makes the phone uncomfortable hold as it hangs over a lot. But besides that accessory the phone is amazing

Z Fold3 - Another Leap in the Evolution of Phones
I was a proud and happy Z Fold2 owner, until I heard about the Fold3. The upgrades are well worth the price! From the first foldable to be water resistant to the S-Pen functionality to it's tight hinge, I fell in love with it with the first un-folding. And I will keep this phone FOREVER - or until Samsung wows me with the Fold4!!!!

Great hardware; Apps needs better optimization
I really enjoy using my Z Fold devices both the 3 and my previous 2. Perfect for business owners who need lots of screen space for multitasking. The added S Pen is nice, but there is no functional case from either Samsung or 3rd party manufacturers that can ergonomically incorporate a place holder for it. Most apps are great, but some do not support multitasking or flex mode. Samsung does address this with the Labs section in setting, but its not perfect. Samsung is not to blame as all their applications are, obviously, supported. It is up to app developers to evolve with the folding phone market and start optimization for these devices. Other wise this phone is the best choice if you have tablet needs, but with the convenience of a phone.

Great outside screen
This would have been a 5 stars easily if they had included the basic accessories like charger, earphone, or a s pen. Everything I was hoping for in this Z fold 3 were there, except for the lack of the sd card. The outside screen is very functional and works just like the big folding screen inside. It's very convenient if you want to do some quick tasks. The fold in between is very little noticeable. The fingerprint sensor is on the right side though, which is not convenient like the onscreen. The size is surprising comfortable to fit in my hand and pocket when folded. It's kinda expensive though even after trading.

Perfect replacement for note series
This is the first phone I've ever pre-ordered and boy was I not disappointed! It took me a little be to get used to, but now I'll never go back to any other line or brand. The only thing I hope they change in the next iteration of this series would be to add the s pen slot like the note line has. Add that and this would be the Greatest phone of all time!

Still a Fold believer!
Take it from someone who was first in line for the Fold, the Fold 2, and now the Fold 3; I've had them all. This is a great phone. The incremental improvements to the Fold series have been on-target and the Z Fold 3 is the best so far. The usability with the S Pen is really great, although I am wishing that you could write on the outside screen...perhaps that'll happen on the "4". But nothing beats the incredible folding screen with its superb images. I take tons of pictures so it really helps to have the giant screen for editing and just for showing pics to people. The fingerprint reader is something I always use and I notice a marked improvement from the Fold 2. The processor is phenomenal--no lag, no hesitation of any kind, even with a bunch of windows open. And you have to try DeX. I have been using DeX since the S8 and it is truly a desktop replacement. All in all, the Fold 3 is an incredible phone and as long as you use a modicum of care in handling. It can take abuse, sure, but just not as much as a slab phone. One huge weakness of this phone is not really with the phone itself but with the unbelievably terrible cases that are available for it. I have not found a suitable one yet in all 3 generations of the phone. Perhaps as the phone becomes more mainstream, this will not be as much of an issue. All in all, I recommend the phone highly. Don't get it because you want to show it off--get it because it is a very versatile and useful piece of equipment. Like me, you won't want to go back to a non-folding phone again.

Just recently purchased and received my new unit. The Z3 is absolutely wonderful! I like the Note20 ultras video recorder better that what the Z3 offers. Not too sure if I got a defective unit. But when using the video recorder feature, it glitches when you move the phone... when the video is played back. What ever you seen happen is exactly how it recorded.

I have had this phone for over a month now and love the fact that it turns into a tablet. I use it all the time and then it folds right back into the size of a phone to fit in my pocket.
Using 2 different apps on the same screen has never been so simple on any phone I have owned in the past. People I know and strangers that happen to be watching me open and close it from phone to tablet are very impressed. Definitely an eye catcher with great features.

Z-fold is everything I hoped
I have always been happy with my smartphone phones- but whenever I do research or need to fill out applications etc- I would wait til I got to my laptop or desktop. The open foldable gives enough screen space to make it easy and convenient to use and increase the tasks that I perform on my phone. It truly gives the phone experience with the space of a tablet. I love it.

Whether you want a bigger screen when playing a game or watching a show while on the toilet at work, or your just tried of caring around a phone and a tablet this is your new device.
Fast, lots of storage, wireless charging, water proof huge screen and excellent camera make this phone a contender on anyone's list. I got the phone at release and it quickly won me over.
Yes, you do get a ripple where the screen bends, but it is barely perceptible except under certain lighting conditions. It doesn't bother me at all under day to day usage.
Surprising battery life also.

Interesting
I really like this phone. Its a tablet, a phone, and great camera all in one. I love that there is a pen holder on the case I have.
The unfolding of the phone must be done gently. I worry that pressure from my fingernails could scratch or chip the screen. Its heavy and a bit thick but quite manageable. It fits in the leg pocket of my scrubs.
The zfold 3 comes with 1 free screen replacement which hopefully I wont need for awhile. I had previously had the s20+ and wasnt so thrilled. It seemed to lag a lot but the led case was so nice. I broke the screen bumping it on a wall. I wasnt too happy since the phone was 6 months old. Living in Florida the humidity is very high and the screen had to be fixed
I have said the value is a 3 because I cant believe the $1800 price tag. That is quite steep. But it offers incredible convenience and storage in one little package.

A true game changer
After a week of using the Fold 3 alongside my iPhone, I have tended to use my Fold more so for it’s capabilities than I thought I would. It’s so nice being able to use the front screen on the fly and if you need a bigger work surface, instead of grabbing your tablet, you just open it up and boom, huge work surface! With the addition of the s pen I think this truly can replace everything the Note was capable of doing. I hope in the next generation the s pen is built in instead of in a case!

My favorite Samsung phone so far!
I preordered my phone, switching from the S20 Ultra 5G, I got it in the mail a day before launch day, everything about this phone is a greatly improved from refresh rate, camera quality/stability, and battery life (averaging 18 hrs on a full charge with moderate usage) the front screen is a comfortable size and is fully functioning, open up to a beautifully large screen on the inside, looks incredible on all videos and makes typing much faster and more fun, I must admit the fold crease in the screen in the middle is a bit more intense than I was anticipating but is hardly noticeable when playing a video, but do look forward to seeing the improvement on that, overall excellent phone would give 9.5/10

On the Right Track
I tested this phone and enjoyed several of the features. However, the tablet's resolution is not quite good enough. The grid being a 5x6 grid for such a large screen meant that the "real estate" you get is actually still very limited. Everything is just larger, not making very good use of the space provided. BUT, I will say that is really the only issue I had with the phone. Everything else was great. Response was fast, the switching from small to large and large to small is good with the apps that support it. My recommendations, from an IT specialist's point of view, Add an S Pen that can be stored in the device like the note, and give the tablet screen better resolution. It's almost there, great job Samsung!

Not a Note but Almost
I have had all the Note series phones and was reluctant to trade in my Note 20 Ultra' but I took the leap. The Z fold 3 is a nice phone but take some adjusting going between a super slim screen and a really large screen. The happy medium when it comes to the screens is missing and would love a larger front screen. I love the large screen but hate the front screen. Overall I would recommend the phone because besides my issue with the smaller screen e everything my note could do, the z fold can do and plus a little more. People moving to a foldable will definitely need to adjust to this phone but it's not lackluster at all.

Best phone ever
Bought this phone 2 weeks ago and had a ton of issues which included a stolen order, police report, reordering a new phone but those hardships were worth it for this phone. Its not heavy at all, battery life decent, camera pretty good. Lot of critics may downplay whatever they can but this is hands down the BEST phone out there! I have been advertising the fold 3 to my friends, only thing is stopping them is the price but it is well worth it, completely life changing

Perfect wide screen with S-pen
I have used Z Fold2 and changed to Z Fold3 one week ago. I am fully satisfied with the Z fold3. The hinge is more solid and firm than before, the harder inside display with the S-pen application is perfect harmony for a foldable phone. But, the higher price is still a kind of problem.

A major upgrade that's taking some getting used to
I upgraded from an S10 to this phone and overall it is a really slick phone. No expandable storage, but 256gb was more than enough. The cover phone case (with S Pen) is kinda meh, but I'm liking the S Pen. The smaller front screen is useful in quicker smaller tasks and the unfolded screen turns heads, doesn't feel cheap, and really feels like a fold-up tablet in your pocket. Definitely feel like an soccer mom taking pictures on an iPad sometimes! That's really what this phone is: A hybrid between your S(Number) and a tablet.
The trade in deal made it worth it for me with my older phone. Happy hunting!

Best Phone I've EVER owned!
I've always wanted a foldable phone ever since the concept was pitched. With the under-display camera now on the foldable series I pre-ordered it before the unboxing event was even finished! Whatever you want or need to do on a phone are here on the z fold 3. Taking pictures and using the features feel easier to use as well, especially with the ability to use the front screen as a picture preview!

I am coming off on a Note 10Plus and everything about the Z Fold 3 has blown me away. I have changed how I use my device making it more of a daily life planner and using Candy Bar mode for simple downtime stuff.
This device has gone beyond expectations and I can't wait to see what comes next.

Almost perfect.
Samsung was able to fixed a lot of my complaints from last year model.
This one has a more refund build. The hinge is better than the fold 2. The front screen is 120hz everything is beautiful. However... Nothing is perfect...
The UDC in the inner display is awesome. Really immerses you in the content. Also pen support is super cool. I myself find myself not using it that often... It's kinda a hassle to carry around the pen.
The Snapdragon 888 chip is a very hot chip. Gaming on it has been hit or miss. I get really bad frames in games like Genshin Impact it could just need a software update. On my older fold 2 in never had any throttle issues.
Also this year model battery took a toll. I'm barely making it through the day with 4-5 hours of on screen time. I somehow have to plug it mid day to keep it alive.

Overall good but still needs improvements.
The under the display selfie camera needs to be drastically improved. its very obvious the pixelation while watching any content with a clear background. Also when trying to do a video call you, can see the lights behind you distorted. For a phone that cost over US$2000 (taxes included) the cameras should be better. Samsung's plan has been to discontinue the Note series which was really notorious for its sharp and clear pictures and videos. Coming from a Note 20 Ultra myself it's one of the things that I missed in this new device. I welcome innovation and pushing the envelope and Samsung I think is going in the right direction with this phone. I believe by the 4th maybe 5th iteration of this device, things like the weight, cameras and display will be drastically improved.

The Fold 3 Unfolded!
I've had the Fold 3 for almost a month now and like all new form (shape, size) phones. It does require some getting used to in terms of how you hold it against your ear to speak, how to type messages, how to browse while seated and while in bed.
A new car mount is in order if used as a GPS while driving. It is as robust as the Note 20, dropped it a couple of times and have had it swim in some water in the bathroom sink.
The experience of browsing whole folded and unfolding it to see more detail is just satisfying. Woohoo! Can't wait until the next Samsung fold gadget comes out!

Unique, Innovative Design
I bought this about a month ago and it's my first 'top of the line phone'. I used to get super cheap phones, but this year I decided to spoil myself. So far I absolutely love the big screen this phone has. I use it to draw and take notes, but it also revolutionizes watching videos. Samsung's interface is also very pleasant and user friendly. My only issue with it is that when folded closed the screen is a little skinny, I wished the screen went over the little border it has on the left. Other than that I've recommended this phone to several people. I love it!

Apple to Z Fold 3
I've never got tempted to switch from apple till this phone dropped. What a life changing experience. All my concerns about being able to see the the middle crease were gone the first time I got on this phone. Your rarely notice the crease. The pixelated camera on the fold screen is also easy to ignore. It is way better than a black dot. I would recommend this phone to anyone.

Love it!!!
I use my phone for business and pleasure and and I love that I can go from doing simple tasks on the front, unfold ,and then comfortably start drafting an email or signing documents for work. My first phone was a samsung note but my late phone was an iPhone. One thing that I missed a lot about my samsung when i first switched over to iPhone, and am having more appreciation for now that I have it back is the split screen. I loved it on my old samsung and i love it even more now that I have a bigger screen to make the process of using it more comfortable. I have showed my phone to all my family, friends, and Co-workers and have even convinced a few of them to really think about switching from there current phone to a flip or a fold. Everyone that I have showed my phone to loved it and kept saying they wanted one for themselves.

I bought the Z Fold 2 back when it was released. I loved it, but there were just too many uncertainties to keep it so I returned it and went with the Note 20 Ultra instead (also great BTW). This time around, Samsung addressed most of the issues that I had - durability questions, lack of water resistance, s-pen support, etc. I'm so glad that Samsung addressed so many improvements that the community has brought up. This time, I'm keeping the phone and enjoying greatly. This is not to say that there are not improvements that could still be made. I would love to see a built in s-pen and better battery life, but I understand there is an evolution here and I feel that this phone was a great jump forward. Keep up the good work Samsung!

I wanted a folding phone since the original Fold
Preordered and received 3 days prior to actual release date and it exceeded my expectations. What a beast of a phone!
PROs:
- Huge, gorgeous screen
- 5G
- Reading is a pleasure. It's bigger than Amazon eReaders! I haven't use my Kindle ever since I got Z Fold 3!
- Browsing the web is so much better
- Takes less room in my pocket than my Note 9
- Nice weight. Feels comfortable in the hand
- Pen support is great
- All applications work well folded and unfolded
Only 1 CON:
- Price is a bit high. Even after trade-in it was around $1200

S Pen
I bought the Galaxy Z Fold3 phone as an upgrade from the original Galaxy Fold. It is better in so many ways:
- Bigger outer display
- 120hz refresh rate on both screens
- Under display camera on the inner display
- Ultra thin glass
- More durable
- More dust resistant
- Water resistant
- S Pen support
- Fingerprint reader is also the power button
- Flex mode
- Software optimized for larger inner display
- Cheaper base price
I love everything about the phone so far. The only thing that is negative isn't about the phone, but more about what doesn't come with the phone. I would have like to have a case and buds or USB C audio adapter included in the box, but it's not a deal breaker. However, it is unacceptable that the a power adapter is not included in the box. I don't really care about the reasoning behind it. It's the simple fact that the device cannot be used without it. Therefore, it's not optional, it's a required item. Assuming that the consumer already has one is an irresponsible solution. The power adapter should be included with the device, even if it comes at the cost of increasing the purchase price.

Surprised at How Much I Like It
I am a former Note user. I got the Fold3 because of the great trade-in offer. After hearing about how fragile they were, I didn't think I'd like it. I was wrong. The build quality is solid and I think this phone is THE PHONE for gaming, watching movies and multitasking. The smaller display works for me as well for a quick text or Google search. The phone is slightly heavier (which adds value to me) and overall a very usable size. Only issue is the S Pen not being stored inside the phone. It makes the S Pen less part of the phone. If they added a Note S Pen inside, it would be almost perfect. Coming from many years with the Note, I can highly recommend this phone.

Mini tablet, or superphone, or perhaps botb
I noticed that I was using my phone more than ever leading up to the announcement of the Z fold three, but I thought that it might be too much or too expensive. After a very generous trade-in deal, plus some other discounts and benefits that I did not know I had before, I ended up pulling the trigger and I have not been happier since. The sheer size of the open fold allows me to do more productivity than I would have expected. I do not use the multitasking feature as much as I would have expected, but it has been exceptional for letting me explore my creative side with digital drawings, as well as having a surprising amount of benefits in gaming. I do not regret anything with my phone purchase, and my wife is seeing if it may be a good fit for her too.

The future is folding!
I preordered this with Samsungs generous trade in credit and preorder deal. Its been phenomenal. I cannot go back to a regular phone after using this. I literally can't put it down. Only issue I've encountered is the phone arriving with a tiny fracture on the side of the curved glass. It actually grew larger but with the included Samsung Care I can easily get it fixed. There id slight click when it opens as well which im unsure of if its normal or not. Camera makes the phone hot when recording 60 FPS UHD also. But so far it seems to be just fine. Overall excellent product, worth every dollar. The future is here!

Almost everything I wanted!
I've wanted to join the folding phone gang since the fold 1, however the fragility of the device combined with the exceedingly high price tag has been what's holding me back. With the newest generation of fold being water resistant, plus the outstanding trade in values given with pre-ordering, I made the leap. I am mostly satisfied! I am ecstatic about both the exterior and interior displays. Coming from a Note 20 Ultra, the exterior display is the perfect size for 1 handed tasks such as making phone calls, sending a quick text, etc. The interior display is amazing for literally anything ( actually typing this review out on it). You usually can't see the crease or the under display camera during full screen games or videos. The built in screen protector on both the inside and outside feel very nice and smooth, they do not feel "like plastic".
I do wish the phone was more durable (interior display being more scratch resistant). I chose to not purchase the S Pen fold due to reading other users reviews of scratching their interior displays with it. I was also disappointed in the lack of colors to choose for the 512g version. I personally wanted the silver/white version, but that color combo is not being manufactured for 512g of storage. I was also disappointed that the hinge isn't color customizable like it was on the fold 2. Another disappointment is that usually there are benefits to choosing more storage, such as more RAM for your device like on Samsungs other flagship devices. The bump from 12gigs to 16gigs would have been nice.
The camera quality on the device isn't as bad as some reviewers make it seem, but the front camera on the interior display is absolute garbage. Honestly it's barely acceptable for something as basic as a zoom call or other form of video chats. My final complaint is the lack of inclusive items includes with the phone. The original fold, which had a similar price tag, included ear buds and a charging brick. This phone doesn't even include a brick. All in all, I love the fold 3 and all it brings to the table. I am satisfied with my purchase, no buyers remorse. However, its not for everyone and every lifestyle.

Incredible device
I have used samsung z fold 2 previously and I just bought the z fold 3 and it feels amazing to use. It feels a lot more durable that the z fold 2 and it feels like a really solid device overall.

Not as good a the Z FOLD2
Had all the Samsung Note devices and I currently own the Z Fold 2 for almost a year. The new Z Fold 3 does not come even close. No decent upgrades, poor color selection and looks very cheap made.

The Z Fold 3 is incredible
I originally had the Z fold 2 a d traded it in for the Z Fold . The addition of water resistance and 12 months of care are icing on the cake. The screens are vibrant and the speed is unmatched.

Excellent phone
The phone arrived a week ago. Easy to set up and transfer data from my old Samsung phone. The fold 3 take great photos. Easy to figure out the features of the phone.
It's about as tall as the galaxy 20 ultra, and very slightly thicker than the ultra. The fold 3 is narrower so easier to hold than a regular cell phone. Unfolded the inside screen is big enough to read a paper on or play a game.
The colors on the screen are vivid and bright. Sound quality is good. Battery life will last about 10-12 hours before needing to recharge, but recharging is very quick
A very good phone. Worth the money

My other devices don't get used anymore!
This is my first foldable device and it has changed the game for me. Playing games, watching videos or using flex mode for video calls the fold just makes everything on mobile easier.
If you add a Bluetooth controller you get an amazing gaming device with so many streaming options. I've been playing fifa 21 with stadia. I also got a year free uber eats delivery and $30 fandango tickets.
If you are considering this go for it. I won't go back to a normal phone ever again. This has changed the game.

Samsung has made the perfect foldable
My work paid for a new iPhone every year so I always got myself a Samsung and every generation I've used the Galaxy more. I love my S20 Ultra and it's big screen but it was too large for a pants pocket and too large for my car's wireless charger. The Fold 3 solves all my issues and the screen when opened is even larger, brighter and colors look better than ever. Folding it in half allowed it to fit where the S20 won't and the metal hinge/bevel/back feel solid and safe. Was afraid to pull the trigger because of the lack of water resistance in previous generations of foldable phones but they solved that too and pictures look just as good as the on the 108 mp S20. It's even surprising affordable when you take advantage of the sales and trade in promotions. If you're on the fence, take the chance, you won't regret it!

Amazing for entertainment
This is an entertainment powerhouse. I love that I have both a phone and a tablet on me at all times. Now when I want to share something with friends or family, I use the large screen. I do wish there were more case options, but that's an entirely separate thing. I love the new S Pen support with this model. I was sad about the new Note being canceled, but now I'm definitely not missing it. The pre-installed screen protectors are also a nice touch. I haven't felt the need to remove or replace them. Overall, I love this thing and wouldn't go back. (And if you're afraid the small screen is too small, it's very easy to get used to...or you'll find yourself opening the fold! Problem solved!)

Note, what I expected
Coming from a note 20 ultra I feel like I wasted money on sidegrading as it wasn't actually an upgrade. Sure I can now fold the phone out to have a larger screen however I wish the folded screen was wider. Honestly the folded screen is really to small to be of much use meaning I'm constantly folded out...speaking of that it's weird box aspect ratio takes some getting use to as does coming from underglass fingerprint reader to side reader..
It does perform its phone duties but still for the price I'm really regretting getting it.

So far so good.
I have had this phone for over a month now, and so far I love it. The display and speed are what I love the most. If there was anything I would say needs work would be optimizing the full screen display to work better with apps. That is the only thing that kept me from giving it 5stars.
However other than that, I love this phone so far.

Not regret to upgrade note 20 ultra to Z Fold 3
When the Z Fold3 had pre-order, it took 2 days before I decide to go ahead and pre-order the Z Fold3. Based on Fold2, there are so much worries on Fold3 especially the screen quality and camera quality. However, once I received it and use it for 2 weeks now, I would say that I satisfy with the phone and overall features and quality. I love this phone so much. The photo quality are awesome and no worry at all. The screen quality also awesome. I love the overall features of the phone. With bigger screen, better watch experiences and playing games.

Setting a new standard for premium phones
I pre-ordered this phone and received it a couple of weeks ago. This is the first time I've bought a phone that retails over $1000 ($1799), but its not fair to say that its just a phone. It's a two-in-one phone and tablet and structures its cost appropriately... perfect for anyone that has been frustrated with using a phone screen to read a menu (during covid), update an excel sheet, or read an ebook. Simply open up the cover and you get instant access to a Star Trek-like tablet. The promo offers, trade-in credits, and bundle savings I stacked with additional accessories like the Buds Pro and Watch4 sealed the deal for me.
The phone itself is thicker than normal phones when stacked (its folded, obviously) but not too much heavier than a Note20, and the width when folded is very comfortable to grip.
Now the phone is slippery to hold and wobbly (camera bump) without a case, so you definitely need one. I already dropped the phone on the ground to give it a champagne dent. But I blame that on the backordered case that I was hoping would arrive at the same time as the phone. I also noticed some performance issues when multitasking (Google Maps directions, Zoom call and then opening the camera app for a quick pic) despite the 12Gb memory. It also warms up pretty fast using Wi-Fi and 5G. Oh well, all in all the phone itself is wonderful and worth all that has happened!

A Fold to Behold... a perfect culmination.
When I first considered getting the fold, I felt glutinous. Like, who needs this much phone? But after getting it and unleashing its beautiful fold, I didn't care. Like, look at me and my glorious folding tablet of a phone, without a shame or care. Even now, I avoid opening as I feel like my eyes are not worthy of its greatness. But nay, as soon as I force myself to indulge, I get lost in it's full glory. The Fold is snappy and, though the camera may be a downgrade over my previous Samsung Galaxy 20 FE, it can still take the type of pictures that "Wowed" everyone before, so I'll concede my regrets and instead take notice of the things that I didn't have before. Like a 7.6'' QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X (22.5:18) Infinity Flex Display with 2208x1768 resolution. I mean... I think that's all I need to say. Its freaking glorious.

The convenience of a smartphone and a Mini-Tablet with it fully open is the best of both worlds. Opened up is great to read emails or documents or even playing games.

This phone nearly has it all. If only it had s-pen support on the front screen I would rate this a 5 of 5. UCD Camera on the fold out screen should be higher pixels. 4 MP isn't satisfactory. It needs better cases. Even the Samsung cases don't really work well with it.

Foldable perfection!
When first Samsung fold appeared I was sceptical, than I saw the improvments you made from Samsung fold to Samsung fold 2 and I knew Samsung Fold 3 will be perfection.
I bought first Samsung Fold 3 as a gift for my boyfriend and he liked it soo much I got jelause, because he was teasing me so decided to buy one for me as well.
The experience of watching a movie on big screen is amazing and so realistic.
The rear cameras are just awesone, I'm in love with directors cut feature.
I bought bundle with mobile phone, protective case and charger trio and I'm very satisfied with all three. It's very convenient to be able to charge my phone, earbuds and active watch at same time.
I'm in love with Samsung products and I was very happy that I was able to buy this perfection.

Fold 3 is everything I ever wanted in a phone!
I bought the Fold 2 when it came out and honestly I was taking a bit of a chance on something different. I previously had the Note 8 then the Note 9 and I was constantly using the stylus. And I only ever used aux jack headphones. The Fold 2 I had read was a great improvement on the Fold series and I thought I would try giving up the stylus for a larger screen. Switching from a phone to tablet was near seamless and I got by with a larger screen and finger typing to replace my stylus. All this is leading up to the Fold 3, seamless switching from phone to tablet, stylus support, a large battery that lasts, a rigid hinge that I don't have to fear breaking with everyday use. And to top out off with the added water resistance! I'm sold on the Fold and I've been rocking the Fold 3 for the last couple weeks. I have no doubt the Fold line with continue to impress and I look forward to it!

One week with z fold 3
I switched from a note 10 plus 5g to the z fold 3 because it finally supports the S pen. Many cool features that no other phone has. Downside is battery life and cameras should be better for a phone at this price. I would have paid a bit more if they had addressed these 2 items. Love the phone but not perfect.

Amazing multi-tasking
Had the fold 2 and this is definitely a upgrade, looks better, and the multi tasking is even easier, nevee going back to a regular phone, the weight is only slightly less then the 2, good battery, should last a whole day if not a little more depending on use. Front camera is a bit disappointing but you can just use the rear camera as the front camera since this phone can unfold! Rear camera isnt the best but its definitely still nice, same as the fold 2 i believe. The only reason its not a 5 star is for camera and weight, althought im sure its hard to get a good price if they added their best cameras, and hard to reduce the weight since its technically like 2 phones together.

Amazing Phablet
I've had the Z fold 3 for a week now and it has been amazing. Most programs work well and is very easy to use on the main display. Even the transitions from the outter screen to inner screen is smooth. The battery life is average, but considering it is powering two screens running at 120hz refresh rate still pretty good. Besides that, the fold is just beautiful to look at and hold. 10/10 would recommend.

Most versatile phone ever
Since the phone is both compact and reasonably thin when folded, one could use it as a typical phone without unfolding it ever. But, the beauty lies in opening it up when you have the space to use it unfolded - the screen is fantastic and the controls/keyboard are well thought out for such a big footprint. It's expensive, but it's a great phone.

Intuitive and multipurpose driven
I have always been a Note fan and user. I traded in my note 10+ to upgrade to the Fold 3 to take advantage of the option of larger screen and the faster responsiveness. I took advantage of the package deal which was we'll worth it.. The S pen is not as nice as the note series and I do miss the Internal storage for the pen,, but that will take getting use to the external storage.. I love the option of the expanding workable space for web content.
Great investment. I have only had t he Fold 3 for almost 1 month and looking forward with exploring the many options it has.

Big Screen, easy to use
I have purchased every Note since the Note3 came out. I was very skeptical going to a Z Fold. The screens are very impressive as well as the battery life. Battery gives me a full day without needed to charge, something I was worried about considering the large screen. The S-Pen is nice but not having a slot for it does limit its use. I did get the case with a pen slot but the case does not seem to stay closed over the top of the screen, causing the screen to turn back on after closing case. Its a beautiful phone and attention grabber but makes things much easier to do on an everyday basis. (Google Chrome has tabs on this phone!!!) The Cameras are ok, but could be better. Outside of that, I am in love with my Z Fold 3.

The bigger is better applies here!
I've been using the fold 3 for a month and I haven't stopped feeling that awww moment.
Screen is gorgeous and bright. Phone is very responsive and quick. Customization is very good. S pen works wonderfully. Wireless charging is very cool. Battery life has been consistent and lasting all day for me (using lots of Netflix and YouTube).
Only thing I hoped for was an OEM case with stand and s pen holder. But third parties are coming to the rescue.
Face unlock is not that great on cover or main screen but the finger print sensor is quick.
Lots of features included and the Samsung members app promotions is something to feel rewarded with. Really like the fold 3.

Handling the Future!
The new Z Fold 3 is a sharp and beautiful set of displays. With 120hz the screens are buttery smooth, the new water resistant screen means I'm less worried about using the Z3 out and about.
It's great for playing games and watching videos, the Z fold 3 has replaced pretty much all my devices. I don't need a table anymore and I rarely have to go to my computer, as my phone has the capabilities to do it all!
Could not recommend this device enough! (I even wrote this review from the Fold!)

Great picture quality, colorful and nice audio
I bought this product inspired by the fact that you get 2 products in one: phone and tablet. With the phone unfolded you get a perfect size tablet with clear picture and an excellent stereo sound. Stunning!...But I am a man with big hands, so when Galaxy Z3 is folded, the keyboard in the front screen is a little bit narrow with the letters too small for my fingers, specially when you compare with the Galaxy Note 10 I was using previously. Then I decided to return it and order the Galaxy note 20 ultra.

So I spent time with both the flip and fold. Both phones are great. I decided to keep the fold. You just can't beat that big screen for movie watching and just basically having a tablet whenever you want. The only reason it's not 5 stars it's the cameras should off been at least s21ultra caliber. They are still good camera though. Also I wish they would bring MST back to Samsung pay

Amazing device with the biggest learning curve.
I've had this phone for about 3-4 weeks and already fell in love with it. Of course there are going to be some learning caveats and even then if you're a tried and true samsung/android enthusiast, you really don't need this device but it's such a refreshing and new experience to those of us that never had a folding phone. I believe what's making this device Uber popular at the moment is simply the trade in offers and deals going on, making it far more accessible than ever before. The screens are unparalleled and the sound is super immersive especially with the Dolby Atmos setting turned on. Good lock helps with a lot of the customization with the device, truly making it your own without having to use an unoptimized third party launcher. The only draw back is you won't get the absolute best photo and video quality experience when using the camera but they're all very passable. Definitely can't wait for the updates though as battery drain needed to be remedied via turning off 5g entirely because it wouldn't last past 4 hours in terms of screen on time. But nothing beats this device when it comes to gaming and multitasking. In a weird way it's almost a negative cause I'm constantly opening the phone like a fidget toy. Regardless thankfully I haven't noticed any mechanical issues and hopefully none in due time. I only wish the cases were more durable and thinner if physically possible without the necessary adhesives. I loved swapping cases off and on my phone but with this one you basically have to really choose one if it involves an adhesive since anything else will just snap right off if god forbid the phone happens to take a dive. Regardless I'm loving my device and can't wait to see any other future iterations they have in store.

Fold your life out
Aren't we all tired of using the same form factors of phones for the past decade? That's where the Fold comes in. It's one of a kind, it's unique. Contrary to the Z Flip, this is totally new. Something you need to experience to never go back to a candy bar phone ever again.
From the foldable aspect with a beautiful screen to the under screen camera, there's nothing that you'll miss about a normal phone. The build quality is top notch along with a beautiful design that complements the luxurious nature.

Amazing Screen & New Fatures
I absolutely love Samsung products. I switched from Apple to Samsung 4 years ago and started using note series and let me tell you the features that you get in Samsung is amazing and productive also at the same time pretty entertaining. After switching from note20 ultra to galaxy zfold I am never going back to any other phone. It's something from the future when you first unfold the device. The screen size is absolutely mesmerizing, you fall in love right there. My 2cents, give it a try and see if for your self.

Almost Perfect.
This years Galaxy Fold is as close to perfect as one could reasonably expect from a phone in it's third iteration. Almost every issue from the previous year has been addressed. The screen is now durable enough to be taken seriously while retaining it's vibrant colors. The body is stylish, yet strong. The phone also doesn't skimp on any features life reverse wireless charging or water resistance. The two areas where the phone could improve are their cameras and battery life. The cameras are good but not great. I could be biased because I did use the Galaxy S21 series extensively, but while the software does a great job with the processing of the image, it does not negate the fact that you are starting with a less detailed photo. The battery life follows the same vein. While the issues that some reviewers have complained about are overblown, I do find myself charging it twice a day. A lot of that has to do with the fact that the phone is addictive, but it still does feel like it could be better. Overall, I will rate the Fold 3 as a little above great and just short of outstanding.

Fell in love on the 3 week trial
I pre-ordered this device, and did the 3 week free trail. I wasn't convinced I'd trade in my Galaxy 21 Ultra, but then I fell in love with it. I also get a ton of compliments over this device from other people, and have several co-workers wanting to buy it now. I do miss the zoom on the Ultra and I also really dislike this Samsung case because the flap gets in the way trying to take selfies with the back camera. Other than that this phone is about perfect. Well, one other minor complaint is the fact that the latest update is from July, and that there isn't even an August or September security update released yet. Come on Sammy this is your premium device we shouldn't have to wait longer for security updates while the Galaxy Ultra already has the September update! Other than that this phone is amazing!

The phone has evolved
Easily the best phone I have ever used. It's versatility when it comes to multitasking is beyond anything I've used before. The concern of its durability has been disproven many times over, however I would still pay attention to what recommendations samsung suggests. Throw in the s pen and this is a heavy users dream come true.

This is my first folding phone I had pre order it and was so happy with the screen and speed of the phone. But I wish it had a stronger battery. This phone can not last with a single charge through one day. I find myself charging my phone multiple time through the day and most of the time I'm not using the big screen.

It would have been awesome it it wasn't for that..
I picked this up after Samsung offered that awesome deal on trade ins. I had the Fold Z 2 but decided to go back to the competition (we won't mention whom, but it is based in Cupertino). I loved the Fold Z 2 because it allowed me to write my books while having a phone all in one, but the camera left a little to be desired at night.
After I heard that the Fold Z 3 had some decent waterproofing (though had the same camera) as well as pen input, decided to go back. Can't mess with the responsiveness of the phone; flipping through apps and using several of them is a breeze. The Pen that came as a bonus works really well and the bigger canvans allows me as a writer to do a few things while I am editing. While the lenses on the camera are the same as the Fold Z 2 (night photos are still not very good, sadly) the day shots and those with good lighting (even at night) are more that sufficient to take some pretty decent shots (I wish they at least put the lenses from last year's S series...2022 maybe?). It honestly doesn't make me me miss my tablets and it is nice to have something that covers the majority of my needs (phone, mini and portable computer so I can write, etc).
Here is why, sadly, I had to knock off a star (and seriously considered knocing off two).
The battery life is atrocious.
If I am lucky I will get 7.5-9 hours of use before it either dies or begs to be recharged. It is nearly a backbreaker, but the joys I get from using the phone outweighs this fairly large flaw. Samsung made the battery smaller than last year's Fold Z 2 (at least I can get to 50% by the end of the day on that one) and with the 120hz refresh rate on it drops like a stone. Right now I have adjusted battery settings where I can keep the majority of the phone's great features and not lose too much (even tho I do notice the difference btw 60Hz and that beautfiul 120hz). Hopefully Samsung can either help the battery a little with some updates or figure out something next year with both the battery and at least bringing the cameras up to snuff for a $1,800 phone.
If you can put up with its shortcomings, it is an improvement in many ways, especially the hidden front camera (note, will have to use the selfie mode to get better pics) and the pen capabilities.
If you need a phone that can hang out all day, look at Samsungs other non-fold phones.w

I've been so intrigued by the whole foldable glass technology for smartphones and now that I have one, it's insane!! The clarity and color on the foldable touchscreen blows my mind! It's actually as big as an iPad mini when I open my phone, and lightning fast refresh too! I also got the largest capacity phone at 512GB! What?!?! On a phone?? I know, right?! All the other features I'm also really happy with, from the camera to the Samsung Android OS. I don't think I'll ever get an iPhone.

I bought the Z Fold3 expecting this to be an awesome device and I AM NOT disappointed! This device is solid and built well, it's not flimsy at all. You get all the goodness of a Samsung Galaxy, with added benefits, in an extra large size. I got a superb deal on the Samsung website- better than anything that was offered at any carrier. I also got the largest memory offering, which wasn't available at any carrier at the time too. Overall, im extremely happy and still excited about my Z Fold3. I highly recommend it to anyone on the fence. You get what you pay for.

Love this smartphone/mini tablet
This is my first foldable and I'm in love! Everything about this smartphone feels new because of this from factor but it's still very comfortable to use. I've used every Note from the Note 4 to the Note 20 Ultra, which I traded for this Fold 3 and I don't regret it! I also find myself using my tablet a lot less because of the inner screen on this device. Overall, a great product and unique experience make this easy to recommend.

At first when I upgraded from my S20 ultra it was hard getting use to a heavier device and a smaller/narrow screen. When folded out overall it is a insane beast. I've ran a few latest games and emulators on the phone and outstanding! 1st device to get Citra running 90 fps. Was running the new Apex legends mobile game at 120 fps and phenomenal gameplay! The 4 tabs of multi tasking is insane! I have recommended this device to many people that have seen me using it, yes they've bought a few from you guys and even got some iphone users to swap ;).

Heading In The Right Direction
I wanted to love the Fold 3 and a part of me still does. I just need there to be more consistency with the software. Like if I have an app in dark mode (FB for example), I should be able to see the app in dark mode regardless if I’m opening the app via the cover screen or the internal screen…. Currently not the case, or using features like the native visual voicemail feature requires too much work on the end user’s part to get up and running properly. Still early on the foldable journey, and I have faith that things will become more optimized for the form factor as they gain in popularity.

I being loyal note user have taken the plunge and haven't looked back. All the music production work I told myself I was going to do on the android phone I now do on the fold. A better experience for mobile computing than a tablet as I am always mobile. Excellent versatility and exquisite form factor. I love the thinner aspect front screen which is so convenient for viewing utube while waiting for take out. And being a left hand person I find the Samsung spen case especially well designed. No need for a pop socket one handed holding of the unit is now a breeze .

I can't say enough good things about this phone. As phones lately have been getting stale and simply quite boring out comes the Z3 and the way this phone makes you feel as you take it out its amazing. It's definitely a conversation starter and yes it could use a better camera for the price and a better implementation of the Spen but the feeling alone of having this phone is worth it. Microsoft Word and office in general is so easy and great to use.

Versatility at its Peak!
I've had the fold 3 for about 2 months now and I'm still impressed by this phone. I use the open screen to display a timer when I'm teaching HIIT classes and it's given the class assurance that we're staying on time and on schedule. Using the S-pen to write notes for my workouts and document how I felt about certain exercises has been great because I'm not held to only using symbols on the keyboard. I love this phone! I'll never go back to a standard device.

I wa s pretty skeptical of this phone, coming from Asus' ROG Phone 5, which in specs is a better phone, I was doubtful of battery life, capacity and in app optimization. I got surprised when trying it, phone is solid, does not feel cheap at all, I love the screen sizes, love how it goes. Battery is not bad but we all know theres room for improvements. Only downside is that once Bootloader is unlocked, F to camera. Kinda sad but can live with it

I like this phone but...
I like this phone, but there are two huge downsides, 1. The battery life is atrocious. It has been a long time since I had a phone that wouldn't last all day. 2. The s-pen doesn't act as a remote. I have the pro s-pen, but it is so big that it is like one of those joke pencils you used to give your friends in first grade. It is too heavy to write with and it won't fit in the spen case. I will likely go back to an old note. :(

Great phone; but tbh, Too new for its own good.
I really do enjoy the phone and what it has to offer; however, when it comes to trying to protect my investment, it's rather difficult. Finding a case and screen protector has been am absolute chore. Cases are extremely expensive, especially considering that they can be hard to utilize. Personally Finding a case that doesn't lift the screen protector off or block some functionality seems impossible. But I can accept this is pioneering new technology and thus we are the test subjects. I find myself more focused on protecting it instead of just using sometimes.

Z Fold 3 a great phablet
Love this phone. I know it's not for everyone but for me it's great for work and play. It's so easy to open the Fold and multi-task with multiple apps on the large display and the spen makes it soo much better. No issues using the front screen. Typing this review on it now and my big fingers can type just fine. Average 7 to 9 hours of screen on time with no battery saving tricks used. Traded in Note 20 Ultra and absolutely no regrets.

The screen is soft and you can tell its not glass but if you dont stick something sharp or avoid using nails its fine. The crease is barely visible/not distracting when using it on a decent to high brightness and centered. It is notible in bright areas due to reflection. My biggest gripe is that the cameras arent the best but for most people they are amazing, and most IMPORTANTLY, its horrible thermals and smells like smoke. Though thats only a problem when playing demanding games. could just be my unit.

Great phone
I bought this before it was released and have had it since the release date. It's a really nice phone with a lot of great features. The only issue is that it seems like the front screen breaks easily even with screen protectors on it.

Fabulous phablet!
I'm very happy with this phone. The huge screen is very useful. Took a bit to get used to the small screen after
owning a Note 10+. I use the Samsung airmate case, and I'm quite happy with it. I do wish it had expandable memory. We will have to see about the long-term hinge and folding screen durability.

Lasted for only 5 months!
Had the phone for only 5 months, just opened it like i normally do then i heard like a film creaking sound and when i saw it there's a black line in the middle section of the screen, the screen also doesn't respond to touch, i sent it back for repair thinking it would be covered by warranty but they said i have to pay more than $500 for it to get fixed cause the inner LCD was damaged, and even though i only opened it like always do. Talked to contact support and they said if the technician determined it's not covered by warranty it is not .. very disappointed paid almost $2k to get the phone and lasted for only 5 months, now i need to pay more than $500 to get it fixed even though i did no drop it or anything! Will never buy a folding phone again

Horrible battery life and operating system.
The battery needed charged two to three times a day without gaming or using multiple apps, went back to previous five year old phone that doesn't need charged all day. There are operating system that prevents apps from opening, leaving a blank screen, again the older phone has no issues opening any apps. Very disappointing after waiting 4 months for this phone. Research & Read Reviews, you'll hear the same excuses week after week.!

Great phone for 3months
Just like the rest of the people in this chain...
I got the phone, and it was the novelty...
It was nice watching videos and playing video games...
But after 3 months it developed a bubble in the inside screen.
Every time I opened the phone the protective film slowly became more and more detached.
Yesterday I was watching a video, and when I opened the phone a black line appeared right down the middle. 2min later the entire screen went black.
I took the phone to get repaired, but they claim physical damage from an extremely tiny scratch the phone has.
Don't waste your money... I always defended Samsung as the best... but this has disappointed me greatly.
Both the phone and the company as well.

The future is foldable
Hi just received my device and I've been using it as my main phone. Coming from an s20 ultra I can already feel the difference. The front screen can be used when I need to quickly send a message or look something up but the real experience comes from the inner display. I can see myself using this more than my tablet or laptop for media consumption. The crease is there but not a big deal for me. Overall 10\10, the novelty is there.

Third time is a charm
I bought the 512gb unlocked Fold 3. So far I'm very satisfied with the performance. Videos are a pleasure to watch and the phone is very responsive. My only complaint is the duplicate apps and the inability to remove them. I wish they would give us the choice in determining what we want to keep or remove from our phones. Overall, I'm happy with the phone.

Amazing phone that is "next level!"
Purchased via the pre-order option with Samsung and I'm impressed. Build quality is excellent with the phone's claims of multi-tasking and new innovations living up to expectations. Only disappointments center around the case w/S-pen (not best design and makes the phone bulky), and the under screen camera - I appreciate the new step of push different tech though...

I'll Never Go Back!
I will start this out with 2 things... 1, I've always been a note fan for the large screen, 2, I have not had experience with the s pen pro yet; it's back ordered. That being said, I will never go back to a note device.. this foldable screen is just impeccable! The crease that everyone has an issue with is invisible in every situation thus far! The under the screen camera...only included to appease certain ppl IMO.. if you stare directly at it, it is noticeable.. when not looking directly at it, you won't ever know it's there! Just makes you're screen so much more immersive! Such amazing things being done here. Have you ever wished your tablet was a phone? Have you ever wished that you could fold up your tablet and put it into your pocket? Well, wish no more! This is the phone for you! Just do yourself a favor and treat yourself!

Versatile
Being able to start folded as a "normal" phone and unfold into tablet while keeping the same app going is great. In unfolded mode, multitasking is fantastic and the size is great for gaming. With the s-pen it becomes a great drawing or note taking pad. I wish the next version can have the pen integrated like the note series did.

Amazing phone
This is my first time owning a Samsung phone, and a fold at that. Let me tell you, I was blown away right away. While I wont bore with the technical details, I will say that the inside screen way better than my previous phone, and the outside screen, now with 120 hz refresh, is amazingly smooth. With the inside of the screen, I'm able to lounge at home and read very comfortably, and when I'm in a hurry the outside screen does just as well! The only knock I will give it is the battery life...I wish it was a tad longer, but they had to make a compromise somewhere. That being said, the phone performs amazingly, regardless...not enough for me to knock it down a rating. I will definitely be looking at purchasing the next fold once it comes out!

No other phone comes even close to this
This is by a very wide margin the best phone on the market now. The mere fact that you have on the outside a traditional candy bar phone and when you need more space you unfold a small tablet is just quite honestly the best. Everywhere I go someone is just in awe of my phone. I have been a fold convert since the Zfold 2 and will continue to do so in the future. Samsung took a big swing and knocked it out of the park with this device.

I had my new Fold 3 unlocked for a week now and absolutely love it! The unlocked version gives me the call & text on other devices feature that I couldn't use on my older carrier version.

The bigger the better!
I went from a note 10 which I loved to Z fold 3 and I love it. It has its perks and I love working from it. I am always sending emails and doing zoom calls and hate to always have to bust out my Galaxy tablet and borrow Wi-Fi, I can do all of my work from this phone easily. The battery life is okay, I've done all the necessary steps to help prolonged it but still, it's a big phone it uses up a lot of battery when unfolded which I don't use all the time. The camera is okay, if you want better this ain't it it's alot like my Note 10 and am okay with that. This phone is just a lot of fun and I love it when people ask me ooh is that the fold up phone.

This is the foldable to get!
I used to have the 1st and 2nd gen. Z-Flip phone and thought it wasn't bad. However, the small front display always forced me to open the phone, and the Z Fold seemed too expensive. Once I learnt about the 3rd generation of the Z Fold, its added IP rating, and overall durability I went ahead and pre-ordered it.
The phone is absolutely a home run for me as it offers so many productivity features. The front screen is great for quick message checks, and I am actually using it very frequently. Once working with the large screen when unfold there's really no going back to a standard phone anymore. Performance is great and the cameras work well for me. I hope we will get Android 12 soon, but even as it is I can't find a good reason to give up on this phone.

I really enjoy the form factor.
I was sceptical to take the step into the fold line. I have come to like the slimmer form factor of the folded phone. I also enjoy the large screen inside the device. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the folded crease is almost invisible when using the phone. My only complaints are the factory screen protector on the outside has a very noticeable edge when you are trying to open a side bar. The under screen camera while a neat evolution would have been better just left out.

I bought this a few weeks ago looking to upgrade from the first fold as what I had seen on YouTube caught my attention. Once at my doors steps, I immediately proceeded to open it and and had a smooth transition from my other device. But once on the device, I have to admit my expectations were surpassed. But one thing I would love see an improvement would be on battery life; I get about 10 hours of screen on time but I would love to get more.

I do love my Z Fold3!
I must admit that I was unsure if I would like this phone. I have been a Note user for many years and when you are used to something it can be hard to change. After a couple of weeks I have adjusted to using it and I love it. I have an iPad mini that I used to carry around for times when I wanted something a little bigger for reading. This the inside screen on my Z Fold3 this is no longer a necessary device. I was worried that the battery life might be a problem but it has not been an issue. There have been days after heavy use when I have placed it on the charger with only 15% but I have not had a day that I could not get through yet.
The only thing that I am not crazy about is how small the keyboard is on the front screen. I still cannot type accurately on it and it can be frustrating at times. However this does not change my love for the device overall.
So as far as the ratings go, I would say the features and performance rate a 5 for me.
As far as design and value I would drop to 4 just because of the small keyboard on the narrow front screen. Also with value, I think I got a good deal because of the trade ins and discounts that Samsung offered me but at full price it is too expensive for most.

I purchased prior to street date. I chose to limit apps until I got acclimated. The single view is small in my opinion but the open view is great and multiview is even better. Yes, you can see the separation mark between the left and right but I can choose to not concentrate so that it disappears. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.

A worthwhile upgrade
I owned a fold 2 but the durability was my main concern but with the fold 3 water rating and improved glass it was a peace of mind upgrading. The only con was the decrease to battery life but they decreased the weight on the upside.
They also managed to bring down the price and we get an s pen.

Best Phone Ever? Almost
I am loving this Z Fold 3. I was getting tired of the Galaxy S series as I felt it was getting stale and I was very disappointed with the S20 Ultra. Once I received the ZFold 3 my excitement was back for samsung phones. I love using the cover screen and use it more than when I use the inside screen but when I do use the inside screen boy do I use it. I multi task a lot as the screen is big enough to have 2 apps open. I use it to take notes while at church using the s-pen. I started back playing farm heros because of the large screen. I like the cameras but in honesty the phone should have the same camera system as the S21 Ultra but the cameras are good enough. Battery life is the bigger issue but that depending on your usage. For me it's not an endurance phone. In fact I have to charge it after I get off work if I am using the phone during work like now. When in standby the battery is fine. All in all I am very happy with this phone even with its short comings. Best one Samsung has made. I do wish the s-pen worked on the cover displayh

Horrible experience!
Please save yourself the trouble. Thought I was upgrading from the Note 20, huge disappointment.
2.5 months in and flipped open just to see a big black line down the middle where it flips open to the big screen, still shows but right side of screen after the black dead pixels doesn't work when pressing on it. Samsung isn't doing anything about it besides just Repair... 1900 dollar phone and instead of sending new one. You want me to be without a phone for the duration of repair, knowing I traded in my Note 20 and I'm a business owner who relies on a phone. No thanks samsung.
I want my money back.
I think after 12 yrs of owning samsung/ galaxy. I might be making the switch.

Brilliant multi tasking phone
I pre-ordered the phone after the unpacked event.
I'm a physician and a power user of phones.
Until now, Foldable smart phones were not mature enough for main stream. All that changed with the fold 3. The increased durability, water resistance and over all software experience with multi tasking support have made it a complete task oriented machine.

Will never go back to a regular phone
As a heavy Note user I desired but skipped the first two folds since I really use the stylus a lot. The 3th version no longer gave me an excuse so I bought it and it arrived yesterday. I won't bore you with specs and stuff just a few key topics. Ignore the spelling, I'm not a native English speaking person.
Display:
Of course I feared the durability but it really seems solid. After reading and viewing Fold 2 reviews I can confirm the screenprotectore is NOT rubbery. It's almost like typing on glass and fingerprints are not worse then on My note. I agree with most reviewers the front screen is narrow but it's OK. Swipetyping still works without many errors despite my very big hands. I still don't see this device as the ultimate media consumption device because of the black bars the screen is not really bigger then my Note. I did see different behavior between Prime, Netflix and Disney however in size of the video on default view. One of the good things for me.personally is that I can watch YouTube with big enough screen real estate and scroll through the comments meanwhile. I do that a lot and on the note this wasn't pratical. The Crease is what I feared the most and the first 10 min it disturbed me. After that I don't even notice it anymore. So don't worry about it.
Pocket test:
It's a heavy device ofc. I had a firm case on my note and it's still 50gr heavier with my Spigen air case witch is really thin in comparison. I DO feel the difference but it's fits better in my jeans because it's more narrow. It's a bit of a frustration but I can live with it having the advantage on the other side.
Cameras:
I'm one of the few people that cares less about cameras. The pictures are very nice, even in low light but maybe my standards are low. My wife has the S20 and the quality seems on par and even a bit better then my Note 10 plus. The in screen camera where many people are complaining about is ok. I tried it in videocalls in a low light areas and the people confirmed to me the image was excellent. I don't have other use cases where I need more from it so having no hole in my screen is worth it for me.
Battery:
Still testing ofcourse but coming from a EXYNOS Note it's AMAZING. My Note was usually dead with max 5h SOT , I currently have 6h SOT and still 40% left. I watched movies, gamed, downloaded, surfed etc so I tried to stress it. I disabled 5g but everything else is on and I have several mail.programs syncing for work. I also have a bad cell reception at home which is draining our cellphones even on WiFi to keep the connection up. So far I'm happy and whatever my conclusion is after some time I will.never buy an Exynos again!
Side notes; I read complaints about the SD 888 heating up but didn't encounter it, not even during installation. I also tried battery saving mode who sets the CPU at 70% max and I can see no difference in speed with the apps/games I use. The 10% brightness tune down is no issue either because this screen is VERY bright even at low settings.
Audio:
The speakers are really good and as an older person even my note 10 plus was sometimes not loud enough for Team calls. No issue at all with this one lol. I don't really listen music but it's gets very loud without distortion.
S-pen:
Unfortunately I didn't received the s-pen case yet so can't compare but won't hesitate to update once I received it. Against the note it will be a downgrade since it's not in the device anymore. I already know I won't use that horrible flipcase Samsung offered so I hope Spigen will design a case like I have now but with a penholder. I REALLY HOPE Samsung reconsider the design and build it again INSIDE the next fold. For me it's OK since I only use the Spen for work so I can keep it in my bag but still I dislike it.
Conclusion:
I won't go back to a normal phone again, I'm already convinced this is what I want. The only contester for me is the Surface Duo2. I even did put my Tab S7 on sale since I won't use it anymore.

I’m confused
Beautiful, really beautiful but it slid from a height no more than 30cm and its screen went black is a complete disappointment for everything I paid for it, it is new and does not work now. Don't buy it, it's not worth it… I called for the warranty and they tell me that it does not apply, it is the worst purchase until today.

Great for Old Eyes!
Resent purchase thanks to affirm financing. So far I'm very happy with the open or closed use option. My excitement comes when I use my email!! Oh Boy, it's great for these 50 year old eyes. I imagine watching a movie would be fantastic but that's not what I do. Document sharing, spread sheet manipulation and zoom on the move is my wheel house and not having to carry the laptop or the tablet (just in case) IS THE BEST. The only thing I want is a better case. I'd like one that holds the pen and allows me to securely hold my Z without my index finger on the closed screen. I'm sure this case will be available soon.

Love it
I've been a Samsung note fanatic since the note 2 and had every note since then. But this tops it. Having upgrade from the note 20 ultra. It is a new experience having a phone that opens up like a book. A few things do I'm concern about is the swiping across the fold it tends to not do anything when uou swipe a picture. When typing in the front screen the keyboard is a bit tiny but durable. Battery is ok although I find myself using the charger a bit more than I like. But overall it is one of the best phones that any finger could type and browse on. Love the fact that sometimes the app continues when u open the phone . Love the fact I don't need a tablet because I have a phablet

Could be better but I'm glad I went foldable
Going to a foldable might be scary especially if you remember the original Fold debacle with almost every reviewer breaking it by ripping off the screen. This year the price is a little cheaper and if you want to jump into the foldable game you might be better off trying the z Flip3 first because this year it costs just as cheap as other flagship phones. The Fold this year is also slightly cheaper and comes with. S pen support although it doesn't store inside and the case Samsung made is more or less 2-3 Star. The case itself has a terrible flap that doesn't sit close and a samsung rep before I ordered told me there be a magnetic flap which it doesn't. Back to the phone, oh my God. I'm using the phone more than ever these days, movies, youtube videos, reading, just feels so good on a bigger screen. Now many peoples concern is the smaller outer screen and how it might look weird at first . But it is usable and it has to be that size because the phone is thicker than usually when folded so some people might not be able to one hand the phone if it was wider, especially if you have small hands. Now let's talk about the crease, if you use your phone normally you can't see it only people from the side and at angles can see the crease. Yes this is a pricey phone with an OK camera, mild battery life, but if you can make these compromises this is an experience and you can show off to your friends, familyand coworker. Oh yeah there's also an incredible selfie camera and the finger print sensor is on the side on the power button. I'd recommend storing the middle of your finger as well as tips for a more comfortable unlocking experience

Good Note Replacement
I have had the Fold 3 since August 25th and I can say that I really enjoy it. I came from using a Note since the Note 2 many years ago and have had a Note since then and never thought that I would ever change from that phone. I was scared to give up my Note 20 Ultra at first but since the Fold 3 was s-pen compatible I decided to give it a shot and I am very happy that I did. I would have given it 5 stars if the pen was in the phone and Bluetooth but at least there are cases that can hold the pen with the phone. I'm sure the next model will improve on that. I'm sure everyone's problem with the phone is the crease down the middle but I can assure you that it isn't a problem. When using the phone and being directly infront of it you don't really even see it. Think of it like those privacy screens that people use. The screen goes dark from the side but straight on its like there is no screen at all. You can only really see it from the side or a canted view. Personally I don't look at my phone from that angle so it doesn't bother me. All in all I would definitely recommend this phone especially if you just want to experience something different

Best fold yet!
Been wanting to try out a foldable phone since they first teased them years ago, I finally pulled the tripper on the fold3 and couldn't be happier, who doesn't like having a tablet on them at all times, the bigger screen makes multi tasking not only easy but encourages you to more often. They have gotten the design down, it's only going to get better from here. I would say the only thing holding this thing back is the cameras, having owned the galaxy s21 ultra before this phone it was a hard transition to take a step backwards in camera quality. I mean besides having a tablet on you at all times it was incredible to have the cameras for any occasion at your finger tips. I just don't have that same feeling with these cameras. The cameras aren't bad and If you haven't played with the cameras on the s21 ultra you may not even notice. Otherwise a very close 4.9 out of 5 for me.

Unfortunately the things that many won't like is the lack of internal S Pen like the Notes or the average quality cameras unlike the S21 or Note 20 Ultra.

Great phone, just needs a little more juice
Great phone, just wish it had longer battery life. This is especially frustrating as I feel like they could have made the part of the phone in the center near the hinge thicker, and hopefully increase the battery size, as the gap between the screens when folded is just wasted space.

The Most Amazing Phone
I bought this phone when it first came out. I am so pleased with it. It runs so smooth, and I never have any problem with it. The closing sound when the it is folded is so satisfying. It is much easier to put in pocket compared to Note 20 Ultra and iPhone 12 Pro Max that I used to have.
It is a premium product. It feels so good in your hand. The screen is unmatched. I am glad I can use S-Pen on it. I never run out of battery before I go to bed. If someone complains about small battery, I suggest they should reconsider their screen time.
I am glad that the trade in value is very good that I could afford the phone. Plus the $200 credit to purchase other items is a great bonus.

I bought this phone when it first came out. 2 weeks ago it started turning black on the fold inside the phone. Samsung said, its not covered under manufacturer warranty. So they want $549 to fix it. Its not worth the chance, now I have a phone I can't use it, with it being opened.
I wouldn't buy the fold phones. I didn't drop or anything.

This phone is amazing!
In one day of using I was hooked! I have been a habitual Note user for a long time. I was let down by the Note 7, but picked right back with the 10+. This was largely in part to the bigger screen and incredible S Pen. Although the specs on this are a little conservative (who could blame Samsung for taking a mildly cost effective tech approach without a big following), it still packs a punch. So many great features! Just to name a couple.... Love that you can keep the outer screen arrangement different from the inner. Absolutely love the ability to use the outer screen as a selfie view finder!
Only 2 minor setbacks in my opinion... 1 is the bulk. it is like having 2 phones stacked on top of each other, and it is heavy. 2 is that apps need to catch up. Sometimes apps like Instagram and Facebook do not fit the format of the large screen so things get zoomed too much and cutoff.

Game changer
This will be my 10th Samsung phone. Been a Note owner since Note 3 and jumped at the generous upgrade offer for my Note 10+ Ultra. Very reliable. The folded width is great. (I tried the iPhone Max, too wide) GOOD - Very easy to hold. LOVE the fingerprint reader on the side. No more screen readers. Reads 2 fingers from each hand so I can unlock very easily. The large screen is just amazing. Feels like a mini laptop. Interfaces well with Windows even though I am a Mac user. USB C Charging. BAD - miss the pen. I bought the behemoth pen and it works well, but no way to carry practically. Samsung's case with the smaller pen appears unusable from the reviews. Samsung could do so much better. It is really the only fault.

Everything I hoped for
Bought this as a pre-order and since it's arrival I have loved everything about it! The only complaint was the battery life which has since improved dramatically after a software update. Would recommend.

The Future!
As much as I've loved all my Note's, this phone is definitely my favorite ever. Once they added that ip rating this year, that was the last thing I needed to push me over to getting a fold. Literally my only complaint is that I wish the outside display was a bit bigger.

Showoff but painful.
I've had this phone for almost five months now and it's been an up and down ride since then. But like with most other reviews, after the Android 12 update and the subsequent security update mobile data, calls, and texts have been broken on the phone for the T-Mobile network. At the current moment, it is not the phone to get, get something like the S22 Ultra if you want a high-end phone. If it weren't for the data issue, the phone does suffer from having a very lackluster battery life, not great cameras, and displays that honestly did not wow me. I came from a Galaxy Note 9 before this and that phone in terms of display quality knocks the Fold out of the ballpark. If you're a heavy user, the battery will not last you an entire day, but if you have it on battery saver mode(the out of the box one), you'll be able to get through at least most of the day with 5-6 hours of SOT on the best days. The cameras are on par with phones in the midrange A-series or from expensive phones from a few years ago, the only good thing is if you are taking a selfie and using the rear cameras as your selfie camera. Besides needing to baby the phone due to its price, it isn't dust resistant so you really can't use it carefree and the interior display is still fragile and does make a sound sometimes when you fold and unfold the phone. Also, the folding software makes many apps go a little bonkers and if you don't use some of Samsung's apps and phone settings to mitigate it, the phone is just hard to use. On the bright side, the folding mechanism will definitely draw attention to you, because it's just so different from most of the phones on the market today. And it does have its perks like being its own kickstand so you can watch videos or take pictures. If you can get 3:4 content, the interior screen is gorgeous to watch content on. Phone performance is pretty average, sort of what you would expect from an SD 888, but it does stutter a little. I also got the Samsung official case with the Fold edition SPen and it was amazing to use on the large screen, it was like having a tablet, albeit a smaller one. Final verdict: Great phone to have if you have the patience to deal with it. Not for people who don't have a particular interest in smartphones.

Great phone
I bought this phone about a month ago definitely different from all previous phones which was what I thought I wanted but 8 actually don't open to inner larger screen as much as I thought I would. Usually open it up to show off to friends larger screen (as I should) but other than that the smaller screen works and is my main screen so to speak....
The phone it's self works and feels great in hand... I wish samsung would hav put more thought in there case with S pen that I got for pre-order the case sucks... I went out and paid 60 dollars for outter box which was ok but kept sliding off so I went out and bought 80 dollar Spigen case which is great but doesn't hav anywhere for S pen but is 100%better than the other 2 cases. All in all I'm satisfied with my purchase but I may go back to Note Ultra if Samsung makes it again

Live in the Future
Had this phone for over a month now, and I can say that it's definitely worth it for those considering buying the device. The phone's main display, battery, and camera are all close to on par with a normal phone, except now you get the added functionality of the inner display to immerse yourself in content. Durability has not been an issue and the device is built far better than it seems from online reviews.

Best foldable on the market
Between the IP rating, the S Pen (partial) compatibility, and general durability improvements, this is the best GFold yet. My main quibble is there's no place to store an S Pen on the decide itself.

I've been a note loyalist....
I bought this when it first came out and was leary because it didn't have an S pen slot like my Note 20 ultra has, it didn't have any expandable storage and the cameras weren't as good as the note either. But with no new Note coming out I bought this. So far this phone has been great. I've gotten past the small outside screen that you kind of get used to overtime because you fold it open and you have the big screen. I do still find myself using the outside screen still a lot for quick stuff. I love the fingerprint scanner being on the side of the phone instead of under the display because it's a lot more responsive than my note 20 ultra's. I bought a S pen case so I still have that note like feature as well. I'm slowly falling in love with this phone and with a few improvements I would probably get rid of my Note phone and never look back.
A few things I'm hoping the Z fold 4 will improve on our....
Better cameras for a phone this price range it should have the best camreas out. I find myself having my wife use her note 20 ultra camera to take pictures with instead of my phone.
S pen slot so you don't add extra bulk to the case.
Wish the outside screen was bigger.
Wish they made the inside screen bigger as well.
16g or ram instead of the 12g ram it has.
Wish it had expandable storage.
Bigger battery

Fantastic form factor
I previously had a z flip 5g and was excited for the larger screen. It does not disappoint. I havehad no issues and the slight raised area where it folds is not noticeable. I did get the s pen with it but haven't really used it a lot. The phone feels premium and the call quality fantastic. The battery life is not the best but it hasn't run out from my daily usage.

Attention grabber!
I went from Galaxy S, Note, and now Z Fold. I'm a long time Note user and it was hard letting the S Pen go but it was time to try out the future with the Fold3. Overall, 100% satisfied but just two things I did not like were the outdated cameras. Wish they came with Galaxy 21 Ultra cameras and the battery life was underwhelming.

Excellent Phone, Excellent Experiences
Galaxy Z Fold3 5G 512GB (Unlocked)
I bought this phone in December 2021 and all my expectations have been met or exceeded. I spent a long time deciding what my next phone would be, upgrading from a Note 9, and there were lots of cool options available. A folding phone was the obvious choice for me, and the Fold 3 stood out better than the other options available at the time. If you're used to Apple phones, you may get overwhelmed by the available choices and functions, but there are some ways to make this phone more like the Apple OS, if you want.
Devices: Fold 3, Galaxy Buds 2, and the Galaxy Watch.
Battery: With my habits, mine lasts 16H 33M on a full charge. I listen to music/podcasts often and spend a lot of time on social media. I also use the safety feature to cap my battery at 85% and the adaptive battery feature; no complaints with how I use the phone.
Folding/Functions: I haven't had any concerns or issues yet. Sadly, I have dropped it once or twice, but no noticeable scratches or damage.
Camera: Outer camera is noticeably better than inner camera; I like to take lots of photos/videos and the outer camera is great for that, just don't have high expectations for the inner camera.
Issues: Not all apps are compatible with all of the phone's features
Advice: If you're not sure if you would use the S-pen, I would wait a couple months and see how you use this phone. I didn't use the Note pen that often but found that there are moments I really wished I had the Fold-edition pen.
TLDR: If you've done your own research and think this is the phone for you -- it probably is. Premium phone, though you might have to pay premium prices if you can't catch it on a discount.

This a very awesome device. Very good for fun and even better for Business/Work.
This is very good when I want to click pictures of my son when he is doing any activity. It covers all multitasking while I am on call with family. I can write on screen for any notes and share the same with friends.
I am also using the work profile and it helps me to virtually work from anywhere. Work and personal files remain independent. I can virtually connect to VPN and open screen and even code thru remote desktop. I love this device awesome Fun-ness device. Highly recommend it to all.

Finally!
I have been so bored with new phones lately, always incremental updates of the same rectangular piece of glass and aluminum. It hasn't seemed like anything revolutionary has been launched in over a decade. When I saw the first Fold by Samsung I knew they had done it, finally creating something truly new and revolutionary but I wasn't ready to pull the trigger on a foldable phone just yet.
With the Fold 3 I felt it was ready for prime time and I pulled the trigger. Seems like a lot of us did! And boy am I glad I did. Everything about this phone is special. I actually LOVE the outer screen, that's right I said it. The narrow form factor is easy to use one handed and I find myself using it a LOT. Much more than I ever thought I would. I kinda love the retro brick phone thickness too, so much easier for me to hold than the ultra thin phones these days.
But with the Fold 3 you can do something truly spectacular. Open that into a mini-tablet form factor that's easy to hold, beautiful to use and finally something unique and special. I LOVE watching YouTube videos on this thing. You can watch them letterboxed (it is an odd form factor) or crop it to watch full screen. but (pro tip) my favorite way to watch is to rotate the phone 180 degrees and presto you get a perfectly letterboxed yet truly large and beautiful video experience. The S Pen Fold works great! Definitely feels very similar to the Note experience. The only real difference is the crease and though I can feel the crease, it does not hamper the experience at all for me and disappears in day to day use.
Everything about the phone is snappy, no perceived lag at all so far. The software experience has clearly matured and it's the only device I've seen that you can truly multitask on. The phone feels very solid and not fragile at all. About the only thing I'll warn is finding a case you like is probably going to be a daunting task. I've ordered 3 and will be testing them all hoping to find one I love. The first one I ordered isn't really to my liking.
Overall this is a great phone! I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone (and have)!

Revolutionary indeed, unlike a white fruit
The Z Fold3 is truly revolutionary. I didn't think I'd like it as much as I do, since it still has a visible line in the middle of the screen and the in-display camera is very much visible and is only 4MP... But they don't bother me at all! The critiques from the countless YouTube videos I watched before deciding on purchasing this phone were concerning, to say the least, but I took a shot when I learned a simple fingernail would not scratch the inner display. I'm so glad I purchased the phone despite all that, because all the critiques from the videos were so exaggerated that I'm scoffing as I'm writing this, ON my Fold3.
The phone is a bit expensive, but Samsung usually has amazing trade-in deals that I got $800 off and then some, since I pre-ordered it. It's awesome. Do yourself a favor and get it.
I just have 1 complaint, and it's a small one, honestly. The outer display is a bit too narrow, especially for my fat fingers. If you have thinner thumbs maybe they'd be okay, but not for me. I get by it by using the swipe to text feature rather than clicking each letter one-by-one. But in all honesty, I feel like having an outer display is just an addition, like it didn't need it... It was more like a courtesy.
Just do yourself a favor and get it. Especially if you're contemplating on the what-ifs -- no. Get it.

Too much hype for the price.
8 bought this z fold 3 last week. Pros, it is a nice phone, well made and nice features. Cons, way too heavy, and battery life is no good. Started with 120 htz and phone lasted from 6am to 11am regular use, changed it to 60 htz which is supposed to save battery and lasted from 6 am to 4pm regular use. So I was real disappointed in that and that is why I am returning phone.

Have always used the NOTE series and love using the pen function. The new Fold 3 not only has a pen function but when folded open it is like a tablet, vibrant & Crisp colors. Everything is beautifully put together for all day use with great battery life. I am also amazed at how fast the phone can get back to 100% battery life. So far I can't imagine going to anything smaller.

Galaxy Z Fold 3
I've been using this for a week and enjoy the features of the phone especially when using the fold out screen. When the original fold was introduced it was fine but I wanted to see how the were going to build on it. The fold out screen feels solid although I did put a screen protector on it. I did get the case with the pen but I prefer having the screen show versus hidden by the flap. The weight is not that heavy as I had the Note 20 ultra. I do like the compact size when folded as it takes less space. The width/thickness is fine but I had to adjust to that as I like putting my phone in my pocket. All in all I love this phone and glad I made the purchase.

The future is here!
Honestly speaking, I was going to return the Fold3 because I didn't think I could get used to it. Having had the Note20 Ultra, I thought it was the best experience a phone could provide. The Fold3 took me about 3 days to get used to it. Once I figured out how to refine the many options, I am absolutely in love with this phone. Being able to experience Outlook, YouTube and Browsers on the big screen is something that got me hooked. At first it was a bit awkward opening the phone every time but I got used to it. The app transitions from the front screen to the big screen is really slick. Performance is as good or better than my Note20 Ultra. All in all, it has been a super experience using this phone and everything it has to offer.

It feels more compact, less bulky than the fold 2
I just got mine last week and the switch over was quick. App promotions are for new users only.

Will never use a non folding phone!
Once you get used to using a folding phone, you'll have no idea how you lived without it nor will you ever want to go back to a non folding life. Samsung has created an amazing experience that if you give it a chance you'll love. I can't imagine using a phone that doesn't fold now!

Great new phone form factor
Was waiting for Samsung to master their fold phone since Fold 1. This Z fold 3 has whatever is take to be the 1st solid foldable phone with IP rating and 120Hz on both displays and UDC on the main display. Furthermore, Samsung able to reduces the price of the phone make it more affordable for people like me to be able to owned a foldable phone for the 1st time.

I am loving this phone (+)!
I pre-ordered this bad boy with some hesitation. I had heard mixed reviews of folding phones but decided that the price offered for my old Note 20 Ultra 5g at pre-order was too good to pass up. Boy, am I glad I gave this phone a chance! The main screen is AMAZING and not difficult to hold/use in-hand at all. What's more, the outer screen, which is thinner than my Note, is much easier to handle (and I've got pretty big hands). Other than the massive real estate of the main screen (and the fact that it folds, of course), my favorite feature has to be the fingerprint-scanner on the power button. SO flipping convenient! I'm no longer mad at Samsung for retiring the Note line. This thing is fantastic!

Amazing specs
I had my I on z fold since the beginning, until z fold 3, and I finally happy that I got it, 3rd edition has everything I want, it is water resistant, S pen works, and the ram and storage are perfect. Overall I am very happy with all the specs. The only thing that I wish it was better is the camera, it could be stronger, but rather than that, I am very happy with it.

The final form.
I've been a galaxy Note user since the note 2; I initially thought that the Z fold 3 was a gimmick that I would return shortly after receiving it. Since the unboxing, I haven't been able to put this thing down; I'm entirely on board with the fold and I think after a few refinements (better camera, battery life, and internal storage fo Aspen) it will be a worthy successor to the venerable Note series.

I didn't even know I needed this this much
I am amazed at this new device, the Z Fold 3. I am able to do things I wouldn't otherwise contemplate on my phone. Drawing, signing and reviewing documents is so much easier. Multi tasking is great. The front screen has exactly what I need it for - to use for quick reference - calls, messages, calendar, etc. But when I open the screen a whole dimension unlocks. S pen is great response. Only complaint is the better life. Drains very fast.

Love it!!
Who knew how excited I would be when I got this phone! At first, I thought that it might be too heavy. But, when I discovered how seamlessly I was able to adapt, those fears disappeared. Even though you can see the fold at a certain angle, you don't even notice it when you are working or playing on the phone. I have been able to do away with my tablet for reading at night as the Z Fold3 handles my digital books with no problems. And, I like the S Pen for certain apps such S Note. I can't wait to discover all the uses and capabilities. Typing a review or email is easier with the split keyboard.

I will never go back to a regular phone again!
I upgrade my phone yearly and usually go with the Note line but when Samsung announced that there wouldn't be a new Note this year, I decided I would look into the Fold lineup. I am glad I did. What sealed the deal was the increased durability, IPX8 rating, and most of all, S-Pen support! I won't lie, while the software experience is good, many apps are not optimized for folding phones but I think that will be remedied as foldable phones become more mainstream. The front screen is a little more narrow that I would usually like but it's more than made up for by the huge inside screen. It is great for productivity and I love being able to have two apps open side by side and both be still very usable.

Never going back to a non-folding phone
I've have the phone for a week now and the experience has been amazing. The ability to open it up and take notes, view web pages, or share information is second to none. My daughter was watching Netflix on it while we were shopping and my wife couldn't believe how large the screen is to watch videos. She thought it was her Kindle. Only complaint from me is on the battery life which is comparable to my Galaxy S9+. I always carry a power bank and the unit charges pretty quickly. I haven't explored all the new features with this phone but I am loving it so far!

Great! But..
I love the phone. Really I do. Super responsive and beautiful screen. I love how its not glass on the internal screens. I dont feel like im going to crack the screen so easily as i did with the Notes towards the end of me using them.
My only complaint is that, for an unlocked phone they do not allow you to remove uninstall google chrome, or others similar. Why? Its my phone. I dont want it on my phone. So now, even the "unlocked" phones have bloatware. Its downright crazy. This may be my last samsung but its time to step down in technology to step up in privacy. Even SmartThings is becoming unusable because of the trackers and information "required" to allow them to run. Its a shame.

Once you start using a phone that can open up into a tablet sized screen, its hard go back and use a normal phone again. And then with the addition of the s-pen and water resistance, this phone is basically GOAT!

It's narrow..but.
If you have to bump the font size up, then it could get cramped if you tend to use the outside screen... it's narrow! But we all know why we want this phone, phablet mode. No kickstand needed (which gets in the way of wireless charging)! I found the flexibility of Android made the narrow width on the main screen by switching the launcher (see Nova) and using a custom Icon pack. The jury is still out for 5G reception as the towers have to be there in the first place. The indicator shows LTE (rather than calling it 4G) more often then 5G. I'd been watching this phone while my payment plans finally came to a close and Samsung's discounts meant a no brainer with the wireless charger bundle.

One word, AWESOME.
Must have if you want an awesome phone that can morph into a tablet/small laptop when needed. I had the Fold 2 since it came out and have zero complaints. The Fold 3 is more durable and comes with the pen. This is like adding icing to an already awesome cake. You should see people's faces when you unFOLD the phone to take or look at pictures. They can't believe that a phone can do that (fold/unfold). You really have a phone and a small laptop with you everywhere you go. I am very pleased with Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. Thanks Samsung for pushing the envelope.

Not a fan
I was excited about this new model. I was disappointed in person. First thing, the screen is just too large to hold on to comfortably and it's too big to keep as close to your face as you would with a regular phone. When you fold it in half it's far too skinny and typing was nearly impossible on screen especially for a man. Because of the screen being so big and having multiple screens the battery was dying too quickly. I was not impressed with the audio. The screen size ratio seemed very strange when I was online. For example, I would be scrolling through Facebook and most people these days are just posting memes oh, and every one of them was cut off unless I clicked it to open it. Not having room inside of it for the S Pen is stupid. I did get it separately with the separate case, but I use a case with a magnetic back that holds my phone in place in all of my vehicles so that was not the solution long-term. Plus it's not the regular S-Pen because it doesn't have the Bluetooth features. I did notice fingerprints on the glass all the time and I don't notice them on my current s20 Plus. I thought hiding the camera on the inside was a good thing oh, you still see it all the time but it's better than looking at a black hole. It takes a lot more effort to open and close the phone then you think it's going to. I think the price is outlandish. I think no SD card slot is ridiculous. Some of the bells and whistles were definitely cool and impressive but it just felt like things I didn't need. I had a 20 someday trial and I returned it within 24 hours. When it was folded in half it was too narrow and very thick in my pocket and the phone itself is far too heavy. When it's open all the way it's awkward and heavy to hold on to. If you're looking for a small tablet and set up a phone I'm sure it is more than ideal. When it's open to the full screen it uses an on-screen keyboard that is split in half that basically uses both of your thumbs or two fingers and I hated that because I'm used to use anyone with swipe. You can change it but then you're swiping a ridiculous distance from one side of the phone to the other which is also tedious. I think most people will be happier with what they already have. It feels heavy on gimmicks and light on practicality.

Really impressed with the overall package
I upgraded from my S20 Ultra (which I loved) to the newest foldable. I was a little skeptical after only playing with the Fold 2 in stores. The hardware is great, it feels like a flagship phone. While I predominantly use the narrower external screen, it's great just being able to flip it open and essentially have a tablet. I opened it up yesterday for my first Teams video call and it worked great!
I've owned many different tablets in the past, but after the novelty wears off, they've always sat around and collected dust because I would always just end up use my phone for tasks. This has really solved that for me.
I wish the front screen was a tad bit wider, but it's definitely not a deal breaker. After about a week of use, I'm really happy with it and don't really find that I miss the S20 Ultra for the majority of use cases.

I came from a Note 20 Ultra and honestly, I am happy with the screen size of the fold. My only complaint is that the front screen's resolution is a bit shabby. Other than that, I love studying and watching Netflix on the double screens and I get so much interest from other people asking how it is. It's a good party trick.

As a note user I was skeptical, but I love this phone. I like to edit photos for work and for fun so this has improved my game. Some argue that when closed the phone is to narrow. I disagree. It fits in my hand better for called and fits in my pocket better as well. You notice the crease but it doesn't effect the viewing of the screen. Best phone since the note!

Great device, could be better!
I will start that this is a great device and I do not regret my purchase but I am going to spend my time here discussing my issues.
-Battery: Coming from a Note 10+ which I could charge every other day even with heavy video use, I understand this is like 2 mobiles mashed together but still wish I could get at least a whole day of use from a flagship mobile.
-Size: It is nice to have a big screen but I would like it to be bigger.
-Dust: The water abilities are great but the dust warnings have me spooked even though I have Samsung Care+.
-Camera: I get it keeps costs low but I do wish the cameras were nicer. I can notice on the big nice screen that they are not as nice looking as my 2-year-old mobile.

I preordered it and got it on 8/25/2021. I had the Fold 2 and the Fold 3 is worth the upgrade. The phone is snappier, it comes with an SPen and the feel of it is much more solid. The new multi tasking features are amazing. It has run anything that I have thrown at it. The new inner screen protector is so much smoother that the one on the Fold 2. Love the ability to have a tablet. Highly recommend!

Pre ordered the Flip 3 and Fold 3 and I couldn't be happier. The sleek design and how the engineers thought of everything makes it an awesome experience. Looking forward to seeing the improvements on next year's folding line up. Things I'm hoping for are
#1. Better battery.
#2. Bigger front screen for fold 3
#3. Dust resistance.
When it's basically a regular phone that folds, it'll be the best.

Great improvement!
Bought the phone when it was released. I had the original fold and fold 2 previously. There are subtle physical changes on the new fold 3 from the fold 2. The most noticeable for me is the hinge gap. It's less noticeable now when folded. When you open the phone it lays flatter as well. Next would be the camera design which I actually like better than the 2nd fold. Same aspects for the camera but the software upgrades are great and usable. I like that it now has s pen support as well. That really encourages you to use the vast inside screen and makes it a monster for multitasking. I love it and would highly recommend it. Its one of the best devices out there right now.

I love every feature about the Samsung Fold3 5G, except.... There is no 8k recording features. I would also have loved if the phone had an S Pen slot. Instead I had to buy the S Pen separately with a case. The firmware also needs an update where the camera is more customizable.

Awesome phone
I've been using the phone for about a week now as a replacement for my Note 20 Ultra and so far it has been great for what I use it for. I work in the film industry and needed something phone size to take notes on but something bigger than the Note and the Fold works great for the job since it folds in half and uses the S pen. The inner screen does not feel like rubber but more like glass this time around. Battery life could be better but I am a power user taking notes, sending emails, phone calls, etc. I only have to plug in 1 time during a 14-15 hour work day which I had to do with the Note as well.

Best Samsung phone yet!
I have been been a long time Samsung user (mostly Notes) and just traded in my Galaxy Note 10 + for this. I love the S pen capability however I do wish it was able to be stored in the phone. Hopefully the Z Fold4 will have this feature. I also wish it worked on the front screen. I was worried about the crease however I barely notice it when using the phone. I mostly forget it's there unless I am swiping across the screen and then I can definitely feel it but it's not a big deal. The main thing I love is the screens. Both of them. Of course I love the main screen but find myself using the front screen almost as much. I travel weekly for work and can easily use the front screen one handed when walking through the airport. That could be a challenge with my Note. I look forward to what Samsung does with the Z Fold4 next year and think I will be a Z Fold user for life now.

Almost Perfect
I traded in my much loved Fold 2 for the Fnew old 3. Was it worth paying almost another $1000 (plus trade in), absolutely yes. It's nice knowing that if I drop it in the tub it will be fine. Having the S Pen is a nice feature especially with my fat thumbs. Knowing that the inner screen is 80% stronger is a good feeling.
I never used the inner camera and I don't care about the lack of resolution. But really like the hole punch being almost invisible.
There's nothing like showing off my phone when it folds out into a tablet. I am always ask, who makes. it? I tell them it's a Samsung, Apple does not even have one.
It's by far the best phone you can buy. Especially when you get older and you need a large screen.

Excellent progress on foldable tech
I've owned all 3 Fold models and I very happy with the new Z Fold 3. Overall it is solid and feels more durable than past models. I am an early adopter and the Fold series enables business execs to free themselves from carrying a laptop everywhere they go.

Great Features and battery life
I got this very recently and am already impressed with how easy it was to transfer information from my Note 20 to the Z Fold. Love how big the screen gets makes it so much easier to do work while on the road.

Another bummer. No dual sim again in the US versio
After watching the release presentation, i quickly purchased the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G. Not only was i not able to transfer all my apps from my old phone, it does not have an e-Sim. Is this crazy or what at the cost of $1,899? I quickly returned mine .

The phone is EPIC
I bought this as an upgrade for my s20 ultra, the battery was a big concern for me buy fortunately I haven't had a single issue. My biggest complaint is cameras but they are still okay. Under display camera isn't that bad either for zoom calls

Miracle of fold technology!
It combines the best features of a phone and a tablet. The only downside is that its weight makes it somewhat clumsy to hold.

Super! Excellent phone for a Real Estate Professio
Traded in my Note 20 Ultra to Samsung at a fair price. As a real estate professional I find the Fold screen very helpful for showing a client information/photos about a property. My only concern is the width of the phone when folded. Not as wide as the Note 20 , but have placed the LOB applications on the home screen so those applications are readily available - phone, contacts, calender, text messaging, lockbox application etc. Slowly getting used to the smaller screen, but wish it was a bit wider. Otherwise, so far, so good. Time will tell.

Best phone in the world right now
I have been waiting for the day foldable smartphones support s pen and waterproofing. They did it! It is an amazing work of engineering and craftsmanship that went into this phone, I feel privileged to be living in this world. Being a note user previously, having an s pen on this large of a canvas makes more things possible (e.g. opening up calendar and jotting down schedule, opening up Zoom call and jotting down quick notes, having onenote open and YouTube on at the same time for my language learning). Battery life lasts more than a whole day, and charges just as fast as previous generation. Also the 120Hz refresh rate now on the front screen as well, which I would say I use 50% of the time, is cherry on the cake. Now I belive the foldables are ready to be mainstream devices! Well-done Samsung and thank you for continuing to bring innovation after innovation to lead the pack.

Great phone, design could be better
I love this device. It's very innovative and sturdy for a foldable phone. Battery life is pretty decent. It drains a bit quicker even if I'm not using the 120hz inner display. Aspect ratio for both the inner and outer screen not optimal for entertainment but love it for screen split capability for productivity. For some reason, the phone lags in multi app screen mode, coming from a galaxy not 20 ultra.

Sturdy and well made
I had the original fold 1. With two years of development. This phone is sturdy and well featured. I find the software to have been matured.

I will never go back
I bought this on day one. I owned most of the S series phone, but after getting this I will never in my life go back to a non-foldable phone. The Fold 3 does everything right and everyday I find a feature that makes the phone so much better.

Buy this phone! You will love it.
Love it! I'm a note user but the fold caught my eye and I'm hooked. Love the pen, love the larger screen. And my husband even asked for one and he doesn't usually care about tech. You should definitely try it.

This can replace the Note...Great!!!
I was a yearly Note user until receiving and using this. This can definitely replace the Note. Now, just figure how to include a s-pen silo to hold the pen and this would be unbeatable!!!

I got myphonelast week and it is great! Anything you can imagine it can just about do. Wish there was a slot for s pen but the case that hold it helps. Can't go on because it would take too long but it's #1 phone forever!

Extraordinary
Pre-ordered it right after the initial release on 11th August. Received it last week. I must say the most slick phone I ever used. I had the first version of Fold as well which I loved it but this sucker is on different level. I am set for another couple of years I believe.

Incredible Phone
I really enjoyed using this device for the short time that I had it. The weight of the phone was the only draw back for me, l found it too much to lug around on a day to day basis, and neexed something a little more comfortable in the hand. But the Z Fold 3 does it all, l highly recommend it if you have no problem dealing with the weight of it.

Best One Yet
I preordered this phone the minute I could, after seeing the unpacked event I was SOLD! I have been in love with the fold since the original but have held back on getting one until it was perfected and I’ll tell you what, this one is definitely perfect. Compared to the last ones the Z Fold 3 is the perfect balance of rugged while maintaining one step ahead of the limits of technology. Completely satisfied and glad I made the switch from iOS!
