    Just picked up a refurbished Fold 2 from Amazon at a good price. The differences between 2 and 3 weren’t enough to justify the $800.00 difference.

    0:20 there is no 8K recording on Z Fold 3…
    You can’t recording 8K on 12mpx camera.
    But all three suport 8K video playing.

    I already have mine pre-ordered. I love my galaxy note 20 Ultra but I thought I would try something new.

      You might as well get ready to sell that note. It’s going to collect a lot of dust once that fold comes in. It’s definitely not going to get the attention it use to get.

    I will stick with my z fold 2

    Maybe when the front screen doesn’t look like that and the cameras are better. I really hope the rumors about Samsung removing the 108mp sensors from the s ultra series are not true, that’s the whole reason I got mine instead of the iPhone and I love it.

    TO ALL who pre-ordered the fold 3, I have one question. . . . . . . . what color did you get?

    • Cubiquidis

      August 14, 2021 at 10:36 pm

      @Stan Prosper It kind of looks a bit pink to me 😂. I dig it though

    • goodtyme

      August 14, 2021 at 11:19 pm

      i havent pre ordered it but the white color loos sooooooo goood

    • Cubiquidis

      August 14, 2021 at 11:27 pm

      @goodtyme I normally do white but it looks kinda pink 😂. either way sounds like a pretty “goodtyme” though

    • Najeeb Church

      August 15, 2021 at 12:41 am

      I wanted to the green but it’s sold out. People are going crazy for the color however. I’ll never turn down a matte black. Now I’m just waiting on best buy to let me know when I can pick my phone up lol

    • Cubiquidis

      August 15, 2021 at 1:25 am

      @Najeeb Church I’m one of the people that took that color from you if it’s out my friend 😂. I went to Samsung just now though and they still have them there if you want it. But you can’t go wrong w/ matte black either.

    upgrading from note 20 ultra to fold 3 need bigger screen.

  18. Ernest Lee Dunbar

    August 14, 2021 at 10:04 pm

    Over can we get a comparison to the note 10+ and 20 ultra to the fold 3

  19. john hazley

    August 14, 2021 at 11:21 pm

    I already have the first generation fold but I’m definitely getting the z fold 3

  20. gtone339

    August 14, 2021 at 11:25 pm

    Good revised models always gets the issues fixed! Price is slowly going down! Will see if it hits the regular flagship price-tag!

    This is exactly what I needed to see if I should upgrade from my Fold 2 or not. Ty

    • J. S.

      August 15, 2021 at 3:54 am

      No, don’t upgrade. A lot of the videos and articles you’re seeing right now are paid by Samsung. There is literally minuscule difference between 2 and 3.

      Yea they no tell you the negative like how udc pictures suck

    Still waiting for a real folding phone that is the normal phone size when open and half as small when closed so it fits in my pocket better.

      Well that is the flip my friend

    Man.. from a simple phone to brick size to tablet size wow and now foldable. These are good phones and I’m sure it comes in handy.. personally, im not about to pay more than 1000 for a phone

    Don’t believe anything that comes out of this guy’s mouth. He’s biased against Android. Apple sheep over here.

    A loyal Galaxy Note series user for the past 9 years, and finally jumping to the Fold train. Pre-ordered 512GB variant. Can’t wait for mine!

    Gonna try Samsungs “try before you buy” offer

    Hope I end up hating it because honestly it’s still too expensive

  32. Jon Keener

    August 15, 2021 at 4:09 am

    I ordered me a Z FOLD 3!!

  33. Diglett dig

    August 15, 2021 at 4:59 am

    YOU CAN TRY ITTTTTT

  34. Mark Seah

    August 15, 2021 at 7:20 am

    other than showing off the price tag to people, what occasions / situations do you need this device, that other Samsung devices etc cant fit in?

  35. Jon B.

    August 15, 2021 at 7:43 am

    Getting it in black since that’s the only color offered for the 512GB variant

  36. Arfa Ali

    Ayy iyaz, you’re one good lookin man 🐻
    For dinner may I have ya?

    Btw I wonder about the battery life of it, whether it is comparable with the latest ROG Phone 5 Pro . Still waiting for the ROG Phone 5 Pro/Ultimate came down to US, or they’ll ever be… Or I’ll just get this I guess…

  38. Benedikt Wagner

    August 15, 2021 at 12:55 pm

    Fold 1 had a side mounted fingerprint reader 🙂

  39. Sal

    August 15, 2021 at 12:57 pm

    Prefer the flip 3 but it’s too chunky

  40. Tom W

    August 15, 2021 at 2:54 pm

  41. Chicago Chatbots

    August 15, 2021 at 7:01 pm

  42. MyFamily

  43. Twisted Mental

    I just wish they would bring back the note.

    The Z fold 3 looks great but not enough to upgrade I will stick with my Z fold 2

  45. Sydney MotoVlog

    August 16, 2021 at 1:22 am

    Looks great however $2700 Aud is way too expensive 🙁

  46. mslataprada1

    August 16, 2021 at 5:22 am

    not paying $1,799 for no phone

  47. EinReiseTagebuch

    August 16, 2021 at 2:41 pm

    Can please someone ask Samsung, why they don’t use a modern Camera in the Fold 3?

  48. doppeltegenkidama

    August 16, 2021 at 7:40 pm

    i own the fold 2 and think its not worth upgrade.
