I’ve been playing about with the Z Fold 3 this morning, bought a refurbished 256GB version on behalf of a mate. £920 in pristine conditon from CEX. It was mint.
I have to say I’m really impressed. I was sceptical about the folding screen and the hinge in the screen annoyed me intensley for a while (Autism is such fun at times!), especially on a mostly white web page.
After a while I noticed that I got used to it and it was only a mild irritant on certain sites.
The main screen/s are brilliant for things like watching videos and reading books, you won’t get full screen on most videos because of the aspect ratios involved but it’s a healthy size boost over something like my S21 Ultra.
The stereo speakers are very good but I’m not an audiophlie so I’ll go no further than that.
The fingerprint sensor on the power button just works, unless your a bit heavy handed and squish it.
Being able to do something like watch a YouTube video on the top half of the main screen when it’s at 90 degrees to the bottom half and then do things like check the comments on the video without messing with the viseo playback is very handy. Lots of clever things you can do.
If the form factor works for you I’d recommend one, no problem at all. If the cameras were the same or better as my S21 Ultra i’d be after one as a Chromebook/phone replacement.
