I hope samsung takes time to built and improves the fold 3. No need to rush.. s-pen integration to the fold is a must to take advantage of the screen estate. Make it fold flatter, currently still not nice. Makes the main screen stronger and more durable. I will patiently wait for it. I have high hope for gen 3

I sure hope they’ll conveniently forget to jack up the price with the addition of Note features into the Fold. RM8k is already eye-wateringly expensive. Stronger , more durable foldable glass would mean the fold radius be larger, making the hinge to accomodate a larger folding radius, resulting in fatter folded Fold. Seeing the aversion and complaints of the crowd in here at the slightest addition of “thick” case, I don’t think a thicker Fold would quiet them down. I’ll be happy if Samsung can somehow break the law of physics ( stronger more durable , tighter angle folding screen? Stronger display layer implies less flexible folding angle), heck, I’ll be the first to trade in my Fold 2 for that but I don’t see that happening, but like I said, if that happens Samsung will have my RM8K ( if the price stays at 8k with all those features in, RM10k Fold 3 with Note-scribbling folding display?  mega_shok.gif )

I feel that the S lineup will kill the Note lineup, with the rumor of upcoming  S21/S30 including an S-Pen without a pen silo in the body. It’s the result of the S series growing larger in size, almost making the Note redundant with its only attraction being its S-Pen.

I like the idea of merging the note and s series, they often feels redundant anyway. I don’t mind if the pen not embodied in the phone, and i want a bigger size pen laugh.gif

My major concern on the fold 3 now is CAMERA. 10mp for the main, and freaking 4mp for the underdisplay?? Welcome back to 2015, not sure if i can live with that

Check out, Linus. It's not too bad. You're not going to use that to take photos usually. More like Video Conferencing calls.

A lot of zoom call nowadays.. it would seems like we use cheap phone for zoom call, while it was actually the most expensive lol..

Also the main cam, 10mp and nothing fancy, even worst than lowest spec S20 from last year.. :x

All video conferencing apps tends to compress the video quality to shit anyways. So it's not a problem.

But for future proof.. 4mp, c'mon.. at least 5mp too hard is it. 😅

But then again, the main camera is the main problem

Rm6699 very nice price already, i would buy it but camera and battery is such a let down.. how come bigger screen phone but battery smaller than S21u? And camera is still 2-3 years old behind.. hard to accept in 2022 if thinking ahead

hello folks, i pre-ordered the fold 3!!  rclxms.gif

but i'm having second thoughts about the trade-in ... i think it is a rip off. has anyone tried to cancel the instacash trade in and is there a penalty?

samsung already charged me and i already got all the discounts (850 + 200 trade-in).

How do you do the instacash? I tried but it said the app is not available in our country

What makes you decide to skip? The durability test didnt shown much differences with fold 2.
From the previous version video, he will do it for the teardown video.

mainly due to the internal screen still seems less durable like fold 2.. and the gap between screen still the same. also the battery too small for the big screen.. its a refinement to fold 2, but to me not there yet for a flagship devise.
