The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is the first foldable phone that we recommend to people who would normally call themselves ‘early adopters’, yet held off on buying 2020’s Z Fold 2 for good reason. Those fence-sitters will be swayed by the Z Fold 3’s S Pen support, greater durability and water-resistance in an otherwise familiar-looking foldable design with unchanged cameras. It’s still mighty expensive, and therefore not for the average consumer, but it starts at a slightly lower price than its predecessors, making it ideal for those who've been looking to buy into the form factor but have been waiting on the sidelines.

An industry-defining foldable that offers improved hardware, optimised software and a few surprises (like S Pen stylus support and water resistance), on top of a lower price tag than its predecessor

The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is best foldable phone yet, with a more durable design and S Pen support, and the multitasking features are even better. You need a case to store the stylus and the cameras are not upgraded, but overall the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is a great choice for power users.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is a solid step forward for Samsung’s flagship foldable line, offering a more durable design, solid component upgrades and improved multi-tasking. But the screens’ atypical aspect ratios still come with some usability compromises. This, plus its high price mean it remains a device best suited for early adopters and tech enthusiasts, rather than general consumers.

It’s hard to say the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is anything but an over-engineered technology showcase that creates artificial use cases in order to justify its existence. Supposing a user actually has a regular need of a larger display, doesn’t want to regularly carry more than one device, and doesn’t mind sacrificing durability in the process, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is as good an option as can be. For anyone whose uses and needs are a little more flexible, the flexibility of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will just be an expensive party trick.
