SAMSUNG Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G US Version, 512GB, Phantom Black – Unlocked (Renewed)

Surprisingly good purchase.
Posting a review a couple months after buying the refurbished version of this phone.Overall i am really happy with the device and the amount of money i saved by buying it refurbished.Product felt new, Pretty powerful phone and honestly being able to adjust a lot of settings to conserve on battery are really nice.It even has a lot of built in UI options just for this kind of phone so you can decide how you want to use the larger screen when unfolded.Downsides are that the battery can drain pretty fast when in normal use use. I don’t think this is is the issue of the replacement battery but more of the fact that it has to power both screens and have higher quality picture.If full day use, needs a one time daily charge.If half day or less use, Can go without 2 days without charging.The system even has a setting to where you can set the battery to charge only 85% to preserve the overall life. As well i found it was suggested to turn off fast charging in the options to have less ware on the battery life over time.The system has tons of options for maximum optimal battery use and efficiency which really made the phone feel like it can last as long as it normally would, So that’s been super useful.Also there is no standard headphone jack in the device which is a bummer, But the actual stereo/sound system on the phone its self is really good, very clear bass.I’m surprised how much i used both screens equally though, Getting used to the folded narrow screen to a bit but i got used to it after a while.Unfolded is great for watching videos & movies, Playing games and any other tools that might perform better on a larger screen. Hard to go back to the normal phone format after having this for a while now.You will definitely want to get a case for this phone but, Very happy with the product though.

Great for Gaming and Reading
In one sentence: I would only recommend this if you like to play phone games or read. If not, you’re probably fine with whatever you have now. I literally only bought this so I could read manga on the go, without having to carry a tablet with me. It is a stellar device, but for the price and supposed “longevity” of this phone, I wouldn’t recommend it to the Average Joe.I don’t like reading 30 page reviews, so I’ll do “quick” bullet points:-folded screen is a bit slim for two hands, and unfolded is difficult to one-hand, if not impossible for those with smaller hands.-modern phones are so stupidly smooth that this thing NEVER feels safe in the hand without a case to add some grip. It is essentially the weight of 2 phones in one, so it is deceptively heavy. My case is Samsung’s own leather cover, which does a great job of making the phone more comfortable in the hand without adding bulk. It is pictured above and as you can see it is very minimal ( since you probably can’t even tell.) (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0977JZH1C)-All apps will default to a certain orientation on the internal screen, but there is a Labs feature in the setting that allows you to freely rotate any app to see which you prefer (portrait v landscape.) Super appreciated, but does “break” some apps as they don’t know what to do with the extra space and just leave black bars, or crop themselves weirdly. Some apps do work great either way though, as pictured in Gems of War.-Outside of the folding-screen part, this is still just a phone. Great displays, great performance, but still does all the things your phone already does, so personally I don’t think there’s a lot to add in that regard.I’ve only had the phone for 2 days at this point, so I will follow-up if things start to fail, but even now I would say unless you have a specific need for a phone like this, you’d be better off getting something else. It’ll be cheaper and last longer (probably.)But hey, it IS a phone that unfolds into an 8 inch tablet, and that’s freaking cool, so 🤷-90 Days Later-Unfortunately the phone still works 100%, and with the 90-day-return window passed the Amazon Renewed program covers, I dread the moment the the phone starts to fail because I have only loved it more every day, and know that if it does break I will just buy another one.

Work supper
No complain

Es muy buen equipo, me agrado y hasta ahorita funciona al 100

Fairly simple to set up and transfer data. It is a little heavier, but the slim design when folded is. Comfortable to hold even for my little hands! When opened it is very easy to navigate multiple apps opened, and comfortable to type with 2 hands. The fold in the center is barely noticeable and does not impede on its usage, nor does it make viewing an issue.
