I have had my Galaxy Z Fold3 for seven months now and it has been an awesome experience. For me personally, it is going to be really difficult switching back to a traditional smartphone. Having a device that can be both a phone and a tablet is useful. Since I am visually impaired, having the extra screen real-estate makes this phone a lot more enjoyable.
I have also had my phone for 5 months now I bought a back in December I have to agree with you 100% I am also visually impaired And it is a great phone For someone visually impaired like us I don't see myself changing this phone any time soon
@@carlosvaldes6770 I am glad that you are enjoying your Galaxy Z Fold3. I agree that this is a great option for those who are visually impaired. I think that foldables and soon rollables are going to be game changers for us.
For a couple of months I had issues with my zfold 3
@@Bigpound76 What issues were you having?
@@markclayburne5805 it wasn't connecting to the mobile network so I couldn't dial out or receive calls. Calls were dropping while I was on wifi. The battery was draining very fast and it was overheating
I got the Fold 3 when it came out last summer and 8 months later I'm still in love with it as if I just got it yesterday. The S22 Ultra is indeed an amazing phone but my experience on the Fold has been extraordinary and I can't see myself ever wanting to go back to a traditional slab phone
Same it is a different experience and I can't go back if apple makes one I'll consider switching but I won't settle for bigger price point with less customization. That being said if it has more specs it'll be a easier switch
the fold 4 will get the S-pen and the same rear camera's as the S22 ultra, also 2 (better) hidden front camera's (one on the small screen and one in the big screen. I broke the screen on my S9edge yesterday. still works. hoping it survives till august :D (my s9+ edge did a hell of a job :D )
@@svendemeyer6278 forgive me if im wrong but aren't all s9 phones "edge"
@@harryHensum you aren't wrong. They did have 2 models. The s9 en s9+ both curved.
Said the same thing Until the inner screen cracked within 2 years. I'm going back to ultra.
EDIT: IP68 for the S22 Ultra

What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the Galaxy Fold 3 vs the Galaxy S22 Ultra was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?
Would love to know what you think. Which phone do you like better?
Here's my thoughts as a fold 3 user. I manage a team of people and logistics. I take notes, make lists, look at spreadsheets, etc. The fold 3 is perfect for me and the "tool" I've been looking for. When it comes to leisure like playing games watching movies and things like that, I don't do to much of that just music and podcasts so I'm usually getting off work/coming home and putting my phone to charge with >50%. What I'm really getting at is if you use your phone as almost a binder for your work or personal life, like a resource more than an entertainment source, the fold 3 will defiantly come in hand often.
Thank you so much for contributing by sharing your actual user experience.
Good to know, thank you Andrew for sharing 😊
I am on the opposite side of the spectrum as I am still studying so I use my Fold3 mostly as an entertainment source, like movies and gaming (specially fortnite) and it's phenomenal.
So besed on both our opinions, wants & needs for the Fold3 it really is a great all rounder.
I don't want my phone to be defiant though
@@TechGearTalk pls name the homescreen wallpaper on s22 ultra ....many thanks.
@@chase7767 😂😂
it's a matter of personal preference. i chose the Z fold 3 , im an ER physician, use the hospital management system to look for labs, imaging, write consultations etc.. bcz that's what i need in my life. so a i said it depends on the use factor.
Absolutely - your case is a great illustration of this.
Do you use the S Pen on the fold Dr. 'Dinrandir'? 😅
@@alphaspartan yupp.. S pen Pro😁
I have uses the z fold for 5 months , but now gone to s22 ultra , reasons poor battery , heavy phone , and home front screen difficult to text message etc to small, and no s pen holder , I did love the open full screen , look forward to z 4 ,at this stage love s22
The multitasking on my fold 3 is just too good to let go.
The fold 3 has been amazing. Using Teams and office 365 for work, utilizing the unfolded screen feature for maps/menus/on the fly research, best baby sitting tool for my toddler, and consuming entertainment. This device is a Swiss army knife. Surprisingly, I don't use the camera as much. The Inner screen camera does need help. I have no issues with rear camera. Looking forward to what the fold 4 will offer us next.
Your videos are like some sort of a premium digital dessert to me. You can't imagine the excitement every time I see them on the main page. 🤩
Oh wow - that is so kind of you to say. Thanks for being part of the channel!
I've had my fold 3 since launch, and the inner screen cracked. As much as I love the fold 3, it's just more practical for me to trade for an S22 ultra.
I own both and I can say the s22 is king for me personally. Mostly because I do content creating and the cameras are very different in terms of quality and being able to edit raw images is pretty sick. Great review.
I appreciate you contributing to the community. Thank you for being part of the channel!
I've literally just bought the s22u and traded in my Zf3. I was such a difficult decision because the Zf3 is a great device with a gorgeous display but ultimately, concerns about the durability of the inner display, the camera and the battery made my mind up. Its also a little annoying having to open it to get to that gorgeous display rather than just lift it out your pocket. I think foldables will be mainstream very soon but I think we're maybe a few generations away. I still really love the Zf3 but it maybe just falls short of the s22u but dang, it's not an easy choice.
I'm super grateful that you took the time to share your personal experience (and the challenges). Thanks for being part of the channel!
@@TechGearTalk I want to see an option to play games 16:9 to 16:10 aspect ratio, put the game on top, and have controllers on the floor of the screen. :)
@@TechGearTalk to be honest, the best phone i could imagine, is the same size as fold 3 closed, and can get wider to a note 20 or 22 ultra widness, and even can go double or triple wide, to ipad mini 6 category tablet size. Iwould have everything i want in a phone, be narraow small phone, be wide, big phone, and also be a small tbablet. with the sensor sizes of mi 11 ultra, and camera options of s 22 ulra :)
so i mean with a rolliking, stopable, stable screen, with size fingerprint reader, and pop up selfie camera.
i dont need s pen in the phone, when i need an s pen i can grab it from my wallet purse bag, nad it saves place for bigger battery, also, make it fast charge at least 120w, but better be 240w. put in great speakers also. now you can start fabricating the design for me :D
Almost got the Fold....got the Ultra instead and couldn't not be happier. Heard some horror stories about the fold and that's what really swayed me to the Ultra.
Has puesto subtitulos en español para el video, eso te da una mayor cobertura para más público de todo el mundo.
Gracias a ese extra que pocos youtubers se molestan en hacer, me quedo a ver el video a pesar del idioma y me suscribo al canal.
Great video! You're definitely getting the subscription. Now, I love the ZF3! I can only see me trading in my fold 3 for the Fold 4. I don't know if I could go back to another candy bar slab phone. Samsung has spoiled me.
Excellent, spot-on review and I completely agree with your take on these two devices. At the end of the day, the Fold 3 wasn't for me. I enjoyed it while I had it and as a tech piece, it's amazing. I found myself using it 90% of the time in the closed mode and really missed the slab size (came from a Note 10+ which still is one of my favorite phones of all time). I don't game so the extra screen real estate wasn't a huge factor. I was also disappointed at times with the cameras and ultimately (ha, no pun intended) I went back to the slab and am rocking the S22 Ultra. I absolutely love it and honestly can't say that I miss the Fold. Still, either one of these devices would be an amazing choice - it comes down to day to day use needs.
I’m super grateful for the kind words and for you taking the time to share you decision-making process. Thank you for being part of the channel! 🙏🏻
I’m not impressed with new gift by son, s22ultra 128 no sd 8 ram ....Samsung it’s a joke upgrade, pay more get less , in compare to my awesome powerful 10+ specs , not really excited to switch over yet.
Well said. Your exactly right. I owned them both. I'm currently using the s 22 ultra. Traded in my fold. Perfect the fold when the foldable phone when its more durable.
My concerns are more to do with durability and battery life. I'm an avid user. The multi-tasking ability this phone has and the ability to use the smaller screen instead of the full estate of the screen seems almost perfect. As long as the phone can be design to be perfectly utilized whether full open or close, I'm still interested.
I traded in my Fold 3 for an Ultra. The fold is cumbersome, thick, and not comfortable to carry around, 2. I did not like the feeling of constantly worrying when the internal screen would give out. 3. The external screen is too narrow and unusable on a normal case use.
Totally agree to disagree 💯
And stupid to pay $60 for an inferior S Pen with no Bluetooth and camera not great and no dust protection
Well I dont plan on taking mine to a dust farm anytime soon, so dust proof is no concern of mine, sounds like you really trying hard at knitpicking on small items considering what this phone is fully capable of.
I agree 100% and I did the same thing.
Agree on the number 2. Even samsung themselves said there is a limit (200,000 times) of opening and closing before the screen becomes weak. We will eat up the 200k fast without even noticing esp if you open/close it several times a day.
I've been comparing these two and trying to decide. Thanks, very useful comparison. 👍
Super glad it was helpful!
Cool fold but not durable and updated as the s22 ultra. And pics and videos are everyone thing mostly
Thank you for this video, I've had the zfold 3 since August, I've enjoyed it but lately it's been a pain in the butt lol talking to Samsung today and see if I can trade it in and get the S22 ultra. I'm a specs type of guy so S22 ultra would be better for me.
heard zf4 is going to be thinner and lighter, so it would appeal more customers I guess. My selling point would be weather they have a dedicated pen slot or not tho.
no spen slot
Can you please share the link or the name of the wallpaper you have used.
Thank you.
Your comparative views certainly puts things into perspective. I consider myself as a late adopter, with the view of upgrading from my Samsung M31 (6000mAh battery beast!) to either the older Z Fold 3 or the latest and greatest S22 Ultra.
I recall years ago when I got the Note 1, I was laughed at by people saying I got a plate-size phone. Now, everyone I know sports a minimum 6inch phone. A larger screen is such a need nowadays for media consumption.
My 2 main criterias are Bigger Battery and Bigger Screen, and such I split across the 2 Flagships. Doesn't help that my local carrier has run out of the Phantom Silver Z Fold 3 and the Phantom White S22 Ultra. So now, I am using the waiting time to seek as much justifications and proof I can to support my decision making.
Videos such as yours here are a godsend as it discusses the merits and weaknesses of each device.
I’m so glad the video was helpful and I’ll grateful for the kind words.
Thank you for taking the time to share your process with the community. You identified your priorities and you’re making a choice based on your needs and requirements 👏🏻.
Thank you for being part of the channel!
So finally which phone you chose?
The update: I tried the S22 Ultra, a great phone! I'm the person that switches between IOS and Android twice a year and when I had my Zfold3 I was content and cocky and I made the two ecosystems work as an Apple Mac user.
Having the S22 Ultra made me think about switching, other than the Xiaomi, I just got bored very quickly, the specs are amazing but I just missed the fold three.
I wish the front screen was wider, the camera was better, I have s pen pro, and a small integrated pen would be welcomed but not a necessity.
Again thank you for the good comparison but, I switched back to the fold3 and will be selling my S22 ULTRA Haha
I have that ultimate decision to make now. I've had the fold 3 about 5 weeks and traded for the s22 ultra. The ultra is here and I'm deciding which one to keep. I do a lot of traveling on my motorcycle and I'm not sure how the fold will hold up mounted to my handlebars exposed to dust, temp changes, vibrations etc.
The z fold 3 is not dust resistant. Bad idea
You're a very brave man. 🤣 IDK if I'd risk dropping such an expensive phone from a bike but maybe you got the $$$. What's daily battery life like on the fold compared to the U?
@@alphaspartan The ultra's batter life is a lot better
@@alphaspartan I heard Fold has way worse battery life
It won't hold up well at all, I'm a heating engineer and my z fold did get exposed to some dusty areas, 2 of them broke, now traded my 3rd in for the ultra, as I knew it was only a matter of time before that one failed as well.
The fold is an amazing device and I miss it already but it is definitely sensitive to dust and grit. I guy I sometimes meet in the merchants also had the same problem with his.
The fold in my opinion does need to be cared for alot more than your average phone. I'll probably give it another go in a few generations time. Hopefully they can find a way to make it dust resistant.
The ultra is also a great phone and the camera is incredible, and love having my s pen again.
I was a die hard Note fan. Still am. But, now that I've had my Fold 3 for 6 months, I cant imagine going back to a normal phone. Yes, there are a few things Samsung could do to make it perfect. Such as better cameras, better inner screen protector & wider front screen. But, over all it's an Amazing phone! I am no longer a "Afraid" to use a folding phone. Its not going to break from folding & its a far cry from my old Sanyo Inuendo.
I have the Galaxy 20 Ultra, but gonna wait for the Fold 4 with the integrated S-pen and see what that else that has to offer.
No integrated spen on the fold 4 sadly...
@@Yoyo-r8o exactly and Fold and Flop can't justify outrageous price
I had a very hard choice choosing between the two, but I ended up getting the Fold 3 for that huge screen and that "wow" factor.
After using it for a few weeks, I can't imaging going back to a smaller screen
Had a Z Fold in December 2021 and returned it in January 2022. The camera and poor battery are deal breakers. I've had an s22 Ultra for a few weeks now and wouldn't go back. My 22 Ultra lasts all day partly because the battery is bigger but also because I have a 45w charger. I leave it charging for just a few minutes here and there throughout the day and routinely end my day with 60%+ battery. The s22 charges so damn fast even in my car. I love that I can leave my phone next to me all night and then go plug it in while I shower and make breakfast in the morning and its back to 100% in no time. But the Z fold display is so epic its almost makes it a tough decision. Once they upgrade the cameras and battery it may be a contender for the best 👌🏼.
I left the Z fold 3 and went to the S22 Ultra also. I'm happy I did. Yeah, the battery, poor camera, forever smudgy inner screen and 0 dust resistance (even with a case) were deal breakers. The Z fold 4 isn't going to be any better.
@@rabdulwahid I hope it is. They are saying it might get the s21 camera module which is the same as the s22 ultra. Would love to see a flip with the camera from the s22 ultra. I love how small that phone is. I think small phones are overlooked. If they gave them great cameras I would go smaller.
@@ricksilvas855 from my understanding and what I've heard is that there will only be a small upgrade to the Z Fold 4 camera and it still will not be on par or even close to the S22 Ultra and no increase in battery size for it either.
After 2 of my z folds developed the same fault, the right side of the screen stopped responding I switched to the ultra. I did love the fold but there is definitely issues with the durability. I met two other people who had similar issues. For me it's still not there as an everyday phone.
Which z folds were it? 1 and 2? I heard 3 is more durable than both and it has an IP rating, which is something I definitely need for the fold. I might buy 3 when 4 comes out (for the major price drop) so I would like to hear if you had it and it broke.
Mine broke
Haha im still using my fold 3 without any issues
Great video as usual, I was struggle with this question when they just launched s22u, in the end, I went to a retail store, open OneNote and RUclips side by side, everything cleared. Absolutely stay with fold 3. Really hope they can make a build in Spen or Slim Spen like the surface slim pen
Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate you sharing your perspective as a user!
Very genuinely put by this man. First time on the channel and it has make my time worth here. Definitely subscribing it! Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for being part of the channel!
How can you even compare? The fold has an almost 2-times bigger screen, and in these sizes (as opposed to e.g. 50" vs. 100") - the size does matter, a hell of a lot. Who the hell cares about a little (!) shorter battery life or a tiny bit less-amazing display or camera when you get a mini-tablet that fits in your pocket in return for these compromises?
The only problem is the outrageous (and, to most people, unaffordable) price - but that goes for both these phones.
I enjoyed this video. It was clear, concise and to the point. The host was not annoying and didn't try to be funny and there was no stupud back ground music. Well done!
Nice review..thank you 🎉
I like how when he said “both phones are very fast “the phone is 22 ultra had an image of the flash
good catch!
For me, changing from using my phone to my tablet comes with a mindset change, so I like keeping the devices seperate. I would go for the s22 for that reason currently
Appreciate this detailed review!
I switched to an iPhone after being in Android for nearly a decade and GAHHHH I just want Android again. I was a Note user prior.
Was waiting for this video for months 😍😍😍. Sagi you just nailed it. When memberships come, I am going to be member if you continue honest videos like this. But also I want a comparison with iPhone 13 pro max and S22 Ultra
Thanks! It’s coming!
I upgraded to s22 ultra from note 10 plus 3 years old. I think it worth to upgrade. And the only reason I stay with Samsung after 3 years with note 10 plus is s22 ultra using snapdragon gen 1. The 1st phone they bring snapdragon gen 1 to Vietnam. If they back to exynos, no matter what they promise that Exy is better, I will switch to other phone brand to use better snapdragon chipset.
I loved my fold 3 until one day I opened it up to see a huge black line down the hinge. I am still clueless as to how it happened. In all my years using a smart phone I have never had screen damage as I use the most protective cases and don't drop my phone often. I did not want to chance it again so recently traded for a S22 Ultra which feels just like a Note. I still love the idea of foldable phones with huge inner displays but durability is still a major issue. I will wait for Samsung to figure it out and try again in a few years.
thanks your reply made me change my mind so going with S22 ultra
Same here. The inside screen of the fold 3 is weak.
Waiting for the dust resistant feature. So going for s22 ultra, your experience just made my decision solid 😝
Very nice presentation and articulation and explanation of features I definitely will be subscribing to you and following you for further tech info I appreciate it I for one have my eye and heart out for the ultra 22 then I'm hoping to get very very soon but this is really good thank you again and I'll see you next time 🙏💚💚💚✊
Honestly love that the phone goes from a smaller screen to bigger. I have the s22ultra and there are times I wish I could just make the screen smaller for my small hands or to hold my phone. You get the best of both with this phone
Great video, were can i downloads those wallpapers?
Samsung has a mother's day special where they are giving 1k for the Z Fold 3 AND a free memory upgrade. I had been debating the switch on S22 launch but glad I held off as this is a better offer. I love my fold but im sick of the crease which has gotten deeper and more noticeable the longer ive had the phone. Dropped it once and it got 2 dead pixels. The selfie camera is actually atrocious and battery life isnt great. Also, finding a decent case for this phone is like looking for the lost city of Atlantis. No good way to store the S-Pen and most apps are still not optimized for this aspect ratio so everything looks weird. Front screen is practically unusable because of how slim it is and while I love how it feels in hand it's really hard to type especially with a case on. Writing this made me realize there's a lot more about the Fold I didnt like than I realized and I'm glad I pulled the trigger on the S22 Ultra.
You just said my mind. I ordered the s22 Ultra mother's day special today. Nice review!!
@@xcalzyzazamine comes in Friday! I'll update with which I end up keeping
Since I got my Z fold 3 6 months ago I've never looked for any other smartphone. Had S10+ before and 13pro afterwards (which drove me crazy with its OS) and then switching to this brick. The extra screen size does matters. I had some afterthoughts about the battery but for me it does the day without an issue. And if you spend 6h+ on your phone daily, then you're cleary addicted and should seek for help :D
5:00 impressive shot 😯
The edge that the s22ultra offers isn't enough to make me like it more. I actually have the fold 2. I'm extremely happy with it. I'll never go back to the slab. I'm in all the way when it comes to a phone/tablet. It's just worth it. I've had the fold 2 for over two years by the way. Never had any problems with durability. You just need to take care. Its not something you throw around, like the s6plus edge i used to have. Either way, its Samsung all the way for me. No more iphone crap. (Tom)
Love the video. Where did you buy the Samsung Fold 3 case with pen holder? Please give a link Thank you!
Thanks so much Christian - I added a link in the description for you. Hope that helps! Thanks for being part of the channel!
@@TechGearTalk wow! Thank you and love your vibe and channel. Keep it up 🤗💕
in the UK the phone came with the free fold pen and case you can claim it upon purchase, I personally use the spen pro as I use my phone a lot for work and surveys and it's fantastic.
First and foremost, thank you for your interesting comparison on these 2 Premium phones. . .
I personally don't think you can really compare the 2 devices up against each other as one being better than the other.
My reason is simple, it comes down to Form & Function.
I also don't necessarily agree with your slandering of the Fold 3 as it honestly made me think you were comparing the S22 to a galaxy S7...
Again in my opinion the Fold 3 is way ahead of the S22 Ultra in most aspects (unless you a professional photographer, but even then you would be using a DSLR or something similar anyway) and be it new Premium Phone with fresh marketing, what with a newer camera & chip and and and... found on the S22 Ultra
(most of which is alot of sales jargon anyway whenever any new flashy Premium Phone hits the market)
What annoys me most is when these tech giants launch any new phone the way they compare it to their previous model and actually try fool us into thinking WoW my phone feels old now...
Well they not fooling me and anyone who's on the same page as me on this will agree...
I bet if Samsung and Google never stopped support for our "older" arcaic devices that they would be more than sufficient for our everyday chenanigans, older chip and all...
At the end of the day nobody in their right mind is going to do whatever it is they do on their S22 Ultra and say "WoW this is so much faster then my old Fold 3" or be it even older devices that are still receiving security and software updates.
Thank you for reading ...
I agree with you. The Galaxy Z Fold3 is in a league of its own and is more exciting than the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The fact that this device can be used as a phone and tablet is a major selling point. You make a good point when it comes to the cameras. The cameras on the Z Fold3 could be better, but are not dealbreakers since I use a mirrorless camera anyway. I would have considered the S22 Ultra if it had expandable memory. Since Samsung is doing away with the microSD card slot, it is time to move on from the S series.
@@markclayburne5805 Thanks Mark 😊
I totally agree with you. You are brilliant!
Very well said. Z Fold 3 is a totally different league. If people want a slab phone, leave it there. PERIOD. Stop trying to put a skinny pen in this big phone. Technology is about improving and moving ahead. What is the point of making phones like this if you want to make it into what you already know. I went out on the limb and got the Z3. Love it. Yes outer display is small, but I didn't buy it to use 90%of the time for the outer display. Camera is worst in low light. But I have my old ultra 20 for occasions when I know I will take a lot pics. Other than that the camera is good for what the average person does. It would be so much more beneficial to have videos showing z fold 1 in 2022. Hinge/screen comparisons from then to now for consumers who may be interested in taking the leap into something different. Use these videos to do your research. These cell companies sponsor videos for a reason. Every 6 months, there is a new launch so now it's old device vs new device and why you should buy.
@@deebarn1 Agreed 💯%
Think I'll stick to the fold 3, I have small crack down the seam but I like the productivity of having a foldable in my pocket. I also like how it folds out large enough to read my Kindle comics on it so it doubles as a "kindle colour" for me. If the next generation has an internal storing s-pen, a better folding screen, front s-pen supporting screen (even after 10+ months I keep forgetting the pen doesn't work with the front screen grrrrr.....), and a updated processor/gpu then that would be enough for me to upgrade and I normally upgrade every 2 years.
Dumb question, how do you do that multi-screen setup shown in this video? This might be handy when logging into something along with my password store and 2FA sitting side by side.
Great review. Thanks. Also, how do I split the screen on the ultra.
🙂
May I ask what wallpaper is on the phones?
Thank you. My fold3 inner screen is shot. Just ordered the s22u. Great reviews. I will def miss the big screen but brighter denser more durable screen will be appreciated. Nice to see benchmarks and battery comparisons.
Samsung gives 220 bucks when trading cracked fold 3 for refurbed s22u making it about 400 for the base model after other discounts.
S22 Ultra is a far superior phone, yet the Fold 3 is more expensive. Makes little sense to get the FOLD. The only thing that does extra is it "folds"
Another great video brother!
Thanks so much, Chad 🙏🏻
Waiting on s22 ultra to send my z fold 3. I got bored of it and i hate the battery on it. Amazing phone but battery ruins the experience if you are a heavy user
Great video as always.Keep up the great work. I enjoyed your video because I have the z Fold 3 but considering the S22Ultra. Hard to make up your mind. On one hand I'm using the zFold 3 close more than open, but when I open it, "wow". And on the other hand the S22Ultra is less bulkier with a great screen with a S-PEN and great looking. Hard desition. Meanwhile thank you for continuing puting out great videos.
I’m so glad the video was helpful. I like your approach to decision-making because you’re basing it on your actual use case and behavior. Thank you for being part of the channel! 🙏🏻
Cool wallpapers, where'd you get them
The smaller, sharper edges and the Spen fall as something with better productivity than the Z Fold 3's large screen.
Got the fold a couple weeks ago, while it is a really nice phone and love the bigger display. Numerous apps I use aren't optimized for it, battery life is pretty bad (most days it can't make it through a full day of light to moderate use) and there's concerns about the durability of the inner display. Considering returning it for the s22u
Do it.

Yet here I am using an S22 Ultra after the fold 3. Cameras plus the better in built S pen makes it worth it over a larger more fragile display.
I agree with @HelloThere
The Galaxy Fold is uncompareable to any ordinary slab phone FACT
And if you buying a phone based on the camera, you buying the wrong brand...
@@rox-star Wrong brand? It's not just the camera it's the better battery life better chipset in display fingerprint scanner better face scanning better fast charging much less bulky in built S Pen with more functionality than the fold Pen more durability and better cameras (idk what's bad about better cameras Samsung makes the best cameras now imo). I really enjoyed the fold 3 when I had it but as cool as the folding mechanism is when I really thought about it I only had the phone for 2 reasons, 1 was the "cool factor" and 2 was a larger screen. Speaking in terms of pure functionality a bigger screen for me just wasn't worth sacrificing all the other things I listed, and the S22 Ultra still has a pretty big screen so unless you absolutely need a bigger screen in your pocket I don't see any real good reason to get the fold and that's after a good year of using them (had the fold 2 and fold 3). Just my experience and opinion.

Each to their Own. . .
If in your opinion the Fold is so BAD then why did you get a Fold3 after the Fold2?
Over and above your opinion of how Crap the Fold 3 is I would like to add I am not one who gets brainwashed by the manipulative marketing ploys used whenever a new flagship phone is launched.
All phones are limited in what they can do as they curb the performance lowering the percentage of power available anyway!
I already had issues with the Fold 2 and Fold 3. Had to send them both to repair after approx 4-6 months of use. They are still not reliable. Better stick to traditional slab phones till few more generations of foldables come out. The great advantage of Fold 3 is the screen real estate that really enables notes BUT the S pen case and implementation makes the phone much bulkier. Lastly, the Fold 3 is nearly incapable for car mounts especially if you have an S Pen case on unless you can find a very specialised mount.
I found one. But of course I take the back case off which isn’t a hassle at all.
owned fold 1 2 and now 3 don't think I could go back to a normal/boring looking phone anymore absolutely love my fold 3 for content/gaming and how it feels being held in 2 hands, looking forwards to the fold 4.
Such a shame Samsung introduced a cutting edge technology such as the fold 3 with balls camera.
The Ultra is not an S phone. It's the Note22 that was supposed to be released. Plus the phone literally has folding glass. That alone is worth more than a standard S.
If you are a rough user I advise the s22.. The z3 can't take continuous gaming tabbing on the screen it kind of goes nuts.. Over all the ultra is a better phone more practical.. My opinion 😊
Sir which best buy
Great comparison! First time I'm seeing one of your videos. I'll subscribe right away so I don't miss any of your new videos and to not forget to watch some other ones that I haven't seen yet at a later time
So glad you liked the video. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Which application for wallpapers ?
Im a note user, and also a fold 3 user..so no..
Theyre not phones for different people...theyre just phones
For someone who hasn't used a Samsung device since the S4 (long term One Plus user at the moment) I would have to say if given a choice, purely for business productivity, I would gladly choose the Fold 4 (eagerly awaiting it's release hopefully in August/September) Might grab one, especially since it's gonna have that productivity s-pen slot built right in + with an improved camera! The S22 Ultra is a great device, but where i'm at at the moment, Exynos is the only option which is a rip off. Rather wait & take the plunge with the Fold 4. (Buy it nice or buy it twice, shades of TGT)
The fold 4 will be announced August 10 if you reserve now you will get an additional Samsung credit
Can you please share the links of that wallpapers
For me Z Fold 3 is a prototype of something which in the future will be the phone I will go for. For now I decided to buy S22 Ultra and I love it. But having a bigger screen would be a great thing. I would like to see built-in S-Pen (a bulky cover with S-Pen slot does NOT do the trick), slightly different screen ratio (briefly speaking, when folded I would like the Z Fold phone to have similar screen ratio to the slab phones and this would also nicely changed the screen proportions when unfolded - would make it more like for a tablet) and a better camera system (does not have to have UDC but a camera system that is comparable to S22 Ultra would be a nice thing). I am hoping that the Z Fold 5 will have all these improvements. Until then I'll stick with S22 Ultra....
Like your thoughts..and heck yeah it should have a built in pen!
how good do you think is s22 ultra is good for pdf reading in horizontal mode
Only switching my Z Fold 3 for the Z Fold 4.
That's fair.
ABSOLUTELY THE ONLY WAY!
Where can I get the wallpapers in the video ?
I love your wallpapers!! Where can i get this?
Trying to get a Z Fold 2 at the moment, so I can do my deliveries and what not. Change it into tablet mode for maps, and then close it to use the camera to deliver an order.
I use both, fold 3 for the huge screen and cool factor but S22 ultra for cameras and S pen. Why choose only 1 when you can have the best of both worlds?
Because the cost of both phones ends up being the equivalent of a beater Honda Civic 😅 more power to you tho
You are so rich.
I cant imagine people using 2 smartphones
@@ravage842 He is a business man probably
Where do you get your wallpapers from?
Hi
I am using note 20 ultra now.I am confused should I buy s22 ultra or fold 3 as my 2nd phone ?
Hey there! If finances weren't a concern, would you ever see yourself owning both? I feel like they both serve plenty of overlap, but shine in their more unique features.
Link for wallpapers on thumbnail?
I’m not gonna lie, I’d buy an S22 ultra that would fold to double it’s size…the phone size doesn’t bother me
Where can I find the wallpapers on your devices on the thumbnail please
I have an S21Ultra and I am eligible to upgrade to either device. I chose to not do it for the sake of the very difficult choices. While I want compactness which I'll get from the fold, I also just don't want to sacrifice performance which I'll get with the s22 Ultra. The camera specs aren't great for the fold 3, but the s22 ultra is big, bulky, and uncomfortable to hold sometimes. The fold is like 1500-1800 dollars which I feel just isn't ideal to purchase when the device is far from perfected and the s22 Ultra is hundreds cheaper. It's all about what you are looking for honestly. I decided to not go with either because they are both extremely great devices that will be relevant for years to come, but neither were enough for me to go for it. Amazing devices, but there's too many pros and cons and the two do not compromise.
Honestly dont think you sacrificing any performance with the Fold 3 whatsoever,
all these flagship phones are only capable of processing up to a limit and most of us have to enable power saving as well as configure many other battery saving settings which all slow the performance of the processor down anyway, just so we can get any kind of decent battery life anyways, so don't let all that sales tech jargon get to your head, there's only so much any chip can do pro-rata to its power source, that being the battery. The faster the chip the more battery consumption.
It's the review I have been waiting for!! 😊😊 Ultra it is then. I will come back to the FOLD3 once the new Fold4 is released. Let's hope they increase the front screen width!
**SPELLING CORRECTED**
Glad it was helpful, Darren. Appreciate you being part of the channel!
Most welcome very good videos indeed. I just realised the typos in my comment, and that's because I was using that smaller front screen of the fold 3 😂
Agree with you. I do hope samsung will release fold4/5 with normal width front screen and thinner frame. I tried the fold3 at store and love the 2-in1 option but the front screen & battery is a deal breaker. Since samsung did not release Galaxy S Tab Mini, this is the only option..
@@asifyusoff5377 they've never had a mini in the tab s line up. You can go for the a7 lite yea you dont get an s pen with it but it does pretty much everything the s line up does but its small enough to carry around without the size being a problem.
Excellent video and the dogs are gorgeous 😍
Great video! Where did you get your wallpaper?
Thanks Jose - I made them with vector graphics I had.
Theyre awesome!
Please let me know if you share them anywhere.
A premium phone with a still present crease on the screen. Seems this fault is now standard rather than getting rid of it as models progress. Fact being it requires a spring loaded stylus nib says it all for durability.
I am confused between the fold 3 and the s22 ultra I want the fold 3 but I am worried because a lot of owners are complaining about the screen protector damaging the screen what should I do
Great devices, but it is much better to get an IPad mini or similar and the S22 Ultra. I'm currently using the Mini plus a Note 20 Ultra.
Aside from that, battery drain is a huge issue. Not to mention that the display in the Fold is much less resilient than the Ultra.
Thank you for being sharing your perspective.
@@TechGearTalk my pleasure 🎩👌
Good combo.
You also dont need a car, you can buy 2 motorcycles and drive them side by side

Fold 3 has been a great experience as my first flag ship. So much you can do makes it worth the money.
You did not mention it, but I am guessing that neither phone has a micro SD slot? That is the one thing that has kept me from upgrading from my S9+. In part, because of the arrogance of Samsung of forcing the customer into a more expensive model to get more storage space.
Just like apple
I love my s9+
My Z fold 3 is the best had since launch it's been a beast very durable only thing wears out is the inter screen protector easy replace after 6 months with whitestone only now 17.00 was 59.00 on Amazon. The best was so far is the Z fold 3 biggest screen for playing games video. Well the Fold also is using Diamond pixels new technology.
What would you be doing that you are worried about the battery life on any phone? Do people not know how to plug a phone in when you're near a charger? I use my phone quite a bit all day and I never have an issue with battery. Ever.
