Perhaps surprisingly, it didn't snap, or crack - nothing really happened.

Akarius, 10 Aug 2023Let me ask you - are you changing $2k phone every year?Every 3 years for me. I expect my Fold 3 to last another 12 months hopefully

    Akarius, 10 Aug 2023Let me ask you - are you changing $2k phone every year?What it have to do with a fact Samsung improved absolutely nothing apart the prce???
    And yes i had my Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G for exactly 25 years from my network carrier and when i paid for my device i bought Motorola Edge 40 pro which now i have for exactly 3 weeks and 2 days.
    So yes in most cases i swap my phones every 2 years because i try to sell my older device for a good price as long as it have some value.

        PorkHotdog, 10 Aug 2023Everybody keeps blaming Samsung for having little improveme... moreEven Zac said its same as previous year and he repeated that many times so in other words more expensive but no improvements.
        I dont blame Samsung because i have nothing else to do i put a valid reason confirmed by Zac.
        And honestly giving only a bit better CPU and GPU is not enough to justify the pricing Samsung asking for.
        Competition making whole new device way better than last year with plenty of improvements and still asking less than Samsung which did nothing just slap new CPU and GPU false memory slot and spend billions in advertising to sell exactly same thing a Fold 4 for 20% price increase,
        No thanks.
        Enough is Enough.
        It only proves people buy even an Elephant dong is a Samsung logo is on it.

          Just my honest opinion.
          When comes to phone tests i value Zac Nelson opiniones and tests over anything else.

            Honor Magic5 Pro and Honor Magic5 Ultimate also use Kunlun glass for the displays. Honor still on good terms with Huawei after them previously splitting away from each other.

                Good to hear. Not sure why anyone would keep a phone that costs 2k in back pocket and sit on it, but I guess people are different lol.

                2nd day with mine now. Quite conflicted thoughts. At the same time it's really good where it shines, but then it has some major downfalls for a 2k phone. Although most of them revolve around the cover display for me. But I'll use it for a few months at least so I guess it remains to be seen if I get used to it. I'll try not to break and bend it though, as I'm likely not keeping it :D

                  Now if only it would bend normally without a crease, and without bending the wallet...

                    Once again with this years FLIP and FOLD both smashing it in folding and durability tests compared to others, this is why you buy Samsung and not any other Android OEM. More reliable and the flip and fold UI features are top notch. Samsung haters can keep on hating

                      PepperPot, 10 Aug 2023It's 9:00 pm where I am and you guys posted another po... moreLol, but you're right.

                        Everybody keeps blaming Samsung for having little improvements compared to the competition but their foldables are just on another level

                          Well, I don't mind not having SD card support, but it's misleading that Samsung puts in a dummy 'SD card slot'. At least remove that so people won't be misled into wasting money for SD card.

                            This is all due to the fact Samsung has been in the foldable business more than anyone else. So it's makes a lot of sense how their foldables are more durable than the competition

                              It's 9:00 pm where I am and you guys posted another positive article about the Z. You should have saved this for the morning. It's gonna keep the haters up all night which means they're gonna be even more cranky tomorrow.

                                He didn't test Kunlun Glass Huawei Mate 50 Pro even though he was repeatedly asked to do so by his followers filling his comment sections even though he used to test every flagship including previous Huawei. He did not test, Mate 50 Pro,not only because it was superior against fall and scratches compared to Samsung Galaxy and Apple iPhone, but also , because he received money from Corning, maker of Gorilla Glass to do so in order to not expose strength of Kunlun Glass and inferiority of their product along with Samsung and Apple phones, as it came out in forums with email exchanges.
                                To support this argument ,please watch this comparison of Huawei, Samsung and Apple products in various drop test made by a reviewer in YouTube, at the end of which Huawei comes out without even a scratch or crack:
