Unsuitable product, not worth the money.

Days later, you begin to understand that in fact the internal screen has an advantage over the Note screen in very few places, probably only the browser and games (I don’t play). Just if you are used to using your mobile quickly: read whatsap, answered, took a picture, looked at the picture, sent it, looked on the Internet, etc. you won't be able to do this quickly with a fold if you perform different actions on a closed and open screen. At least opening, closing, opening again + selecting the last application will take a lot of time. I use my mobile fast and I started using only the external screen, so it's faster. He is very narrow, much narrower than his wife's small s20, och. not comfortable to type. It is very long and it also does not add comfort. But it's still more convenient and, most importantly, faster than closing and opening the mobile phone. Just imagine: the mobile phone is closed in your pocket or bag, you need to look at WhatsApp, there is a photo, will you open it? Let's say no, or maybe yes, you bought a fold :) And if it's a link? you will probably open it, but while you open it with both hands on the note, you already read what is there in chrome. Put on a table in a cafe/office? Open? Better close. Then a message came, before poke a finger at the phone on the table, looked, unsubscribed. Now he took it with both hands, prepared for magic, solemnly opened it, wrote it off, put it down. It's all wildly long and inconvenient! It's really heavy after Note10+. It is not convenient to wear it in shorts, and it is hard to hold it in your hand. In the car, if you use a navigator, forget it. It will fall out of 90% of the holders, because. thick and heavy. If you still pick it up, out of 5 pieces, one of them came up with long paws and a powerful clamp - then you will drive along a very narrow Nav and switching to whatsapp without getting it out of the holder you will suffer. I also have a large auto-hold for folding, but again it’s inconvenient: it’s not clear why a very large navigator takes up the view of the windshield, or half of the navigator’s screen and half of some software that you also can’t quickly switch leaving the navigator.

Pros
  • Very honest about the Z Fold 3. I am a fan of Samsung, especially the Note series and the big S. Over the past 10 years, the following have been bought at the start of sales: Note, Note 2, Note 3, Note 4, Note 5, S8plus, Note 8, Note 9, S10plus and Note 10 plus. Externally and tactilely, the ZF3 evokes only pleasant emotions: workmanship, materials, a loop, everything is expensively made. Selfie on the main unit - cool and high quality. The camera under the screen is cool! But the device does not want to open and close often, it is not convenient to do this, it is relatively long and hard, and therefore not very pleasant, consider this further. Those. this is not the pleasant effect that some clamshells or sliders gave you in your youth :) It is impossible to open with one hand. At home: it would seem a scenario for an open device, but it is almost impossible to hold and control (!) an open device with one hand. Only two, ie. if you need to use the device with one hand you will have to close it. Further, it is inconvenient to wear it open even around the house, it does not fit into your pocket, because if you want to move it to another room, you need to close it. Then let's say you need to write something, and you open it again or write on a narrow screen. In addition, almost all third-party software is tailored for regular phones, you may not notice it, but after years of software evolution, everything is done so that you can do the most common actions very quickly, at the bottom of the screen, with one hand. The display of this software, layout and design is stretched to a wide screen, i. E. almost all applications except instagram work in full screen without black fields, the problem is that they are not adapted to this. Those. a lot of free useless space appears, in the messenger messages are dispersed for a kilometer from each other left and right, in programs like Aliexpress information is dispersed across the screen, believe me, this is not something that does not add convenience, it looks like madness 🙂
Cons
  • The decisive moment for me was when I was sitting in AliApp on the big screen, at home, at the table, and then closed the device, because it was more readable, informative and convenient than on the "big square", because. you see the beginning of the description, reviews. On the elongated one, you see more at once, because. as planned by the developer, the most important information at once! Albeit more petty. And so in almost all third-party software. In addition, it is not convenient to take pictures with two hands open, shoot a video, a large viewfinder, if you have no vision problems, does not give any advantages. It is not convenient to put 2 applications on the left and right, because now you need whatsapp + gallery, in a second gallery + calculator, in another second. calculator+whatsapp. And while you are posting all this, you will instantly switch on a regular mobile and do everything you need. And there will be 20+ shortcuts with all combinations of all applications. Instagram who uses: on a large square you will suffer 🙂 Further about Wirth. Claudia, if you like Samsung's - okay, but because of the size (the maximum in the settings) and the Note, it's not very convenient for me to get into it, and it's extremely inconvenient to type text on the closed narrow Fold screen. If third-party - you will not be able to configure separately for int. and ext. screen, and setting a large height of the keyboard in order to hit it on a closed one, on an open one it will occupy a third of the screen. The keyboard that I love: SmartKeyboardPro (4 rows of letters) on the open stupidly does not work at all, is not adapted. Keyboards from different manufacturers cannot be installed on the open and closed screens in the mobile settings. The third-party dialer EXdialer to which I'm used to - also does not work correctly. I am sure that with half of the not very popular software you will have the same problems. And keep in mind, when you call, you need to close the fold every time. It's also infuriating, because. during a conversation like "look whatsap" you look at it either in small or open it, and then close it again to continue. Pain :)
