Most people complain about the fold without having it. I have many different phones from many different brands. This is the most versatile and amazing phones around. S21 ultra and fold 3 are two completely different phones, in terms of uses. People are acting like we are taking cameras out of a potato. I don't care about being able to look up someone's nose 10 meters away.
@@awaiizY same mate i selling ip13 pro max after using this fold the onehanded experience and the movie no phone right now ever feeling good like this for me
I love this phone! I also don't think I'll ever be going back to a traditional candybar phone. If ever I will be upgrading it will only be to the next fold.
@@awaiizY hi I just got my Fold 4 3 days ago and am loving it. I upgraded from a oneplus9pro (I miss the alert slider 🥲) other than that I'm in love with the fold for reading mangas and light novels and some books. I'm just wondering if you still have your fold , and if so how has it held up and how do you feel about it now? Thank you in advance for any information you can offer!😁🙏
@Derek Hall honestly you just gotta turn a bunch of things off on the phone. That's what I did and my battery percentage changed to normal. Alot of people don't know that you have to do that with the fold 3. It's all about turning off apps ur not using cuz they run in the background and that's why ur battery drains fast
@@MrTopXman for me it's really good, only very slightly less than s21 ultra. I've been watching RUclips and playing emulations today, 4h30m sot and still 45 percent left.
I actually really like using the fold 3 cover screen, it's narrow and I can easily reach the whole screen with one thumb and the thickness makes it feel more secure in the hand
I use the cover screen for youtube..landscape mode..its like a regular phone when u watch..i prefer cover screen no need big screen ..use only if you multitask..
I UPGRADED from the S21 Ultra to the Fold 3. From my perspective it's a clear upgrade. I use my Samsung for work. The multitasking improvements are enough to justify. Content consumption (not work) is amazing. I was a previous Note die hard. I found I began using the S-Pen less and less but still overall enjoyed the larger screen. The fold 3 seems to be about the perfect size of screen. Still a phone not exactly a tablet. Very pleased with the purchase.
Made wrong choice all it has is a bigger screen everything else the s21 ultra is better a cheaper the fold is way to much for just a bigger screen but good luck on that
I've had the phone about a month now and I can tell you it was absolutely worth the upgrade from the s21 ultra. The screen real estate versus sacrificing the main camera totally worth it.
Ya is the battery really that bad? How is it with an average user perspective. I have a S20 ultra right now, had it since launch but I'm really leaning toward the fold 3 over the s21 ultra but the battery life reviews are steering me away.
I made the change from the S21 to the Fold 3. Here is what I think : Contrary to what everyone else says, the screens aren't identical. Resolution on the Fold 3 is (in my mind) considerably worse. Watching movies is clearly not as enjoyable as on the S21, as far as clarity of the picture is concerned. The pen situation is also not comparable. First of, with the S21 the extra case will hold the pen nicely. The Fold 3 case is awkward at best. Try and put down the Fold 3 with this case flat on a table so you can actually write on it; there is no way to do this (unless you remove the entire sleeve for the pen, but who takes that time.). Furthermore, the pen works only on the Fold 3. Now, I also work with a Tab S7+, and I now have to carry around 2 pens with me at all times, and I constantly have to check which pen I need. Or I can switch to the (giant!) S pen pro. Now I have to switch modes every time I use a different device. Plus getting the S pen pro out of the sleeve is really tricky and takes time. And it doesn't even have a little clip to keep it firm in your pocket. Not very useful really. On the S21 you can use any pen you have in your hand or available. Plain convenient. The front screen on the Fold 3 is a bit too narrow. Especially typing is sometimes difficult. Even though both phones should perform identical, I feel that the Fold 3 is not as snappy as the S21 (I had it for more than a week now, so everything should be settled in). Even though I'm an average camera user, I'm not as happy with the camera on the Fold 3. I simply think that the picture quality altogether is not as good. But again, maybe this is only me. Or the resolution on the Fold. The fingerprint reader on the Fold 3 works extremely reliable and fast, way better than on the S21. Reason being is perhaps my age. The fingerprints on older people literally wear out. It seems that the Fold 3 has less problems with this situation. I have to work a lot with larger pdf files, and I have found that the Fold actually can replace a tablet in many instances. Certainly not if you want to work on a file for hours, but I already had a few cases where I could leave my tablet at the house. (Would have been extra nice to also have an S pen with a clip for my pocket.) Being able to work on files, reading newspapers and kindle books, watching movies (even though the resolution is not perfect), and better typing on the large screen are the reasons for me to keep the Fold 3. Also, the Fold 3 is a really enjoyable device. It has "charm", for whatever reason.
I had s21 ultra and I bought fold 3. Fold 3 much more enjoyable in every aspect. The screen resolution look identical and more enjoyable due to the large canvas.
Of course the resolution is not as sharp. It’s a big screen with less PPI compared to a 500-600 ppi regular candy bar screen. Even my iPad Pro 12.9 doesn’t look as sharp as my iPhone and it’s way higher resolution then 1440p. If you’re looking for sharpness then stick to none tablets
The build quality on my Fold 3 is impeccable. Pretty hard to even consider anything else now that I've used the fold for a couple weeks. I migrated from a Samsung S8+, so I was due... the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra didn't feel like a significant upgrade from the S8+. New form factor is a game changer if you like to text with your thumbs on a fat finger keyboard.
I currently have both the fold 3 and note 20 ultra (will be selling one). Personally I think these devices are soooo different it's hard to actually compare then. You did a Great job in this video!!! Personally I think I will be keeping the fold. Once you go to the folds massive 120 hz display, you just can't go back to something even as big as 5he note 20 ultra.
I have both phones. I don't notice a performance difference, but the camera is such a crazy difference. 21 ultra Is simply better on the camera. But nonetheless I use the fold 3 as my main
That 5G uses a lot of battery and if you are using those air pods via Bluetooth it's gonna drain battery super fast! I always have dark mode black wallpaper and batter saving mode on.
@@rickyjames9413 60Hz is best for battery saving only go 120Hz is you play game or certain fast apps. Best solution is having an extra wireless powerbank to charge up your phone.
@@rickyjames9413 Yes but don't over charge your battery to 100% there is protection setting for battery. It automatically charge to 80% or 85% since battery can't be swapped anymore. You need to be careful with battery care its gonna be less and less year after year...
Samsung is on the right track, especially after they see the strong and unexpected demand for the Fold 3. They aren't a lot wrong with the Fold 3, that's why I would tell anyone that wants one to wait for the Fold 4. Samsung will most likely iron out the few kinks.
I got the fold 3 and I agree with this. I love this phone but while there aren't any big problems, they're are small ones that all add on top of each other. I'm excited for the 4 so I can trade in the 3
What you say makes no sense. Let me explain. If one can destroy a display with fingernails it's rubbish. If after a while pixels start to die where the crease is, and the damages spread i can only shake my head. You get mediocre cameras and a lousy selfi camera. Most apps are not adjusted to the display form factor of the folds and hence they look crummy. If u want to use a case u have to glue the case to the phone 😅. If the display has any issues out of warranty make yourself ready to pay 700 Dollars for a new one. This mobiles just make no sense. And this is coming from a technology lover who owned smart devices way back when there we're only palm pilots available or Sony Clie mini computers.
@@Trust_The_Plan That's What I've Noticed As Well 🤔 They Don't Even Have Longer Battery Life To Put My Mind At Ease About Paying $500 More For An Unprotected Investment
@@Trust_The_Plan Not arguing against you here, I agree there is a lot lacking in the Fold 3 for the cost. But the Fold 3 has 2 selfie cameras, the outside one is the same as the S21 ultra, it's the inside one that's not as good. But the actual camera array is awful on the Fold 3 for the price, and battery life. $400 more than the S21 ultra and the only real upgrade is screen size.
Thank you soo much for pointing out that, not everybody is really professional about what the claim to be, there are a lot of things the fold can do that no other phone can do
@@Y33ZUS699 I understand that. However, it doesn't function on your phone the way that it does on the fold. My point is there are features on the fold that are unique to the fold or unique in how they function on the fold.
Currently switching to fold 3 from iPhone X. Making sure to get a upgrade program, so I can keep upgrading to the new folds every year. We all know it’ll get better and better. Dust rating and a better camera will probably be on the Fold 4!
Choose Fold 3 over my note 21 ultra ... Honest I love it. It's a choice of preference.. to be honest how much and how many pictures do you take using a 100x times zoom.. I'm a dude so I'm not big on selfie pictures really.
@@14kafil Seems Samsung read their ideas, because supposedly the Galaxy S22 Ultra will be a NOTE merger with S Pen. So I assume the top of the line branches will be FOLD and NOTE for the flagships.
Great objective comparison. I'm an iPhone user and I am very undecided as to which one to get. Your vlog is very helpful. I am going for the Fold 3. Thank you.
The fold should have included the small s-pen then you would have the perfect phone. I have been a Note User for 4 years and use the s-pen daily. I dont like the large pen in the fold bc I have to buy a special case for it, but then those cases covers the front screen.
I have been a Note user since Note 4 however, I must admit the case I got for the Surface Duo works as Ihave one loop on shell and another on the duo itself. No where near as cool as integrattion that yells at you when your pen is missing but you get used to it.
@@rajasnagpurkar As far as the Note goes: 1.) sign things without requiring a printer, this is why having it inside your device or attached is convieniant. 2.) Notes in Onenote 3.) Ebook notes 4.) sometimes its easier to select in between hard to get to spots with your finger vs tiny tip of the pen. 5. Cheetoproof 6. Can remotely take a picture from a distance with a click. * those are the first few things Iuse the pen for off hand* Once in a blue moon color and all that jazz but yeah
@@rajasnagpurkar I use my s-pen to talk notes in conference calls on-site meetings. I also use it to take phots and take notes when doing site inspections. Or when Im out of the office at store and someone calls..i will write down some notes. If I can write clearly it will then convert it to text then PDF . i never talk any note pads to meetings anymore
Interesting that you present the fingerprint sensor as better on the S21 Ultra when under-display sensors are actually way worse, more unreliable, and can have more false positives than the one mounted on the side. Also having to put your finger on the center is actually less comfortable than gripping the sides of the phone when you pick it up to unlock it.
Had the choice to upgrade to the S21 Ultra or Fold 3 and I choose the latter. The S21 is just a slight upgrade on my S20 whereas the Fold 3 is a whole different level. The differences in the cameras are not nearly enough to offset a 2 in 1 device. No brainer for me!
You could have guessed that, and that's why I didn't think about an upgrade for a second: The camera setup of the S21 Ultra is currently the best you can find on the market. Since photography is my hobby, you have to pry my S21 Ultra from my cold dead fingers.
@@Fhesseti I had a camera and lens park. That now covers the S21 Ultra very well. Practically 4 fixed focal lengths always with me and I love the 3x focal length (about 80mm KB). Yes, it's computerized photography, but the results are respectable and I save myself hours I used to spend on the RAW converter. The only use I can think of for a separate camera is focal lengths of 400mm (plus X) for wildlife or sports photography. On vacation, I still take a Canon m3 as a backup.
@@klause.9182 Photography maybe but low light photography can't be done that well and video is definitely out of the question. If you shoot video the ultra won't help and tbh the fold and the ultra have very similar cameras from my experience but the fold is amazing for editing on the go. Can even use remote desktop on that big screen and use my actual PC to do stuff like Photoshop or whatever
I love my fold 3, I upgraded from the note 20 ultra. I thought I'd really moss it but I could not go back to a regular phone now. I love phablet!!! Phone/tablet. Had it for 5 months now.
I got s20 ultra when it came out. So I'm still holding out for the s22. Hopefully it'll be worth it, because I already paid my phone off. On another note I'm love I'm 46mm lte sliver classic.
Bought fold 3 few days back, and it changes the way i use to work before. many things are handy now for which used to carry different devices. a good business phone.
Good work as always. Interesting you didnt mention the S21 Ultra defults to 12 MP with pixel bending like all Samsung phones (you have to go in to pro mode to get 108MP).
Yes they put a button that lests you change it on the fly but to really use it properly you need to go in to pro mode because it locks out the other camera lens on the phone when you do that. If you dont want access to the wide angle or tele then cool use it.
After this, I am even more convinced to keep my S21 ultra. A complete phone in every area. Not afraidto use it in every condition. I want to use a phone with peace of mind and not afraid of damaging the inner screen with an accidental finger nail touch. Many thanks for your elaborate illustration.
Great video and thanks for your information. You left me more confused but that's not a bad thing. I have a galaxy s20 5g. What are your thoughts about the benifets of going from that to each of these?
It's odd to me the camera quality can be the make or break for some people, but for me atleast the fold has been amazing, especially in terms of gaming. Also being able to type again with one hand using the cover screen feels more versatile in my opinion.
It depends on what is it used for. I guess 99% of the people who want the Fold doesn't really care about the camera, Fold is not a camera phone. On the other hand, the Flex mode camera of the Fold is very useful so that one can take pics and videos vithout using a tripod.
I am so glad I upgraded from my s21 ultra, just got my z fold 3 days ago & it's amazing & it's so smooth & fast with the downloading speed & the full screen on the RUclips is the best.
I never thought I'd say this. But it's fold 3 for me over my s21 ultra. Fold is the new king! Don't get me wrong the s21 ultra is still the best overall mobile phone available right now . But the fold has many of the ultras characteristics and many more on top. But also a few downgrades in the camera department. But the cameras are still very capable. What I like is the fact that it's different! It's new, exciting and innovative. The ultra is just a fantastic phone. But ultimately the same as all the others. The fold is new ! I thought I'd hate the front screen, and yes it's narrow but you can get most things done on it. The inner screen is absolutely beautiful! Most apps work now and that makes it even better. The fold isn't for everyone but you aren't going to know until you try! Hopefully next year the fold 4 will have a slightly wider screen. But the again if you are going to use the front screen all the time then that's a waste and stick to the ultra.
Audio is important too. The sensor should be on the buttons or on the case. My husband is blind and can't use the in display. That makes his phone a security risk
How so much clarity ✨️ you gave with every valid point ! Class video . Does all apps which work in Samsung Note 10 plus( which I currently use ) , work in this phone ? RUclips videoz are my fav . Will they work full screen .. I guess all silly doubts , but since its expensive 😃I need to care about these things..thanks a ton
Hi Saki Now that S22 Ultra is released, so u recommend buying fold 3? I know for sure battery life and cámaras are not so good. I've had been seeing videos that people are complaining of the durability of the screen of fold 3, they say that with normal usage the screen can brake easily!
I Love my S21 Ultra 5G. I have no reason to upgrade just yet. Yes the foldable is is awesome to have, but I'll be sacrificing some features including the Cameras. Both phones are great.
This is my issue I need to decide. I'm loving my fold 3 right now tho honestly do I need to zoom in 100x but I enjoyed the laser auto focus. I just don't know why couldn't samsung put the 40mp front facing camera on the fold 3. Lol I still have more days so we will see if I trade my s21 ultra.
I think the "fear" of the fold screen breaking is all in the person's mind. I tap my z fold 3 with my nail and use it just like my s21 ultra.... It hasn't broke yet 😂
Great useful video. Actually I missed the software side (perhaps downside of it) of the bigger screen of the Fold phone, when using RUclips for example or other apps.
Some things I miss on my Fold 3,can't use my DJI OM5 gimbal and can't install to use DJI Go 4 app to use my Mavic Pro drone,no jack for wired headphones too
You forgot to mention the Dex application that the S21 Ultra has. You basically turn your S21 into a laptop or desktop if you connect it to an external monitor.
Great Review & well explained features & functionality. Not a fan of the tablet aspect - luv'd the overall usability, durabilty of the S21. Enjoyed the clip. Thankyou for precision & clarity in the explanation, alongside the speed of your presentation was perfect. ✌😊❗
I currently have the Note 20 Ultra and I'm waiting until next year. So I could pray that a new Note comes out or I'll see if the S22 looks good. I really don't want the new iPhone 13 pro max.
100x zoom us actually 10x optical and 10x digital. So not the clearest at full resolution. I can't think of a situation where this is going to be usable. Fold 3 is definitely versatile though.
Yeah, just by the ads Samsung has done, it seems to target 'gamers' and video streamers. The S21U targets, well, photography folk. Granted, I know the 100x zoom is crap, but from what I've seen, 30x zoom is still decent enough. Fold goes up to 10x, which isn't bad either. In my case, I don't stream much videos on my current s8+, mostly just browse web, twitter, IG, etc. But I do take a shitload of photos lol. If I want to stream videos, I have a chromebook for that. Sure, the Fold is enticing, but maybe I'll get a later revision when cameras improve :/
so you talk about what's difficult but why didn't you bring up flex mode for the camera section for the fold and that you can use take a picture of someone and video and they can see how it looks 🤔. this wasn't a full comparison you have to show everything the fold 3 does it seems like you try to make it like the s21 ultra does more. some of your videos have been lacking
Very comprehensive review. Love it so much. Currently i’m using iphone 12 and think about to change to fold 3 but after listened i change my mind to s21
Sabes que…yo soy usuario de IPhone por muchos años…actualmente tengo un iPhone 11 Pro Max desde hace dos años…probé el Z Fold 3…y a los 3 días lo devolví porque no varias razones…lo único positivo de el Z Fold 3,que puedes usar tres aplicaciones a la vez (y es una las razones principales por lo cual lo había adquirido,ademas de usarlo para leer biblias,libros,periódicos,reportes,etc,etc…pero,encontré que el Z Fold 3 es un producto que todavía le falta perfeccionarse,ademas de lo frágil que es la pantalla,susceptible a daños con facilidad…y por eso lo devolví…pensaba comprar el iPhone 13 pro max…pero,no me convence…total,tengo el iPhone 11 Pro Max…y la diferencia es mínima con el 13 pro max…ademas del iPhone,tengo un Galaxy S21 Ultra de 512 G y 16 de Ram…que son más que suficiente,combinado con las prestaciones de las cámaras y muchas cosas más que este S21 tiene,puedo decir que tengo lo mejor que actualmente se puede obtener en tecnología móvil…el año que viene,veremos a ver qué pasa (IPhone 14 o Z Fold 4)
Have to disagree with the under display fingerprint scanner. Having it on the power button is a time saver. I have it on my s10e. I press it down and my phone auto bypasses the lock screen.
I had the S10 lite, had an under display scanner that was horribly inaccurate. One of the most underrated features of the Fold is the insanely accurate fingerprint reader.
You are the best PR for Samsung man! They should pay you big! The ultra thing... is that you are honest also, so if you present another brand in comparing whit Samsung phones you recomand the best one... which is not always Samsung. That's anoter reason they should pay you... because you motivate them! 😉😉😉🤣🤣🤣
Poor s pen implementation makes this a no go for me. A shame that one of the biggest features for the ZF3 has very little support. So far there's only 1 case for s pen and it covers the outer screen. I returned my ZF3 and stuck with my S21U which has several cases for s pen.
@@arielm7643 case manufacturers get the specs way in advance to create cases so they are available upon release. The s pen being a key feature of the ZF3 means it should have been a priority. Major fail.
@@elliotserrano7333 cases are almost never out on release, idk what you're talking about, they also release based on popularity, so they see how the sales go and then release.
I upgraded since I had a S8+ and needed to buy a new phone. So I went with the one that is BEST. To me the camera a huge upgrade compared to s8+. Everything else is a upgrade too. I also got insane deal and got my phone for about $1000.00 after work discounts etc. If you already have a new phone I would just wait until fold 4 which should have better tech etc. I personally own a phone for few years but with the Fold 100% trading it in every year for a new one.
thanks for the video dude.. I'm gonna get the S21 5G Ultra.. $800 trade for my A71 5g UW plus $85 in credit to get the S21 5G Ultra.. cheers on the video once again..
Phantom Navy 512gb 16gb Ram s21 Ultra with Otterbox Defender case and Whitestone Dome Glass.....nearly indestructible. Love the form factor of both phones, I chose the s21 Ultra over the Note 20 Ultra for the bulkiness and feel. Soft glass on the Fold 3 scares me, I'm a tempered glass screen protector guy. Great review.
Speaking of fold. Does it has any duration limitation for 4k video? I ask because my old Note 9 can only record 10 minutes straight because of the "possible overheating". Never had the overheating warning and having to check every 10 minutes was annoying.
My dear try the fold please the s21 doesn't freak me anymore I currently own both phones, and I can tell u that I hardly remember that I own the s21 ultra, the camera is not that better than the fold 3's camera honestly I promise unless u love to zoom, I was shocked that in some shots the z fold 3 smoked the s21 ultra soo bad that my jaw dropped, all the big names the s21 ultra's camera has are all for fancy, I hardly use 8k cos most times it's shit if we are being honest, neither do I use the 108mp cos most times you'll struggle to get a perfect picture with the 108mp like you'll really have to take a lot of pictures before you'll get the one you can use, and I get most of my best shots wen it is pixel binned which still falls back to I think either 10mp or 12mp which is basically back to the same mp as on the fold, soo if u factor in all these, the s21 ultra's camera is really not that special, so far as it's not night and day difference it doesn't count 4 me, and I feel like when it comes to flexibility of cameras the z fold 3 has no competitor, and one of my best feature is the ability to show a preview of the picture to the person that you are taking a picture of, and that really saved me cos my girlfriend likes to see her posture on the go as I'm taking her picture and b4 the z fold was introduced it was always tiring to take her pictures cos she might reject all of them because she feels the posture was not perfect but with the fold she'll see her self on the cover screen and have a good posture so I don't have to take too many pictures of her in the name of good posture
@@katzcassim the battery life is good my dear, it all depends on your usage, and it also depends on how many apps are running in the background and I think if you have a lot of apps running in the background, it affects both phones and also if you're a heavy gamer or if you watch movies for soo long but if you're just a basic user it lasts up to a day most times and some times it will even have some juice left, but in conclusion the battery life is really good, if you use the outer screen much then the battery life will even be spectacular in that case it would even last more than my s21 ultra, and also I want to point out that this comparison only applies to you if the version of your s21 ultra is the snapdragon variant because if it is the exynos variant of the s21 ultra you have, then the battery life is shit because the 1st s21 ultra I had was the exynos variant and my dear trust me it was not really that good I had to get the snapdragon variant before i started enjoying the battery life again so if you have the exynos variant of the s21, then don't worry the fold's battery life will outclass that of the s21. And also I noticed that the s21 gets hotter faster than the fold but I think it's because of the size and the tablet like nature of the fold, it easily dissipates heat better than the s21
Watching from my Z Fold 3 Silver 512gb storage. This is my first foldable and definitely is not a smartphone for everyone but is a new whole experience that I haven't had before. Is far away to be perfect but after 3 generations I decided to push the trigger and I'm pretty happy with my decision, no remorses at all. I'm coming from a Note 20 ultra 5g exynos version and months ago I was so tempted to get s21 ultra in silver but at the same time I wanted something different. My previous phones were s8+, note 9, note 10+, note 20 ultra and now the z fold 3. At the end I just decided to wait for August to see the brand new z fold 3. After the event itself I was pretty concerned about battery life and it took me some days to think well about my upgrade but finally I did it and now I'm here posting this in my z fold 3. As I said no remorse. Now I'll be waiting for rollable phones or z fold 4 the next year.
It's funny when I hear people talk about how thick the fold3 is when it's folded. Did you folks ever handle a regular phone back in the day?? They were quite thick! 😂
I have Note 20 Ultra and S21 Ultra and honestly the battery life is pretty much the same. As far as cameras go, only thing really different Is the S21 Ultra has 100x zoom and Note 20 Ultra has 50x zoom. I definitely wouldn't "upgrade".
Note: MY fingerprint sensor is lightening faster on my Z Fold than my Note 20 Ulta ever was. I can also pick up wifi in blindspots that my Note 20 Ulta couldn't. That's also a win.
Most people complain about the fold without having it. I have many different phones from many different brands. This is the most versatile and amazing phones around. S21 ultra and fold 3 are two completely different phones, in terms of uses. People are acting like we are taking cameras out of a potato. I don't care about being able to look up someone's nose 10 meters away.

Only bad thing is the battery the fold is definetly the better phone.
It really isn't a new experience though is it? Unfolded its an extra 1.5" which is nice and all but for $400 more than the s21 ultra, no way.

I UPGRADED from the S21 Ultra to the Fold 3. From my perspective it's a clear upgrade. I use my Samsung for work. The multitasking improvements are enough to justify. Content consumption (not work) is amazing. I was a previous Note die hard. I found I began using the S-Pen less and less but still overall enjoyed the larger screen. The fold 3 seems to be about the perfect size of screen. Still a phone not exactly a tablet. Very pleased with the purchase.
lol how do you have so much money to spend on minor upgrades
Made wrong choice all it has is a bigger screen everything else the s21 ultra is better a cheaper the fold is way to much for just a bigger screen but good luck on that
@@henrylove4916 what make it way better just a bigger screen because everything else the s21 is better
No way
Good choice
I've had the phone about a month now and I can tell you it was absolutely worth the upgrade from the s21 ultra. The screen real estate versus sacrificing the main camera totally worth it.
Is the battery good? I heard it’s really bad. That’s the only thing stopping me from upgrading?
Ya is the battery really that bad? How is it with an average user perspective. I have a S20 ultra right now, had it since launch but I'm really leaning toward the fold 3 over the s21 ultra but the battery life reviews are steering me away.
It's not bad actually. Mine is estimating 1d6hrs from a full charge. And I'm not in power saving. Mix of video, news, games, texts, internet etc
@@reviewhead I've not noticed any difference between the z fold 3 and the s21 ultra battery wise.
@@MATTIEMMM Battery usage is dependent on the user. The fold can't hold a candle against the N20U
I made the change from the S21 to the Fold 3. Here is what I think :
Contrary to what everyone else says, the screens aren't identical. Resolution on the Fold 3 is (in my mind) considerably worse. Watching movies is clearly not as enjoyable as on the S21, as far as clarity of the picture is concerned.
The pen situation is also not comparable. First of, with the S21 the extra case will hold the pen nicely. The Fold 3 case is awkward at best. Try and put down the Fold 3 with this case flat on a table so you can actually write on it; there is no way to do this (unless you remove the entire sleeve for the pen, but who takes that time.).
Furthermore, the pen works only on the Fold 3. Now, I also work with a Tab S7+, and I now have to carry around 2 pens with me at all times, and I constantly have to check which pen I need. Or I can switch to the (giant!) S pen pro. Now I have to switch modes every time I use a different device. Plus getting the S pen pro out of the sleeve is really tricky and takes time. And it doesn't even have a little clip to keep it firm in your pocket. Not very useful really.
On the S21 you can use any pen you have in your hand or available. Plain convenient.
The front screen on the Fold 3 is a bit too narrow. Especially typing is sometimes difficult.
Even though both phones should perform identical, I feel that the Fold 3 is not as snappy as the S21 (I had it for more than a week now, so everything should be settled in).
Even though I'm an average camera user, I'm not as happy with the camera on the Fold 3. I simply think that the picture quality altogether is not as good. But again, maybe this is only me. Or the resolution on the Fold.
The fingerprint reader on the Fold 3 works extremely reliable and fast, way better than on the S21. Reason being is perhaps my age. The fingerprints on older people literally wear out. It seems that the Fold 3 has less problems with this situation.
I have to work a lot with larger pdf files, and I have found that the Fold actually can replace a tablet in many instances. Certainly not if you want to work on a file for hours, but I already had a few cases where I could leave my tablet at the house. (Would have been extra nice to also have an S pen with a clip for my pocket.)
Being able to work on files, reading newspapers and kindle books, watching movies (even though the resolution is not perfect), and better typing on the large screen are the reasons for me to keep the Fold 3.
Also, the Fold 3 is a really enjoyable device. It has "charm", for whatever reason.
I love this. You’re calling it as it is.
Reasonable reasoning. Only thing im a bit dissapointed with my fold 3 is the bat. But that is because I'm a heavy power user.
@@strength45 Meanwhile, my battery is pretty much the same as it was on the S21 (after 12 days or so), about 20 hours of regular use.
I had s21 ultra and I bought fold 3. Fold 3 much more enjoyable in every aspect. The screen resolution look identical and more enjoyable due to the large canvas.
Of course the resolution is not as sharp. It’s a big screen with less PPI compared to a 500-600 ppi regular candy bar screen. Even my iPad Pro 12.9 doesn’t look as sharp as my iPhone and it’s way higher resolution then 1440p. If you’re looking for sharpness then stick to none tablets
The build quality on my Fold 3 is impeccable. Pretty hard to even consider anything else now that I've used the fold for a couple weeks. I migrated from a Samsung S8+, so I was due... the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra didn't feel like a significant upgrade from the S8+. New form factor is a game changer if you like to text with your thumbs on a fat finger keyboard.
I currently have both the fold 3 and note 20 ultra (will be selling one). Personally I think these devices are soooo different it's hard to actually compare then. You did a Great job in this video!!! Personally I think I will be keeping the fold. Once you go to the folds massive 120 hz display, you just can't go back to something even as big as 5he note 20 ultra.

I turned off the 5G on my Fold 3 and now the battery is much better....very close to the screen time I get with the S21 Ultra

Samsung is on the right track, especially after they see the strong and unexpected demand for the Fold 3. They aren't a lot wrong with the Fold 3, that's why I would tell anyone that wants one to wait for the Fold 4. Samsung will most likely iron out the few kinks.
I got the fold 3 and I agree with this. I love this phone but while there aren't any big problems, they're are small ones that all add on top of each other. I'm excited for the 4 so I can trade in the 3
You can't buy other phones readily. People being forced to it.
What you say makes no sense. Let me explain. If one can destroy a display with fingernails it's rubbish. If after a while pixels start to die where the crease is, and the damages spread i can only shake my head. You get mediocre cameras and a lousy selfi camera. Most apps are not adjusted to the display form factor of the folds and hence they look crummy. If u want to use a case u have to glue the case to the phone 😅. If the display has any issues out of warranty make yourself ready to pay 700 Dollars for a new one. This mobiles just make no sense. And this is coming from a technology lover who owned smart devices way back when there we're only palm pilots available or Sony Clie mini computers.
@@Trust_The_Plan That's What I've Noticed As Well 🤔 They Don't Even Have Longer Battery Life To Put My Mind At Ease About Paying $500 More For An Unprotected Investment
@@Trust_The_Plan Not arguing against you here, I agree there is a lot lacking in the Fold 3 for the cost. But the Fold 3 has 2 selfie cameras, the outside one is the same as the S21 ultra, it's the inside one that's not as good. But the actual camera array is awful on the Fold 3 for the price, and battery life. $400 more than the S21 ultra and the only real upgrade is screen size.
Flex mode? Labs? Wish you'd talked about some of the other features the fold offers that no other phone offers including the s21.
Thank you soo much for pointing out that, not everybody is really professional about what the claim to be, there are a lot of things the fold can do that no other phone can do

Also hopefully a slightly bigger front screen
Choose Fold 3 over my note 21 ultra ... Honest I love it. It's a choice of preference.. to be honest how much and how many pictures do you take using a 100x times zoom.. I'm a dude so I'm not big on selfie pictures really.

Spot on!i have the Ultra and really dont use the camera as much as i thought.
@@14kafil Seems Samsung read their ideas, because supposedly the Galaxy S22 Ultra will be a NOTE merger with S Pen.
So I assume the top of the line branches will be FOLD and NOTE for the flagships.
@@14kafil sorry note 20 ultra
Unless u stalk someone u don't need 100× zoom lol. 🤪
Great objective comparison. I'm an iPhone user and I am very undecided as to which one to get. Your vlog is very helpful. I am going for the Fold 3. Thank you.
The fold should have included the small s-pen then you would have the perfect phone. I have been a Note User for 4 years and use the s-pen daily. I dont like the large pen in the fold bc I have to buy a special case for it, but then those cases covers the front screen.
I have been a Note user since Note 4 however, I must admit the case I got for the Surface Duo works as Ihave one loop on shell and another on the duo itself. No where near as cool as integrattion that yells at you when your pen is missing but you get used to it.
Check out the Spigen SlimFit P case (P stands for Pen). It looks a lot better than Samsung's own pen-holding case.
out of curiosity what do you wind uo using the spen daily for? do you draw?
@@rajasnagpurkar As far as the Note goes: 1.) sign things without requiring a printer, this is why having it inside your device or attached is convieniant. 2.) Notes in Onenote 3.) Ebook notes 4.) sometimes its easier to select in between hard to get to spots with your finger vs tiny tip of the pen. 5. Cheetoproof 6. Can remotely take a picture from a distance with a click. * those are the first few things Iuse the pen for off hand* Once in a blue moon color and all that jazz but yeah
@@rajasnagpurkar I use my s-pen to talk notes in conference calls on-site meetings. I also use it to take phots and take notes when doing site inspections. Or when Im out of the office at store and someone calls..i will write down some notes. If I can write clearly it will then convert it to text then PDF . i never talk any note pads to meetings anymore
Interesting that you present the fingerprint sensor as better on the S21 Ultra when under-display sensors are actually way worse, more unreliable, and can have more false positives than the one mounted on the side. Also having to put your finger on the center is actually less comfortable than gripping the sides of the phone when you pick it up to unlock it.
This i vouch for
Agree. I’m so disappointed with Samsung on this. I rarely use this feature because the sensor can’t identify my fingerprint.
@@TheJmenoFam you need to go see a fingerprint doctor dude. Get it fixed. Good luck.
Had the choice to upgrade to the S21 Ultra or Fold 3 and I choose the latter. The S21 is just a slight upgrade on my S20 whereas the Fold 3 is a whole different level. The differences in the cameras are not nearly enough to offset a 2 in 1 device. No brainer for me!
I am intrigued by the device for many reasons,but cameras are not one of them.I it has a good regular c
ular camera
You could have guessed that, and that's why I didn't think about an upgrade for a second: The camera setup of the S21 Ultra is currently the best you can find on the market. Since photography is my hobby, you have to pry my S21 Ultra from my cold dead fingers.
It's just a camera.
If photography is your hobby why not use a legit camera?
@@Fhesseti I had a camera and lens park. That now covers the S21 Ultra very well. Practically 4 fixed focal lengths always with me and I love the 3x focal length (about 80mm KB). Yes, it's computerized photography, but the results are respectable and I save myself hours I used to spend on the RAW converter. The only use I can think of for a separate camera is focal lengths of 400mm (plus X) for wildlife or sports photography. On vacation, I still take a Canon m3 as a backup.
@@klause.9182 Photography maybe but low light photography can't be done that well and video is definitely out of the question. If you shoot video the ultra won't help and tbh the fold and the ultra have very similar cameras from my experience but the fold is amazing for editing on the go. Can even use remote desktop on that big screen and use my actual PC to do stuff like Photoshop or whatever
i switched from note 20 ultra to z fold3 and battery on z fold3 is absolutely amazing
I love my fold 3, I upgraded from the note 20 ultra. I thought I'd really moss it but I could not go back to a regular phone now. I love phablet!!! Phone/tablet. Had it for 5 months now.
I had s21 ultra and I bought fold 3. Fold 3 is the best phone ever. From now I am fan of fold series.
I got s20 ultra when it came out. So I'm still holding out for the s22. Hopefully it'll be worth it, because I already paid my phone off. On another note I'm love I'm 46mm lte sliver classic.
Great comparison video! Thanks for the honest information!
Thank you for an honest review.
What a clear review for both models. I feel so happy to keep my S21U at this moment 😁
Yes I have the same 21 ultra 💕
Bought fold 3 few days back, and it changes the way i use to work before. many things are handy now for which used to carry different devices. a good business phone.
Thank you for easy understanding when compare between the 2 phones - Awesome 👍
Great review, now I'm wishing I went with the silver GF3 instead of the black one
Switched from the 12 pro max to the fold 3 and man...I'm impressed. I love it, I'm not going back to a "normal" phone again tbh.
Are you still using fold 3 ?
I had the S21 ultra for 4 months now, personally, I wouldn't change.
Fold 3 hands down. I get that the fold cameras aren't as good, but for us average folks, we can't tell the difference. This form factor kicks keester.
Good work as always. Interesting you didnt mention the S21 Ultra defults to 12 MP with pixel bending like all Samsung phones (you have to go in to pro mode to get 108MP).
You do NOT have to use pro mode to get to 108MP. I literally just checked on my S21 ultra now.
Yes they put a button that lests you change it on the fly but to really use it properly you need to go in to pro mode because it locks out the other camera lens on the phone when you do that. If you dont want access to the wide angle or tele then cool use it.
@@charlescdt6509 you do know those other 2 lenses arent 108mp right. No shit using the 108mp lense wont use the wide and zoom camera
After this, I am even more convinced to keep my S21 ultra. A complete phone in every
area. Not afraidto
use it in every condition. I want to use a phone with peace of mind and not afraid of damaging the inner screen with an accidental finger nail touch. Many thanks for your elaborate illustration.
Keep it.. see my comment above
@Nikolas Lemar Best decision. You will be better off with the S21 ultra.. With the extra remaining money, buy tab S7+ or wait for tab S8.
Cool wallpaper on s21 ultra, where to download?
Great video and thanks for your information. You left me more confused but that's not a bad thing. I have a galaxy s20 5g. What are your thoughts about the benifets of going from that to each of these?
It's odd to me the camera quality can be the make or break for some people, but for me atleast the fold has been amazing, especially in terms of gaming. Also being able to type again with one hand using the cover screen feels more versatile in my opinion.
It depends on what is it used for. I guess 99% of the people who want the Fold doesn't really care about the camera, Fold is not a camera phone. On the other hand, the Flex mode camera of the Fold is very useful so that one can take pics and videos vithout using a tripod.
I am so glad I upgraded from my s21 ultra, just got my z fold 3 days ago & it's amazing & it's so smooth & fast with the downloading speed & the full screen on the RUclips is the best.
I never thought I'd say this. But it's fold 3 for me over my s21 ultra. Fold is the new king! Don't get me wrong the s21 ultra is still the best overall mobile phone available right now . But the fold has many of the ultras characteristics and many more on top. But also a few downgrades in the camera department. But the cameras are still very capable. What I like is the fact that it's different! It's new, exciting and innovative. The ultra is just a fantastic phone. But ultimately the same as all the others. The fold is new ! I thought I'd hate the front screen, and yes it's narrow but you can get most things done on it. The inner screen is absolutely beautiful! Most apps work now and that makes it even better. The fold isn't for everyone but you aren't going to know until you try! Hopefully next year the fold 4 will have a slightly wider screen. But the again if you are going to use the front screen all the time then that's a waste and stick to the ultra.
Max Tech did his camera comparison and the Fold won, over S21 Ultra and 12 Pro Max
@@8tonystark8 excellent even better!!
For the fold 4, I'm hoping the front screen is bigger and wider as the s21 ultra.
Audio is important too. The sensor should be on the buttons or on the case. My husband is blind and can't use the in display. That makes his phone a security risk
How so much clarity ✨️ you gave with every valid point ! Class video . Does all apps which work in Samsung Note 10 plus( which I currently use ) , work in this phone ? RUclips videoz are my fav . Will they work full screen .. I guess all silly doubts , but since its expensive 😃I need to care about these things..thanks a ton
Hi Saki
Now that S22 Ultra is released, so u recommend buying fold 3?
I know for sure battery life and cámaras are not so good.
I've had been seeing videos that people are complaining of the durability of the screen of fold 3, they say that with normal usage the screen can brake easily!
I Love my S21 Ultra 5G. I have no reason to upgrade just yet. Yes the foldable is is awesome to have, but I'll be sacrificing some features including the Cameras. Both phones are great.
Amazing review. Thanks for your great job.
IF I HAVE IPHONE 12 PRO MAX AND S21 ULTRA u think i can upgrade from s21 ultra to fold 3
This is my issue I need to decide. I'm loving my fold 3 right now tho honestly do I need to zoom in 100x but I enjoyed the laser auto focus. I just don't know why couldn't samsung put the 40mp front facing camera on the fold 3. Lol I still have more days so we will see if I trade my s21 ultra.
So did u send back the fold 3?
Love da wallpaper on the fold where did u get it
Great video, Question! is the Z fold 3 able to do edge lit notification same as the Samsung S21 Ultra?
Yes!
I think the "fear" of the fold screen breaking is all in the person's mind. I tap my z fold 3 with my nail and use it just like my s21 ultra.... It hasn't broke yet 😂

Great useful video. Actually I missed the software side (perhaps downside of it) of the bigger screen of the Fold phone, when using RUclips for example or other apps.
Great comparison thanks 👍
Where did you get that cool screen saver that's on that S21 ultra in the video??
Some things I miss on my Fold 3,can't use my DJI OM5 gimbal and can't install to use DJI Go 4 app to use my Mavic Pro drone,no jack for wired headphones too
You forgot to mention the Dex application that the S21 Ultra has. You basically turn your S21 into a laptop or desktop if you connect it to an external monitor.
same on the fold

I have had every Z Fold and each time they have become a much better experience. Once you go Fold you never go back!
I currently have the Note 20 Ultra and I'm waiting until next year. So I could pray that a new Note comes out or I'll see if the S22 looks good. I really don't want the new iPhone 13 pro max.
I just read today that Samsung will not be doing the next note series! That sucks!
Was about to say they announced the note is done , main reasons for the fold was to take over the large phone space for Samsung
This is why I went out and bought the 20 before they're gone. In case I don't buy another phone for another four years.

Very good explaination thank you.
100x zoom us actually 10x optical and 10x digital. So not the clearest at full resolution. I can't think of a situation where this is going to be usable. Fold 3 is definitely versatile though.
I'm getting the s21 ultra as my second phone behind my fold 3 and I believe I'll have complete satisfaction for awhile.
Hardware fingerprint sensor is superior to indisplay because of accuracy, consistency, and speed of unlock.
This phone cant be compared with s21 ultra as it targets different audiences
Camera blows folds out of the water, battery much better. Other than that tho I am so happy other fold
Yeah, just by the ads Samsung has done, it seems to target 'gamers' and video streamers. The S21U targets, well, photography folk. Granted, I know the 100x zoom is crap, but from what I've seen, 30x zoom is still decent enough. Fold goes up to 10x, which isn't bad either.
In my case, I don't stream much videos on my current s8+, mostly just browse web, twitter, IG, etc. But I do take a shitload of photos lol. If I want to stream videos, I have a chromebook for that.
Sure, the Fold is enticing, but maybe I'll get a later revision when cameras improve :/
Excellent working
so you talk about what's difficult but why didn't you bring up flex mode for the camera section for the fold and that you can use take a picture of someone and video and they can see how it looks 🤔. this wasn't a full comparison you have to show everything the fold 3 does it seems like you try to make it like the s21 ultra does more. some of your videos have been lacking
You honestly said the truth
Watching this on my S21 Ultra makes me proud of my decision. Go for the S21 Ultra if you are in the market

Thank you for the comparison! I will stay with Note or S series phones until they come out with a Fold that has the same camera specs.
Have to disagree with the under display fingerprint scanner. Having it on the power button is a time saver. I have it on my s10e. I press it down and my phone auto bypasses the lock screen.
I had the S10 lite, had an under display scanner that was horribly inaccurate. One of the most underrated features of the Fold is the insanely accurate fingerprint reader.
You are the best PR for Samsung man! They should pay you big!
The ultra thing... is that you are honest also, so if you present another brand in comparing whit Samsung phones you recomand the best one... which is not always Samsung. That's anoter reason they should pay you... because you motivate them!

Phantom Navy 512gb 16gb Ram s21 Ultra with Otterbox Defender case and Whitestone Dome Glass.....nearly indestructible.

Great review.
Speaking of fold. Does it has any duration limitation for 4k video?
I ask because my old Note 9 can only record 10 minutes straight because of the "possible overheating". Never had the overheating warning and having to check every 10 minutes was annoying.
I wanted to try the Fold 3 but I think I will keep my S21 ultra until next year 👍👏
My dear try the fold please the s21 doesn't freak me anymore I currently own both phones, and I can tell u that I hardly remember that I own the s21 ultra, the camera is not that better than the fold 3's camera honestly I promise unless u love to zoom, I was shocked that in some shots the z fold 3 smoked the s21 ultra soo bad that my jaw dropped, all the big names the s21 ultra's camera has are all for fancy, I hardly use 8k cos most times it's shit if we are being honest, neither do I use the 108mp cos most times you'll struggle to get a perfect picture with the 108mp like you'll really have to take a lot of pictures before you'll get the one you can use, and I get most of my best shots wen it is pixel binned which still falls back to I think either 10mp or 12mp which is basically back to the same mp as on the fold, soo if u factor in all these, the s21 ultra's camera is really not that special, so far as it's not night and day difference it doesn't count 4 me, and I feel like when it comes to flexibility of cameras the z fold 3 has no competitor, and one of my best feature is the ability to show a preview of the picture to the person that you are taking a picture of, and that really saved me cos my girlfriend likes to see her posture on the go as I'm taking her picture and b4 the z fold was introduced it was always tiring to take her pictures cos she might reject all of them because she feels the posture was not perfect but with the fold she'll see her self on the cover screen and have a good posture so I don't have to take too many pictures of her in the name of good posture
@@dr_emmz ok thank you 👍👏but how's the battery life cos I heard its pretty bad on the Fold 3 🤔💭?
@@katzcassim the battery life is good my dear, it all depends on your usage, and it also depends on how many apps are running in the background and I think if you have a lot of apps running in the background, it affects both phones and also if you're a heavy gamer or if you watch movies for soo long but if you're just a basic user it lasts up to a day most times and some times it will even have some juice left, but in conclusion the battery life is really good, if you use the outer screen much then the battery life will even be spectacular in that case it would even last more than my s21 ultra, and also I want to point out that this comparison only applies to you if the version of your s21 ultra is the snapdragon variant because if it is the exynos variant of the s21 ultra you have, then the battery life is shit because the 1st s21 ultra I had was the exynos variant and my dear trust me it was not really that good I had to get the snapdragon variant before i started enjoying the battery life again so if you have the exynos variant of the s21, then don't worry the fold's battery life will outclass that of the s21. And also I noticed that the s21 gets hotter faster than the fold but I think it's because of the size and the tablet like nature of the fold, it easily dissipates heat better than the s21
@@dr_emmz ok thank you so much for your honesty much appreciated 😊 🙏 👍
@@katzcassim you're most welcome
The term "form factor" was used correctly. I love it.
im thinking this for few weeks now. please convince me making jump to fold from my ultra. or should i wait for s22 note/ultra/whatevernameitis?
Watching from my Z Fold 3 Silver 512gb storage. This is my first foldable and definitely is not a smartphone for everyone but is a new whole experience that I haven't had before. Is far away to be perfect but after 3 generations I decided to push the trigger and I'm pretty happy with my decision, no remorses at all. I'm coming from a Note 20 ultra 5g exynos version and months ago I was so tempted to get s21 ultra in silver but at the same time I wanted something different. My previous phones were s8+, note 9, note 10+, note 20 ultra and now the z fold 3.
At the end I just decided to wait for August to see the brand new z fold 3. After the event itself I was pretty concerned about battery life and it took me some days to think well about my upgrade but finally I did it and now I'm here posting this in my z fold 3. As I said no remorse. Now I'll be waiting for rollable phones or z fold 4 the next year.
They don't make a 512gb Silver option, that storage size is only available in Black. I'm calling Bullshyt.
@@bigdrenaz bro.. I live in UK and here we have silver 512gb storage versión and I think all the colors as well. Even the box says that.
It's funny when I hear people talk about how thick the fold3 is when it's folded. Did you folks ever handle a regular phone back in the day?? They were quite thick! 😂
i did the upgrade from S10+ to Fold 3 and the Fold 3 is Amazing
I never use my s pen on my note 20 ultra and was strongly thinking about getting a 21 ultra because of the battery and cameras what do you think?
Good choice..especially for battery
I have Note 20 Ultra and S21 Ultra and honestly the battery life is pretty much the same. As far as cameras go, only thing really different Is the S21 Ultra has 100x zoom and Note 20 Ultra has 50x zoom. I definitely wouldn't "upgrade".
Note 20 to S21 Ulta is an upgrade. You just lose SD card support, which I hate but everything else is good.
Step out of the boring and into the exciting Fold3. Got a Fold3 1month now. It's s so much more than my Note 10+, minus the inbuilt s'pen.
@@Harmony1111 I went from note 20 to fold 3. No regrets.
Glorious Fold 3 master race.
Finally a video about a foldable.
I don't see how your title isn't click bait. Every video on the fold 3 mentions what you mention.
Note: MY fingerprint sensor is lightening faster on my Z Fold than my Note 20 Ulta ever was. I can also pick up wifi in blindspots that my Note 20 Ulta couldn't. That's also a win.
It's lightning fast on the s21 ultra also
