Poor battey, ultra slow charge... Need to charge battery 2 times per day and charging time takes 1h 50m from 1% to 100%, poor main camera, selfie camera cant recognize my face to unlock the phone...this is 1100 eur phone, i am very disappointed, my oldie Huawei p30 pro was much better: 2.5 y.o. phone - 1 charge 1.5 day, face id at night - no problem. charge time 40 min 1%-100%. 500 eur phone 2 times better than 1100 eur phone. Disappointment!

joe nodden, 25 Aug 2021> "bigger outer display" > *proceeds to wh... moreYep you completely misunderstood me, as expected. The Flip 3's display is good for displaying notifications and taking selfies without having to open the phone, which the original Flip's tiny screen sucked at. You can actually fit text messages on the Flip 3's because the screen is bigger than most smartwatches. However, 1.9" is still horrible for video calls, and when you add more than two people to the call, they'll be occupying CENTIMETERS of space on the screen. You really need to stop with the blind hate posts, they accomplish nothing but make you look like a moron.

I just got the Z Flip 3 a few days ago, I knew battery was a sacrifice and didn't expect much. I sent my phone back after 2 days of usage. Here's why:
When I first turned the phone on, during boot up I noticed the phone got incredibly hot. This was by far the biggest issue, and it's not the bottom half of the phone where you hold, it's the top part.
The phone got hot wirelessly charging, something I've never come across on any phone I've had before. It also stayed warm even if the phone wasn't being used.
The battery: I took it off charge, it was 100% didn't use it for anything, I went for a 40 minute drive I then looked at the phone and the too half of the phone was absolutely boiling.
I then noticed it lost 11% battery while not being used. On the second day, I noticed the physical volume buttons became spongey. Like they were broken. I powered the phone off because I wanted to send it back, I came back couple hours later, the physical buttons were clickly once more. I thought maybe I was imagining things. About 10 minutes of the phone being on, the volume buttons went spongey again. So from my experience the heat is doing something to the physical buttons, when the buttons got like this they were randomly turning the volume up and down.
The battery example I got with hardly any use in those 2 days, I went from 100% to 24% in 4 hours 35mins. That's with hardly using the phone. That is also with just 60hz screen, also with brightness at around 50% and also on screen off...
I didn't use the phone for majority of that time and it still drained while the phone wasn't used.
I can also see why they couldn't get this phone a dust rating. It attracts dust like no other phone I've seen, and I'm talking that main display, everytime I was opening the flip it had dust all over it, so it must be something to do with materials.
Another thing I noticed the screen to the left of the camera on the main screen was starting to warp slightly, probably because of the heat.
I thought maybe these were issues with just my phone, maybe a bad egg. But I got it exchanged and had the same thing with heat issues.

Battery protection on this is great. Doesn't charge beyond 85%. Practicing the 20-80% or 40-80% works. You can extend the battery life by about three times. From 500 charges going from 1-100% to 1500 going from 20-80%.
My Pixel 3's battery benefitted the most from this and no noticeable battery degradation. Flip 3 doesn't charge very fast but that's also a good thing. Fast charging generates too much heat. Samsung just needs to improve the functionality of the cover display through software updates.

Im kinda bummed out as Ive not potential shipping dates noted and theyve already pushed back the shipping on Galaxy Buds 2 twice now. My Flip 3 is the Exclusive White color version so perhaps will take a few weeks more from the looks of it. I'm anxious to see some Real pictures of these so called Exclusive colors that no one seemed to have gotten a hold of yet.

Pre Ordered my Flip 3 back on 15th (Here in US) but so far no date has been mentioned of when the phone will ship. Ive seen all reports that orders are getting delayed but are there folks in the US who preordered the phone and got the device?

166 mm tall
72 mm wide
183 g heavy
I use a case that adds even more dimensions especially in thickness. After using a foldable for a day, I'm now questioning their usefulness. The crease bothers me a lot more than I expected. Next is it's added dimensions. It's a chunky phone.

If price is 1000€ and there is no exynos ,it will be very good and very unexpected from Samsung because it overprices it's phones more than apple now
The only problem is the 3300 batterie with 120hz wich will be complete trash

But: What for the outer screen if you can't use it for WA etc.? You HAVE to open the phone :(
Pro: Good condition from Samsung-promotion to sell-in my S20 FE 5G for nearly same price I paid last year.
Gorilla Glass 6 is fine against falling from height - weaker to scratches.
eSIM is supported - so TWO providers possible.
Cam seems to be nice - I don't need 6 extra-special-wide don't know what...
If you take a cover it will be thicker - so NO cover and next year another promotion with scratched body ;)

Most people don't want huge brick in their pockets, that's why foldables are appealing.

And of course reducing the internal storage to half. Bravo sampple.....
And a battery bump would have been dramatically more meaningful than shaving off tiny hairs of size that physically won't be noticed by anyone.... except for finding out it won't fit properly in an existing case that is🙄🙄😒😒 yes duh camera cut out. Not the point.
