Review on Smartphone Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 12/256 GB RU, Dual: nano SIM + eSIM, silver by Petar Velichkov ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

For my purposes, this smartphone may be the best available. If it had a stylus and a camera that wasn't inferior to the Note20Ultra, I'd consider upgrading. I'll hold out for Fold4 in the hopes that it improves upon or is added to this functionality.

Pros
  • An outstanding prototype of a future smartphone, considering what we can now produce. In the days leading up to my pre-order, I split my time between the Note20 ultimate bundle for personal usage and the honor20 for business calls, amocrm, and in-car pairing. Since I now own a Fold, I debated getting rid of the ultra and just keeping the Honor as a backup. However, after a few days of using the fold, I understood that I would need to abandon the 20ultra in order to turn it into a functional gadget. So, to speak of merits: 512 MB of RAM is sufficient for all of my needs, and the device has a fantastic design and a tiny exterior screen that makes it easy to hold. Since I reside in humid St. Petersburg, the ability to repel water was a deciding factor. The tablet's form factor struck me as practical because I recalled the ease with which I had previously used one. This double-sided fold saves space and money. When I'm on the road or in the car, the primary screen is where I spend most of my time. Its larger diagonal and crisp audio make it hard to look away. As a 20ultra user, I appreciated that the screen was stylus-compatible. There are, however, subtleties, which I discuss further below.
Cons
  • The stylus case included in this set is a source of both dread and embarrassment. It's a huge hassle to use. I felt secure in my purchase of a green padded silicone case. Exactly, where should I rest the stylus? It's useless, therefore I keep it in my bag. I use it multiple times a day on my Ultra, but here, without its protective case, I'm more likely to lose track of it. In other words, the stylus is not the stylus until it's within the body. In addition, my primary gripe and excuse for frivolity is this: why the heck aren't there any high-end cameras with digital zoom of at least 4x? The most costly and most prominent model has camera features comparable to those of a laptop 20 (without the ultra) in the ultraportable category. It's outrageous that they did this. That's why I ditched my 20 ultra: I use it almost exclusively for photography and videography. Additionally, the battery isn't frozen, but because I comprehend the situation, I only charge twice day.
