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.

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.

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you so much for contributing by sharing your actual user experience.

[@rox-star]

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.

[@emanuelneiconi]

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.

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.

[@MrMrREmm]

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.

[@rox-star]

Totally agree to disagree 💯

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

And stupid to pay $60 for an inferior S Pen with no Bluetooth and camera not great and no dust protection

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.

[@BatfinksWings]

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.

@@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.

[@rox-star]

@@fhesseti7976 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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

My concerns are more to do with durability and battery life. I'm an avid user.

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.

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 ...

[@markclayburne5805]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@ricksilvas855]

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 👌🏼.

[@rabdulwahid]

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.

[@ricksilvas855]

@@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.

[@rabdulwahid]

@@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.

[@dorispeoples7248]

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 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.

[@Dee-504]

I found one. But of course I take the back case off which isn’t a hassle at all.

[@JoseCalderon04]

The S22 Ultra is better

[@TechGearTalk]

[@TheCrazyCanuck420]

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.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Fold is way overpriced still!!! No dust protection so so camera very fragile no WQHD+ SCREEN RESOLUTION DISPLAY, Stupid to pay $60 for an inferior S Pen

Samsung s22 ultra speakers quality mediocre, handset ear scratching, awful battery, connection problems etc... Exynos is a big let down.

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?

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

[@pritesh-epm2700]

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)

[@hgonz14]

The fold 4 will be announced August 10 if you reserve now you will get an additional Samsung credit

[@kevinowen7388]

Both are crap and waste of money due to battery life and design especially z fold design tall and slim instead of the 8 inch displayed ! Rather get Vivo X Fold or Oppo Find N heaps better 👍

[@teaforthesoul]

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

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.

How are they gonna make a less expensive phone more better then it’s big brother (fold 3)

[@timothykieper]

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.

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.

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 found the Z Fold 3 for 899.99 at Best Buy refurbished 😳

[@MariuszPelcPL]

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....
