That's interesting! I'm not 100% sure about what I want of I'm honest, I thought about it after posting the video, and actually I do think what they have now is probably more practical 🤔
I was really unimpressed with my note 20 ultra under screen scanner It was unreliable and slow. I just ended up using my pattern unlock most of the time. But with my fold 3 the physical scanner is extremely fast and reliable. Keep the physical scanner!
The S10 fingerprint scanner was bad. The s21 series/s22 series ultra sonic fingerprint scanner is actually really good. It's super fast and it's big enough where I never miss it. You can quickly tap it and it works. Super quick
It's not that fragile. People just expect it to be as durable as thick rigid glass. Which is impossible. The plastic screen protector helps with durability. Anyway treat it like you care about it and. It will be plenty durable and last as long as you want. Treat it like it's worthless, throw it around, set it on rocks, drop it 30 times a day due to Inability to multi-task. Then it will likely break.
I own the original Galaxy Fold and Fold 2.. to be honest I dont get it why you find it fragile.. Ive droped both phones a couple times from around 1.6 meters(5feet4) and nothing has happened to both of them. Of course I have cases on both.. working everyday on them for a few hours each and to be honest I'm happier with the inner screens even more than with my old conventional phones. At the end you use the inner when you need it not just open and close to see who messaged you while driving or when shoping groceries.
LOVE the narrow cover display on the fold 3. 1. The only flagship level phone with one handed typing. 2. Great to hold onto. 3. Makes the large internal screen worth it. 4. Help send out a word to Samsung. Though there's a need to optimise the aspect ratios.
My first choice for fingerprint scanners is rear-mounted because I can easily unlock it while (or whilst if you prefer} removing it from my pocket. Side-mounted is my second choice. At 73 years of age, the minutiae of my prints are worned down enough to often have problems with under-the-screen sensors; although i have had good luck with my 21FE and Tab S8+. BTW, I enjoy your videos, which I find fast-paced and informative.
No way, Samsung is increasingly being such a bitch it will not give u best of all worlds. Yes, no charger. no earphones, no sd card slot. To expect Samsung to put S22 ultra type of cameras on fold 4 is to ask it to cannibalise its own s22 flagship series. Even Huawei came up with a similar fold design phone fitted with s21 ultra camera setup last year. This shows that Samsung has the ability to do the same for fold 3 last year but nope, it refused to give it to us. Samsung Wan maximum profits so u hv to settle for either s22 ultra for top notch cameras or fold 4 with normal s22 cameras. Or get both models if ur pockets r deep enuff, which is my case. Lol
More speakers, better front screen size, better under display camera, cases to protect hinge, bigger battery, better inside screen protector cuz my started to pill up, and what else?
Sansung Z fold 3 unfoldable screen is too narrow to use with one hand. If you want to text a message with one hand and want to keep the phone in vertical position, it’s uncomfortable, and if you turn to horizontal position, it forces you to use both hands.
I think there is a good chance they may make an under display fingerprint reader for the outer display at least. I'm not so sure about the inner display though. Me personally I like the physical button more but the the display fingerprint sensor is more convenient when I had my note 20 ultra. Only improvements I'd like to see that would have me consider to upgrade is a bigger battery, s pen support on the cover display and a wider outer display.
Yeah you're right, I thought about it and the inner display fingerprint location does make sense really! A bigger battery is something that was spoken about in a few articles but there wasn't enough info to warrant putting it in this video, definitely something I'd like for the fold 4 though 👌
I will be really disappointed if they take away the power button fingerprint reader it just makes so much more sense to have it there then under the screen
increase the outer screen size will provide the space for in built s pen. come on Sammy. as a note fan, im holding my bullet for Fold4 instead of s22 ultra. don't disappoint me.
I hate the under display fingerprint readers. The note 8 and note 9 had it perfect beside the rear camera. With under display its an un natural location and always smudging up the screen. The you also get so many screen protectors that don't take your print well or they have a VERY UGLY circle cut out for your finger print. Physical print readers all the way!!!!!!
I'm using z fold 2 and I prefer physical fingerprints scanner on my fold 2 and a built-in s pen is very welcome but what I really want to see is a improve camera and a wider front screen with a shorter front screen while can still have a bigger inner screen simply by turning the phone to landscape
The inner screen should be getting bigger not smaller! The whole point of a foldable is to have a big screen that you can fold and pocket. The screen size should be at least the size of the iPad mini 5, 7.9 or even 8.3 like on the mini 6. I think 8” would be enough.
They will not make an under-display fingerprint scanner. That makes no sense. Why take a step back whey they have a multifunctional fingerprint scanner now
I really having a hard time... part of me want to upgrade my old note 8 to the fold 4 for when it comes out.. but it feels so far away... that I m getting a bit impatient and started looking at the fold 3. Knowing full well that if I get the fold 3 my chance of upgrading to the 4 will cost me a lot with my phone company.
For you I would try wait for the fold 4, the trade in deals for folding phones are rubbish so you really won't get much if you decide to go for the fold 3 then upgrade to the fold 4 - try hold out!
lol just searched for this review riding the same boat. I am sporting the note 8 and after so many years, now looks like its the right time to upgrade. Just cant decide if I should go for S22 Ultra or wait out for the next Fold 4.
@@Dam0nSingh thanks to Tech it easy, I was able to feel confident in my wait for the fold 4. The ultra looks great but... I dont see the use of the ultra camera.. I m not a big picture taking person.. and I would rather pay for the gimmick of the folding rather than the cameras.
Note 8 is really good , If you can I would suggest you keep it , and buy the Fold 4 stand alone . Always good to have a backup when moving to New technology.
I think the expectation of people are really crazy if they require better water or dust resistance from these phones. What should be expected from these fold/flip phones should be the crease. If OPPO is able to come up with a folding phone with 80% less visible crease, so should Samsung. General buyers need better display, better camera and better battery. They do not need phones to have dust/water resistance for shooting under water.
Agree with the crease, I think to me dust resistance is important, makes me feel safer I guess after buying a £1.5k phone, it's one less thing to worry about going wrong 😅😂
@@TechItEasyCollective Agreed, but still, the basic USP of the product was a folding display. If they improve on that vertical, I think their sales will increase drastically.
Dosen⁴I make sense to make the outer screen bigger and the inner screen smaller. Also the physical button to unlock the screen/phone works best to me. Also, if the s pen is housed, it will be much smaller than the current s pen for the z fold three. We need a bigger battery. 6k mah would be best. I'll take 5k mah battery size. Decrease the crease size. I read rumors that the battery would be smaller. That would be a disaster. They need to increase the outer screen size, size. I just don't see how samsung will make a s pen housing and keep the same size of the current S pen. And increase the battery size, camera size make a housing for the s pen and improve the camera size. Other foldable phones will do this with an s pen and will do a better job than samsung. Samsung will have to count heavily on those that are loyal to the brand.
It's about time to graduate from Note (using Note 10+) for Fold 4 nxt year. Just got my last OS upgrade and ready to upgrade even if it's more expensive as long as Z Fold will have; 4 years of OS support, S-Pen, better camera and battery life.
Love the idea of a fold...still...but unless they sort out a way to make the screen durable, I'll pass. I was standing in line at a haunted house last October. Several people had foldable phones and were using them while waiting. Every single one had a screen that looked like stretched out plastic. I'm gonna skip that phase. I'd be more interested in 2 nearly borderless screens that meet up nicely when folded out and maybe have a thin line you can see where they meet.
Cameras shouldn't be a big of a deal on these type of phones maybe the main screen camera and it doesn't really have to be a perfect under display even a punch hole is not really a lot if they want to go with the best they have. For the rest they can just go with what they already have on previous phones if they want. Power, battery life, main screen, and s-pen should be everything for these and personaly fingerprint on the power button is better than under display, but they could change the position.
My 15 year got the fold 3 for Christmas, after proving himself with a couple hand-me-downs. The reason I went with the fold 3 is because of the water resistance and dust protected hinge. It's not new on the version 4 fold. In fact, there's a reviewer that holds the 3 in a tub of water.
Wow I could have only dreamed about having a phone like this at 15, lucky lad! It's not new on the fold 4 no, the fold 3 is water resistant, but not dust, so I welcome any improvements in that department for the next version! - Thanks for watching mate, appreciate you sharing your thoughts as well! 🍻
@@TechItEasyCollective I wasn't responsible enough to have an $1,800 anything at 15. But he proved himself over n over on electronics. And thus far, I've not regretted that decision. Yes, I remembered the specs on the reviews I'd watched thinking the hinge was dust resistant as well on the 3. I was getting the idea from your review that both water and dust resistance was going to be new
here's what we need....... bring the phone back to $2000, and give us the Ultra series Cameras, the inner displays need to be 4k combined. rather than 2k. needs a space for the s pen. embrace the pen or dont. These are all i want. (this is assuming we get the snapdragon 8 gen 1 upgrade that im sure we will)
Wouldn't hold your breath for a larger cover display, also hoping for that myself, might be worth waiting for a rollable phone? 🤔 - Thanks for stopping by mate 🍻
if by any chance they would put a cheaper price only if they launch two folds .. fold 4 as a cheaper version and a fold 4 ultra with S.pen built in and ultra camera set up and more .. i think it would be better and most of users will afford the cheaper version .. and if you want to go high quality you go with the fold 4 ultra .. i hope they do that this year
Hoping they DON'T do this. They'd probably just use that as an excuse to jack up the price with the superior model while also being able to claim they reduced the price with the inferior version which will still be in the 4 digit range.
The current s pen they have was especially designed for the fold, it basically has a spring beneath the tip of the pen to relieve some of the pressure on the screen, so would assume they do something like that again!
A pen built in , s22 cameras👌🏼, I would totally ditch my iPhone for it , no under display cameras tho because they don’t have good quality I’ll take punch hole cameras 📸
Only reason i didn't pull the trigger on z fold 3 or any of them is the fold, i keep my pocket all the time, sand and pocket lints would get in-between the screen and rune it... for that i cant and won't buy one...
@Tech It Easy yes, if they are able to make the fold with stand sand a lint from getting between the screen, I'd definitely consider it, but also I'm hoping they add an spen to... i just picked up the s22 ultra, what a sweet piece of tech this one is!
Hope they leave the finger print reader alone I like it on the side

Totally agree, I have the S21 as well and much prefer the scanner as it is on the side of the fold.
@@AllForTheBetter the s21 series and s22 series fingerprint is better than the n20u. It's larger and faster
I hate underdisplay fingerprint sensors. They never worked most of time on my S10. The side mounted sensor works perfectly on my Z Flip 3.
Don't forget the heavy-duty phone cases with screen protectors that usually go bad because the fingerprint scanner being in the display!
@@Mr.DontKnow I never used any heavy duty case with screen protector... Trust me side mounted one is the best fingerprint sensor.
