So much money for such a bad product. 75 hours battery... Rip off! And you never know when that inner screen will break. Knowing how their warranty suck, I will recommend everybody to avoids this. Samsung is on the way down; it is clear now…

That large black bar when watching videos is a big No for me.

Snapdragon 888 is a curse just like 810 was.
It would be better if smartphone manufacturers would skip it and got 1 tier below.
Really the next SD must solve this thermal issue, it's starting to get ridiculous, not to mention that above the thermal issues the battery life of phones is sustainably worse with this gen because of it.

I'd like to think manufacturers will realize from sales of what the market will bear.
I currently have no use for a folding smartphone or the just sub $2000 they cost.
I do appreciate the innovation, it's just not for me. Good Job Samsung! Really!

2000 euro phone doesn't come with a charger or headphones lol, smaller battery, same cameras, etc. Fold 2 looks better and better

Mate X2 are still the best when it comes to clean folding technique & near to none crease when open. Along with its high quality camera.
The rest are better on the Z Fold3. No two words about it lol 😂

OG Fold user here. I like the OG WAY more than the Fold2 or Fold3. The newer versions are just too awkward to use compared to the more compact form factor of the OG.

You are seeing a live preview from the under-display camera. The phone is just rotated, so that it sits on its "left" half. This is kind of the default setup for things like conference calls.

I guess the battery is Small, with such a big screen, I think we have to charge it 3 times a day

@GSMArena, I'm surprised that you didn't mention with even a single word in your Camera section the auto-framing feature, something that not even my s21 ultra supports. Jonathan Casey did https://youtu.be/SYWhUlF12pI?t=1341 and it seems really interesting.

Andre , 25 Aug 2021If we do the math? Really? :).. If you do the math, you... moreoh sorry i didn't know people here are not rich. Ooops don't get mad, i'm just kidding. I just love new tech and Im a nerd so i dont spend my money on anything else cause im single and i dont have a social life.
I only mentioned where Im at because from what i understand, freebies and offers vary based on locations and carriers, and I only said S21ultra just as an example - samsung website and other retailers here accept phones from huawei, apple, oppo, and xiaomi for swapping - you can even swap upto 3 old mobiles (devices, really, cause they accept tabs and watches too) if you have a lot of old phones sleeping at your house. So if you really want the new fold, then it can be get for a lot less than the announced retail price.

"while also technically cheaper and with that, still the best foldable around. "

Only 5 cameras this time, first fold had 6!
Still form factor of outfolding Huawei mate X is far better than this.
Under display camera is worst of two worlds - easily visible, and bad photo quality.

pralea, 24 Aug 2021This is way too overhyped and overpriced. Honestly gsmarena... moreRead it, it is the best foldable. Not a smartphone overall. You got confused.

How the 2nd photo is possible (the page where the camera review starts). The phone is rested on a desk in laptop style where I see a self preview of the reviewer and the camera man shows up. I thought there is only one (hidden) camera inside the phone which is in the middle of the right side screen. Am I seeing a camera live view or a photo taken already and it shows it. I can see the camera interface in the second screen.
