[SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FOLD 3 REVIEW]
I didn't realize how irreversibly changed I'd been by folding smartphones … until one of them broke on me.
As I covered back in April, the screen on my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 spontaneously spawned some cracks at the crease, their jagged edges reminding me with each swipe how precarious my seven-month-old daily driver had suddenly become.
To its credit, Samsung repaired my phone at no cost, with a minimum of fuss: a quick couple calls and a trip to the UPS store got me a fully-fixed Fold 2 returned to me in one week. And while I worry that a similar failure might befall my Galaxy Z Fold 3 (for reasons we’ll talk about), that experience ultimately only reinforced my commitment to foldables. See, each of the seven days I was without my Fold 2 felt less productive, and more frustrating … because I genuinely couldn't do as much on a conventional phone.
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 only adds more features to Samsung's foldable family, and it does so for $200 less than last year's sticker price. That makes it my next daily driver, and my new recommendation for anyone who wants to get the most from a mobile phone. I'm Michael Fisher; join me for MrMobile's Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 Review.

I left a lot of day-to-day details on the cutting room floor this time around - and as usual, David Cogen put 'em all into his Real World Test! 😂 Check it out for info on pocketability, Labs, more battery life testing ... and the coincidental appearance of one of the camera test shots I found in Williamsburg as well! ruclips.net/video/qshYodlGfXw/видео.html
maybe samsung can opt the user to use dex when unfold. i dont know, still waiting for my preorder.
foldable smartphones are kind of stupid, its literally just a phone and a tablet on the back, so you can literally have a great phone with you,and then a cheap tablet on the side
@@darknessviking So it's stupid to have two devices in one, but not stupid to carry 2 devices with you at all times, one of which is a huge tablet.
Who is the lady at 8:32? Does she have a RUclips channel? Great video. 👍
The end screen video suggestion looks much better and cleaner this time
I really love Michael's take on the Z Fold 3 unlike some who largely base their judgement off of specs and activities that barely show the capabilities of the Fold.
You should watch flossy Carter be really brakes it down past specs to show what it's really like to live with these devices
@@fullweezy3553 Carter's videos are enormous halftime videos and that's what turns me off... it's easy to make an analysis with a 30 - 40 minute video. Mr Mobile's videos aren't that long but they are to the point.
@@panathatube mobile for short form. Floss for long form. You're welcome.
@@kensebben1 An even better idea is to see 3 or 4 videos with different perspectives instead of 1 long one. You're welcome.
You are ryt
I feel the same way as you. Foldables make the split screen abilities of Android actually usable. Can't wait for my Fold3.
Oh yeah you are going to love it!
I've been using split screen almost everyday since it came out, on normal phones
It's fantastic
@@-aexc- usable but not really usable.
@@-aexc- Same
“Cash soaked Gen Z Carnival” Hysterical!
That is all.
Many of the major outlet reviews seem to be focusing hard on the wrong things, especially the Engadget one. You truly focus on what makes it great without ignoring its flaws. Perfectly balanced review. I truly can identify with every word.
Finally made the fold purchase since I had to replace my iPad. I couldn't imagine going back to carrying two devices.
Big same
@nehem Get AirMessage!
@@thesailboatking but need server settings. Any guess what's this.
@@nak141 they have a whole guide on the website
@nehem Sharing info between apple devices is what has kept me from leaving the ecosystem, but the function of the Fold may sway me enough to take the ass chewing from my wife and her family.
This is why you're one of my favorite RUclipsr, the video is just so damn detailed and entertaining, awesome stuff bud!
Indeed, he is one of best reviewers with passion for tech instead of a sellout Apple product pusher like most of the big ones. (He would get more subs doing the latter, but would sacrifice integrity in the process)
Micheal is truly my favourite "RUclips"
Agreed. Mr. Mobile needs more followers and deserves so much more credit that he's already getting.
Love these "in the wild" style reviews! Including video and audio samples makes it even better. Keep up the good work as always.
True Word ❤️❤️❤️
PLEASE can we talk about the almost poetic alliteration sprinkled throughout the entire video? Genius writing as always
Makes one want to listen to the whole review !
Right? It's almost enchanting
It's literally so bad. He's trying way too hard to sound eloquent and so his word choices don't even make sense half the time. Pretentious and annoying.
@@hypotheticaltapeworm Wow! this is literally the first time I see someone who doesn't like Michael's narration. Too bad for you.
@@wassim189 I too agree with Aaron. Michael does try too hard to come off sophisticated....
I work in mobile repair, and have seen a couple Fold 2s come thru my store. Every time I was enamored by it. I was already on the fence about buying one for myself, but seeing it and holding it for myself confirmed for me that I wanted one. I got my 3 a couple days ago and find it to be worth every cent, even at the steep-ish asking price.
Do you happen to know the cause of Fold 2 self-cracking folding display? Ist wide spread?
I'm considering one however worried about the longevity of the screen.
@@ahmedp800 it's not wide spread and I can't really tell you what the reason is but I assume some massive dirt comes into the hinnge and causes it to crack when you fold it I assume
@@ahmedp800 Any phone will break. Your focus should be on how the manufacturer treats customers who need repair.
Every single Fold repair story I've heard including Mr Mobile's is a quick call and a replacement or fix.
No genius telling you that it's totalled and you might be better off buying a new one.
And then there's Flossy who handles his devices and both his Fold and Flip from last year are more than fine.
My housemate and I both bought one (I bought mine after testing his). I love this thing. The crease bothered me at first, especially from an angle, but turning it sideways I forgot all about it, even looking for it. The quality of the display colors truly impressed me. The depth of the colors, especially the black was bluffing. The autonomy is.pretty good. I shared the connection to my tablet and I'm still at 56% after a 12 hour day.
It was strain on my finances, even paying in 4 go's, but as someone who watches a lot of RUclips and streaming on the go, it's a damn fine investment.
@vTJArie11 i occasionally notice it when the light shines on it, the rest of the time I completely forget it's there until I feel it under my finger
@vTJArie11 I bought mine last week, isn't weird that we come back to watch reviews on the thing we already researched and then bought beforehand xD
The crease doesn't bug me, brain just kinda blends it away, though under bright lights it is obvious and takes getting used too
@@Novashadow115 you're just a human we are all humans me is human
How is it holding up now ? Any issues ?
@@Novashadow115 How us it holding up ? Any issues ?
Thank you Michael! All these reviewers complaining about having a hard time typing using the front screen and you show them that swiping to type (which I keep telling people) is the way to go. It's so easy and intuitive.
Watching the movie.. I mean video from start to finish, is a rare feat for me. Detailed with honesty and integrity. He's a league of his own.
You think 16 minutes is a movie? Guess my hour long game plays are way too long.
Usually Flossy Carter's reviews are the ones I look forward to the most, of course Mr. Mobile is right near the top as well... But when it comes to foldables, MR. MOBILE is always my most anticipated review!
Grab your popcorn and thought juice...Ladies grab your baby oil...🤣🤣
Shoutout to white shoes
Flossy is awesome! Love his no-nonsense style but Mr. Mobile is excellent as well!
Agree 💯 even though Flossy has white shoes I wish he'd take devices out into the wild more
lol exactly … we all go there for his reviews but we really want to see White Shoes
I am absolutely in love with my fold 3. Its such a great device, if they can just make the next version's screen more durable and overall lighter weight, itd be perfect.
Wider and a place for pen that would be my only change. I love mine as well
@@hugopaz5220 It's called 21:9 aspect ratio like the Mate X2.
Z Fold 2 and 3 have garbage aspect ratios.
Waiting for Samsung to release one of these two Bi-Fold beasts instead: 😎

No jack in alla that space
I broke my personal rule of not buying flagships the calendar year after they launch when I bought a Silver Fold3. The Fold is replacing an iPhone 13 Pro as my daily driver - after 12 years of using an iPhone and a cheap Android. I've moved into the fold full time - I keep an iPhone for my Apple Watch but the future as I see it will be on a Fold from now on - foldables are the future
Agreed I have a iPhone 13 Pro max but I just bought the Fold 3 a month ago, and to me this phone is so good I've literally kept my iPhone in its original box and stored it in my drawer. Most likely will sell it but still holding onto it, despite that I completely enjoy this phone. I don't think I'll upgrade unless Apple makes a iPhone fold or if the Fold 4 is somehow wayyy better than the Fold 3. Either way I'm content with this phone for the foreseeable future 🙂
13:36 THIS! This is why MrMobile is excellent. This use case is something I regularly struggle with using my phone/ipad. Also, the signing documents part. But no one seems to mention these real life scenarios in reviews except Mr Mobile. So glad to see this is possible in the Fold. I’m going to save up for the nth gen so I can ditch my current phone + ipad setup.
The only Fold 3 review I care about. SuperSaf was great too with his to be fair.
Floss his review is good too
@@hugopaz5220 I don't waste my time with him.
@@hugopaz5220 Agreed
Floss reviews are boring template crap. Seen one seen all.
@@tldr365 it's the more type of person he is than the reviews the self
I’m deep in the Apple ecosystem but, damn, these foldable phones make Android look so alluring.
If it's not a task you can get one and use it with your apple phone
I switched from apple last year after 10 years with them. Best decision ever made. I started with the note 20. I wanted the fold 2 so bad. But I wanted to start small and get to know android first. Now I have the fold 3 and I'm never going back to apple.
I have had every iPhone since the 4S and currently I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max and I plan on getting the fold 3 tomorrow. iPhone 13 has done the bare minimum update. Fold 3 looks amazing and ready to try something truly new and innovative
@@gregpfaff349 the cameras on the iPhone 13 are awesome but a little beyond even what the techiest person like myself needs. This is the first time since my my first iPhone, the Verizon 4s, that I didn’t order. I don’t know that I’d fully convert but I am considering picking up one of the foldables and rotate with my 12 Pro Max.
@@76williamsbh I think I’m gonna do it and get the fold 3 tomorrow. Worst case when I upgrade in a year I’ll go back to apple if I don’t like it I guess
I just got my Fold a few days ago. Absolute game changer! Closing the phone is SOOOO satisfying. I don't think I could go back to a slab.
I appreciated the start trek references, especially your self doodle of the LCARS.
I was just thinking that too.
Exactly what I've been waiting for, the review from the true folding phone expert of RUclips. I now feel completely justified in making the pre-order. Can't wait to get mine!
Thing is, you shouldn't have to justify your purchase based on what any RUclipsr thinks.
You should buy any product you want and try it out for yourself and if you don't like it then you can return it for a full refund.
It's not difficult.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M That's true except the fact that Michael Fisher is not any youtuber :)
@@wassim189 I'm a bigger fan of his than YOU. 😂😂😂
It doesn't change the fact of what I said. Too many people wrongfully rely on OTHER people to influence their opinion on something whether it's a movie, TV show, video game, TV purchase, smartphone purchase, etc. Watch something yourself. Play the game yourself. Use the device yourself and form your own opinion on it.
Returns exist for a reason. If I want to see what having a dual-screen phone like the Surface Duo or LG V60 is like, I'll buy both and try them out and see if I like either of them and/or see which one fits my needs.
Same goes for foldable phones. If I have the Z Fold 2 but want to see if the Z Fold 3 is a big enough improvement, I can try the phone at a store or buy it myself and use it for a week and return it if I don't like it.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M I think it's perfectly reasonable to want a device (hence why I pre-ordered before this review or any other review went up) and use the reviews of RUclipsrs (who have way more experience with smartphones than I do) to support that opinion.
I've also consumed opinions and reviews from a heap of other sources to decide on whether the Fold 3 was going to be good for me, but this review is the one I was waiting for because Mr Mobile is the most day to day authentic review experience I have found.
Out of every fold 3 review I watched. This was well detailed, video detailing the fold itself and well very entertaining
Actually just picked my Z Fold 3 up yesterday, I'm absolutely loving it!
Update: the battery is actually terrible
Love your videos man. Appreciate your selection of natural area and your own apartment rather than studio for shooting videos. Video looks so lively and doesn't look like an announcement. Best reviewer in tech!
Ordered my Fold 3 a week or two ago after all your coverage of the Fold 2 and the initial thoughts you had. Arrived yesterday, replacing my S10+ and whoah is it so much MORE than any of my previous phones. Glad this review only confirms that 🙂
Always best in detail review 👍🏼
This is why you're my favorite techtuber, you really now how to make a review... I need a tablet without the compromise of the size and i think I'll shoot for this one
MrMobile. You are in a league of your own.Honesty & genuine reviews ALWAYS
i just really admire how much of a trekkie AND techie you are.~
Another informative and well presented review 👍👍I took the plunge and received my fold 3 Thursday. Traded in my Note 20 ultra and ordered S pen and case, watch and ear buds using the $200 credit......so far so good.... thanks for all the great information 👍
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is going to be my first foldable device and I can't wait to finally pick mine up from AT&T. As usual Michael's reviews are the always my favorite.
How do you like it so far?
I keep lovin’ the video format “out and about with MrMobile”
You Are Not Alone On This One❤️❤️👍👍👏
I’m still really satisfied with my Fold 3, the amount of features this thing has is simply insane. It’s camera however isn’t really the best, which really doesn't bother me as I’m always carrying either my Leica CL or FujiFilm X-Pro 3 in my bag.
man, i forgot how incredible your reviews are! your scripts are always top notch, keep it up!
I really love you samsung fold reviews. that is the reason why I purchased a zfold3 and now waiting for the zfold4
Great review. Can see your passion for tech has not dropped one bit!
I would say that I’m not yet convinced about the foldables Yet, however it’s time will come. I look forward to your reviews then as I do now! 😃
I just got one. It is the closest feeling I've had to "first smartphone ever" since, well...my first smartphone ever.
Watching your videos, just made me curious about mobile phones. I am truly loving ,how you show the technology was, now and going ..❤
I like how personable and honest your reviews and adverts feel. 🙌
Wow man.
Editing, transitions, music.
Great content.
I really enjoy your videos. The reviews, the series with the old phones especially. I like how they are quite focused on real world use and not spec sheets.

What a beautifully made video. Kudos my friend!
Dude, your videos are literally the most enjoyable tech videos out there. They are like mini documentaries plus sol clips 😂
What a nonstop, absolute showcase of excellent editing and direction over a video just pouring excellent B-roll and tech nerd entertainment. Mr. Mobile's masterpieces just always seem to top the last and I can never get enough.
This was insanely fun to watch. Thanks, Mr. Mobile! :)
Yup❤️❤️❤️❤️ FUN FUN FUN😍😍
My favorite tech reviewer! Love seeing your trips to the city. It makes me miss NYC. Also loved seeing Daniel Rubbino in your vid. Big fan of him and Zacks content at Windows Central
I recently got my Galaxy z fold 3, 4 days ago and I love it. There is no way I would ever go back to a regular conventional phone. I love your video of how you explain everything and all this special features. I'm still learning mine. But I subscribe to see more of your videos.
I love how you use swipe on the front display. Other reviewers I've watched complain that they hit the wrong buttons when typing. Swipe, a gift from above!
Thanks Michael for this very informative video!! I ordered the green one with 512GB for myself. Getting it in a few days. I had already the Fold 2 for a month some time ago. I'm really excited! So the battery life is not too bad? I also want to sell my iPad to do all tablet things with one device. I want to point out your always top of the line professional videos which I (and many others) appreciate very much! And already for many years! Greetings from The Netherlands!
This is the best ZFold3 review so far! I really appreciate your work on foldables!
Legit can't get enough of this channel keep up the great work Mr.Mobile !
Just found your channel. Really enjoy your content. Particularly how you scripts and narration are more of a story you tell vs just talking to the camera about your opinions. Definitely checking back in when new content drops.
I'm quite impressed by the cameras. They are pretty good!
Love your outdoor reviews of real life scenarios. Keep it going, friend
Took delivery of mine this week and echo all of this! Another great review, thanks Michael
Great video detailing the fold 3. That sponsorship segment is the smoothest on your.
Also, good to see the Windows Central guy. A big fan
Best Tech reviewer on RUclips, period.
Michael must have a good life. Riding on yachts, going to fancy coffee shops and diners, hanging out with friends ALL THE TIME. He's like a much less annoying Instagram influencer.
Has the courage to run his own business and hard work no doubt.
You are the first youtuber to not complain abt the front screen of the fold. Awsome content
I finally got my fold 3 on Wednesday and I love this phone and I'm really enjoying it... so happy with this phone
That's Nice ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
To be able to watch this video on my z fold 3 is a blessing, loving my first fold so far.
Same
Great video, Fold 3 is the first ever all in one device, phone + tablet + pc (Dex). It is amazing how far mobile devices have gone. The price here is really justified and Samsung even dropped it by 200.
Youre the only RUclipsr of whom I even watch the sponsor ads lol
As usual, great job. Youre a natural talent with that stuff.
Refreshing, friendly and yet very professional. You truly are one of the best reviewers on RUclips, and my go to source of info before I decide to splurge on something. Pls keep it up MrMobile
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! The narrow screen is actually an ergonomic width like pre 2015 phones. All those reviewers trying to type with 2 hands with no swiping are stuck in 2010!
I always use swipe feature... so much easier
@@cpoux8652 It's nice if you only have one hand free, but it is easier to make typing mistakes.
@@biggiesmalls7939 the smaller display is great for it. I really have no complaints
The side task bar may be the best improvement in mobile interface i've ever seen, for multitasking and productivity... I hope it kinda evolves into something similar to KDE's Plasma panels or the like!
Dude! You're good. The best reviewer I've met. You know what's interesting is that this is my second video I'm watching and it happens I couldn't help but subscribed after I watched the first video I encounter (lenovo X1 Fold).
Your opening remarks is just catching! (Very few seconds of opening remarks which summarise the whole review). It so well put that you have to view the whole review.
Good work. Keep it up.
As always, fascinating script and best in the game review from THE BEST. Thanks Michael
Using my Z Fold 3 to watch this video now lol but seriously, worth every penny. I don't think I could go back to a regular slab phone. And the tech is only going to get better from here.
👍I'm ready Mr. Mobile🤗
The details to your videos are so good. New fan here.
Best review so far. I was waiting for it. No useless nitpicking. & also 16minutes long.
I hear you mate, you are not alone! Luckily we have you to brighten up our moody days. Sending positive vibes from down under🖖🏻
Just got my first fold today and i m already loving it
Wanted to make a comment about your fold 3 review but MAN WHAT A HAIRCUT 👏🏻
I’m always wondering why you only have 1+ M subscribers. By looking at the quality of your videos, which are probably my favorite yt videos overall, I’d think of 10M subs easy!
A self healing plastic screen or glass panels on the fixed sides and a folding middle crease would be nice! 😬
Plastic screens feel like absolute fucking mushy ass compared to UTG. Shit recommendation was shit. 🤷 Second recommendation is technologically impossible.
@@Cooe. Sure, boss sir!
Mr Mobile publishes, I watch. Also, never thought I would endorse a creators sponsor, but Hello Fresh truly is awesome. We already love cooking, but HF’s recipes are just outstanding and uses spices that we would never think to use. Anyway…. Waiting for an foldable since I’m entrenched in the ecosystem. Oh well. Cool phone…..erm….tablet. 😐
One of the best reviews of the fold 3 on RUclips :) loved yours and Floss's....Subscribed...
SUBSCRIBE ❤️❤️❤️😍😍👍👍👍👍
Brother, there is no one better than you on RUclips when it comes to mobile reviews. I have been subscribed to you for the last 3 years. You are amazing. God bless you.
Watching this on the Fold 3.
Hopefully next year the pen will have a place to live... I could imagine that Samsung would make the fold little bit wider, just tiny bit so the pen could be fitted inside of it.
Always one of the most accurate reviews for end users. Thanks
Another superb review from the man single handedly driving the mass adoption of foldables! Love your fold series and thanks for this great review also - I’ve bought the fold 3 and got the spen and case free from Samsung
Can we take a moment to appreciate the cinematography on this review!
I get my Z fold 3 tomorrow :) I just played around with one today at AT&T and I'm honestly so pumped.
And I see we both got the same color! How do you like the silver?
This is the first review I've watched that doesn't feel like you had a prior agenda, excellent stuff. You've swayed me towards the Z fold 3 😁
Great review every in-depth loved the camera comparisons shows differences very clearly. Plus use of laptop mode.
Got mine on wednesday. I love it! Now hoping it lasts 3 years haha
I can't afford anything you ever show lol but I love watching all you're videos regardless, they are just so well made.
Man why have I never come across this channel!? I love my usual favourite reviewers like Sakitech and probably my favourite Flossy Carter but this review was great! Done perfectly and covering all aspects quite fair. Nobody is talking about using it as a potential second monitor etc! Great work man and you've gained a new subscriber 👍👍
TRUE ❤️❤️❤️ SUBSCRIBE 👍😍👍❤️
You are a GOAT at this man. So much useful information both positive and the short comings. I think it's you and MKBHD Jordan and Lebron interchangeable to either spot.
Dude i love folding phones i have one (surface duo)
LET'S GOOOO
At least when you ‘folded’ you clearly did your research
I'm expecting more tech talk
Nice to see you on such an excellent reviewer!
Really enjoy watching ur videos and the unique take you have on the most common things in a phone
Love the vids had the first fold and got the second back in Feb. I can't wait to see the 4
I think removing the protective screen and not replacing it with another one quickly causes the cracking. The protective layer helps the glass longer. That's what I've found on my fold 2.
Michael... Thanks for bringing a different perspective into the review. This clearly shows the difference between someone who might have just reviewed one for few days vs someone who religiously uses one as a daily driver. Pls keep up the great work. Big fan of the MrMobile channel from India.
Watching my favorite tuber on my z fold 3....great review...as always.😊
Your video footage and editing is fantastic, good vision and production quality, it's not an easy thing to do and get right, especially on the go.
