Don't buy Fold 3, I bought and after 13 months the sound gone while unfold the phone. It was a manufacturing defect or they have sent some bugs while software update. Need Rs. 55000 to repair. So I am not using Samsung anymore....

Have had mine for a month now. Ok, not so long but long enough to impress! First feelings about my new friend were that he's a bit chunky & heavy compared with my previous single screen phone. Bit fiddly, opening the fold out while the case & pen in place, as the layers are then slightly offset against each other. ( Nearly broke a nail ;-)) Since then, he ain't heavy - he's my brother! Love the fold out to small tablet screen. No probs viewing with the very slight grey line down the middle. Love the pen feature for quick note taking - much better than typing - and great for capturing design ideas in the moment they come to you. Pen colour palette could be extended?? Battery life and charging, not an issue so far. I have a fast charge adapter - love that the phone tells me how long until fully charged, so I can take it off as soon as. . Also, I purchased a couple of packs of Newzerol screen protector kits in case of future screen lifting issues, so I have no complaints thus far!
Hope you find this review a little more useful that comments like "get a Huawei" duhhh!! 🤦

That should the essence and hallmark of a vertical fold phone ie to be used as a nice handy Tab and take over the functions of a Tab in unfolded form. More sliming needs to be done , more Ram and editing softwares of a Tab requirements would definitely put this form into a coveted segment.

Like the phone except for the fact the motherboard died in less than 6 months of use. Overheated and froze and all Samsung service could do is leave me without a phone for over a week while they fixed it. A replacement would have been the decent thing to do but then Samsung customer service is horrendous.

I have had this phone for 8 months and my screen is split down middle. It's crap for a $2500 phone....... phone works fine, but a disappointment

My Fold 3 5G lasted for six months before I traded it for the S22 Ultra 5G.
One of my biggest complaints is the poor modem connectivity and the battery drain that goes along with it. I always used LTE on the Fold as wasn't as good as 5G on my iPhone.
The Z series will quickly become the standard to which all other devices will be compared.

Hi, just a feedback sharing. I have been using Fold 1 and Fold 2 for the past 1.5 years....and basically 2 years for the fold-1.
I have to speak frankly that I didn't encounter any of it...maybe at the moment..
But what I can only share some opinions, is that it might be cause by excessive hard closing of the Fold screen.......I definitely close with very cautious and gently......but so far after 2 years for the fold-1....there is no issue at moment....thanks

Under most circumstances I do not notice the crease but recently I feel like the crease has been screaming at me when I watch movies on the train during my commute. It's not the dip. It's the light reflecting off the curve. I only notice this on the train.
Samsung might want to consider using a less reflective screen protector. The Oppo N does not have this issue.

Took my Fold 3 out to use yesterday and by 6pm I was wanting to go back to my Pixel 6 Pro. That crease is very annoying and the screen is very reflective making the crease much much worse. It's a very bad screen to watch movies on.
