This is Samsung's third foldable, but first with the S Pen. I'd say the Z Fold 4 is going to be the the beast at its finest. As is, it is a refined version of the Z Fold 2 with many of the concerns addressed.
Got a tip for us?

Yup, I'm waiting for the 4, maybe 5 lol
My iPhone 12 Pro is still good, for now.
Well, after playing with one at BestBuy, I am anxiously waiting for my Fold 3 on the 27th (I'm in the US).
Yeah, I’m hoping they do something differently with the outer/front display.. I‘m not a fan of how narrow it is.
Yeah, its going to be weird using such a narrow screen. Going to take time getting used it. Definitely a one hander device.
I've had Fedex tracking for a while now, shows delivery next Wednesday.
Dang, so close to trading in my iPhone 11 for a Flip 3. Or maybe a Fold.
First.
World.
Problems.

I wonder why they just can't make it where if you are using the camera it shows itself, then when not it covered up with the pixels, and use a high quality camera and pixels like the rest of the screen. lol.
I’m waiting till the iPhone 13 is announced so I can determine how many lines we are upgrading this year. I have a fold 2 and love it but the fold 3 is ehh. I’ll see if apple is ehh also lol
Would keep my ATV 4K because I have tons of iTunes movies. Sell my AirPod Pros for some Sony ones (or Samsung buds maybe). Keep my Mac Pro 5,1 until it craps out. All tentative atm.
Wish I could watch my iTunes movies and shows on an android phone, but apparently the Apple TV app doesn’t allow it.
Looks fine by me, though I am no photo expert. Why would the photo quality be a concern? Samsung does have excellent cameras in their phones and the fold’s camera shouldn’t be any worse than the S21, right?
That’s always an issue for me too. I know Movies Anywhere is an option but it doesn’t account for all the movies and doesn’t account for TV shows I’ve purchased
Yep. Looked into this option, but like you said, not fully compatible with all movies an no tv shows. Wonder why. There’s Apple Music for android, why not this…
All Tv show/movies purchased from
iTunes are available on the Apple TV+ app on TVs and streaming devices. The problem is is that the Apple Tv+ app isn’t available on android phones or tablets.
Yep, can't even count how many times I've just randomly watched an episode of Twin Peaks Season 3 on my phone before falling asleep. LOL
Yeah, Shanghaichica already answered. But everything I purchased from Apple (movies/shows) are on the AppleTV+ app on my Samsung Tv.
MKBHD review is out:
Only surprise info I hadn’t yet heard elsewhere (and admittedly haven’t been watching a lot about the Fold 3) was regarding battery life.

Battery life depends on usage. from 8 AM to 5PM, my phone is at my desk at work untouched. (except for lunch). Start my morning at 5:30 AM with 85% battery and end my day at 9 with 65% left. This is coming from the Note 20 Ultra. I’d expect the Z Fold 2 to close ~40% at the end of day based on my usage. weekends is where my phone drains.
Based on MKBHD’s battery graph, I have high hopes for me.

Also a plus for Apple TV, you can watch your Apple+ connect via chrome at the Apple TV for web.
Anyone else who preordered in the US still have the cancel button and showing backordered? My delivery date still shows as being release day, but I know a lot of other people have tracking info already.
Something funny seems to be going on with my order. And if it goes through it could be really good or it could be broken and never go through. My invoice doesn't show my trade in items like it did on my last canceled orders, but I was still given the discount and actually some extra discount.
