Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G _ Specs

 

Hey, what's up guys here, this is a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. So the Z Fold 3 is basically a better built version of the Fold 2. And it's 1800 bucks now. So it's still an expensive specialty phone, but with serious ambition. And that's what I wanna talk about in this review is the ambition of this phone, which I believe is the second best folding phone out right now. The Fold wants to be as close to a normal smartphone as possible, but then also give you a huge sort of mini tablet sized screen and all the experiences that are great about that.That is a much bigger goal and ambition for this phone. And so I actually think that because the phone's ambition is so high, this phone, the Fold 3 is actually worse at some normal phone things, on its way to doing some things that literally no other phone can do. So the most obvious place this shows up is when you try to use this as a normal phone without Folding it. Like this is what one of those boring normal phones usually it looks like. This is what we're used to for typing and scrolling and watching videos, et cetera. The cover screen on the Fold 3, it is better than ever. It's way better than the first Fold. It is corner to corner now. It's 120 Hertz now, plenty bright, and you can use it as a normal phone for quick stuff when you don't really feel like opening the whole thing up, but it's pretty narrow. It's a very tall aspect ratio that makes the top pretty difficult to reach. Watching videos on it isn't great. Again, because it's so narrow. And even though I've used the phone for over a week, the keyboard on the cover screen is still a little cramped. Now, Samsung is doing the Folding hardware better than ever. That the hinge protrudes even less out the side, and it's just a little more firm and solid, even in last year's hinge, it feels good. And believe it or not the whole phone, including this hinge is IPX8 water resistant. Not because the hinge is watertight, but because they've actually coated the components inside the hinge and then sealed each half of the phone off. But as I've mentioned, IPX8 does not include dust resistance. It comes with 12 megapixels sensors for the primary ultra wide and telephoto. I'd rate these as like B plus cameras. So that's really not bad at all. But you know, what is, you know it's really been the biggest sacrifice on Fold 3, battery life. As you can imagine, going from a 60 to 120 Hertz cover display, and also trimming the battery slightly. When you got thinner, it went from 4,500 to 4400 milliamp hour and still powering a huge battery, 120 Hertz, 7.6 inch display, It Comes with cool features, So this is awesome phone.                                                                                                                    Thanks for watching.
