Thank you for a Great Video. You answered all of my questions regarding a Z Fold 3 for 2023. I picked up a refurbished one from Ebay at a great price with 512 gigs and unlocked, with the unit in near perfect condition ( no scratches, screen protectors in new condtion and it works just great. It updated to 13 ui5.1. the price was so good , so i also purchased the stylists Pro also at a great price, and a very nice rugged orange case which holds the regular Samsung stylists in the hinge protector which i also puchased. i use my S22 ultra as my daly driver and my z fold as my backup and home tablet after putting a small phone plan on the phone. THANK YOU AGAING FOR A GREAT VIDEO.

Made my day with this comment. Thanks very much Anthony. That's the perfect use case I feel in using it as a home device/secondary unit. Enjoy your Fold 3!

My Fold 3 is 18 months old. It's still faultless. Granted, I'm careful with it and it's cased up to the max. No scrapes, scratches, no dead pixels, been using the inner screen without a screen protector since the protector started to peel about 6 months ago. Outer screen narrowness makes is genuinely use able with one hand.

Given that most people really wouldn't notice the difference from the top of one gen to the top of the newest gen....going one generation back makes a lot of sense....Until batteries are vastly improved, latest gen vs the one behind it aren't really much different. Great video mate!

Thanks man. The Fold 4 really is a nice step in the right direction. It's solid. The 3 wasn't quite there.
@mattp.6660 Жыл бұрын
I agree. Ah, also, you can fix that instagram issue in the settings and set it to full screen. In that respect I think Samsung does the best with full screen views with the inside screen.
@GroundedTech Жыл бұрын
Is that to do with forcing it to go full screen in developer options or something else? Samsung definitely have the best software for foldables right now. They'll likely be ahead for a while. Thanks Matt!

Explained very well I would side with getting a Tab S8 it also takes Dex mode to the next level to not needing a display, the whole tablet becomes a desktop like UI, but then ig you can can wait for the Fold 4 to be cheaper since it's a much more mature version of the Fold 3 Btw I just noticed you have a Grounded Tech branded hat, nice

Just bought a (mint) Fold 3 today Build quality is awesome Love it, just need to explore what more but as you mentioned, build as a tank. It's not the perfect phone, but I can live with it, needs some adaption but definitely a real nice one Finally, you get a screen of almost 2 phones ! I prefer it horizontal, speakers sound better and the crease seems for me less noticeable ...

Are the gaming ui problems fixed on the fold 4? Or is it simply just a format problem with the fold series in general?
@GroundedTech Жыл бұрын
Basically that. It depends on the game though. Mobile Legends was great to play. Some games just simply aren't optimised properly per device so you sometimes get these inconsistencies. It'll keep improving though especially as we now have more foldables hitting the market. Cheers Skyhart.
@kakashi99908 Жыл бұрын
I see the argument of needing a different phone to use daily but at that point you might as well just get a tablet instead of a fold as your second android device. I think the people who can buy a used fold 3 and make it work as their daily got a steal. For me that narrow screen is the biggest drawback I probably wouldn't care much if it was just removed completely😂 .
@GroundedTech Жыл бұрын
Yep. I mention that in the video towards the end. Agree if people can make it work then it's a crazy deal. Got Fold 4's going for £700 now too. Mad. It's actually nice to use as well. Cheers Duck.

An iPhone won't have a foldable screen though so I think it's unfair to compare. If you went for something like an S23+ or the S23 Ultra I think you'd be much happier and wouldn't have to worry about the hinge or screen failures.

@GroundedTech 10 ай бұрын
That's a good perspective. I use an Xperia as my main phone which is also quite narrow. Don't think it's necessarily bad but the Fold 3 being a touch wider would have been nice. The Fold 5 is though I think. Thanks Erica for your input.

@Richard Marquez about the same time frame as mine. Then a couple of months ago, it got real hot and just stopped working. They guarantee the phone, right? So they sent me a refurbished one but when they received my old one, they charged me $300 because of the condition of the old one. (Well, I guess that was Verizon, not Samsung.) Going back k to the Galaxy Note and a different carrier when my contract is up.
