Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 512GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
4.0/5
Verdict
I think that using the Z Fold3 as a daily driver can enhance your productivity and entertainment-based usage, especially if you spend a lot of time on the move. That large screen does help quite a bit, plus the fact that it`s one device effectively doing the job of two. And even if you don`t move out as much and end up spending most of your time indoors, the Fold3 can prove to be a useful companion, since you`d have most of your daily use apps logged in on one device and don`t have to juggle bet
Pros
- Sturdy and water-resistant build
- Smooth performance and good cameras
- Under-display camera makes viewing immersive
- Useful software features
Cons
- Heavy and bulky
- Cover screen feels cramped
- Still needs to handled carefully
- Pricey
So what's new?
+
The key, my friend, is the spit and polish. The refinement. The tweaks. Attention to detail. The improvements that make it not just faster, better, more capable than before, but also more usable. And these come in various forms.

How well does it handle the basics?
+
All that is fine and dandy, but how is the Fold3 as far as the core aspects of a smartphone are concerned? Well, that 7.6-inch AMOLED display is gorgeous, offering 1,768 x 2,208 pixel resolution, up to 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support. The 6.2-inch Cover screen is no less capable, being a 120Hz AMOLED panel too. Its 25:9 aspect ratio however, makes the Cover screen quite narrow, and less than ideal for many apps. While it's fine for handling calls, checking messages etc, it does feel quite cramped for most other tasks. Talking about pure performance, thanks to the Snapdragon 888 SoC inside, 12 gigs of RAM, and up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage, overall usage is quite zippy regardless of whatever you might want to use the device for.

What are the concerns while using such a device?
+
Using a device like the Z Fold3 can pose a few challenges, so let's also consider a few not-so-great aspects related to practical, daily usage.
Read More
What about long-term usage?
+
By now, I hope I have been able to give you a fair idea about how well the Z Fold3 works, what it can do for you, and the niggles you should be prepared for, if you consider buying this device. However, for getting a little more context around the long-term usage of foldable smartphones, I turned to two of my industry friends, both of whom are proud owners of the Z Fold3's predecessor, and have been using the foldable since the past year or so. I wanted to find out what made them buy the Z Fold2 in the first place, and how it changed their lives, if at all. To avoid colouring this review, they shall remain anonymous, and I'll be referring to them as H&M (no link to the Swedish clothing chain).
