Revainrating 5 out of 5

Satisfied with the purchase one hundred percent, I recommend the product for everyone.

The much-touted multitasking modes, which ostensibly make it possible to run up to three applications concurrently, have not proven to be of any value to me as of yet. And dragging between them was not desired for this reason, even if I am confident that this will only work in three and a half apps. Those who are unhappy with the fact that the kit does not come with a charging option are difficult for me to comprehend. For instance, if in the past two to three years they have purchased an ultrabook that was not the least expensive option, then they almost certainly already have USB-C Power Delivery charging, which is significantly more powerful than is strictly required. We are already very close to living in that wonderful distant future, where all storage devices will be universal; moreover, charging will be completely uniform across the board, and the amount of power that will be required will be quite modest (described in shortcomings). The operating system security patch does not come in any way despite the fact that the September one has already been released; however, it informs me that the most recent version is the factory one from July. Either they have not yet given it the green light in the year 2022, or the equipment has some issues. Even if there aren't any other reasons to question its usefulness or originality, I made sure this was taken care of. I chose the green color, and for a long time I wondered whether the factory had made a mistake by giving me the wrong hue. After all, it says green on the box, and the box itself is green, but the actual device is black. When the sunlight, the angle, and the atmosphere are just right, you can occasionally make out some dark greenish overflows in it. despite the fact that it is generally nice. It's a pity that in a year, most likely, they will do the same, but the battery is larger, the charge is normal, the camera is at the level - but you are not, you gave a kidney a year ago, you can't do it anymore.

Pros
  • It should come as no surprise that the device works quite well for reading text on various websites, documents, and the like. (By no means do I imply that it is in direct competition with the E-Ink reader.) It turned out to be right that the width of the external screen is so limited (it has a resolution of less than 1080p). For instance, I want to be able to hold the phone with my hand when I bring it out, but the length of my fingers would simply not be sufficient to do so if the thickness is doubled while the breadth remains the same. And with a scope this limited - adequate. Even if it has a clean appearance, there is no requirement to make use of it because there is also a standard version. The camera located under the screen works quite well. When I looked at the display cases, I came to the same conclusion as the reviewers: since the camera is not hidden in any way and can be seen clearly, there is no point in hiding it. When I was utilizing it, I made sure that such a camera was necessary there - you frequently try to find it with your eyes in order to determine which side you are holding the device with - and you find its attempts starting from the third, in a couple of seconds. It blends in nicely with the screen, which is ideal for side vision. While it is obvious that her monitor does not have a refresh rate of at least 60 hertz, let alone resolution or color reproduction. In any event, this camera represents a significant advance in terms of its use (I did not shoot with it). The wrinkle in the screen is one that can be seen, felt, and enjoyed. I use my finger to specifically scroll through listings on it. a significant improvement over the subsequent Gorilla Glass 666. The suppleness of the screen is also present here. As a result of the screen's large size, square shape, and suppleness, using the stylus is a significantly more pleasurable experience than it was on the glass of the Note 8 and 10. The fact that the stylus itself has shrunk to the size of a pencil and no longer has the ability to retract is no longer a problem. I always have it with me, and although I worry that I could damage it, it never fails to make me happy. Autonomy exceeded even my most negative expectations, which was a pleasant surprise for me. It would appear that the screen itself is not the primary consumer of battery life in flagship devices, despite its massive size and 120 Hz refresh rate. Basically, you need to discharge the processor and the modem. Even though the screen is quite small and only runs at 60 hertz, the device has a battery rating of 4.4, making it significantly more resilient than the Note 10, which has a rating of 3.5. By the way, there wasn't any autonomy there, but when it was removed, Fold 3 seems to have gained some. Despite the fact that there were worries that it would only become worse - the difference in 900 mAh will be swallowed by the screen, snap 888, and ask for more - it ended up being better than expected.
Cons
  • The camera and the charging are the two most significant drawbacks. If you examine at the specifications, you'll see that the Galaxy Note 8 featured cameras that were just as good as those from four years ago; the primary aperture was greater, and the width was superfluous. And obviously, this is a significant step backward in comparison to the Galaxy Note 10, which is now two years old. Even if they didn't use the cameras from the ultra, they should have at least produced an x3 telephoto instead of an x2 version. Aperture 1 / 1.5, not 1.8. Or at least 108 megapixels, if 1.8. Would it truly be at least 20% more expensive than what I was expecting? When I started using Galaxy, charging has left me in a groggy state more than once a year. Even in its flagship devices, Samsung does not give more than 25 watts of charging power, in contrast to the many Xiaomi chargers that can deliver over 100 watts of power and charge a device in 20 to 30 minutes (read: not visible). Thank you very much, and at least USB Power Delivery is appropriate. Also, in 2022, they introduced the Galaxy Note 10+, which included 45W Power Delivery. and completely forgot about it. In S20 and S21, the note 20, here, and everywhere else 25, respectively. The laptop adapter for USB Power Delivery 65 W takes between one and a half and two hours to charge. The development of wireless charging has also been delayed by five years, and the patented Convertible Charger will charge the device in more than three hours by the end of 2022; nothing seems to be supported that is faster. There is a theoretical ceiling of 10 or 15 watts of power. The modification of the shell to fit the form factor is yet another thing that can be annoying. A message on the AoD inside does not take up both halves of the screen; rather, it occupies thirty percent of one half. It takes about a half minute to flip the smartphone with all of the pretzels on it so that AoD hits exactly the screen where you want it to hit and is not in the other orientation. The lock screen will not rotate into landscape mode for some reason. Although even AoD is capable of it, it does it not automatically but rather through a predetermined configuration. On the internal screen, several components of the native shell will only operate properly in the portrait orientation. If you think about it, "a month has not passed, give them time, they will correct everything" is a foolish thing to say when you consider that the first device of this kind was released more than two years ago. And it has been discovered that the 2022 Galaxy is unable to play WMA (CBR, VBR, or Lossless) or ALAC files! Only FLAC, AAC, and MP3s will do. I installed VLC, however it frequently freezes and ranks really poorly in terms of usability in comparison to Samsung Music.
