Hey Chaps - If you're not sold on the Fold 3... what COULD Samsung do to convince you to buy the Fold 4?

Update: I am aware of Labs for aspect ratios, I tried it, but in IG for example it still cuts off stories. So only a partial fix

There is no perfect phone. It is all about personal preferences.

The only thing that the S 21 Ultra has is the Camera. I don't need a Camera that bad. The Entertainment in the Z Fold 3 is too Great for me to ever go back to a Boring smaller Candy bar phone.

I literally haven't got excited about a phone for years, the fold 3 is the first phone in a long time to get me interested. The upgrades in recent years have been underwhelming to say the least.

I switched from the s21 ultra to the z fold 3 and have zero regrets. I love this phone! I was worried about battery life but it's the same as my s21 ultra.

I guess you are entitled to your own opinion. I can get more work done on my fold 3. I don’t need a tablet now. I waited the third generation to take the plunge. most normal users just need the flip … fashion/ skinny jeans etc

[mrkring]

Leaving S21U for fold 3.. It's not all about the camera!!

[jayb]

I love my fold 3. The cover screen is actually my favorite. I'm coming from the s21 ultra and I'm so glad I switched. My s21 ultra was always uncomfortably hot and no one mentions this.

[mstechboss]

It's your opinion but I'd rather have a phone that I can unfold when I want an immersive experience than just a phone like everyone's else's and I can get more done on without having to lug a laptop or tablet along

[rkymtnchi]

I don't even use my S21 Ultra due to my Fold 2 being so much more fun...so I'll be switching for the both of us lol

[Thesasquatch]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion I guess. I love my Fold 2 as I did my Fold 1 too. Can't wait to get my hands on the Fold 3, already excited for where we go from here. To me, it's the perfect phone.

[jeffreymorris]

Wrong side of history. The future is folding, either to make a device more convenient or more immersive. And I'm not a tech guy. Lol

[gadgetsawol]

Nice overview ! I have my preorder coming in a few days, switching from the Note 10 Ultra which has been my primary driver for over 2 years now. It'll be my first foray into the flip ecosystem, so I'll see how well ergonomically it will be, curious to see if I feel the same thing about me wanting to flip back to the Note due to its smaller size/lighter weight. But I can tell you im already drooling over having a much larger screen for youtube, instagram, onenote, gaming etc !

[denimarc]

both phones have their own advantages and disadvantages, choose as needed...and I think The S21 Ultra is better, more comfortable when we use one-handed mode

[akrav]

I'm still using a Galaxy s10+, and I think the only phone that would get me to part with the sd card and headphone jack is the 512 gig Fold 3. It's the only phone that truly brings something new to the glass brick phone market of today. I'll wait untill the prices come down though.

[selwnk]

You can make the Instagram full screen in the Lab section of the settings in the Z Fold 3 🤦‍♂️

Hi.
I ordered my fold a few days ago. Have been using their note devices for a long, long time, but have been following the development of foldable screens.

I am a big fan of the note, but With the 3 being compatible with the s-pen, made the fold 3 a very interesting option - thanks mainly to the extra real estate it brings to the party.

A foldable note phone would be a very good option!

[marcosv]

Personally, I prefer the Z Fold 3 over the S21 Ultra *because* when folded the phone is narrower than the S21 Ultra slab. I have smaller hands and have a greater probability of dropping the S21 Ultra when forced to use it one-handed --- just like I have done with every Note phone I have ever owned. As I get older, I appreciate the larger screen. I also can't handhold the S21 Ultra steady enough to appreciate its telephoto zoom or high pixel standard camera --- without using a tripod or some other external stabilization. I rather switch over to my mirrorless cameras, and so I find the Z Fold 2's cameras to be just fine.

As for the UDC, I guess Samsung should have an option to always have it turned off to avoid complaints that it doesn't hide the punch hole well enough when enabled.

Also, it is interesting to see just how thick the S21 Ultra is compared to an unfolded Z Fold as well as in its folded state. Z Fold balances so well in my hand when unfolded.

[NeilHawke]

Amazing, this is just what I am after. Have the S21 Ultra and considering the move to the Fold 3

[jayeshpadake]

I totally totally relate with your views that though Fold is totally awesome in sense of design only but in practicality S21 Ultra is the best choice with better specs anyday
