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

As my first folding device this phone is amazing. Being able to watch videos on a big screen takes entertainment to another level. The only downside is that the phone is a little more fragile than other, but if you are careful or buy the Geek squad protection you should be fine.

Great screen in and out. Colors are clear and precise. Runs fast and movies look great. A little heavier than i expected especially with a case on it but definitely worth the money for a 2 for 1. Phone and tablet
