Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 review review
- Surprisingly easy to handle
- Tough hinge
- Ultra-bright inner screen
- Cameras are mid-tier Samsung performers
- Still costs an absolute fortune
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G (256GB, Phantom Green) AU - Pristine review
When I initially sat down to try and put my thoughts together for this review, I was going to take the “traditional” approach. But since the Galaxy Z Fold 3 has already been available a few weeks, that’s kind of the boring approach.- Slimmer and lighter than the Z Fold 2, Having a foldable phone is still an incredible feeling, S Pen support was a necessary and welcome addition, Phantom Black is the best color on a smartphone
- Battery life is still horrible., Cameras are good but not great, The crease is annoying when using the S Pen

If you’re sold on the perks of the foldable concept, though, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is its best proponent yet.- Uniquely expansive main display, Plenty of power, Refined, more robust foldable design
- Cameras aren’t competitive with the very best, Still very expensive, No S Pen bundled in
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 256GB Silver SM-F926BZSDXNZ review
The future makes skeptics of us all, and folding phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 still face an uphill battle. While the third generation of the range-topping foldable costs less than its predecessor, at $1,800 it’s still a laptop-priced commitment to a form factor that remains controversial.- Foldable design feels like the future of phones, One UI 3 makes apps usable on an Android tablet, Cheaper than previous Fold models, Waterproofing adds reassurance
- Still incredibly expensive for a phone, Cameras are good, but not stand-out, Under-display camera is distracting, S Pen sold separately and there's nowhere to store it
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 256GB Silver SM-F926BZSDXNZ review
For all its qualities, there are still some conceptual issues with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 3 that start to annoy over time. By the second week of use, we did grow tired of the smaller screen and its squished controls.- Stunning displays Snappy processor Stronger hinge
- Very expensive Middling cameras

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 review
An industry-defining foldable that offers improved hardware, optimised software and a few surprises (like S Pen stylus support and water resistance), on top of a lower price tag than its predecessor- Improved design and durability
- Productivity powerhouse
- Beautiful displays
- Consistent cameras
- Some apps require manual optimisation
- Terrible under-display camera
- Cumbersome
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 review
The world of foldables hasn’t really set our eyelids on fire like we’d hoped, but they are coming along. Three generations of foldable in, Samsung’s chunky chap is more interesting than ever, and feels like a worthy option for someone who lives a life around entertainment.- Still a really cool idea, Excellent performance, Fantastic entertainment device, Includes an under-screen camera (!), Rear cameras can be used as a selfie camera, Supports 5G, Wireless charging, Water resistant
- Very, very thick, Under-screen camera isn't great, Rear camera shots need to be sharper, No 8K video capture, S-Pen support feels like it's been thrown in as opposed to designed to be truly used with the Fold 3, Not a major leap on last year's Fold 2
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G (256GB, Silver) - Excellent review
This can be considered two phones in one, ‘folded’ it’s a little narrow compared to most recent offering, ‘unfolded’ you need large hands or a flat surface to lay it on. Having told you about the Samsung Flip last year here is its big brother the Samsung Fold.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 256GB Silver SM-F926BZSDXNZ review
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is the best possible case Samsung can make for a phone that unfolds into a small tablet. It’s the fourth iteration of the same basic idea, refined and repaired over the course of years following an embarrassing false-start failure on the first attempt.- Water resistant, Vastly improved screen feel, Multitasking on Android much better
- Terrible under-screen selfie camera, Heavy and awkward as a phone, Expensive
