Exceptional Phablet
This phone truly takes over the note series title of being premium phablet. Fold to phone, unfold to tablet. I was skeptical earlier but woth SPen support added in ZFold3, there was no reason for me not to grt this phone.

Great versatile phone
Prior to getting the Z Fold 3 I had the Z Fold 2. Fold 3 has fixed several of the smaller flaws that the Fold 2 had. I am very happy with my Z Fold 3!

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.

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.

I got this phone a while back and it is a versatile device. No matter if you deal with business pdfs, word or excel, or just social media and YouTube videos, this device can not only handle all but be very useful.
I love the split screen since many apps can be used in the same time and the huge screen real-estate available.

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!

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.

Everything on the phone is amazing!
I pre-ordered the fold on the announcement day and received it a few days early than launch day. The Fold 3 is amazing and blew me away. I love its slim capabilities and once you open the fold you are immediately immersed. The display is beautiful and you completely forget there is a crease in the middle. Never loved a phone as much as i am in love with my Galaxy Fold 3.

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.

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.

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..

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Frigging thing won't stay in my hand, it's slippery as all get out. View screen is great though, had a Z 2 for about 6 months no issues, Z 3 lighter but I got to stop cuz I can't keep it in my hand. Guess I got to pay for a case. Durable little sh.ts though.

Had it for 2 weeks and the screen went out
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.

MOST ADVANCED FOLDING PHONE ON THE MARKET
I bought the Z Fold 3 about a month ago and couldn't be any happier. The screen real estate is second to none. Bright and sharp vivid colors. Watching 4k videos is eye candy. The 888 SnapDragon onboard is blazing fast and can handle anything you throw at it.

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.

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

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.

Fold perfected!
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Small front screen
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. The front screen is small so it makes difficult for text/typing. 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

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!

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!

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...

Z fold 3
I bought this a little over a month ago and has enjoyed it from the moment I took it out of the box. The screen is amazing the 120 hertz display will blow you away and whenever you pull this phone out it's a conversation starter.

It looks like a normal phone when you first look at it but once you unfold it it look like a phone out of this world. It's hard to explain, you just have to experience for yourself.

Great form factor
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 .

Foldables are here to stay!
Been daily driving this device for about 2 months now and I have a lot of great things to say about it. First off the fact that I can open my device and have a bigger screen is awesome. Even more amazing is that the device is still holding up nice and strong. This device is sure to wow your friends, family, co-workers, and even your pets!

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 .

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

Excellent screen technology
Switching to ZFold3 straight from SGN20Ultra, foldable design is super cool and provides more productivity. User interface is like a semi tablet mode, apps scale perfectly and split tabs within the app gives a tablet kind of feel, this is really a cool phablet device, great innovation and design mplementation. Only downside is the front screen is bit narrow, expecting a wider screen in upcoming editions.

I traded in my Note 20 Ultra Plus about a month ago but don't regret that decision. Watching sports/streaming movies and TV shows on the Fold 3 & zyou get the ultimate experience on a mobile device. The cameras surprisingly aren't pretty amazing as well beating the iPhone and other phones on recent YouTube reviews. It's a must try and you won't regret it.

Almost a 100% perfect
It has been a looooong time since a new phone has brought me this much excitement for this long. If you're tired of getting new phones and burning out on them after just a couple days, get this phone now. It's absolutely amazing. The giant screen is perfect for scrolling social media, watching/editing videos, and editing photos. I'm almost never not in giant screen mode, unless I'm just returning a text. In that case, the smaller screen up front is perfect for that. If I had to dig deep to find cons for this phone, it's that outside in the sun, the big screen does become a little harder to see. But indoors, it's amazing and the lil crease melts away into the distance. Get it now. Stop being bored by the same phone every year.

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.

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.

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

Most concerns are gone.
I was always sceptical of many conerns people had being gone this generation. And most of them are gone. The only major concerns really is just dust. 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.

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.

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.

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. :(

Innovative, Optimized and Likeablr
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

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.

Thank you samsung for innovation
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.

Love the screen!
Just got the Flip 3 in the mail. I love the size of the screen. It's perfect for watching video and being able to still use the smaller screen when its closed is perfect for texting and answering phones calls. The only thing I am bummed about is the battery does not last very long.

Beyond what I expected and grow on me more
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 .

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.

Amazing Device
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 ;). Can't wait to see what you guys next phenomenal innovation is!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.!

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.

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.

I would recommend this phone to anyone who wants to something more form a smartphone 10/10 would recommend

Great Foldable
The phone overall is great to have if you want the best of both worlds regarding a phone or tablet. Performance is amazing and generous battery offer great play time and work.
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.

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 am loving the fact that I can fit a small tablet in my pocket! I do wish the s pen worked of the front screen when the phone is folded though. Other than that this phone is perfect.

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.

Life changing
I received this on launch and it has been a great experience so far. The phone fits better into my life than my s20 ultra did. It fits better into my pocket folded since. It fits better into my car wireless charger. Unfolded it enhances reading, video watching, and gaming. It is hard to imagine going back to a non-folding phone.

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

I'm upgraded from a Fold 2 to a Fold 3, and I couldn't be happier! The phone is more slim and has water resistance now! It feels even better in my hands and I can't imagine not using as my daily phone anymore with the beautiful screen. I get asked questions about my phone all the time from strangers and they instantly fall in love too.

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.

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.

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

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.

The phone syncs very well with my Galaxy 4 watch, buds pro and buds live ear buds.

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.

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.

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.

New era is here.
I was very upset when they were not able to deliver my verizon order and was highly considered going to an iPhone after having Samsung phones for 11 years, I'm glad I cooled off and ended up paying cash for an unlocked Z fold 3 500gb version.
I mainly use it for watching videos/ movies and browsing the web, if those are your primary needs this is an amazing phone with its huge screen.
The camera is really good but I would have preferred to have a camera as good as the galaxy 21+ or even better since this thing cost me a few dollars shy of $2,0000.
Also the silicone case from Samsung is pretty good and slim since there are many options out there but some of them are pretty ugly or bulky.
I'd recommend it if you are able to invest into what I consider an expensive device/cellphone

Durable productive Phone
I bought the Z Fold 3 in October of 2021. So it has been about 8 months, going on 9 months. I DON'T treat my phone with kid gloves. I use it as a my regular everyday phone. I have a 512GB Verizon version purchased from Samsung. My phone has always worked. The screen protector on the inner screen is in place; it has never bubbled or cracked. I open and close my phone many times throughout the day. I also have an aluminum 3rd party case on my phone and because I live in a big city, it does not hamper reception. Now my only gripe is that yes, the battery could be better, but it has never failed me. Multi-tasking is great on this even though I wish there were a more convenient way to do it. Overall, I love my Z Fold 3 and i do want to see how the 4 will pan out.

A multipurpose mobile which dreams are made of and a productivity boost of amazing ease! Solid and resilient phone with the heart of a tablet and laptop in one! The Galaxy fold 3 is a multitaskers dream come true with the processing power, connectivity and ram to make certain all you need to do can be done! I love my Galaxy fold 3 but the added resilience, strength, processing power and water resistance gives both added confidence and peace of mind without a competitor in sight to match the power, performance, reliability and strength built into the Galaxy Fold 3!

I have been a Samsung user for years. This is the first time I regretted that decision. It's a very nice concept only! I have lines going across the screen it looks like scratches but they aren't, they are tiny cracks. Samsung has no plans on making good on this mess. Yet it was almost 2 grand of disappointment. What a big let down. Time to move on to another brand sadly. Lost respect...& trust in they're products.

Z Fold 3 is almost the perfect device..
After having every note known to man this was the next logical step. I should just work for Samsung at this point. I promote your products way too much for a non employee. Takes time to get used to the feel of it. Only pain has been typing on the main screen. The fold is sorry more noticeable during the day. Watching shows has been great but it's not like I watch them on the middle of the day while walking down the street.

I came from the S20 to the zfold3 and lets just say I don't think I can ever go back. Just being able to have a tablet sized display in my pocket for me to read or play games on is just life changing. I would highly recommend it to anyone willing to take a chance on these new types of phones I would cause I have zero regrets about getting the zfold3.

Bulky, easily falls
Looks nice, works well, I miss the 100 mega pixels from my note s20 ultra. It's a heavy phone, thought by #3 they make it lighter for a $1900 phone. It frequently falls, unbalanced, front screen easily scratches, same unfolded.
Waiting on S22 Note ultra's to release to replace this phone.

Phone is great.Battery life could have been better
I am loving owning this phone which was an upgrade from Samsung S9+. The screen is a plus while watching YouTube & Netflix. Battery life is compromised because of large screen and hence phone battery doesn't last one full day with moderate use of the phone.
Wish battery life was better to score a perfect 5.

US version with a cheap plastic antenna cover
If you buy this phone you must aware this one has a plastic antenna cover on the top right that held in place by adhesive and it come off easily. Mine fell off just 5 days used and I turned in to replace, they charged me 519$, told they they find scratched, but I use it with care and never place on the table directly without a piece of cloth.

I was excited when I received the device. I put on the S pen case. I found the phone difficult to unfold with the case on it was not possible to take a photo unless I scrunched the case edge a lot. I found the screen much too narrow with the phone closed. The device is also quite heavy. I read that the camera quality was not as good as the latest Samsung phones. I would be willing to try a future fold model that is much thinner and has a wider display when closed.

A phone and tablet in one conveniently small and customizable package! I love the versatility of using just the front screen or being able to open up the phone to the large interior screen.

I've had the Z Fold 3 for a couple months now, I pre-ordered right after it was announced. I've absolutely loved this phone like no other and I definitely hope the Fold 4 is even better. I've got my fingers crossed they somehow get dust resistance and I hope they just fully remove the selfie camera from the inside screen, but that being said I barely notice the UDC on the inside screen

I love this phone a lot it's dies everything I want it to do from multitasking to watching my favorite movies or shows the only thing I wish was the battery was as strong as the other competitors like the note 20 ultra or the s21 ultra but I know everything has its pros and cons.i know next fold that comes will be even better than the three and I will definitely be getting it when it come out.

Samsung is winning the foldable game!
I upgraded from the Z Fold 2 and I immediately felt the improvements taking the 3 out of the box. It's thinner, and the main inner screen feels more like glass, very smooth. The brightness is also a noticeable upgrade. And of course enjoying the new s pen. I'm not a huge gamer other than pokemon go and occasional emulator usage but it handles both perfectly. I mostly enjoy multitasking and creating app pairs, and the large screen makes this the best portable entertainment device around.

This is not what I expected, the fold 3 is a great device and after 2 months I love it even more. Vibrant screen, fast and snappy, and overall great experience. Can't wait for the next one, as a devoted note customer I was sceptical on the z fold 3 but constantly not regretting it at all.

Greatness in your pocket!
I bought this when it became available to pre order, I am glad I did. It's basically a computer in your pocket. The 120hrtz screen and resolution are what makes this phone awesome. Then you have the multi screen function which works flawlessly in the unfolded screen. The only neutral thing I have say is that the pen only works with the unfolded part of the phone, and that it's not housed in the chassis of the phone. Another neutral aspect of the phone is that the cameras could of been better something like the s21 or my favorite the note 20 ultra which I also have. In conclusion after having this phone for a few month is a must have if you are into technology. Great over all.

The future is here...almost
I pre-ordered a phone for the first time in my life. I waited for foldable tech to get to the place where I felt comfortable investing in it. Finally water resistance and durability and refresh rate persuaded me. Everything about this phone is incredible from dual app split screen to having web pages display in desktop mode. One thing holds this phone back and its battery life. I can get through a whole day. But only just. If I am gaming or am using my phone outside my normal use case I have to throw it on the charger. Maybe the z fold 4 will correct that issue but otherwise it's the best phone I've ever owned.

Awesome Phone
I usually always get the Note series but since it wasn't coming out this year I wanted to switch it up a bit and I'm glad I did. This phone is amazing I was worried closed it would be to small but I love how much easier one hand use is with it over the Note. The only thing I miss is I wish it still had expandable memory and a spot for the S Pen. Other then that I strongly suggest Note user take it for a spin you won't regret it.

I should have waited
I bought the Galaxy Z Fold 3 as soon as it came out. The smaller outer screen already has two cracks. I didn't drop it or abuse it. That's just from normal use. I tried to go to an authorized Samsung repair place. They said Samsung only allows them to repair the inner screen. I have the service plan with the phone, but it will cost over $200 just to send it in. Not cool Samsung.

Good phone but lacks exclusively
I recently bought the fold and I will say it's a great phone, especially for watching things like Netflix or YouTube. But I am disappointed with how the phone isn't treated like it is a fold 3, instead samsung decided to make its OS more like a tablet when using the phone. For example when using apps like Instagram you are put into a tablet version where you can't use the side areas. Or if you play games some of them will zoom or cut off certain areas and make them unreachable. So I wish samsung worked with companies to make apps better for the phone and make it feel like you are using a Fold not just using a phone or a tablet because the Fold is its own device entirely and I wish it was treated that way

Note lovers have nothing to fear
I was a diehard Note fan and was concerned about getting a Fold instead this year. But I shouldn't have worried. That inner screen is addicting. Now that I've used it, I'm not sure I could easily use something smaller. Yes I miss the stylus but my next phone will be another Fold #convert

Cutting edge technology in a foldable design
I was initially reluctant in purchase of the Zfold 3 because, I was already an owner of the Note 20 Ultra. After, looking at the previous Z fold 2 model, I started to become interested in this new model. I wanted to experience a foldable device. I must say, that I have been amazed at the display quality and additional features that make the device unique in its class. After using the device I am sold. The only thing that I would say being a devoted note user, is that I miss having the S pen inside of the device. But I give the Zfold 3, 5 stars.

Love the usages, so much for to work with when the screen is bigger. Front screen is getting to a point of almost everything useage. I think the front could be a bit wider to be better. The inside screen could be more less plastic feel would be amazing. Overall the 3rd time is the charm.
It's a powerful phone but coming from an s21 ultra, it's a bit slower.

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.

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.

The luster dies just as fast as the battery
I pre-ordered the Z Fold 3. While it feels like a premium phone, it feels like a cheap tablet. With each passing week I just miss my old S20+. The gimmicks are wearing thin, and true lack of support for popular apps are obvious. The crease never goes away, and the forward facing camera is not good. Great idea, poor execution. Can we be honest that there isn't even a good case on the market for this phone. Might trade it in for a Pixel 6 Pro.

Amazing phone! With a couple caveats.
I love it! No question.
This phone has been amazing coming from the Note line for the past 7-8 years. The inclusion of the S-Pen has made me want this phone even more. I loved that the Fold3 was even more durable than before which was my only fear. Consuming media has been a blessing and I don't even realize the camera is hidden! It's like it's not there at all! Multitasking is super simple, and takes full advantage of Samsung's software and screen real-estate. The only issues I've had were mostly software based: apps will randomly glitch in and out, and presses may not register all the time but the issues a super rare for me. The inner camera quality is not ideal and it should be better as the open larger screen is what we use most of the time. Thr outer screen is a bit on the small size but not unusable. Over all I'd give it 4.5 stars out of 5.

Poor design & Dismiss common sense
If Samsung is going to charge a high price, they need to do a better job on testing the product before they put out. Battery and Camera should be a huge factors (they disregard simple fact that most of their customers use the phone daily for work and other. I'm disappointed on the design---no Pen's pocket on the phone (again disregard a common sense), I bought this phone because of--- the pen ( I can see me lost that pen all the time). The design team or manager over look this phone needs to be demoted for putting out so poor design on the product ( I would rather take a 1oz heavier than looking for/loss the pen). My friends told me DON'T buy Samsung (she know someone works there--- poor product quality, this is turn out to be truth). Common on folks, if the phone cost over $1800, Samsung should and can afford to include the charger and the pen or ready to use when open the box( I have to go out buy the charger!). A little Penny saving or picking is sad ( I don't care someone else is doing it--they're not charge over $1800). This might be my last Samsung phone...

surprisingly happy
I didn't expect to actually like these, but I do. The sound is nice, the fit is comfortable. and the price was right and it came quickly once it was available. It has nice features that are accessible easily and I didn't have to spend hours on youtube to figure out how.

Love the Phone Hate the Phone
Purchased my Zfold 3 in August as a pre-order. I have loved the phone for the first 3 months. But going into my 4th month I am noticing a tear in the screen where it folds. I tried to get warranty information but that is a story in itself. was transferred 5 times before being told on top of the estimated 250 dollars I paid for a warranty I will need to pay another 250 to have it replaced. On top of that I was told I should just not open up the phone so often and if I decide to get a repair or replacement I will need to go with no phone for a couple of days. What a disappointment 4 months into a 24 month free financed deal and my phone is awful. Side not I am relatively an older person 50 plus years old I do not use my phone half as much as my kids do. Great phone for the first 3 months as a novelty but do not purchase thinking this phone will last longer than 6 months.

Great for media consumption and reading!
The Fold3 is a phenomenal phone - as long as you're using it. For movies, TV shows, even YouTube and Kindle/ebooks, this phone shines for anything you could possibly use the large screen for.
The new water resistance is a huge plus and takes this phone even higher!
However - the phone is bulky when closed and huge when open. Two months in, there is still not a huge aftermarket for screen protector or cases, especially cases that can hold the S Pen.
Additionally, the camera system is not great compared to rivals, or even Samsungs other offerings like the S21 Ultra, and while the under-screen camera is a good step, it's still pretty obvious to the eye. The battery life also feels subpar, and under long term game loads, the phone gets warm to the touch.
And people still love to ask about it in public!

Great upgrade lacking some a specific necessity.
I needed an upgrade from my previous note 9 and as soon as I found abiut this model knew this was it. I work in a tech related field and having this phone helps a lot with keeping track of diagrams and manuals especially when in tablet mode. I utilize this phone for studying as well during my long commute to work. My only concern is that along with a large percentage of customers who own this phone and utilize it for our daily do's and needs we don't have the benefit of a dual sim or esim that we were lead to believe. I understand that it was in the finest print that U.S. versions of this model will not have a dual sim capabilities. I found this out after I purchased the unlocked version. I believe and I know a good portion of owners, especially ones who travel frequently on a business or service members who move to other countries also believe it is a necessity for this model to have that capabilities, if not at launch then it should be soon.

Expandable screen
I bought this two months ago and I have been super impressed so far. I enjoy watching movies and reading articles on my phone. The Z Fold 3 has combined an ipad and a phone to give me the features I need. I still have concerns about some apps or images unable to adjust and fit to screen when watching on the small screen. The images tend to be bigger than the screen and I hope someone can help me understand how to fix that. Otherwise, the phone is amazing

Amazing new features and fixes!
Coming from the Z Fold 2 the new 120 Hz front display is amazing! The hidden camera in the foldable display is not the best, but I'm so much happier not having a hole the camera. The screen protector is a lot tougher and doesn't scratch as easily. The screen protector also doesn't lift at the base and the top of the fold like the Fold 2 did.

The galaxy fold3 is way ahead of the curve when it comes to innovation. Samsung has crafted a masterpiece and it will only get better with time. I'm loving the fold! I have always been an avid note user over the years but made the switch to the fold since it comes with the s-pen which I have come to find indispensable in my everyday use of the device. Keep up the good work Samsung!

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.

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.

Absolutely amazing (unless it is in my pocket)
To start with, let me just say that it's incredible that in 2021 you can now walk around with a high-end tablet in your pocket, pull it out in the rain to reply to a message, set it down on a desk and write on it, and all the while not worry about breaking it. This device does just about anything and everything you could ask of a tablet or phone; I won't bother going into specs or performance further because there isn't another mobile Android device out there more powerful or versatile than this one. The only thing worth pointing out to potential buyers here is the one thing this device cannot do for me: sit as comfortably in my pocket or in one hand for extended periods of time as my old S20 did. If you're accustomed to "standard size" flagships like me, the weight and thickness of the folded mode will take some adjustment and compromise. However, if you're a fan of Ultra/Max sized phones and their weight and dimensions don't bother you, the Fold3 will be a dream come true for you and is a must-buy. It's not much heavier than those (an ounce or two), and you get not only a larger screen when unfolded but also a screen that is actually usable with one hand when folded.

Not worth buying right now.
Unfortunately, in less than a year with the phone I have had to have both internal screen and the external screen replaced. The inner screen (the folding one) started to split from the frame of the phone and the outer screen shortly after suffered from a large dead zone for touch control. To Samsung's credit, both issues were fixed free of charge.... but I really worry about how long the phone will last... I have been using Samsung phones since the Omnia and this is the first one that I have ever had issues with.

Game changing phone if you can afford it
The Z Fold 3 with it's huge foldable screen changes the paradigm of how to use a smartphone. Multitasking is now much easier and consuming content so much more enjoyable.
The only drawback is the old camera system, small battery size, and high price. If you can afford this phone and don't mind the cameras being outdated compared to the competition jump in.

Everything you need from a phone.
Honestly you would think that the screen might break but it is absolutely resilient and durable. Have dropped it once while folded out into a tablet and no damage from like 3 feet off the ground. So many possibilities of how you can interact with the phone so it's fun to play with the settings.

I bought it when it first came out, and I'm so happy that I did, It was my first foldable phone so I was having second thoughts since I was moving from the Note 20 Ultra 5G another great phone by the way, but I was totally amazed at the features and things you can do with this foldable phone, it's like having a phone and a tablet at the same time!! I fell in love right when I open the box and saw it for the first time!! I've been with samsung since the galaxy s6 edge and every year I keep upgrading to the latest phone, because Samsung never disappoints!! Now I just need the Galaxy watch 4, I'm sure it would look really nice paired with this amazing phone!!

Premium Build and Executive Feel
I bought this phone brand new through a company pre-order at my Job and this is my first time owning a foldable device. Coming from a LONG lineage of Galaxy Note phones, and being a happy owner of the S21 Ultra prior to this, I can without a shadow of a doubt say that the Fold 3's potential definitely can become a successor to the Note lineup. A few gripes being the under display camera under the screen, although cool and new, usability and honestly feasibly isn't worth keeping in the phone in my opinion. 4MP is pretty outdated, and would at least loved to have seen higher resolution, or removed entirely at that point. Other things, which would come with time and further app development support is the aspect ratios when viewing some apps. Things begin to scrunch, cut off, or re-wrap awkwardly. Lastly a gripe for me is no official Dust rating, but given the past 2 gens didn't even have water resistance, I have to keep in mind even water resistance on a folding form factor is ground breaking. Dust resistance will only come with time also. All in all, I love this phone and have no intentions of trading or selling it until another fold, maybe fold 4 or 5, bests this ones capabilities. I have been recommending both the fold and flip 3 phones to my Tmobile customers, and after holding mine, there's usually very little push from both Apple and galaxy users alike. No doubt, this phone will make history

Great Phone/Tablet
Overall useful phone since I'm able to write more comfortably compared to a smaller phone, dual screen is useful, bigger screen for reading/viewing. I wish the price point was a bit lower as the phone feels less sturdy compared to the S21+ Ultra, battery life could be longer, and doesn't come with S Pen. Biometric is on the power button instead of being on the screen, and wish the front screen was wider like S21 Ultra.

I'm in love
I've been a part of the Apple eco system since the iPhone 6, never thought I would see the day where I would be switching back to Samsung, but I did with the Z fold 3 and im absolutely in love! The fact that i have a tablet in the palm of my hand all the time is incredible. It has upped my work productivity significantly and for those late night couch Netflix sessions it's incredible. I thought the crease was going to bother me, but it absolutely vanishes when looking at it head on. Very pleased with my transition from Apple products to Samsung and don't see myself moving back any time soon!

Fantastic improvement over the Fold2
I had a fold 2 prior to this, and was overall satisfied with the phone besides only having 256gb of storage. The fold 3 addresses this and more - the IPX8 rating makes me more comfortable using my phone in the rain, the 512gb of storage more than adequately meets my needs, and it even feels better in my hand!

I bought this phone when it first came out. I love this phone but after some time the screen starts to separate in the fold area. I had a feeling it was to good to be true. This phone has no longevity. I'm not the type to buy a new phone every time it came out. But this screen separation is forcing me to move on. This will be the last time I get the fold edition. I had the first and second gen. This phone cost to much to have no longevity.

My z Fold upgrade
I have been a Note fan and user ever since they came out. My last one was a Note 10 + 5G. I loved it's size, screen quality, speed and the S pen. I looked at the fold when I got my Note 10 but didn't think they were ready yet so got the Note instead. The Fold 3 changed my mind about the folds. This thing is great! I absolutely love it. It is faster, has an even better screen than the Note and has a pen. I like the larger pen. The Fold 3 is so good that I seldom use my laptop. Viewing streaming content is beautiful. I used the multi-app feature all the time on the Note. It is now on steroids on the Fold 3 and I use it even more than before which is saying a lot. I speed read an reading from the front screen is fantastic and even faster than on the Note. Don't need the full tablet mode, just use the front screen. Very happy with my purchase.

AMAZING... but...
This is absolutely a great phone. I dont think it is for everyone one, but an amazing phone none the less. However, being an unlocked user of the phone, it sucks to see how many features you lose. Read reciepts, video call, and other basic functions taken for granted. That being said, that does go into the downsides of the phone. Cameras are old and you can tell. It sucks to pay so high a price and then for cheaper, on the s21ultra, you get such amazing cameras. Also, no headphone jack. Cmon, you have twice the Real estate now, add a headphone jack for Professional users. We need audio jacks for professional audio/video work. But that being said, the phone is insanely Fast. Beautiful displays. Hopefully the next one can be a bit wider, so we get a more normal outside display. Overall, love the phone though. Take this from a samsung user since before the creation of the first Galaxy S (S1)

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.

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.

amazing features for both gradstudents and gamers
I bought this after my old phone (Galaxy S7) died and it is a huge upgrade. I'm able 5o do multiple things at once which is super helpful to a grad student like me. When I'm done, it's easy to switch over to gaming for some relaxation.

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 !!!

Extremely satisfied with my fold purchase tho my only main issue is battery life with a average of 10 hours of usages and that is by using the front screen if i unfold battery goings down even more.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

It's tough and it works great, there is so much versatility and utility to this phone it has a bunch of great features only real downside I seen as of now is that not all apps are optimized for the fold series so you can't take full advantage of it large screen

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.

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.

Love the Phone
Was hesitant to buy this phone at first as this was going to be my first foldable. I was able to hold it in a store and though why not I should buy it. The deal that samsung gave me on their website for a trade in was great. For anyone debating whether to buy this phone I would say go for it you won't regret it.

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!

Overall Great Phone
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.

The Future
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 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!

Honestly, it's a great phone overall.
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.

Fantastic
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! 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great phone!
I just received my new z Fold3 and I love it. I'm still getting used to it, but I love the bigger screen. The only negative so far is texting on the front can sometimes be confusing as the keyboard blocks the text i'm writing. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a bigger screen.

Awsome Phone
Coming from a note 20 this phone is a show stopper. Everytime I pull it out I get asked what is that. So far I'm very satisfied. The screens are awsome and the phone it self is powerful. Good job samsung....

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.

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.

I purchased this phone after owning a Note 10+. Both great phones, however, the expansive display and extra specs make this the best upgrade I've ever made. This is not my first phone that only lasted 24 hours before needing charged. I will recommend to everyone!

Loving my Galaxy Z Fold3
I traded in my Galaxy Z Fold2 for the Fold 3 and it is a good upgrade. The fingerprint button works flawlessly. The inner screen protector gets less visual fingerprints and feels smoother than the Fold2.
The Fold2 battery noticeably lasts longer.

Best phone/tablet I have ever used!
I switched from the Note 20 Ultra 5g and couldn't be happier. The Note was too big to operate as an everyday cellphone, yet too small to really get work done on. The Z Fold 3 has solved those issues for me. I have already done things on my Z Fold that I wouldn't never imagined getting done on my Note. I wish there was better Spen integration, but I would gladly keep a bigger battery or any other feature that might otherwise suffer for the real estate needed to accommodate the on board pen. Overall, I am extremely satisfied and will continue to use the Fold series going forward.

From the moment I got this phone I have loved it. I was a bit shocked by the front phone because it was more narrow than I was used to, but the inside double screen more than makes up for it. I dont care for the flip case that I got with it as it only protects half of the phone, but I've ordered a new one on Amazon.

Great screens. Horrible keyboard. So so battery
Very cool concept for the phone/tablet. Always looking for a bigger beter display and this is it. Coming from a note 10 plus I find the single front screen feels tiny but with some icon and keyboard adjustments it will work for basic uses. Open up the big screen and it really shines for me. Again the keyboard layout didn't work for me, I guess it's meant to allow you to type with both thumbs but feels awkward for my hunt and peck. Once I got a better layout it was good. The phone is heavy and slippery. The case I got with the s pen in it is bulky and the cover does not stay over the front screen when closed, unless you are using an s pen all the time I would get a different one. The phone is quite smooth and slippery with the weight so a good case is a must. Camera looks OK but I have not had a chance to use it too much. Overall happy with the phone so far

I received this phone today and already fell in love. Big enough but still can hold with one hand. I still have my Samsung tablet but will be use much less going forward. Got unlocked option so worried a bit on issues I may run into when I connect to my Verizon service but was very easy and all my files and settings were transferred with ease. So glad I ordered this phone. I've also ordered Watch4 and can't wait to get it. First time on smart watch so very excited. Samsung also gave me highest trade in value, military discount, and free cover and buds 2. Wow. I'm very happy customer.

Beautiful Screen. Small battery. Average camera
The phone needs a slightly bigger battery. Id say a 5000mah is perfect for it. The camera should be top of the line for the price and should be better than my note 20 ultra. Extremely nice screen some shows and movies looked amazing. More color variety would be awesome. Overall good phone just my note is better in almost every way. Just upgrade a few things here and there and you have a winner. Also dustproof please. Durability is a must for a 2000$ device

Mixed feelings
I got this phone to replace my note 10. So far I have mixed feelings about the z fold. The lack of a micro SD slot was disheartening and to get the 512 gig of memory was only possible by ordering directly from Samsung. If Samsung was still making the note that would have been my first choice, this phone felt like the next best choice. Time will tell if the fold can last with constant use. I'm sure with more time I will find more things I will like about this.

I really didnt expect the Galaxy Z3 fold to appeal to me the way it has, after all I owned a Note 20 Ultra 5G...but it has. I enjoy the slim phone when closed and the phablet when open. I especially like that I can keep my apps open when I close the phone. The s-pen support only makes this the only choice for me with Samsung going forward. I only wish there was MicroSD support. Otherwise a great phone!

I preordered this phone and do not regret it. Coming from a note 8 i was a bit worried this phone would be too bulky in my pants pocket, but to my surprise i thinks it's actually less bulky feeling in my pocket since its not as wide. I do wish this phone came with the s pen in the phone like notes do, but am happy with what i got. Texting on the front cover can be a bit hard if you have fat fingers. Those two things I mentioned are whats keeping me from give this phone a 5 stars review. Over all i do recommend this phone, the big screen is amazing samsung.

This is an awesome device. Upgrading from the z fold2, I must say that the z fold3 is definitely lighter. I was also able to use my z fold2 clear case on it as well until I get a clear 1 for the 3. I also have the Samsung case with s pen but I don't like it. I kept the pen though. As for the UDC, it's not as bad as people say it is. Overall, the phone is awesome.. I opted for the galaxy watch 4 classic as well. Keep up the good work Samsung but next time bring us some high grade cameras..

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!

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.

The future is here!
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!

So far, so good! Loving the switch
Traded in my Samsung S20 Note Ultra for the fold. I have no complaints. The screen displays all of my content beautifully. I have streamed several shows on my phone and haven't had any issues with battery life. I never used my s-pen so I don't miss the feature. Pictures are as good as I had them set on my note.

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

Overall the best foldable
If you'd like you will find few cons to this phone, but you will definitely forget about them if you try to use it for a few days. It will bring to you a lot of new experience you even didn't expect before.

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.

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.

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

Quality feel, great screen size
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.

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.

Awesome phone!
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

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!!

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!

Very satisfied with purchase
I pre-ordered this phone, and I'm happy that I did. This is the first Z fold I own, and I really enjoy it! The big screen and all the functions enhance user experience a lot. I love that it is S Pen compatible. Coming from a Note user, I can't imaging using a phone without S Pen. It increases productivities a lot.

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)

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.

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!

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.

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.

This is my first Fold phone coming from a note 20 and this phone is great ! I love how small the front is. I'm able to quick look at things and reach every corner in the front screen. Then, if I want to watch my favorite apps I just opened the screen and is beautiful ! everything is so smooth and comparing to others phones out there (iphones) is really not that heavy or bulky. Great job Samsung ! definitely you guys listen to the feedback for the fold 1 and 2.

The real perfect Samsung !!!
Back in highschool when the first Galaxy note was announced, I wanted one. Couldnt afford it, but when the note 2 came out, I pulled the trigger. Every one made that phone sound bad, ex its a tv, who wants to carry that in their pocket. But the more you used that phone the more you loved it. My fold 3 is similar story. The reviews online make it sound like you will break it in matter of mins, but using this device is different story. Everyone is making huge deal about the crease when unfolded, you dont even notice it while using the phone. Yes you see it when looking for it, but when you are getting work done it does not get in the way. I normally always carry my surface 7 with me to work, i havent even turned it on in a few days now thanks to the fold. 2 of my friends ordered this phone after playing with mine for a little while.

Best Phone I've Ever Had
Love this phone. I had the Z Fold 2 before this, but the 3 improves on the 2 in so many meaningful ways. Water resistance, s-pen support, more storage, frosted back, stronger screen protector, 120hz on the cover display, updated internals, and brighter screens. What's not to love? It's a phone that turns into a tablet and multi-tasks like a boss. Watching people turn their heads and ask questions about your phone really makes it feel like we're back in 2008. Samsung made phones fun again.

Perfect Niche
I purchased my Z Fold 3 for release day and have played with it about 1 weeks. The open screen is amazing for gaming while the outer screen is excellent for other typical activities such as texting and talk. Will most likely continue to own a Fold for the unforseen future due to the dual purpose opportunities provided with this premium phone.
The only downside so far is that the phone is always hot on the backside, but that should be more tolerable once a case is put on.

Solid Phone, but....
I've owned every Galaxy Note since the Note 3 and I've always been a power user. Last year, I jumped ship and got the Galaxy Z Fold 2 which is an awesome phone in its own right, but I missed my S Pen. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 brought use of the S Pen and I love it.
The phone keeps many great qualities of the Z Galaxy Fold 2, makes a few upgrades and additions (new snapdragon processor, s pen support, etc), while missing the mark on things I expect from a flag ship device (exact same mediocre cameras from the Z Fold 2, lack of microsd card slot, S Pen can't be used on the front screen, etc).
Previously, I carried both my Note and Z Fold 2 with me and used both simultaneously. While I like how I get both with the Z Fold 3, it doesn't feel like a good replacement for the Note and the specs aren't enough to justify the upgrade from the Z Fold 2.
It's definitely a Solid Phone, but coming from the Note and Z Fold 2, it's not worth the upgrade. I'd recommend this to anyone who has a little money to splurge, will use the S Pen, and has an older device (maybe the Note 10 or S20).

Takes getting used to
So I'll mention I've never owned a foldable phone before or even played with one at a cell phone store before. However I too the plunge and pre-ordered the Fold 3. I've had it since launch and so far I'm loving it. The convience of a half size tablet and a slightly less wide cell phone is very handy. I've had tonuse the "Labs" feature in the "Advanced Features" of the settings to get some games and apps to look right on the inside screen. However since the inside screen is more square than rectangular it's kind of expected.
The battery life is also nice. I take it off the charger and unless I spend more than an hour or two on a game or "resource hog" app I don't have to charge it again until that night (and it's still usually at around 30%). My Note 9 was barely able to keep the same charge before I switched.
I think one think that this phone could use though is some more support on app sizes, because there are some that put bars on the side of the screen to match the size format of the app. It's nice it generally does it on its own, but some don't recognize the screen sizes and that causes cut off on the top/bottom or sides.
Overall I thinknthis phone has convinced me to invest in foldables in the future. I may not be able to go back to a regular phone after this.
A great feature I appreciate coming from the Note 9 is the 120hz screen refresh rate. It makes the big screen very fluid.

A bit early to tell
So far, pretty good. My one concern is the camera and if the screen will continue to hold up after a while. I need to find a good case so it can be protected better. I am super afraid to sit on it as I think it will be super fragile. It takes a bit to get used to the different screen set up but hopefully I will completely love it soon.

Fold2 Upgrade
This was a pre-order gift for my wife. She had the Fold2 and enjoyed it. Once she got the Fold3, there were a few issues that caused her to regret it. But after a factory reset, and rebuild by me, its running like it should. Phone works great and she enjoys the camera better. I would totally recommend this phone to anyone that asks. Battery life is better at the end, below 5%. It last longer before turning off. Pen is a great addition but not necessary because of the size of the phone and your ability to only hold one or the other.

I've only had this for a few days, but love it already. The S-pen makes it so easy to write notes and text. When the phone is open you can multitask with the option to view multiple apps at the same time. Also great for watching movies.

Not made for real life everyday use
The phone is awesome and all but there is no way to fully protect the phone from drops and the cases samsung make are laughable at best and over priced all of them. When the phone falls the first thing that was damaged was the left side of the phone thats not protected and it actually scratched the front of the phone under my cover so poor design for the cases and I dont know what the hinge is that make it fold but it just sticks out and it's heavy so I know when it drops the phone naturally falls on it

Unbelievable Quality
I guess it's been a while since I've owned a Samsung phone, but wow this thing is nice. It's really sturdy, and I love the screens, using multiple apps at once is intuitive, and the Spen works flawlessly. I am very impressed and happy with my purchase. 10 outta 10 would definitely recommend.

Been wanting a device like this for a long time! Love the size and design of this Z Fold 3. It fits my hand well when folded and really gives me a great amount of room and larger text when fully open. Oh and even works when partially folded!!! What fun!

We upgraded our Note 10+ to the Z Fold 3 and we are not disappointed. The ability the have such a large screen on a phone was not something I knew I wanted until I got this phone. The ability to seey emails played out on such a large screen is amazing. Samsung made a he rum device with the Z Fold 3 I don't ever want to go back to a regular phone

I joined the foldable screen smartphone experience with the Galaxy Fold 2. I absolutely loved the experience, handling my day to day work and my love for gaming & movies. I just received my new Galaxy Fold 3 and I couldn't be more happier. The build, screen, speed of processor, and S-pen support makes it the best tech you can get.

Super cool but some things are off.
This phone is so cool to use. The big screen is amazing to watch videos on or read e-books with. I love being able to use Microsoft word and other programs so that I don't have to use my laptop as often. I'm a public speaker and the big screen is amazing for reading over notes on stage.
Some downsides to all the benefits is that you will have to charge it back up at some point in the day, the big screen saps the battery pretty quick. Also the lack of dust a resistant rating makes me concerned with the lifespan of this phone just from daily use.
Overall, it's a really cool phone and there aren't that many downsides to it (besides the price!)

Got it a few days early. Upgraded from a Galaxy S10+. This phone is faster and better. I enjoy the multi-screen item for apps. Youtube is able to play videos while in folded out mode and comments are on the bottom screen. I get to do 1 app on 1 screen and another on the other screen. I am enjoying the seemless transition from tablet mode to having the app open on the outer screen.

I received my Z3 Fold a week and a half ago and I am very impressed with all the features, software, and the quality. So far it has been worth the investment and yes I am planning on purchasing a few more for the family. Apple friends are now wanting one as well. I am a NOTE fanatic and would love to see the next generation of Z fold as a Note. Great Job Samsung, always pushing for the next level product.

Don't think I can go back to a non folding phone
I've only had the phone a few days but while I'll miss the Note, I don't think I can go back to a non folding phone. Having the ability to watch content on an almost 8 inch screen is a game changer.
It's not perfect but I think it's time to move in from the Note to the Fold.

Good hardware
Coming from note, I bought Fold 3, I didn't like the front screen as it is very narrow for my fat fingers to type. I would have to unfold the phone and use 2 hands to reply to the messages where eles I could do the same task with one hand on my note. The case with s pen I received from Samsung was very average, was wobbly when place flat on the desk. The inside screen was not as appealing when the room light is reflacting, you could see the screen layer was not as smooth. I will go back to my note ultra 20 and wait for next 2 Gen to buy fold 3. Gets hot when charging. Samsung could do better then Apple, for $1799 you get a box, USB C cable, Sim removable pin and the phone. Should have added headphones

Impressive flexible screen
The Fold 3 is easy enough to hold with one hand, though I generally held it with both for easier typing. While I appreciate that the hinge is sturdy enough that you can leave the phone open at any angle, it makes life much easier. This is my first fold and I am really happy with my purchase so far.

Very good phone/tablet!!!
The Samsung Fold 3 takes a bit of getting used to as it is like no other phone out there now. I've used it a week now and still learning new things. I had a Note 10+ and the Fold 3 beats it in many ways. The front screen you see when folded is sharp and only slightly smaller than the Note 10. But when opened the Fold 3 screen is as big as my Samsung tablet screen. At a standard 256GB it has more memory than many other phones and I got the optional 512 GB. Open the screen is very sharp, better resolution than my tablet. And you do not notice the fold area in the middle whether viewing a web site, video, or reading a book. Lots of options for the open screen, one I like is viewing email the list is on the left side and the text displays on the right almost the size of my Note 10+ screen. Click on the email and it becomes full screen all 7.6". Same watching videos. The Fold has stereo speakers and very good sound. Everyone who has seen my new Fold 3 wants one, including two friends who have only had iPhones before.

Near Perfection: Fold 3
I purchased the Fold 3; 5g phone as a replacement for my Note 10 Plus.
I was pleasantly surprised that I really like the flexibility the Fold 3 gives me. I was concerned about the weight but my Note with case weighs 8.7 ounces. The Fold 3 with Fold s- pen and case weighs 12.1 ounces. I love using the s-pen to navigate the larger screen, but wish it worked on the front screen because I use it frequently. There are complaints about the case flapping, however I Fold it under the phone when not used and find this works for me. I like the size of the Fold pen, versus my Note 10 Plus s- pen. This is a well thought out and excellent device and with trade- in well worth the expenditure. The 512GB memory upgrade is my recommended upgrade as transferring my Note files and other Fold files used 25%of my memory. The large screen color and resolution really showcases videos. The sound is excellent for a phone and phone call audio clarity is far better than my Note. The Samsung software made transferring my files and apps a breeze.
Great job Samsung

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

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...!!!

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.

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.

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.

My new Z Fold 3 just arrived. I was a bit skeptical about the quality of the folding screen. But, it is better than I could have imagined. The images are crystal clear and vibrant. I am in my mid 50s and the larger screen is such a huge help visually.

Already great concept made even better!
I already had the z fold 2 which was already awesome so add 120 hz on both inside and outside, up the processor, make the screen s-pen compatible, and add water resistant and it's like getting a Rolex after buying a Casio!!! Nuff said!!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

Z Fold 3 is for me!
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!

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.

I bought once it is released. I just wanted to have like other tech geeks.
It is nice and smart choice. It reduces my weight. I don't need to carry many electronics. It covers tablet and small work with laptops.
You can still use like cellphone.
I recommends this if you need to access many pdf files.

Feels great!
I’m trying out the the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and I have to say I’m impressed. It’s really great feeling phone on hand. Coming from the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (which I thought the best feeling phone of all time) the Fold 3 is better. The “folding” part on this phone is amazing. Watching videos and looking a pictures, is breathtaking to be honest. Had the phone for a few days now and it still amazes me when I open the phone up to look or watch something. Also closing the phone is equally just as satisfying as opening. In all the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is an amazingly good phone that I have been recommended to everyone. People would stop me and ask “ omg is that the folding phone?!” I’m like “yes, yes it is the Galaxy Z Fold 3, want to hold it?” And you should see how wide their eyes with excitement and joy as there holding, opening, and closing the phone.

Galaxy Z Fold 3 512GB Just Right
I have used this device every minute since it was delivered. This has been a solid device and the talk of everyone in the room. As light reflects on the fold screen surface you can see ripples and bends in the screen but these cannot be felt (besides the actual seem) and they do not show at all while viewing the screen normally. Because of my constant use the battery has been draining but at the expected rate. Constant use lasts me almost 3/4 of the day without any charge. This device does have wireless charging and using the tripad charger from Samsung the phone lines up and charges much easier then my old S20 did. The one complaint I would have if I was asked would be with the phone case that holds the S Pen. While installed when opening the phone it sticks out beyond the left edge of the phone. This makes it a bit uncomfortable to hold with two hands. I overcome this by simply letting that flap hang, as I just hold the two sides of the phone.

So far i love this phone, the front screen is perfect for quick text replys and changing songs without having to open the phone. Only issue I've noticed so far is the battery life is not that great compared to my note 20 ultra with the same settings applied, i also wish the cameras were a little better.

Your daily routine but better.
I've had the Note ever since the 2nd variant was on the market and love the ability to multi task along with signing documents on the go via s pen. I initially held out on the fold series because of lack of s pen support but had to jump on this pre-order once I heard that it was supported. Remember you do lose the air functions that the note has but for basic usage this is by far the most convenient mini tablet to date. Can't wait for the tri fold or the scroll variants for my next mode! Thank you Samsung!

This phone is exactly as it's advertised! I am so so happy that I invested in the Samsung Z fold 3! Excellent call clarity, Big Beautiful Screen Display, I love the ability to use an S pen, Excellent Bluetooth Connection, truly a great combination of phone and a tablet.

The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is a must have
I went from a Galaxy Fold 2 to the 3. Very happy lots of improvements and at a lower price. Media covers the whole screen now cam is hidden now which is fantastic.
Water proof so now I don't have to worry as much about a little dunk or splash and also the s pen works so well I've been waiting for a no version of the fold for a very long time since the patent leak I am very happy.

Great Phone
I have been skeptical about a folding phone since the original fold was released. I loved the idea but just was not sure how it would hold up and perform. I have been a Samsung fan since the first day that I received my Galaxy Note 7. I was devastated when I had to return that phone due to battery problems. With Samsung not continuing the Note series this year I decided it was time to give the folding phone a chance and man I am not disappointed. Even though an integrated S pen would have been nice but maybe in the future.

So far we have used it for movies, taking notes, photos, taking turns drawing each other, and playing call of duty as well as Mario Cart! The technology that is this device does not seize to amaze me. I would buy it two times over if I had to. There is nothing like it, most definitely my #1 purchase of the year!!! By the way, I am a 1st time android user! Thank you samsung for creating such an awesome piece of technology. It’s perfect.

Far from original, good direction. Solid upgrade
I have taken a risk, trading in my Note 10+ 512GB. So far, I've been quite happy with my switch. I do not like the official Samsung flip case with S Pen, but am quite happy with the SPen interaction. The phone itself feels sturdy, though I cant quite shake the fear of damage to the screens. Its got enough horsepower under the hood to handle what I've thrown at it so far. Social, games, casual, reading, ect.
With all that said, I still cannot say for sure that I would pay retail value for this phone. The preorder perks were completely necessary for me to even consider the phone. Ultimately, I paid/financed about $1000 and that is bearable. I would say its a $1000-$1300 value.

Samsung z fold3 5g
I’ve had this phone for almost a week so not a long time to really dive deep in the features. So far I do have to say I’m so happy I made the switch, when watching movies or videos it’s the best experience I’ve ever had on a mobile device. I will say that with the front screen it is hard to text when you have big/thick fingers and find misspelled words all the time. Overall it’s a great phone and the food in the middle doesn’t show as much as I thought it would.

being in the past and realizing your in the future
Was very heartbroken to see the Note Series end. I was even tempted to just switch to the S Series after the official announcement. But, I cave and pre-order the Z Fold3 telling myself that maybe the experience will be worth it at least. Since day one I fell in love with this phone. I remember when I first jumped onto the Note Series train and I been on board since day one. I loved the massive display it had back in the day, best way to read articles, books, etc. And honestly the fold makes the experience feel brand new again, feels like I went back in time to when I got my first Note and seeing such an amazing display. Reading on this device is amazing and having a smaller display for the day to day thing feels like I'm getting the best of both worlds. I'm glad I pushed my self to the pre order because I honestly feel like I'm in the future of technology!

On the right track
I won't lie I love that they added alot of the things that the fold 1 and 2 were missing on this model. I'm a little disappointed that the battery life was made smaller when bigger was Cleary the better choice. I don't like the fact they kept the same camera set up but compared to the phone I had it's way better. I really love that they kept the price down overall the fold 3 is a pretty awesome phone. If next year's model comes with a bigger battery, up to date camera setup, bigger front screen and no inside camera and dust ip rating I think it will be the best phone ever created. All and all I love Samsung as a company they work hard to give us things other companies are to scared to give us and they continue to try to make it affordable and great for all there different types of customers

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)!

What a Phone
What a phone this is, in so many ways. It's a Heavy phone, get used to it. The battery gets used up rather quickly with the big screen; what did you expect? There's some app glitches here and there, very minor, maybe it's just me, no big deal at all.
It's Gorgeous to look at, it's Amazing to use, I can't belive it's waterproof, and can now use a pen, like I had with every single Note phone since the beginning!

Great smartphone, the bar has been raised.
Purchased it pre order after reading and seeing the early adopter reviews. The technology and new display just blew me away. I was hesitant in going with any phone that had a folding display but I took a chance because it was a Samsung product.
I have to say now that I have experienced it first hand it far exceeds my expectations. The screen is clear, crisp and the colors are rich. The phone is fast and is an excellent tool with the huge screen. Well done Samsung!

Foldables are here to stay!
I am a day one owner of this device and upgraded from a z fold 2... Although I loved that phone, this one feels superior in every way. The inner screen feels better due to the new screen protector, the hinge ever so slightly closes more, the outer screen is now 120hz and of course the device now supports the S pen which makes this device even more productive!

This is my first foldable phone and it couldn't be better. I am loving the freedom to multi task on the big screen. There is still a lot of development that has to take place for apps being built but eventually it will be there.

So yes this phone has a hefty price but with the trade in program plus early preorder helped reduce the cost down. I was not sure if i was willing to drop a rack on this phone but since i am into innovative ideas and samsung has been doing that with their fold line i decided to cop. At first i felt the phone might be delicate but the hinge where the phone folds is sturdy and the screen protector has improved compared to the previous model. The ability to have a phone/tablet in the palm of your hands is amazing! The free real estate you have with the bigger screen plus the added ability to have multiple apps opened at the same time is pretty rad. I can have a video running on the side while scrolling social media or browsing the web. The outer screen could be a problem if you have big hands so you might find yourself opening it up for the bigger display. Camera is fine for your average user but will find better options out their with non foldable phones. Battery life is good with lasting throughout the day with some base usage.
I don't think I'll be able to go back to a regular smartphone since this fold has convinced me what the future for smartphones can be and is eventually gonna require to innovative ideas to attract ppl who want a different phone experience.

This Phone is a Blast
What can I say? Samsung makes the best phones for me. I used the fruit phone for a few iterations and was very unimpressed. I Switched to Samsung a decade ago and have never looked back. The Note was always my favorite, until now. The speed at which this phone processes is awesome! The features and apps are endless. The double screen is what truly sets it apart, obviously. I don't get to watch much tv or many movies, but when I do it is because I am on the go and the Z Fold 3 has significantly increased the enjoyability and watchability of media on a phone. The S Pen is a great addition as well.
The only downside to the phone is the battery life. Luckily most people are not too far from an outlet during a regular day. I understand the decrease was needed to keep the phone slimmer, but my S20 Ultra lasted for days compared to this one. Hopefully they will release a software update that will help with this issue. All in all my favorite phone so far!

3rd Fold and Still Loving It
This is the 3rd Z fold that I have owned. I have had each model from the first to this newest model. Every time it gets better and better. The most popular comment I get is that the inner screen seems too fragile and can be easily damaged; my response is always the same. For 3 years I've been using the Z Folds and have never scratched the inner screen. You really have to intentionally do so or be unnecessarily rough to do any damage.
This device is diverse, great with multitasking, and incredibly unique. Its fun to use and the experience is like nothing else out there; plus, it's water proof now! The larger inner screen makes everything easier and the outer screen is convenient when wanting to do something quick. I spend a lot of time on this device and that justifies the price point for me. It's a smart phone and tablet in one. It's like have 2 devices that are always connected and work together but you don't have to have 2 devices, just one.

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.

Best thing ever happened to CellPhones
you'll never think of owning a regular phone after working with the Z-Fold. It's very different, the way it feels while folded like carrying something substantial, and when unfold it's a whole new experience, wanna show you're gallery or something on the map to a friend, you don't have to zoom in. Speakers Sound quality is amazing, the best I've heard in a cellphone. Very happy with my purchase, and worth every penny.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A new and great innovation!
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

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.

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.

Solid Progress, Samsung!
This is a solid device that is keeping me most productive than any phone I ever owned before. I wish the battery could be better, but that's no reflection on performance at all.

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.

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

A Welcomed Change
It's nice and refreshing to see a company daring to be different and pushing the boundaries of what a phone can do. I didn't know how I would feel going from the Galaxy Note 20 ultra to the Galaxy Fold 3 but I am glad I did.
Sure the camera is not as great but the experience of a foldable phone outweighs that one feature that I'm sure will be coming in feature updates of the fold.
Before I used my phone for normal day to day use but now I see myself using it more and more productively in fact. I work in the construction management field and hopping on work video calls, checking emails, and reviewing blueprints is so much easier. Outside of work just the entertainment experience is something no other phone can provide. If anyone is looking for a change I highly recommend checking this phone out.

Amazing next step with the fold
I have had all 3. I did debate going with 3 since it seemed the s pen was the only real stand out feature over the 2...actually, hates off to you Samsung the 3 certainly has many under the hood upgrades making this a well done next step.

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.

Nice but I really miss my stylus from note 10
Bought flex 3. It is a nice phone. Was given a stylus as promo. This is huge and not practical to take with. I bought a case with pen holder only to just get the pen and it is a tablet pen and huge. Very disappointed. I miss the stylus from note 10.
Overall it 8s a nice phone. I like how big the screen is. I really think it should have memory expansion. I dont like using online storage. How hard is it to have a memory card?? I don't need a better camera. Would like my smart pen and memory expansion. Otherwise same as my note 10. In hindsight, should have kept the note 10 as cost is not justified.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Luxury foldable phone
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

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.

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.

Some apps have little issues here and there, but I'm sure the apps will bring more support to this device as time goes on.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Special phone!
Well I was a bit worried that I would miss my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G. I'm no longer worried! The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 is 10 times more than my Note 20 was. I'm enjoying its ability to do everything the Note did but much better. Multi tasking is easy and feels natural. Some folks don't like the "skinny" party of the Fold but it honestly looks smaller than it acts. I'm able to use pretty much anything I would normally use on the single screen. Messages, email and of course phone use is simple and easy. The big screen is beautiful! I love watching my YouTube content on this thing!

This phone is incredible. Much stronger and sturdier design. When opened, the screen is large and beautiful. A small tablet and candy bar phone in one. The inside screen feels like glass. Run multiple apps side by side with great utility. Play games with 120hz refresh rate, super smooth.
Battery life is average, not great. Wish the outer screen was a little wider to better mirror a standard bar phone.

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!

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.

The phone has plenty of storage capacity (512GB Model), is quick with its internal memory, processor, refresh rate, and has great cameras. I have the unlocked model which doesn't contain much of the bloatware of cell phone carriers. Prior to this, I've owned nearly every Samsung Note model and several Apple phones for work. I like flipping the phone open and have a nice viewing screen with the capability to utilize several different windows simultaneously. It is a phone and mini tablet in one. It is great to read with the bigger screen, view pictures, and watch videos. The Fold3 has all the latest features in cell phones. It is pricey, but with the trade in allowance and the other available incentives, made the purchase price the same as any other high end phone. The only negative is it is a little thick when closed. Invest in a good case, there are several available.

Best Fold Ever
I got the fold 3 with the case and pen, I am using the pen a lot more than I thought I would. It's been great so far. I do have one small niche with it, every so often, maybe 3 times, the pen's tip gets caught on the screen protector. But other than that it's great. I am sure the technology will get better and better. I got the watch 4 classic to go with it and it's great too.

If you like the Note, you will love the Fold3
I am thrilled with the quality of the screens. The picture quality and the size is wonderful. I have had the phone for a few weeks now. I like it enough that I just sent in my Note 20 and my Galaxy Watch 3. I was a bit concerned having not seen the phone when I purchased it. I was also worried that the fold would be distracting. When the screen is black you can see a small wave in the screen but is is pretty slight. When the screen is turned on it is almost invisible. If you like a larger screen and more space to write or draw, this is a great phone. The only downside for me from the previous phone is battery life. I do find that I have to charge it late in the afternoon. I would recommend this phone to anyone that is interested.

I love the phone.
Ive had this phone for about 2 weeks now, and in general the pone is amazing.
The onoy thing I was hesitant about was the camera, but it takes great pictures!
The cons i do have to point out are the battery life. It doesn't last long, and it's slow at charging.
Next thing is not having expandable memory/storage.
It was a hassle to move all mh pics and videos to a 3rd party cloud and stuff like that.

The phone may have taken a bit longer than expected to get to me because of the massive amount of pre-orders, but rightly so because this phone is definitely an amazing experience hand's on. Worth it completely, the 120hz display makes it feel like I'm playing on PC. So needless to say games are absolutely beautiful on the large inner display, LOL, LOR is going to be fun on this phone !!

Awesome for work and play
This phone is the best blend of tablet and phone. Gaming and watching movies is amazing on the big screen. Answer text messages and phone calls are super easy on the exterior screen. But what is truly awesome is the ability to look at drawings and layouts for work on a big screen that you can hold in your pocket.
The weight and size are great. It doesn't feel like I have a brick in my pocket.
I won't ever be able to go back to a normal phone.

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!

Great phone.
Phone itself is great. I like the underscreen camera, it's there but you won't notice it unless you are looking for it. Tho it is hard to find a great case for the phone. Most thir party case requires adhesive which I do not want to use on this phone. I bought samsung's spen case. Great but hard to find a car mount for it. The case extends a bit when you unfold the phone.

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

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.

A definite upgrade from Version 2
I received this a day early from the delivery date and it’s an exciting leap forward for the fold as a device. Having owned the version one and 2 I can say the addition of the stylus is a large improvement. Size differences are negligible and if there’s one complaint it’s the move away from a selected hinge color. Personalization outside of cases are still a thing. Other than that, you won’t be disappointed with the improved graphics, camera’s slimmer profile and the stylus.

Beauty and Engineering Collide
I've been using my Fold 3 for about a month. I still wake up excited every day to use this device. I've never experienced that feeling with a phone. I've never owned a folding device before this one and I am almost sad I didn't join the craze sooner. The device itself is sturdy and survives everyday use with ease. I've even dropped the device from short heights on a few occasions and there still isn't a scratch on it. Both the inner and outer displays are beautiful. 120hz makes the experience buttery smooth. Using the phone folded or unfolded feels incredibly natural. Thanks to the Labs feature even apps that aren't designed for use with the phone look and perform like they are. The cameras are great and I haven't had one complaint after taking hundreds of photos. Having an under display camera is super convenient for video calls. The S-Pen is also fun to use with this device. It bring note taking to a whole new level and has made me much more productive. The battery lasts me all day, and with a display this large, that's really all I could ask for. Coming from an iPhone, using this device is like stepping into the future and I can never look back.

Paradigm shift unfolds in handheld gaming
I pre-ordered the Galaxy Z Fold 3 on the 11th and received it on the 26th - the day before it was even "officially" released, and like a rampaging Viking, I pillaged and plundered that packaging until the prize was... pardon the pun... unfolded... and... unfolded it was, and for a month now, unfolded it has mostly remained. I'm a gamer, and being that I I've been around since the birth of Nintendo, I've seen the growth, flux and flow of gaming hardware and software alike, and this device is the perfect next step in the evolution of both, the games themselves, the hardware they're played on and it is a new path for the gamer to explore.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
As a technology enthusiasts, I feel this phone is amazing and overwhelmed my expectation for this masterpiece. 120hz narrow cover screen actually pretty handy for regular use. I am quite used to the narrow screen and I like the feel of one hand holding the phone. Although typing experience is not that great, overall the cover screen do its job. The main display is a beast, 120hz oled display for watching movie and gaming are amazing and I can't go back to other phone. The Cameras are not the most powerful but fold 3 Camera is dope. I would say the picture quality is well generated and the software help enhance the detail of the photo. The only downside is it's quite heavy but overall it can't complaint anything about this masterpiece, good job Samsung.

Samsung is Trash from
Literally the worst phone I've ever owned
In under 2 weeks the right panel of the right screen started failing. No drops, no moisture, kept in a case. No UbreakIfix in MA has the ability to fix this and Samsung refuses to replace it so my only option is to ship it to them for at least 2 weeks for repair. I 1000% regret trading in my Galaxy Note 20 ultra 5g for this thing. The Note was reliable, had better camera's by 2 generations, better battery life, better build quality and reliable. I'm returning this horrible horrible phone, it is an absolute nightmare as is Samsung customer service.

Has a good feel
Positives: great phone / tablet. Like the way you can switch from phone to tablet. When using the internet in tablet mode feels like you using a computer. Web pages show up like they would on a normal computer screen. Finger print censor is in a great place feel all new phones should follow suit
Negatives: easy to damage middle screen. Recommend using the fold pencil.

GREAT Phone, Returning since eSIM not turned on
I was very delighted to use the phone and pleasantly surprised at all the design features - the ability to mount the s-pen not withstanding. It would have been nice to have a mag mount for the s-pen, but I could have lived with a case or carrying the s-pen separately.
But the main disappointment was the lack of activation of the eSIM. This is a deal breaker for me since I carry two numbers - one for work, and one personal - and dont want to carry two phones with me. The specs for fold 3 seemed to indicate the presence of an eSIM but I cant get it acivated - looks like it ha sbeen disabled in the USA. Tech support has not been able to help me. I am planning to return the phone because of this reason - eventhough I would very much have loved to keep it and use it.

As soon as I received the Galaxy Z Fold 3, I was impressed at the craftsmanship of this device and the attention to detail from Samsung's designers. I've been using it for a few weeks now and I will not go back to a regular phone. There's so many things you can do with the Galaxy Z Fold 3 such as; taking amazing pictures, multitasking having 3 windows open at the same time, taking notes using the S-Pen, having a larger screen real estate while watching videos or surfing the web. The outer and inner displays are gorgeous screens flaunting vibrant colors and deeper blacks with a 120hz refresh rate that makes it feel quick and snappy. Battery life is great, and storage options are perfect for everyone's personal needs. All in all, it's an amazing smartphone (if you can call it that) it's in a category all of its own. Samsung has once again raised the bar for the competition (looking at you Apple). Very happy with this device overall, thank you Samsung.

Once you fold, can't go back to old!!!!
I was scared to trade in my note 20 ultra for the fold 3. I'm happy I did, the battery life is great or even better than the note. I get way more done. I don't even use my laptop anymore. Love looking at my spreadsheets and document in the full screen opposed to a regular phone.
I could never see myself going back to a regular slab phone!!!

A worthy upgrade!
I needed a unique upgrade to my previous phone and I am so glad I bought the Z Fold3 because I was COMPLETELY blown away by its features, especially Flex Mode! I can watch videos without needing an external kickstand to watch it comfortably! The S-Pen was the one that I loved the most becuase you can do so much more with the screen real estate, and the fact that it can work on a flexible screen just makes me even more impressed! I am definitely keeping this for a very long while!

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.

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.

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.

First Time Order - Great Product!
I love the bigger screen when unfolded. I work off of my phone a lot and to be able to actually see more info at one time is a huge advantage and a time saver. Anyone who uses their phone such as Note users can appreciate that. The use of an S-Pen is definitely welcome but there is no good way to keep the pen attached to the phone. (The Samsung pen case just doesn't cut it). See reviews for that info. Overall it's a beast of a phone that will serve me well.

This is the cell phone of future, available today!
I was concerned about using the front screen, it seemed to small when comparing it to other flagship phones. After using the Galaxy Z Fold 3 I quickly realized that the front screen is the perfect size for most activities, essentially for one handed operation. Most flagship phones have become too big for one handed use just because of their size. I will never go back to a non foldable phone. Great Job Samsung!

Game changer
I came from the note 8 and wanted something with a bigger screen, so this was the perfect upgrade for me. The fold has not disappointed. It's the next best thing to a tablet.

I went from a S10+ to a fold 2 pre-owned to test out and if I decided foldables were the future like I was hearing I'd return it and buy the fold 3. You're reading this review so yea I clearly bought the fold 3 and foldables are clearly the future. If I didn't have the return for full refund I probably wouldn't have gotten the fold 3, changes were mostly incremental and a cheaper starting price. My favorite is probably the fact that it's waterproof now.

Game Changer!
A large screen to view texts in bigger fonts comfortably and get stuff actually done with your smartphone on the fly when needed.

Love, Love, Love It!!
Best phone ever! It is definitely not for everyone. You will either totally hate it or totally love it. The size is definitely ackward feeling in your hand open or closed. It just takes some getting used to.

galaxy Z fold 3 5G 512GB
the phone itself is great.
but the battery doesn't last long, i charge it twice a day.
the selfie camera inside is very poor in pixel.
i hope the next galaxy Z fold 4 will improve the selfie camera inside like the Note 20 ultra 5G... the battery must be larger maybe 10,000 mAh.

Best Phone for Apps
Everything is just amazing better on it but some apps need to be updated to use the fold feature. It is pretty durable too and we'll worth it.

Multi Z king!
What an amazing multitasking device like no other. I haven't been this exited for a device since the Note 5. Everything you know about phones have change with this beast. You'll discover new ways to use your every day phone, and it's awesome, you won't regretted. The Z fold 3 screen protector does feel more glass, I was worried because Z folds 2 screen protector felt more soft plastic. Z fold 3 cameras are great, dont worry about the negative reviews about them. I have sompared the cameras to my S21 ultra and Iphone 11 pro, and in many ways Z fold 3 did a better job except for the zoom. Only complaints I have is the battery life, it's way too short. I hope for next year's model they really prioritize the battery.

Changed Smartphones Forever
I have had Treo phones... Iphones.... Various Galaxy phones...And now this. Using this phone with the S Pen is such and enjoyable experience. Watch the YouTube video on productivity using this phone. Go in to Best Buy and see it for yourself. I took advantage of the pre-order deals and I will never go back to a traditional smart phone.

Amazing features and multi-tasking is GOLD!!!
This phone is absolutely amazing. The quality and features that it has is top-tier. I absolutely love the multi-tasking feature and multiple pop-up windows. I am able to do my work and listen/watch my content. I plan on having this phone for the long run. Samsung did the thing with the Z Fold 3.
