bottom line is you are living every day on a fear of when my display going to die on where the hinge or the crease is. Maybe I'm unlucky but my flip cracked on the crease not even a week into the normal usage.
I just got the fold 3 and I'm loving the ability to multitask
Samsung keyboard is better than Gboard in most ways..
I was really excited for my Z Flip 3…. and then I got it. The battery life was awful (think HTC EVO awful), the phone overheated in my pocket while listening to Pandora over bluetooth, and half the widgets I use couldn't scale correctly. Oh and they removed Dex. Physically, it felt great (when it wasn't over heating), but the experience was just not up to snuff for what I do. It was the only time I've ever returned a phone.
I know this vid is more of a fan spot, but it's not going to be sunshine and rainbows for everyone.
I made it all the way till the intro. Does this guy know anything about intonation? It's like a sleep loop… And what is that thing on his chin?
My fold is coming tomorrow.can’t wait .
Phone OVERHEATS, has crappy battery life. I cannot believe how nobody is experiencing overheating
After 2 weeks with the Z fold, I love this product!!
How is SwiftKey on the galaxy Z fold 3
I love the Flavor savor on the lower lip.. 🤮
Galaxy z fold 3 is terrible.. So hard to text, s pen is absolute garbage compared to note ultra ,battery time is garbage, especially if you love surfing the web and multimedia.so No way is it worth the price sticker . Camera is same as older cameras on different models literally cannot believe they came out with this piece of shit . When u watch tik tok or Facebook or watch movies they don't even fit the screen size … 😒 Total and absolutely shit phone If you have a note keep it and I'm talking a note9 , a note 10 or note 20 all are 10 times better and don't even get me started with this ugly crease down the middle of your phone. YOU WILL NOTICE IT ALWAYS . Also so many bloated apps pre downloaded. And it gets really confusing with 2 apps for evrything . So bullshit that they use these olde7r syouhit apps yes you can disable them but it's stupid because even after they are disabled they still ask for permission to use whenever u do anything . Literally 4/10 .
well looks like samsung might putting microsoft apps in the mix to.
Samsung Internet > Chrome
Google Assistant > Bixby
Gallery =/= Photos
Samsung e-mail > Gmail
Google Lens > Bixby Vision
Samsung Keyboard > GBoard
S Phone > Phone by Google
Samsung Notes > Google Keep
S Files = G Files
Galaxy Store =/= App Store
My opinions
7:19 they DO continue to play when you're using the adjacent app! How the heck are you using the phones? LMAO I'm playing this YouTube video right now as I scroll through Instagram, I'm on the Fold 2
Easy enough to use Samsung photo app and back all up to google photos, especially when swapping between devices often. Samsung browser is pretty sweet too
SwiftKey!
"Nothing to improve in the next fold"? Uhhh… SCREEN DURABILITY. It still is just plastic and that pen will soon indent the screen.
Thanks Nick much appreciated, big love, kindest regards, Richard U.K
I'm probably the only one that loves pattern unlock!!!
@nick! Good stuff buddy. I got the fold 3 but this isn't the foldable I wanted….the foldable holy grail Huawei mate x2! But over here that phone is a myth! Good seeing you bro!
It is intriguing but I think I’ll will wait a couple of years before I pick one up. Especially for this price. They don’t seem worth it atm, but they keep getting better.
I really can't wait to finally pick up my Galaxy Z Fold 3 and videos like this have really got me excited to own my first foldable device.
Here's the truth.
Nobody should be buying these devices or anything at all from anti consumer Samsung.
The end.
Enough is enough. You're going to cripple the device if somebody who owns it decides to unlock the bootloader.
These devices aren't worth reviewing. Tech"journalists" need to grow a spine already or find a new line of work.
Great video!
In screen finger print sensor is great. I wouldnt go back honestly.
The flip is cool the fold is stupid.
While Bixby kinda sucks, Bixby routines is extremely useful on the flip to help increase battery life.
This was totally a different video. 👏
Samsung apps like Internet browser, Samsung pay, files is much better.
well it's a step on the right direction I think
@6:00 I don't agree. I have an S10 and the face unlock on my phone works perfectly (of course it doesn't when there isn't enough light, but that is a given). Also, I usually only press the power button when locking the device, when unlocking I usually just put my finger on the fingerprint scanner or double tap the screen. You can double tap the screen to lock it as well, but since I am using a custom launcher, I can't do that.
In-display fingerprint scanners 👎🏽

Actually, I prefer Samsung apps, such as Gallery, Files, Messages and Internet.
I only learned that they are ridiculously difficult to repair and still very fragile and expensive, even after the price drop.
Also: No SD Card support and lack of audio jack is still a no-go for me…
What I've learned over a week with the Z fold 3.
I can never go back to a normal form factor again
