  • The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is very much a refinement of what Samsung offered on the Z Fold 3. But are the differences significant enough to warrant buying it, or should you try and save money, and buy the older model instead?

    I am using the Z fold 3 right now! I'm watching this video! Which i only paid 400.00 for it. Again, I am very excited to say you are absolutely right. It's worth the wait for a lower price on this device. Thanks for sharing your awesome video.

    I have the z fold 3 256gb. I paid off half of my original price of $1,599.00. Was thinking of upgrading but with only $799 left till fully own device think I will wait for a z fold 5 to come out. Especially because this yr samsung site was offering a trade in value of $1000.00 for the z fold 2. I am hoping they offer the $1000.00 for my z fold 3 when the z fold 5 comes next yr. I appreciate your video . Helped me stick to my decision to wait till next z fold edition !

    I just purchased the z fold 3 in early Jan for my bday gift to myself, and I have been enjoying everything about it immensely. I upgraded from the s20 ultra. And I haven't missed my ultra as much as I expected since. The experience has been great. Also it just received android 13 also which has optimized the battery life and enhanced all it's capabilities and functionalities. Also you can use a basic stylus on the front screen to help with the crampiness of it being a skinnier screen.

      Hi thinking of purchasing the 3 rather than the 4 do you think the 3 is still a good device to choose rather than the 4 now since its been 5 months since you got it or would you say I should go for the 4

    • @trecehannah9203
      @trecehannah9203 Před 11 měsíci

      @bobwhitton678 actually yes its a very good device and it will get updates 14,15 and maybe 16 but if you can afford the 4 that wouldn't a bad chose. But the the 3 is still very good. I guess you can go by pricing.

    Hopefully the 5 has a built in stylus. I have the case that cones with the Samsung stylus but it was very easy to lose or come loose. An integrated one like the replaced not series with the ultra is what I want and I will get the 5 if this is the case

    My only thought, is getting a 4, Samsung usually has up to half price off offers, so then you pay as much as you would with a 3. But a 3 you may now have to just buy up front cost, vs paying like 30 bucks a month for a 4.

    Coming from the s22 ultra, I bought the fold 4 but returning it for the fold 3, I love the internal screen but camera is just ok, not worth trading in my s22 ultra and paying $1100, buying the fold 3 for $550 and I can keep my s22 ultra. before anybody ask, I'd use the fold as my work phone and my s22 ultra as my personal.

    I have just bought a Z Fold 4 512gb for €1340 in Italy. The Z Fold 3 is not that much cheaper. My preorder had a delivery issue, Samsung France still gave me trade in even though I didn't buy from them in the end. €1000 for my 512gb Fold 4. It was worth waiting a month after launch. Excellent comparison video.

    For thouse, who getting Samsung Fold (3) constant freezing and going on reboot after beeing unfolded. Here is solution for you: turn off external screen before opening phone, and same in opposite direction - turn screen off, before folding. Its not a total solution of problem, but its allow you to prevent freezing, black screens and rebooting

    Sure there ain't much of a difference when you compare both devices and put them side by side but for me the massive change was the cameras so I upgraded I love to point and shoot photos often and know to the other massive upgrade the cover display know has me using it more often over the inner display the battery has improved greatly with the new snap dragon processor and overall its a great device for me we shall see what the Z Fold 5 offers next year I know the cameras will get better

    I upgraded as the contract o2 are offering let you swap put the phones now when you want. (Helps for me as I tend to swap out to latest)
    I think the crease is less defined on the 4, and the battery is definitely lasting longer for me.. even though its the same power. Cpu takes less draw. Hopefully its true the 5 has the spen in the phone, no crease etc.. its getting close to perfect.

Do recommend that if you do purchase the z fold 3 to try and get some sort of warranty or insurance if possible. I had mine over a yr no issues but is reassuring to know I have the insurance on it .
