I’m not an Android guy, the last Android phone I had was running 4.0, since I’ve used iPhones over the years. Let me tell you, with the flexibility of the phone, not just literally, but systematically, the amount of choice and customization that can be attained by this device is simply incredible. I’ve never ever seen another phone that allows you to play a YouTube video in a panel, then have a stock trading app, and a news feed in two side by side panels… ALL at the same time on a screen that is more than generous with space.Then, simply close the screen, and you have a completely fresh front phone experience to make calls and use as a normal phone for GPS, Music stream, etc. All the whole your unfolded experience still persists when you’re ready to sit back down and return to your multiplane experience.Battery life is excellent, as with most phones, you need to debloat the software. It takes 10 minutes, and there are plenty of YT videos just for this phone to do it. With the tweaks and cleanup, you should expect at least 8 hours of screen on time. That said, I’ve never charged over 85% To preserve the battery, and never fully discharged the battery yet. So maybe closer to 10 hours if youre willing to go all out. Quite impressive, given the fact that like 90% of the phone is screens.Never have I ever had this level of flexibility and utility from a portable device. It’s made almost all my other devices including my laptop, essentially unused over the last week’s.Cameras are the best I’ve personally ever had in a smartphone, and you have a camera for each level of zoom. Fisheye, normal scene camera, then more of a close up selfie/macroesque camera. Software can zoom through all the lenses automatically. It’s VERY cool. I see people complaining about the camera as it’s not the one in the S21, I’d love to see that as much as anyone, but unless you’re solely getting this for the camera, it’s actually pretty great. I’ve attached a few photos I’ve taken to this review.Very, very impressed. Obviously, the phone isn’t cheap, but I’m a firm believer that the experience of this phone is actually worth FAR more than $1,700 if you can use it and adapt it to what you want.

It has been about a month with the fold 3 and it is my daily driver. The front screen is useful for a quick scan of incoming email/text/chat or open Google pay for buying something with tap to pay. I do wish the screen was a little wider so for not front screen use ability as well as increased real estate when open. The crease/fold is noticeable in certain conditions and not in others but you can definitely feel the dip while moving across the screen to scroll of type. The multiscreen is great for 3 apps for travel or other use cases. Overall happy with the hardware and software (though the one ui4.0 beta breaks Google play cert so some apps aren’t happy) foldable and rollable are definitely the future and this is a great step in this direction.

My husband and I were a little leary of buying these because, well, that’s a lot of money to drop on a phone. Especially with some of the reviews about the folding screen. I assume those must have been bad apples because we did not have those issues. Absolutely no regrets.

I returned the phone because discovered I don’t like a folding phone format.

Quick shipping and beautiful phone. Thank you
