The editors didn't like
Pen support for inner screen only
No new camera hardware
Expensive given camera specs
Still pricey
Camera hardware not upgraded
No built-in holster for S Pen or charger included
Lacking rear cameras
Pretty awful under-display camera for Zoom calls
Battery life is slightly worse than last year
Awkward aspect ratio displays make multi-tasking less impressive
Heavy and bulky
Cover screen feels cramped
Still needs careful handling
Expensive
Bulky vs. traditional phone
Still lacks dust resistance
Battery life is still horrible
Cameras are good but not great
The crease is annoying when using the S Pen
Not cheap
Hinge gap is still present and even the new tougher display protector is still soft and susceptible to damage
Under-display camera offers a more immersive multimedia experience than a punch hole
But is still far from perfect and the camera quality is no
No storage for the S Pen
Cameras aren't up to par with the Galaxy S21 Ultra
Foldable crease is still noticeable
Eye-watering price
Terrible under-screen selfie camera
Heavy and awkward as a phone
Still incredibly expensive for a phone
Cameras are good
But not stand-out
Under-display camera is distracting
S Pen sold separately and there's nowhere to store it
The pixelated OLED is distracting
And the selfies you get from this 4MP shooter are terrible
Samsung's menus can be confusing
And it's too aggressive in managing memory
The battery lasts a day—you'll be charging every night
The tablet/phone hybrid we've been dreaming of, Multitasking app support is fantastic, Feels like a more polished product overall, 120Hz on every screen
Some apps are buggy in Flex mode, Under display camera isn't great
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is the best foldable phone/tablet ever made and offers a range of features that will help you do more than ever before. It's priced far beyond what most are willing to pay though, and a few of the apps need work yet...

For all its qualities, there are still some conceptual issues with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 3 that start to annoy over time. By the second week of use, we did grow tired of the smaller screen and its squished controls. It isn't always easy to fold it back...

Uniquely expansive main display, Plenty of power, Refined, more robust foldable design
Cameras aren't competitive with the very best, Still very expensive, No S Pen bundled in
An improved design and a pair of 120Hz displays mark a worthwhile refinement of Samsung's bold foldable concept. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is a uniquely impressive device, though a middling camera system and a steep price tag mean it's still not quite r...

very expensive, no 5x optical zoom camera, internal screen can be marked more easily than traditional glass, heavy, thick
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is a genuine technological marvel from Samsung.The South Korean firm has improved almost everything with its third-generation folding tablet-phone hybrid. It is faster, smoother, has much improved software, better cameras, a more relia...

Surprisingly easy to handle, Tough hinge, Ultra-bright inner screen
Cameras are mid-tier Samsung performers, Still costs an absolute fortune
A £1600 phone sends our scepticism into overdrive. You could buy a Fiat Seicento with 30,000 miles on the clock and only mild kerb damage for that sort of money. And you'd still have change left over to buy a couple of big-screen budget phones. So we don...

S Pen support – finally, More durable design, Slightly cheaper than Fold 2
Still very expensive, Cameras could be better, No front-screen S pen support
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is the first foldable phone that we recommend to people who would normally call themselves ‘early adopters', yet held off on buying last year's Z Fold 2 for good reason. Those fence-sitters will be swayed by the new Z Fold 3's...
Yes. The improvements to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 are big enough that I feel safe recommending them to average consumers who aren't early adopters. There are still a few trade-offs with battery and camera performance, so if you value those two things the most...
New durable design, Substantial UI improvements, Likeable (and unique) form factor
Still expensive, Inner screen feels quite delicate, Cameras aren't anything special
Clearly, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G is a phone that's overflowing with positives. Not only is it something to admire, but it's immediately obvious that Samsung has taken on feedback from previous versions, and it's been rewarded with one of the most well-roun...
There's plenty to love about the Galaxy Fold 3. It's incredibly well-built with good looks to match, and its screens are things of visual – not to mention, engineering – beauty. The promise of S Pen and multitasking tricks, coupled with more powerful inn...
