Beautiful phone! Screen is amazing! Battery life is great so far. If you are the type that drops your phone, would not buy. Seems extremely delicate. Highly recommend getting protection plan.

Overall it's a solid phone with great performance but I had several issues with it: 1. Screen began to splinter down the middle fold within a year 2. The aspect ratio Samsung chose is super baffling. No idea why they went with such a stretched vertical screen. Makes sense when it's open but the Google Pixel Fold makes a lot more sense with its aspect ratio. It's so bad to the point that I always found myself unfolding it every time just to use it. 3. Inside camera is essentially pointless. It works, but the quality is so poor, it would have been better to not even have. 4. Never been a fan of Samsung's UI. It's not the worst but I definitely prefer Google's Pixel UI. With all of that said, there's plenty to enjoy! 1. The folding aspect is awesome for just about everything; scrolling social media, typing, entertainment, gaming, etc. 2. The screen is smooth with great colors and contrast, per the usual with Samsung! 3. The Rear camera is pretty awesome and high quality 4. While the battery isn't amazing, it worked great and lasted a long time especially with the extra screens. Wireless charging with it was pretty good too 5. 512GB is plenty of storage for a cell phone when paired with Cloud Photos/Videos 6. It's solidly built. At no point did I feel like I was going to break the screens. 7. Great sound, especially when folded open while watching a movie or playing a game. 8. More than enough performance for a phone. It never faltered the entire time I used the phone, even in gaming I bought mine almost a year after it came out and it was significantly cheaper. It was before the Fold 4 even came out. I would recommend going with the Fold 4 or 5 though as I have heard they fixed some of the QC with the fold screen on those ones.

So after 40+ days of waiting for my preorder(unreal @bestbuy..give me geeks squad insurance discount), I can finally review my Fold 3. Build quality = 10, Looks and wow factor = 10, Brightness and color display = 10, Sound = 8, Camaras = 7, Software features = 10, Battery life = 6, Battery charge rate 6, Screen resoultion = 8, reception signal and Microphone = 10, Ports 8, Memory and Storage = 10, The phone is heavy and takes some time to get use to it. The Fold 3 is an winner.

The good Is fast ,no lag, display is great , 2 apeaker are loud, when open everything is bigger and refresh rate 120hz is super smooth. The bad Ia heavy, hard to fit a case, with a case can slide down the notifications bar easy, im using UAG civilian highly recommend, battery drain fast , slow charge on wireless or non super fast chargers 25w+, i think wouldn't survive a drop on a hard surface like concrete,no micro sd, camera quality is no good. Instagram is not full screen. Overall is good phone the reasons i bought it becase Samsung note not in production this year.

I decided to pick up this phone because the screen on my note 10+ was acting up. Initially I was worried about how the fold would sit in my pocket, but it honestly isnt too bad. I dont notice it any more than I did with my prior note devices (3, 5, 9, 10+) Although this is already the 3rd generation of this phone, there still needs to be some refinement of how the apps switch from cloae to open, and visa versa. Since this is really the only model out there with this capability, it will be a while until more functionality between that transition is fine tuned, unless other devices begin to adopt this format. Coming from the galaxy note 10+, i was on a 60hz screen. Getting bumped up to the 120hz was a nice surprise. I knew the refresh rate was updated, but its more of a situation that you dont appreciate it until you start to live with it. Battery life is usually what I see as a complaint for this phone. Considering that the battery size is smaller than the other flagships put there, and large screens, plus 120hz refresh rate, Im not sure how expecting longer battery life is reasonable. In addition to being my personal phone, I also use it to respond to work emails/chats, and find the battery life sufficient to get me through the day. I also dont have social media accounts, so im not as glued to my phone with posting stories and whatnot, however i do occasiinally browse reddit threads. Some drawbacks: The front screen in folded form is a bit skinny for my preference, although it is beneficial for those that usually have a rough time reaching the whole keyboard. The galaxy s pen z fold edition should have been implemented with more functionality as designed with the note series. I feel for the price point of 50 USD, or 80 USD with the case, is a bit high for the basic features it has. I thought that since the note wasnt getting an updated model in 2021, the innovation should have been shifted to the z fold series. This phone is definitely a niche market phone, but I think is a good step forward for advancing phones to the next level. As we progress through the many iterations if flagships, its becoming harder to warrant spending 1k+ on a phone that has minimal upgrades to the prior rendition.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Love the big screen and body style of the phone but I think it is expensive compare to other samsung or iphone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great phone. First time going with a foldable and love the phone, but I do miss my note 20.
