Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 vs Galaxy S21 Ultra - No One Is Telling you the Truth, So I Have To

[@MakuraZalis]

Most people complain about the fold without having it. I have many different phones from many different brands. This is the most versatile and amazing phones around. S21 ultra and fold 3 are two completely different phones, in terms of uses. People are acting like we are taking cameras out of a potato. I don't care about being able to look up someone's nose 10 meters away.

I upgraded from a oneplus9pro (I miss the alert slider 🥲) other than that I'm in love with the fold for reading mangas and light novels and some books. I'm just wondering if you still have your fold , and if so how has it held up and how do you feel about it now? Thank you in advance for any information you can offer!😁🙏

Alot of people don't know that you have to do that with the fold 3. It's all about turning off apps ur not using cuz they run in the background and that's why ur battery drains fast

I use the cover screen for youtube..landscape mode..its like a regular phone when u watch..i prefer cover screen no need big screen ..use only if you multitask..

[@hansj.h]

I made the change from the S21 to the Fold 3. Here is what I think : Contrary to what everyone else says, the screens aren't identical. Resolution on the Fold 3 is (in my mind) considerably worse. Watching movies is clearly not as enjoyable as on the S21, as far as clarity of the picture is concerned. The pen situation is also not comparable. First of, with the S21 the extra case will hold the pen nicely. The Fold 3 case is awkward at best. Try and put down the Fold 3 with this case flat on a table so you can actually write on it; there is no way to do this (unless you remove the entire sleeve for the pen, but who takes that time.). Furthermore, the pen works only on the Fold 3. Now, I also work with a Tab S7+, and I now have to carry around 2 pens with me at all times, and I constantly have to check which pen I need. Or I can switch to the (giant!) S pen pro. Now I have to switch modes every time I use a different device. Plus getting the S pen pro out of the sleeve is really tricky and takes time. And it doesn't even have a little clip to keep it firm in your pocket. Not very useful really. On the S21 you can use any pen you have in your hand or available. Plain convenient. The front screen on the Fold 3 is a bit too narrow. Especially typing is sometimes difficult. Even though both phones should perform identical, I feel that the Fold 3 is not as snappy as the S21 (I had it for more than a week now, so everything should be settled in). Even though I'm an average camera user, I'm not as happy with the camera on the Fold 3. I simply think that the picture quality altogether is not as good. But again, maybe this is only me. Or the resolution on the Fold. The fingerprint reader on the Fold 3 works extremely reliable and fast, way better than on the S21. Reason being is perhaps my age. The fingerprints on older people literally wear out. It seems that the Fold 3 has less problems with this situation. I have to work a lot with larger pdf files, and I have found that the Fold actually can replace a tablet in many instances. Certainly not if you want to work on a file for hours, but I already had a few cases where I could leave my tablet at the house. (Would have been extra nice to also have an S pen with a clip for my pocket.) Being able to work on files, reading newspapers and kindle books, watching movies (even though the resolution is not perfect), and better typing on the large screen are the reasons for me to keep the Fold 3. Also, the Fold 3 is a really enjoyable device. It has "charm", for whatever reason.

[@joshuamelton1633]

I love this. You’re calling it as it is.

[@strength45]

Reasonable reasoning. Only thing im a bit dissapointed with my fold 3 is the bat. But that is because I'm a heavy power user.

[@hansj.h]

@@strength45 Meanwhile, my battery is pretty much the same as it was on the S21 (after 12 days or so), about 20 hours of regular use.

[@MrAzooooooooo]

I had s21 ultra and I bought fold 3. Fold 3 much more enjoyable in every aspect. The screen resolution look identical and more enjoyable due to the large canvas.

[@Who-Uhm-Cares]

Of course the resolution is not as sharp. It’s a big screen with less PPI compared to a 500-600 ppi regular candy bar screen. Even my iPad Pro 12.9 doesn’t look as sharp as my iPhone and it’s way higher resolution then 1440p. If you’re looking for sharpness then stick to none tablets

[@MATTIEMMM]

I've had the phone about a month now and I can tell you it was absolutely worth the upgrade from the s21 ultra. The screen real estate versus sacrificing the main camera totally worth it.

[@reviewhead]

Is the battery good? I heard it’s really bad. That’s the only thing stopping me from upgrading?

[@davidanderson9550]

Ya is the battery really that bad? How is it with an average user perspective. I have a S20 ultra right now, had it since launch but I'm really leaning toward the fold 3 over the s21 ultra but the battery life reviews are steering me away.

I UPGRADED from the S21 Ultra to the Fold 3. From my perspective it's a clear upgrade. I use my Samsung for work. The multitasking improvements are enough to justify. Content consumption (not work) is amazing. I was a previous Note die hard. I found I began using the S-Pen less and less but still overall enjoyed the larger screen. The fold 3 seems to be about the perfect size of screen. Still a phone not exactly a tablet. Very pleased with the purchase.

What you say makes no sense. Let me explain. If one can destroy a display with fingernails it's rubbish. If after a while pixels start to die where the crease is, and the damages spread i can only shake my head. You get mediocre cameras and a lousy selfi camera. Most apps are not adjusted to the display form factor of the folds and hence they look crummy. If u want to use a case u have to glue the case to the phone 😅. If the display has any issues out of warranty make yourself ready to pay 700 Dollars for a new one. This mobiles just make no sense. And this is coming from a technology lover who owned smart devices way back when there we're only palm pilots available or Sony Clie mini computers.

Few articles claimed it's good up to 200,000 folds, or up to 5 years if you were to open it 100 times a day. But man, knowing that stat makes me paranoid to open it at all lol

Have to disagree with the under display fingerprint scanner. Having it on the power button is a time saver. I have it on my s10e. I press it down and my phone auto bypasses the lock screen.

[@LordMaliscence]

I had the S10 lite, had an under display scanner that was horribly inaccurate. One of the most underrated features of the Fold is the insanely accurate fingerprint reader.

Ciao, complimenti per il video. Dovrei comprare uno smartphone fold 3 o s21 ultra per sostituire il mio s7 edge. Ovviamente come vedi sono uno che cambia smartphone ogni 5-6 anni mantenendoli bene e sfruttandoli al massimo. Vorrei aquistare un fold 3 per la caratteristica del mini tablet, ma la domanda vera è se questo smartphone mi durerà almeno 5 anni? dato che costa un occhio della testa. Per favore un consiglio da fratello, grazie 🙏

You forgot to mention the Dex application that the S21 Ultra has. You basically turn your S21 into a laptop or desktop if you connect it to an external monitor.

This phone cant be compared with s21 ultra as it targets different audiences

[@tRiXMaddy]

Camera blows folds out of the water, battery much better. Other than that tho I am so happy other fold

[@alexanderc7213]

Yeah, just by the ads Samsung has done, it seems to target 'gamers' and video streamers. The S21U targets, well, photography folk. Granted, I know the 100x zoom is crap, but from what I've seen, 30x zoom is still decent enough. Fold goes up to 10x, which isn't bad either. In my case, I don't stream much videos on my current s8+, mostly just browse web, twitter, IG, etc. But I do take a shitload of photos lol. If I want to stream videos, I have a chromebook for that. Sure, the Fold is enticing, but maybe I'll get a later revision when cameras improve :/

[@kmendez32]

I have had every Z Fold and each time they have become a much better experience. Once you go Fold you never go back!

[@Hal-pc6bk]

I never thought I'd say this. But it's fold 3 for me over my s21 ultra. Fold is the new king! Don't get me wrong the s21 ultra is still the best overall mobile phone available right now . But the fold has many of the ultras characteristics and many more on top. But also a few downgrades in the camera department. But the cameras are still very capable. What I like is the fact that it's different! It's new, exciting and innovative. The ultra is just a fantastic phone. But ultimately the same as all the others. The fold is new ! I thought I'd hate the front screen, and yes it's narrow but you can get most things done on it. The inner screen is absolutely beautiful! Most apps work now and that makes it even better. The fold isn't for everyone but you aren't going to know until you try! Hopefully next year the fold 4 will have a slightly wider screen. But the again if you are going to use the front screen all the time then that's a waste and stick to the ultra.

[@elliotserrano7333]

Poor s pen implementation makes this a no go for me. A shame that one of the biggest features for the ZF3 has very little support. So far there's only 1 case for s pen and it covers the outer screen. I returned my ZF3 and stuck with my S21U which has several cases for s pen.

[@UchihaSumairu]

Honestly if you do anything tha takes advantage of the larger screen (gaming or ESPECIALLY manga/comics or reading ebooks for example) its really not even close. Same with if you don't do those things. 21 ultra is much better in that case. Also the experience with the pen isn't the same as the screen size makes a BIG difference. Anyways I think the point is the bigger screen and either you need a tablet with you and this will alleviate that need or you don't and its pointless.
