The reason why you didn't get a 3x zoom option in the camera app is because you used 3:4 50 mp mode, meaning that everything that you shoot comes from the 50mp sensor. Click on the 3:4 icon and change it to the regular 3:4 instead of the 50mp one. You'll get the option to use the ultrawide and the 3x optical zoom.

Took me a while to realise you have to enable fast charging on cable in the settings though, charge time kind of sucks ~2h for something lasting a day.

So waking up with a phone at like 10% charge and then having to wait 2 hours isn't a good experience.

I'm new to foldables having just bought the Fold 4. What an amazing form factor for consuming content. Total game changer and I'm all for it. It's a little weighty and thick when folded but I otherwise love it and will happily daily drive it. What I can't stand are the case options. I typically armor out my phones but you can't really do that with the Fold unless you make some annoying compromises. I hate adhesive use with most front face covers, having to carry a chunky S pen separately makes a chunky phone even chunkier, hinge covers either will not close by itself or magnets will do it but leave a dead spot when using the pen over the magnet regions, hinge covers block a portion of the front face for main camera selfies, wireless charging won't function with certain pen locations, fabric pen holders will get stretched by pen tips, etc. I ended up getting a knock off S View cover since they don't make an official one (so no S View functionality or S pen slot 😟).

Of course not, you're too busy commenting on videos you haven't watched yet.

6:17 What's up with dbrands attitude?

[@willyum3557]

An idea about the s21 ultra sensor it's best to record the thumb print or what ever finger they use more than once. This will make the sensor more precise

[@lmitz]

The persistent taskbar is available on the zfold3 (it's a labs feature), it just shows up on the side instead

[@silentgrind34]

You can get the bottom task bar as well

[@lmitz]

@@silentgrind34 how does one move it to the bottom?

[@JamesKellyWickerman123]

S9 fingerprint sensor and layout was the best. Everything since then has been a downgrade. It was in the right position, no stretching required and you could swipe it for the notification bar!

[@Chipsaru]

switched from S9 to Fold3 - power button with sensor works fine, you can also configure notification swipe on it

[@minalahmar7324]

The power button on the z flip 3 is the fingerprint sensor and honestly it works perfectly fine. It's pretty fast.

I love been daily driving fold for years. I skipped the 3. 4 is a nice improvement over the 2. The fold 4 is definitely sharp and uncomfortable compared to the fold 2

[@rkymtnchi503]

Interesting...I find it the most comfortable of the Folds thus far

[@StopaskingformynameYouTube]

To be fair, the under screen sensor works perfectly if you simply add your preffered finger several times so that you get different angles and coverage. :)

[@c.w.k.n.5117]

That's what I do

[@ZelosZelo]

loving mine so far. I suggest get the case and front screen protector for it, make sure the case covers the hinge.

[@SkydrawnIV]

This seems to be the common denominator with people having issues - dbrand having their case with a hinge cover sounds like all you need to protect it.

[@BlizRealz]

My biggest challange in this video is to know which fold is the fold 4 and which one is the fold 3 for some reason.
