*** Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Thread (it can fold and everything) ***

So who will be getting one then? I think I will be!! the waterproofing will be sufficient reason for me.

 

[ntemples1]

I am definitely wanting one, I love the fold 2 but was always worried about using it in the rain, especially as it always rains here in the UK!

 

[ntemples1]

the question is, is it worth the upgrade just for that. I'll be locked into another steep Vodafone contract. £64 is best price they will give me

haha I've already sold my fold 2 had an iphone 12 pro max for 2 months and just sold that, now using my little old iphone SE for 14 days until the fold 3 arrives!!!

 

[ntemples1]

What deals are people getting?

I just saw you can save £200 trading in an old apple device I have an SE I am using it comes up as £50 plus extra £150 dsicount. Then its £1399, I might do that as that's quite a good saving.

Thanks for the code!!! Top man!! I got the 512GB Z fold 3 for £1349!!! awesome!! including the £79 Case and S Pen and 1 year of the Care plus thing

 

[ntemples1]

Awesome. You’re welcome buddy.

I got the 256GB version for £1198 with a trade of a broken S8 plus 5% TCB. Hope you used Samsung Pay for a further 5%.

awesome!!! No I didn't have a samsung handset to use Samsung Pay!! I am happy with the discount I got though, that's great for the 512gb version!!

So unlike the Fold 2 it looks like Samsung have gone Exynos for European markets and GSM are saying that whilst performance is close, the Exynos will throttle quicker and harder than the SD.

Yes only Linus said that and I think he made a mistake everywhere else he a saying SD 888

 

[ntemples1]

To be fair I ordered mine direct from Samsung UK and my order today has moved from 'Processing' to 'Prepare Dispatch'!

Me too but mine still says processing

I went to the Three shop on Saturday whilst in town as they were the only ones who had a working display sample and have to say I came away feeling a little disappointed. The line down the middle of the screen once it's opened I find a little annoying (looked at a Fold2 the previous weekend and hoped they would have made this a little better but I guess if you want a foldable device that's what you have to put up with) and the camera quality seemed pretty poor even compared with my S10+. The in-screen camera was notably visible although as with Smokedog it was a highly lit store but it was obvious it was there.

I think I'm going to pass on this one and see what Apple or Google bring next - failing that S22 Ultra for me in Jan.

to be fair the crease never bothered me, it's not noticeable when looking head on, but it never bothered me anyway, I loved the fold 2, the only things I didn't like about it were the lack of water resistance and also the 60hz screen on the front, the cameras (on the back) are still great I took some amazing shots with the fold 2, but yes as it's a cutting edge piece of tech there will be drawbacks but I love having something that I only dreamed about as a kid (i'm 48).

Paint on the Fold 3 seems to chip easily

glad I ordered the silver now!!

 

[ntemples1]

Edit: sorry wrong thread!

 

[ntemples1]

mine still says processing!!

 

[ntemples1]

has anyone got another 10% voucher going spare please? want to get the watch4 classic

 

[ntemples1]

still processing!! this is killing me!!! maybe it's because I went for the 512gb version?

 

[ntemples1]

Has anyone managed to get insurance for the phone? O2 aren't even offering it for this device

 

[ntemples1]

Do you mean theft cover? I thought you got a free year of Samsung Care+ with the Fold 3. Is that not what you need?

oh yes I guess I meant theft cover is care+ samsung as good as apple's one?

 

[ntemples1]

mine has changed to preparing despatch!!!! does that mean it'c coming tomorrow?

 

[ntemples1]

I've managed to get insurance using a company called swipe insurance. Even the phone wasn't listed on their site, I got to add it manually and valued it upto £2000 for £9.50 a month which covers practically everything.

thanks for this!!
