One you enjoy in real life, every day, the other no one sees the difference with on your Facebook feed.

          Regarding your failed trlll, let's compare that to their direct competitors, the Flip3. I have the Flip3 and the S21U. I NEVER use my Ultra since I got the Flip3 because the difference in comfort and convenience is like comparing different ball games. Flipping a phone to make it half height in your pocket wins by knockout in a game where that isn't even an option.

            AnonD-762416, 21 Oct 2021It is next level and it looks like the industry might be fo... moreQuite contradictory to dimensions then, phone with hump is still way thinner than folding one. I'm also for better looks and connection, but it got to be worthy alternative or upgrade in performance.

They're ugly. They're impractical and they make the phones more annoying to handle. So, good riddance humps. I prefer a well build smartphone over synthetically measurable improvements on specific camera benchmarks.

Point is this is supposed to be nxt lvl, but you miss the jack and cameras, wonder whats the point then, those 2 are basically the main features I use.

                  I wouldn't know. My Fold3's inside screen failed 2 weeks ago, and I am still awaiting for it to be prepared. Samsung would not even replace a 2 week old device

It's meant to be the opposite of an ultra phone. Samsung clearly directs this phone to people not being "power users" - just look at the advertisements, the offered colours, the offered special edition accesoires, the subreddit.

                    Also: Samsung never did hide the battery capacity in the first place, why do you assume customers didnt know about the screen on time?

                    I own this thing and YES it is not a great phone, but that has barely anything to do with battery or camera but mostly with the folding mechanism and it being Samsung (the UI is just horrible imho).

                          So glad i sold this gimmick quickly after realizing its lasting 5hrs. Who need all this fuss if the phone barely last half day on easy use?!

                            vrvly, 18 Oct 2021Attaching Sony QX30 would be best improvement. Unlike matex... moreThey aim for a great user experience, hence the flush camera. Camera humps are so 2020.

                              You can adjust the brightness in the cover display. Just swipe down from the top where it shows the time and date.

                              Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is my favorite device ever. I did not like it the first few days I had it. But by Week 3, I was in love. It's my go-to device to play emulators and stream Netflix thanks to Flex. Any time I'm in the mood for NBA Street Vol. 2 (GameCube), I grab my Flip 3 and I'm ready to go. It makes a great Surface Duo mini. Great companion device and multimedia player.

                              My Motorola Razr 5G has my sim and is better to watch downloaded movies since the cover display is bigger and has more storage. For music, Flip 3 wins because for some reason on my Razr 5G, my AirPods 2 cut off if I move the Razr a lot when holding it. Flip 3 has less flaws and has features like wireless charging which is why I prefer it.

                                I could not find any articles regarding the new update. And the link here at the bottom takes to a 404 page.

                                  The Fold and Flip I likeee. :)

                                    Attaching Sony QX30 would be best improvement. Unlike matex2 they don't seem to aim for the best camera performance.
