      What’s up..yes,,thanks for the information. The z fold was tempting but I decided to go with Apple 🍎. I wonder if anyone knew that the new iPhones have a feature that won’t let you use Home Screen in landscape mode. It’s not a deal breaker, but I wish for a change in the upgrade next year.Also try the new “Book app”,, it has a lot of settings for easy reading on the new iPhones.

      Hey I bought a z fold 3 for 275 off Facebook with an understanding that I couldn't use it with service only on wifi. Honestly it's amazing and I am glad I never traded for it using my daily driver or something to Verizon because it's not a work day to day phone for me. I use it weekends and nights after work. And at home wifi works great. And if I am on the road then my hotspot works amazing. For 275 it was a godsend and well worth it. I can't call people ooh well there is Facebook messenger and other things haha

    But, I notice the quality of my photos are somewhat blurry and grainy, even holding still.
    Is the problem with the quality of the camera?

    All in all, unless you want that improvement in the camera, then there's no reason to upgrade. I mean, I got the fold 3 and my battery life lasts me all day long with no issues. The 888 works pretty well still. The 8 gen 1 was horrible and killed battery in my s22 ultra fast. I haven't tried anything with the 8gen 1+ yet, but I've heard good things. But yeh even the barely slightly wider outside screen isn't enough to upgrade...maybe if they made it as wide as oppo's where the outside screen feels like a real phone screen.

      @@hardcorecasual6608 I decided on the Fold 3. I scored a used one in excellent condition from eBay. It cost me $545 total. I really like the phone.
      Two things I don't like.
      During normal use battery gets to 15% by dinner time. Heavy use have to charge at lunch time.
      The other is, I have trouble when texting with it closed. Hitting 1, q, a keys sucks. I had to removed the front screen cover to text faster.
      Both problems can be overcome. If you watch reviews of fold 3 VS 4, the 4 has a slightly wider front screen. But is it worth paying $100?not to me.

    Great video. So, if I have the z fold 3 now do you think its worth upgrading to the 4? I have been considering but unsure if I want to do the like 1k down payment. However, I dropped my phone last month and the front screen does have some cracks in it. If I were to do the insurance for it, they would send me a replacement z fold 3..but it would be a refurbished. So unsure how well that would be.

    SD888 was the first gen using the X1 core and it shows with thermals and efficiency. The 8+Gen1 is a much more refined SoC that it honestly feels like it's 1 1/2 generations ahead of the SD888. That alone would be the main reason to upgrade if you had issues with thermals and performance issues. Otherwise, keep the ZFold3 and wait for the 5.

    So there's an elephant in the room. Owners of the fold 3 are starting to experience the screen protector installed by Samsung starting to peel up and bubble. I've had to have it fixed twice...and each time Samsung tries to say it's not a warranty item. The repair center says it's happening with many of them, they do it all day (a 4 hour repair), depending on how often you open and close it. So.....buyer beware on this new tech.

    The crease is not that noticeable on every day use you honestly forget about it, and the underneath display camera.. so far I had my Z4 for three weeks and loving it.. battery life is good could be a little better.. The display is absolutely beautiful, every other day I’m finding something new I can do on my phone… honestly I like Apple but this is a game changer… very much the z4 is underrated! It’s worth the price point.. you’re getting two things in one, p.s Face ID could be a lot better but the fingerprint scanner is extremely fast.. The only problem that I have is why is the case so expensive for just two parts👎🏽 do not get the Samsung case it is not worth it $100 no sir

      The finger print scanner sucks lol yes it’s fast but it fails to read my finger print on the 1st try it’s absolutely garbage
      Battery life is okay not good but it’s okay
      The crease is very noticeable in my opinion lol I notice it the second I unfold my phone

      @@oo0024 I disagree because my fingerprint scanner works every time on the 1st time, I tell you what take your fingerprint scanner off and redo it, The face recognition what sucks , And yeah you do that it sounds to me you're just not a fold type of guy ... I'm giving them my honest feedback it sounds like you're just hating, And what I mean by the crease I'm Comparing it to all the other folders out there and the past iterations it's actually got better and not as noticeable as all of the others.. Battery life do suck a little but it charge pretty fast.. Underneath camera trash but it's not like you're going to use it like that... Overall I give it a 7 to 8.5 out of 10 and that's comparing it to all phones and iphones.. So yes it's worth it ..ps The speaker could be a little Louder , But it's not bad at all It's just a phone of this size it should be annoying loud

    The current trade-in credit for good condition Z3 is $1,000. That is a super good deal. My remaining balance of my z3 is $1,090. If I trade in, my total due is $900. Which is less than what my balance was. I think it would be a good deal for me to trade in for the Z4.
    In 2025, if Z5 comes out with a built-in pen slot, I'm screwed.

      I am worried about the price of the M2; being in the UK, with the pound dumpster diving, the iPhone price rises may seem a bargain compared to the new iPad. If you are in the US, that will not be a problem. A 20% increase in M2 iPad Pro will push many people away. So if you can get a good deal on the M1, then you may save hundreds.

    I'm using my ZFold3 about 1 year and I really can say the diferences between Zf3 & Zf4 are minimal aestethic speaking there is no upgrade on that side... the front screen is a litle more wide but is really almost the same as ZF3! Is a litle more shorter than Zf3 and I feel it weight the same as ZF3 so the module cameras on ZF4 are slighty more bigger... and main camera on ZF4 is 50mp so! Visually is identicall to ZF3 the only upgrade I see on the ZF4 is the main camera 50mp and the chipset snap 8+gen1 that is a big upgrade! Since the snap 888 that uses ZF3 to snap 888+ snap 8 gen1 and the latest snap8+ gen1! But starting 2023 samsung will provide snap 8 gen 2 to its futures celphones! So I will wait a litle more before I buy my next plegable phone!

Make the inner display more scratch resistant because I'm worried that using spen on the zfold like pencil and paper can put marka on your display because my always being worried and pressing really light isn't giving u natural feeling so make it more durable and scratch resistant, oh I almost forgot they should add spen support to the front display because alot of us just like to navigate with the spen or ability to take quick note without having to have open the display would be a nice edition.

    paid £800 for my fold 4 512gb second hand from cash convertors here in the UK. The reason why it was £800 was due to the back panel were the camera is being cracked. It's just the back panel and not the camera so I called samsung they advised me it will cost around £70 to get it fixed. I traded my s22 ultra and got £550 part exchange for the fold 4 so I ended up paying £250. Tbh once I buy a case for the fold 4 it will cover the back of the phone anyway.
