I looked all over the place for a used one a few months ago and like other users have said, it's like they purged it from the internet. Luckily, one came up for sale for around $300-350 and had a 1 year refurbished warranty from eBay, so I bought it and I haven't regretted that decision. The reason why I didn't get a newer model Fold is because after the first generation, they all use UTG (ultra thin glass) and they all crack down the middle eventually. The first generation didn't crack, the LCD would sometimes develop dead pixels and in more severe cases, one half of the screen would go dead. Now it something like that happened, there is a reseller on ebay that is currently selling used inner displays with the frame attached for around $200 so all of the internals can be swapped in. The later models would have to be sent in because nobody has affordable second hand display replacements. They're all hundreds and hundreds of dollars and like I said before, they ALL crack up the denter eventually. I haven't had ANY issues with durability on this device and I even dropped it on the asphalt closed.

samsung3 fold is the worse phone I have ever had. with an extended warranty, it broke on two separate occasions, First time was the main face of the phone, that started bubbling and had to have the cover replaced. 2 months later, the main screen broke due to grit getting under the screen cover. I was blamed for this saying that I had not looked after it properly and the repair bill was £520.
So be warned, keep well clear of the samsung fold unless you want a large repair bill

Karen, 17 Feb 2022Good but the cover screen is too small.What you expect from an extenal screen?
I don't think external screen on bigger foldable like this are useful for me.

Just got myself a used unit...couldn't be more happier! even though it's outdated (sorta) but still working like charm for my daily use. Love the huge screen, love the tiny front screen as quick-view, love the loud stereo speaker, love the battery life, net browsing, banking-apps and social media experience...movie watching...sturdy built...feels solid in hand...so on and on...love everything about this phone. The only downside (to me) is the weight...kinda heavy though but yeah...it's designed and built this way so gotta accept else adapt. Again...not regret getting this phone although it's a used unit. Youtubing a bit turn-off (for some) due to the both top & bottom empty black frame but due to sharp images and vibrant pleasant colour...that compensate away the two black frames.

Still the best foldable on the market as of the end of 2021 and with the latest release of the Oppo Find N. If only Samsung didn't need mess up the outer display by having such enormous bezels. I hope they fired the guy who thought they was a good idea. Otherwise, the dimensions are almost perfect. Narrow and easy to hold/operate when folded and an aspect ratio that mostly makes sense when unfolded, unlike like every iteration since.

Anonymous, 07 Sep 2020Is it dual sim or not??? We see that Samsung has changed the whole smart devices of the 2019 experience and changed to dual sim in 2020.

Just grabbed one in 'as new' condition for 35% of the new launch price with the Galaxy buds, with good warranty remaining all beautifully boxed and presented, such great buying at those $s, a lot of phone/tech for reasonable money now. Fold 1 4G is a premium phone open the fold for content viewing or exploring, working, multi-tasking and use the front screen which is plenty big enough to do quick things easily, most apps I use can be seen on the front screen. Not as big a fan of the Android 11 update the menu structure has been dumb down, making it harder to find options that you need. Importantly the screens of the fold always delight when you pick it up to use, it actually works well as a phone getting good reception, clear speaker, easy to 'navigate'.Tthe new UI allow lots customisability, I am mindful of bloatware from Samsung with more add-ons appearing for Bixby there about 4 associated apps [I don't use Bixby/voice assistants anyway]. 521Gb memory for me is plenty and I use the e-sim function which works well with my Samsung LTE watch. 5G, my last phone had it, I couldn't tell any great advantages [where I am for the network, so not a biggy, 4g/LTE work well]. There's a lot of talk of the s pen, [which of course don't work on the Folds 1 or 2] but I use an old capacitve [rubber bumper tip] stylus on mine and it works well on both the inner and outer screens, would like to source a more slimmer tipped unit, but my current works fine. Overall.
I'm a Happy Fold 1 owner.

A quick answer to most questions and silly answers. People who talk about thick or foldable phones, plastic screens, size of front screen 4in, etc. have to be realistic:
1. Ever tried to use a Nokia Communicatior from 13 years back. E90 - communicators? Ever check the screen on those? If you dont remember, then this phone will be think and useless.
2. The 4In front screen is just a little smaller and slimmer than the original Iphone. All loved that phone.
3. We as humans 20 years ago, wanted smaller and smaller phones, now we want the biggest. So to have a hugh screen which folds into a small compact version, is not bad.
4. This phone is expensive to make. The screen i am sure is not easy to develop and reproduce. All foldables have been expensive. If anyone owns a mercedes, why do you own one? isnt it too much, why couldnt you buy a honda?
I have had this phone for a 1 year now. My review:
1. Beats my note 20 ultra for battery life.
2. 512 is plenty of space for me.
3. Media is fantastic on this.
4. The small screen is good for 1 handed use and quick browsing.
5. The durability is beyond what i expected. I have dropped my phone a few times. A few knicks, but no damage to any of the screens.
6. Its perfect for my work (digital business). Can do a whole host of things at the same time.
People have to stop complaining about price. Every single thing you own in your house; there are two types of. Expensive version and cheap version. Dyson hairdryer and cheap hairdryer; alienware computer or cheap computer; normal tv or samsung 100in.
So with this phone, you either buy a normal phone or this one. The fold users dont look at you and say yours is shit.
If you have the money buy a new one, if you can find a 2nd hand one, its worth it. If its too expensive buy a phone you like. There are 100's out there.
Thats my peace. Any comments?
