SamsungGalaxy Z Fold3 5G Mobile Phone SIM Free Android Folding Smartphone 512GB Phantom Silver (UK Version)

I will start by saying my review may be a little bit biased as I am a BIG Samsung fan when it comes to mobiles and this phone reinforces the reasons why but I will try my very best to give an unbiased review.I have had the phone for just over a week now and can't say that I have tested it out to the max but based on my previous phones being Samsung. finding my way around was quite simple.First impressions when I removed the Amazon packaging was the actual Samsung packaging which was extremely sturdy, stylish and well fitting around the contents and although I know most people won't care about the packaging I just wanted to point out that it means it's well protected so you should have no problems due to damage in transit.Opening the box you find the phone laid out in its open position and sitting there eagerly awaiting to be picked up and explored.At this point I should point out that I have needed to replace my old Samsung Galaxy S9 for quite some time but have always been reluctant due to my world being stored on my old phone. Alexa, Internet banking, Blink security cameras to name just a few and was worried about how long it would take to swap everything from one phone to another, but I needn't have worried as there's an app for that too.From memory it took about 30 minutes to swap all apps from one phone to the other and the only updates I had to do manually was confirming passwords and the biometric security.The phone itself, although not the latest model as at the time of writing this review the Z fold 3 has been upgraded to the Z fold 4 but I didn't think the additional £600 required was necessary for my needs but that's your choice to make.I won't go into too much detail about what it can and can't do as there are plenty of YouTube reviews for that if you wish to check them out for yourself but I just want to summarised my thoughts here. with the positives and negatives (If there really are any negatives) here.PlusesThe quality and build of this phone are excellent,The display size when you open up the phone is amazing as it's almost like having a mini tablet.The fact that you can mirror the larger screen to the smaller front screen is impressive.The ease of set-up and transfer of apps, etc from old phone to new was perfectly simple to do.The fact that there is a crease down the centre of the screen when you open the phone really does not impact on the screen at all and unless you caught it in a cretain light or ran your finger across it meansyou don't even know it's there.NegativesThe fact that there is no USB to wall plug adapter in the box so will have to buy separately though these days most people have them stored away somewhere.This is not really a criticism but for me, holding the phone in its open position takes a while to get used to and quite often manage to close or open an app by accident whilst im holding it in my hand.OK that's me done. I hope my comments above help you decide in choosing this phone for your next purchase. Trust me, you won't regret it

It's a great bit of technology that provides a wow factor smartphones had previously lost. For the price, the camera's are average and you don't even get a charger. It isn't dust proof so particles can go behind the screen. The screens are awesome, and after awhile the crease doesn't stand out as much. The onboard cpu and ram are fantastic, they make the phone feel really fluid. I wouldn't recommend it unless you have the money or want something different while going in knowing the drawbacks or want to maximise your daily driver productivity. It's cool but not a must have.

I've been considering a Fold since they were announced but didn't feel confident enough to invest it what seemed like bleeding edge tech.With the 3rd generation I felt more confident and went for it. I'm never going back to a standard phone!!For productivity it is phenomenal. I no longer have to carry a tablet with me or wait to get back to a PC to read a PDF that's just been emailed over. I can do clearly read and annotate presentations and all the Microsoft office apps work well.Plus for entertainment the large screen is great!Game changer

I got this in an Amazon warehouse deal. It arrived looking brand new with no scratches or dents. I found if you open it up in tablet mode and are recharging, the phone won’t charge fast enough. The battery lasts around a day but the tablet mode does drain more battery. A7part from the battery this is a very solid all around phone.

I am not a professional just a normal user. It heats a lot, never had a phone that heats before. Battery life is poor ,always have to have a charger or power bank within reach. Double screen is not that great and rarely used. The phone itself is fragile so you are always careful not to drop it or get it touched or squeezed. You want a phone that works for you not you working for the phone.Update: The phone now has died completely and suddenly, send it 4 times to Samsung to repair, each time they come with an excuse not to even fix it.

This phone is a big step up on the fold 2. I'm really impressed. I've had it for nearly 1 month now and I've had no issues at all. The screen quality is great, the folding is smooth and easy, the camera is very good, there's lots of storage etc etc. Plus I get a lot of people asking about it and admiring it. Very happy with it so far.

Phone arrived quicker than advertised in perfect condition. Saved a little against Samsung's list price even after purchasing the S Pen Fold Edition and case from elsewhere. Can't complain.

Very intuitive and accessible. Great looking phone! I love the camera and the s pen art area.
