Our take on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G 256GB Phantom Black

The Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is Samsung's third-generation book-style foldable: a 6.2-inch cover screen that opens into a 7.6-inch tablet, both Dynamic AMOLED 2X at 120 Hz. It runs a Snapdragon 888 with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and it was the first Fold to support the S Pen and to carry an IPX8 water-resistance rating. It suits heavy multitaskers who want a phone and a tablet in one pocket, but it is heavier and thicker than a slab phone, the crease is visible, and the battery is small for a large screen. Against the Fold4 and Fold5 it is older and less refined, yet it keeps the same core formula at a lower cost of entry.

Questions and answers

Is the Galaxy Z Fold3 still worth buying?
It remains a capable multitasker with a large 120 Hz screen and S Pen support. Newer Folds are thinner, lighter and have better cameras and battery life, so it makes sense mainly if you want the foldable format without paying for the latest model.
Does the Fold3 support the S Pen?
Yes, the main 7.6-inch screen supports S Pen input. It does not work with the cover screen, and there is no pen slot, so the pen is carried separately.
Is the Fold3 water resistant?
It carries an IPX8 rating, meaning it can survive being submerged in fresh water. That does not cover dust, sand or salt water, and the rating is not a guarantee against damage.
How does it compare with the Fold4 and Fold5?
Later models are lighter and thinner, have a less visible crease, better cameras and, on the Fold5, a hinge that closes flat. The Fold3 keeps the same core design and S Pen support.
What is in the box?
The phone comes with a USB-C cable and SIM tool. Samsung does not include a charger or case, so you need to supply your own.
Can I use a physical SIM and eSIM?
Yes, it supports a nano-SIM and eSIM. This unit is carrier-locked to T-Mobile, so check network compatibility before buying.
