These are in high demand! You cannot get one in any store here in the UK, sold out. And online, October 20th delivery on Three anyway. I guess it will only be later in the year that Samsung will be in full production.

Why are all of the 5G bands not listed for the S21 phone series!? I am sure the Galaxy S21 series and Fold 3/Flip 3 support C Band (nr78) and other NR bands like nr30, nr12 and possibly nr48. Apple's phones list all of their cell

Got to play with an offline Fold 3 (and Flip 3) in an O2 store here in the UK Saturday. Blown away by the screens. Very bright and shiny. Look like a glossy colour magazine photo! The phones were mounted in such away could could not fold the screen totally flat. But either way once you see a folding phone like these you’ll realise they are the future. My only wish is the outer screen on Fold 3 worked with the S-Pen too so you could make notes without having to open phone. And S-Pen stashed in phone. Anyway it’s now a toss up between a 5G 2021 iPad mini and Fold 3 as my next creativity and communication device. Decisions!

My Z Fold3 is an amazing piece of tech, I love it, no one says anything about how it feels to own one, it's nothing like I've ever imagined, I fall in love with it everyday, the screen and the size are my main attractions but the best of all is the performance and the battery life.
I think Apple will start copying Samsung now, honestly the only thing I'd hate is seeing crappy apple products copied from the great Samsung.

This phone is awesome. Crystal clear displays, great sound and of course the fun factor of folding and unfolding the device. Setting it up like a laptop is very fun and productive as well. Why not text and watch YouTube at the same time ;).

I bought both my wife and I a Z-Fold 3. This is a very good phone. It is fast and is a very sturdy build. The screens are crystal clear and sharp. The sound is great. The only issue we have both had, everyone wants to see it.

Individualize the requirement and preferences with possible long term perspective. And then one should buy any gadget. You are happy for your decision and I am happy for mine.
I am bit scared about Chinese company as, just like google they are also having controls and apps that pick your data and hackable primary apps from company themselves.
I know at the end of day, all are same. Only thing, it is personal decision to trust whom.

NeoGul, 12 Sep 2021"Smart Eye" technology has been on very cheap TCL... moreyes, and the other example I gave (; apple implementing displaymate editors' recommendation for front and rear cameras to correctly white balance), I believe has been implemented in recent Samsung devices as well.
the example of 'smart eye', you may note- I did NOT say was a Samsung exclusive, just that I acknowledge the ways in which phones chew threw batteries is 'ever evolving' (and NOT the same on all devices)..
but I wouldnt let the notion of 'generations' creep into the argument.
so I do not know enough about the harmony OS- I see some mentioning no 'play store' support (which makes sense at a couple of levels); so many of my purchases wouldnt be usable on the alternative OS device..
this is like the windowsCE vs palmOS / SymbianOS arguments where people often stuck to one ecosystem (familiarity AND utility), and Microsoft took themselves out of the market when win phoneOS7+ dropped all support to win phoneCE 6 and below....
many tens of thousands of apps simply became unusable/unsupported..
now if someone gives me a backdoor guide for how to reimplement play store software (not via the playstore) as a business owner who moght have security requirements on my device, that would not interest ME in the slightest.
as a child wanting my phone to be a toy/entertainment device, my music player of choice for 'on the fly DSD conversion' (onkyo HF player), requires an unlocking code..
I might be able to get this presently 2+years out of date/unsupported software to work using 'other methods' but the time investment to use a new platform is significant and many will not consider it..
(like when everyone states that using macOS is too difficult, I find I have never once had to look up a guide even if I am totally unfamiliar with the product, where as -as a thirty odd year IT veteran, it took me two weeks of reading lots of guides to get a grasp on how to use iOS.
I like alternative Operating Systems.
I support a market with choices.
As for why NeoGul gets crazy different battery runtimes between android and harmony devices is no doubt in part to setup, that they state 'they shouldnt have to touch', so perhaps we need to tell the tech companies whether we want 'all the fruity features' turned On by default (or Off by default)..
For those scared of config menus and setting up a device, makes sense to leave everything On for them, knowing that those who can navigate the 'Cog' menu, can ultimately deactivate many of the value adding features.
If we are arguing which large heavy phone has the lowest battery draining 'out of box state' (possibly due to lack of innovative software options or a fully rounded included software package), then I have learned from NeoGul that the Mi mix fold is an option to consider (and that it runs a 'non google' harmony OS).
if NeoGul was to want to contribute to this conversation in a more objective way we might even be able to learn whether the antennas in one device are having to push more power (out the back of the phone mostly, in Samsungs designs), or whether the two way antenna as used by EVERY OTHER HARDWARE DEVICE is allowing the alternative Phablet an easier time (less power to antenna) to communicate the constant data that this user is using...
I think Samsung are a horribly mislead tech co who are the masers of spec sheet manipuation. (horrible due to standard consumer practices of pushing consumers forward and ceasing security updates needlessly on platforms as they run out of contract time).
I wouldnt buy any of their products in general as I vote with my wallet.
reality is, as a parent, my devices will wind up in the hands of my children,.. the lowest SAR devices are typically Samsung and so that makes them a contender for my communications products.
I have little interest to go to bat for multinational corporations (without remuneration); that doesnt cease the Fold series being a varied Android experience that some/many will absolutely love.
They are certainly not for everyone, mostly due to lack of ruggedness that most phones (since the Note7) have been built towards (ie less physical buttons/things that can go wrong), and with the Fold3 getting an Ingress protection rating, and the nicer tactile inner screen, the products are evolving towards users expectations.
once I had a Note, for productivity I couldnt imagine being without spen support..
for many users the discussion (/debate) ends there..
the cusom samsung apps and spen support is enough for many users to have a full experience.
the Notes app (samsung) is fantastic and 'out of box' allows pdf markup and all sorts of benefits, and a truly secure platform where a user can have fingerprint unlock for private files.
when I was a security officer a few years back, having all my pincodes 'on me' and on a trusted platform (mostly chinese apartment blocks), I ran out and bought a Note device (lowest SAR/spen/knox).
The Fold is a superlative experience
As YoGabbaGabba says "try it, you 'might like it'!"
