Its a good phone. If they had to add a higher capacity battery phone would have been even more thicker.

Afcourse this can be fixed with dark mode inside browsers

People want mobile cpu with power of desktop, 120/144Hz, screen brighter than the sun.
But with battery endurance of feature phones.
You can have power or larger battery endurance. This is why midranges and low ends last way more despite using chips of weaker litography like 7, 8 or 10nm.

Anonymous, 25 Aug 2021Samsung yet again cheapening out on cooling on their flagships It is almost as big as ipad mini.
Cooling should not be necessary considering larger body loses heat much easier.

No information about mi mix fold as an alternative. The only other foldable on 888.
And no, mate x2 was not a paper device, you can still buy it on the official site for the announced price. There are tens of thousands reviews there, people are actively buying it.
Very poor comparison

Josh V, 25 Aug 2021That large black bar when watching videos is a big No for me. Agreed, the square aspect ratio makes NO sense

Bigger the screen size, bigger the battery consumption.
Snapdragon 888 is also power hungry.
Overall battery endurance rating is good, only let down in numbers due to poor standby time

I'd rather see Samsung utilizing a much more useful front ultrawide camera instead of a much more useless front depth sensor.

Yikes, 75 hours of battery endurance rating? That is six hours less than last year's Z Fold2.

Coming from Z fold 2, i call this a huge disappointment!
My secondary phone is Poco F3 which costs just 25% of its price tag, also has 120hz and tops it with MEMC
I expected at least a 1B color panel from Sammy, but they sacrifice it and touch sample+sensitivity for the pen support.
So they srapped us and prefered Note users.
If Fold 2 only had one problem that was battery performance. Since it has the same screen i was hoping the 5nm chip would help it achieve better results, but it didn't and what's worse is that folded the endurance dropped from 115hours to 85h, which is a massive downgrade. Also they force us to pay more for a charger. speaking abour chargers, i have the 50w samsung and the phone charges way faster, i am sure that fold 3 with the smaller battery will do marginally better!
And the last nail to its coffin, the camera, i am not a photographer or Instagram model, but since they ask from us 2000euros, they ought at least to use their best cameras, at least the hardware, they used the same Fold 2 had.
Paying 2000 for the underscreen selfie is way too much!
