I misspoke. The water resistance is 30 minutes at 1.5 meters
Also Exynos 2100 version is unconfirmed. Looks like it might be Snapdragon 888 everywhere (but as I said, in the real world it's unlikely to make any difference) - LS
Ok
That's still not bad at all for a foldable.
Okie dokie
It makes sense that Riley is wearing lipstick. We all know he's still in the closet.
Ok
What a time to be alive, where we critique light distortions of a camera under the display of a foldable waterproof smartphone
water resistant*
tech youtubers are often disconnected from reality and don't realize just how much engineering and genius goes into these things
@@commie.franky I'm pretty sure that if you were under water for more than 30 minutes you would be dead. And if you were scuba diving I would be willing to bet that the salt water would kill it anyways lol! So yeah, pretty much waterproof. You could use the thing in the shower probably lol(though I don't know why anybody would want to do that).
@@nerd2544No i think he does, he never says its bad he even says its an upgrade. He owns a tech youtube channel he definitely knows their genius. Though you didn't specifically talk about linus so i can't talk for anyone else, you probably are right about others.
I regularly jump in the swimming pool with my phone and take it to Lake Tahoe and shoot underwater videos. I've been doing this with my Samsung phones since the S8 Plus. Currently have the s20+ and just preordered the fold 3. Being able to still go in the water absolutely sold me on this. With trade, I paid $1200 for the Z Fold 3, folding case with s-pen and galaxy buds pro, 4mos TH-cam premium, 4mos Siriusxm and Spotify. Should be here in a week. A monster deal!
The under screen camera is still 100x better than laptop cameras

All I'm looking at here is "Oh my GOD, DS and 3DS emulation is gonna be SICK on this thing."
YOOO!

Marques: I'll watch someone else dunk it in water.
Linus: *dunks in water*
I mean... he still hasn't dropped it, has him?

Marques: "someone is probably going to put this thing in water at some point.. and I'll watch that"
Linus: "should I go for the gold? Should I fold it?!"
I spotted Linus' video first when the Unpacked event came up, but ended up watching Marques' first. I couldn't help thinking "Welp... You probably could've guessed who!" 🤣 Honestly, I don't know he didn't just go for it, himself.
The first thing he did too, Before he even started the review, the mad lad.
Stopped watching Marques years ago. He has always been an iSheep and I'm sick of his condescending views of Android innovations.
@@cim888 Haven't watched his iPhone stuff, so I can't speak to that, but the previews and reviews I've watched from him on Android seemed pretty level-headed.
@@JewishMusicToronto Check just the thumbnail of this Z fold 3 and you can tell its going to be negative
It's incredible how far we've come, in even the last 20 years. I remember using a cathode ray monitor with dial up internet. Now we have this. I wonder where we'll be in another 20 years.
depends on whether or not we get a handle on climate change

@@wrongturnVfor Climate change wouldn't be the apocalypse. It could kill a ton of people, but we're not capable of wiping the earth of all life just with waste CO2. Considering how much effort is going into more efficient and cheaper alternatives to environment-damaging energy production methods, coal will be a thing of the past within a couple decades, tops.

16:40 Extra Info: Typing in Korean is super easy, even easier than typing in English. Because you naturally type your left and right finger in turn. (Consonant letters are positioned at left, vowels at right) As if when they invented Korean letters hundreds years ago, they took consideration of typing. Typing in Chinese? Well, tell me about it...
same, it's also easier. If you write it there might be like 10 strokes but if you type it it can be 2-3 letters
I would assume that writing in Chinese works the same way as with Japanese, that is: you type how the words are pronounced and then get the hieroglyphs to choose from.
th-cam.com/video/60tJhbTBBN0/w-d-xo.html however, korean typing dont need hieroglyph conversion.
@@Windflowerize If you want to type Hanja (Sometime they still use it), Nope :). When you typing Ex. Kanji
You want to type stay (Tomaru). You will type とまる (Tomaru) as a input, keyboard will suggest.
1. 止まる (Stop)
2. 泊まる (Stay) -> Select this
Hungul also have a problem as same as Hiragana in Japanese so newspaper will still using Hanja for representing meaning.
from what I have gathered, Chinese alphabet is pretty compilicated. However, most people actually find it easier to type them than write them. In fact so much so, that there is a whole bunch of people who wouldnt be able to write chinese i they couldnt type it. Korean is so much simpler.
D-brand marketing dept must be like:
*we don't have the skin yet, so let pay Linus to improvise one*
D-Brand is, unironically, my favorite sponsor.
@@AliasAlias-nm9df yup their sponsor segway are very original. Although I'm still not sure which side came up with all the ideas?
As a wise man said :"improvise, adapt,overcome. "
You know dbrand is going to try to make that an official skin.
(Maybe not covering the screen though... Maybe make part of it a wallpaper?)
i HATE dbrand when the provide phones.... i want to see how the phone looks "naked", without those hideous wraps...
Linus favorite word is "experience" and his favorite sentence is "your mileage may vary"
Surely his favourite sentence is "Ladies and Gentlemen"?
@@carter342000 thats not a sentence :)
Isn't his favorite sentence, "After I tell you about our sponsor..."?
you can't forget about him calling anything a puppy
@@dropzone01 what I thought too, haha
As a software engineer, seeing Linus so impressed by software brought a tear to my eye :)
Did you help make the software???????
@@Puckluckpiks Or you just wanted to mention you were an Engineer?
@@angeldeschain0they’re probably just used to people under appreciating their work as a software engineer. Since it goes hand in hand with the hardware used which typically gets the majority of the credit.
Linus is also on the hardware end of tech reviewers, given that he makes a lot of videos about individual components of computers. Whereas someone like MKBHD is more tech experience-focused which gives a lot more credit to software.
Note 9, iPhone, Fold 2…Dude, how many phones do you have in your pocket?
What has it got in its nasty pocketses
Thats it... Linus dressing up as smeagol for Halloween is now a new life goal
still better than sportcar collector
this being off the cuff and unplanned yet incredibly informative, pointing out things other reviewers didn't, is a testament to how good linus is - the GOAT
Yep - Linus in great form here - still raising the bar 👍
His Steam Deck video was the best.
Bringing along a ton of testing kit with him - thermal camera, latency tester, his own monitor, even a screwdriver set (though they banned him from cracking one open) - to cram every conceivable test into his hour or so hands-on. While every other review was, like, playing two games and saying "well, it seems alright, I guess", complaining they didn't have enough time to do more - but, well, Linus managed it, so you clearly weren't trying hard enough, my friends.
That's our Linus. Always balls to the wall.
Seriously these guys are having fun making these videos. Such a good host
Linus last year: Samsung did not sent me a fold 2 for review.
Linus this year: I tried fold 3 early.
The difference in confidence of the product is palpable
@@-argih That would only make sense if no reviewers received Fold 2 rofl
Hes a paid reviewer now, except his review seems to be missing unbiased complaints, seems like apple needs to start sending him products cause clearly him selling out his quite real, now i question if corsair is actually a great option.
@@onlyswedishmeatballs1677 That's a whole lot of bullshit in one comment, must be a record.
He has "arrived".
13:40 having worked at a job where I had to go through some settings on 10s of phones every day, this genuinely got me excited. I can tell you that a lot of IT technicians working on phones will enjoy this feature.
I love Linus making his own LTT skin. Dbrand is so chill 😂
This is the fastest water-cooling conversion video I've ever seen. All he had to do was install it in a bucket of water!
WOW!
Can't wait for DS and 3DS emulators to support the dual-screen layout!
woah never thought about this, could be sick
the most expensive emulator ever. It's gonna be nice to play platinum on a 2000$ phone
I already play DraStic on my dual screen LG G8X ThinQ :)
You could also buy a cheaper LG G8X, LG Velvet, LG V60 5G, or Microsoft Surface Duo if you want proper dual-screen emulation.
@@simonbago Talking my language now.
When Linus features a Fold I always look forward to that TH-cam story feature that he talked about years ago. It's silly but it just makes no sense that it's still a problem to this day 3 generations later.
What was the problem that's still valid today??
@@sagittariusa2201 I’m guessing @18:31
same I was also waiting for it :)
it a problem for 0.0....% of user so for samsung it's not something very important
It's just not something that anyone other than Linus cares about so I get why they aren't fixing it
That waterproofness is half of what I was worried about on foldables. That's amazing tbh. Now for transit drop ratings before I'd buy one.
I really like these off the cuff type reviews where Linus gets a few minutes to an hour with a device
He didn't only get 2 hours with it, from my understanding, but that he was showing it off 2 hours before Samsung did... Or at least that's what he said in the video, or something to that effect(i.e. he just got it a bit ago after someone on his staff set it up, and he's quickly doing a video because it's so last minute)(of course, "last minute" for LTT is probably "last week" for anyone else)
I agree. This is the second video like it in a short time and I really enjoyed them both
what LTT used to be basically lol
Just saw MKBHD saying someone might do it and here we are watching Linus putting that beast under water 🤣😅
Came here from MKBHD video xD
it was like RIGHT below his video lol
Yeah fr
Came after @mrwhosetheboss
I refreshed my TH-cam after that video. Lo and behold, I see a Linus thumbnail dunking it in water.
Man I love this guy! He is excited as I am to receive his fold. I pre ordered the fold 3 and can’t wait for it.
The day has come man 😁
@Rickey7777 Has it arrived? How are you finding it?
@@FrankFurther yes it has arrived. I received it on 25th of August. It actually came early. Pre ordered from Samsung
I just got this phone a few days back and I'm loving it. My first foldable phone. I thought I would skip the first 2 gens so they can tweak out the issues.
"Don't you love technology? I sure do."
Happy Linus found and living exactly what he wanted to do.
Either Linus is ultra excited, or he just got back from badminton practice.

I love how Linus have fun making these videos. It's really lovely. And the amount of information is HUGE!
you can do the side by side view if you tap on the Icon in the app selection menu, and then hit open in split screen view. you can also do the pop up and "keep open" options there too.
Linus discussing bend gate on the iPhone: “No one puts their phone in their back pocket.”
Linus reviewing the galaxy fold: “I take videos with the iPhone I keep in my back pocket.”
the key word was "Phone", pbbly meant it as a daily-driver device.... not a dedicated pos just to record thingies :D
@@harshpeacer thats not what he meant (i think), cuz i think that he just means that he has changed that first he thought it was weird, but now does it himself
I have a flat butt. No problem.
@@0DANGEL these assumptions are funny as hell, as well as the shade thrown at personal preference but do you dude ✌️😁
That’s because Linus is bias as hell. He’s a huge hypocrite
I continue to be impressed by the size of Linus’s pockets. My man could concealed carry a 12 gauge
dont give him ideas now
He already does 😏
Awesome overview ,ordered mine.Hows the sound,and when downloading apps do I have to download a different one for this device?

Linus is the proof charisma comes in so many forms. You can feel how giddy and enthusiastic he genuinely gets. How can you not be captivated by that energy?
Got mine on the way already. Should have it by September 1st! Love the Review Linus!
I just pre ordered it, can't wait for it to arrive!
I love how Linus points such small details like a real enthusiast would
Does anyone has some experience with the durability of the fold display mechanics?
PS: Would like to have one with MicroLed displays. Or does samsung build them already in?
Or because he got free device from samsung to check out hours before the event.
Yes, the script writer, people that actually review the tech and editing staff are awesome.
@@InitialFailure What a salty implication, whatever it is that you're implying
@@impreza0109 he... he doesn't have a dedicated staff including editors, cameramen, researchers, PR person-I mean, he said he did?
What a creepy response to suspend reality so much as to call another salty for simply pointing out what Linus has already said.
You know Linus is excited when he almost forgets the sponsor.
Is it just me or did he pull a Dieter right there? Seems like his personality has changed too much in his direction.
More like he forgot the content and whole video is a sponser segment.
@@destiny_02 because he likes the phone?
Isn't Samsung the sponsor?
2 year, Note 10 plus user here. Just pre- ordered the Fold 3 CANNOT WAIT!
Another thing people don't talk about is that this phone is absolutely amazing for people with big and or fat hands. This is the first phone I have ever owned where I can actually type a full sentence without accidentally touching three different letters at the same time.
When Linus is giving us the deets on new tech, he truly shines. That's why he's the best. You can tell he thoroughly enjoys doing what he does.
Yep. He's a hardware nerd😎
Love how excited he gets. Truly someone who loves tech and the directions they take. The average person would beef on the low quality pixels over the camera, but he accepts it as just a stepping stone
Who wouldn't like getting free shit. Making money playing games making PC's and testing all new tech.
His review biased officially confirmed, guarantees hes paid by samsung
Oh well, just like mkbhd, unbox therypy and the rest of the paid "average tech consumers" on youtube
Still love linus for his pc content, thats where his og stuff content at.
@@onlyswedishmeatballs1677 Damn dude that's really clutching at straws there. Because he likes something that's a genuinely good product means he's a shill? What is he supposed to do, bash it? He even acknowledged in the video that he's annoyed about the TH-cam integration on their phones being shit. Am I a paid shill too for thinking both Fold 3 releases look sick as hell? Let people enjoy things. God
I love the Steam gamepad and this ZFold review, the organic videos are a refreshing change of pace.
Well on both of these videos they have limited time.
So excited! I preordered mine yesterday!
I just preordered this, can't wait to get it. It looks so dope

The relationship between Linus and Dbrand is absolutely a brofest match made in heaven. Never stop sponsoring them. Best advertising money you will ever spend!
for real they joke around make fun of each other while still promotion them self and we love it. that is how you make good promotions...
Linus, I think the "distortion" of the underscreen camera you are describing is a diffraction of light caused by the grid of display elements right in front of the lens. You can see that each pixel element causes a vertical and horizontal streak of light from the lens flare of the bright light source. I don't think it's going to affect anything else than the flares (and broken, but with this lens there's gonna be none unless you get too close to it). It's fascinating to see what a compromise this is and how the two elements interact with each other. I still think this is mighty impressive tech.
The difference (or lack thereof) in sharpness is unaffected by the screen - only lens flares on bright light sources. The sharpening in my opinion is just common temporal denoising, the sensor in this camera is probably as tiny as possible to make the whole trick easier. Even in static shots you can see how the camera smoothes out your skin, while maintaining sharp (oversharpened even) edges. I don't think there's any crazy postprocessing being done here.
3:25 Samsung paid a hell of money to you for doing this prior the event....what an idea!
Linus looks like an adult now, I remember Yvonne saying that he was a late bloomer in the roast of Linus, well she wasn’t wrong
Nah, he's always gonna be a big kid! Wouldn't have it any other way.
Watch his ancient 'Pimp My Wifi' vid, he's so little in that lol

To make your display look the best and vivid mode you have to set the color temperature to as cool as it can go... If you have the color temperature set to warm it doesn't look right and that's where you see some of that over saturation

Loved the video, was thinking of buying one but after seeing this I rather wait till they improve on a few more things.
EDIT: Seems like Linus have updated with a comment, saying that they was wrong. The phone comes with the 888 everywhere :)
Previous comment:
They mention in the video that outside USA, it uses the Exynos 2100 processor? But as far as what i can read on Samsungs website, it will only use Snapdragon 888. Have checked multiple EU sites from Samsung (And also where i live, and they only mention the Snapdragon 888)?
If exynos I will never buy it
Hi, I'm an influencer from Samsung Netherlands and had the pleasure to play with it 2 days before the announcement, it indeed uses a SD chip :)
Well I sure hope Samsung wont pull their Snapdragon/Exynos bullshit again.

Just order my fold can't wait
The polish on this is incredibly better than the previous one, it finally looks like a real product
That’s good to hear. My girlfriend is from Warsaw and she really struggled understanding the Fold 2.
It's basically the same device, slightly faster CPU, both cosmetically and software identical give or take speaker positioning. It's even exactly the same camera sensors, just positioned differently. The only hardware difference is the under display camera and a different metal composite. The fold 2 had exactly the same hydrophobic coating and is indeed also waterproof to the same standard, it just wasn't given the official IP certification while samsung figured out if they get back any water damaged phones. They didn't, so the IP certification makes it official.
The higher refresh rate on the external screen is also just a software tweak, as is the "hybrid" S pen support, there's no new hardware in the phone for the pen, it's just software support.
The fact that they didn't make a silo for an actual S pen shows you just how little the internals have changed. If it were a PC then you've just got a new case made of a different metal to the last one, a few extra pixels to try and hide the hole they needlessly made in the internal display for some reason, which already has 4 other cameras, and the CPU has been swapped out. Everything else is as it was before.
@@NeonVisual You're talking out of your ass. The pen needs an extra digitizer layer in the phone's screen.
@@nacho3570 no, it doesn't. There is no digitiser, hence the USB charging. The tip is capacitive so the phone knows where it is on the screen, and the S pen Bluetooth sends the thickness of the line depending on how much the retractable tip is pushed up inside the pen. Unlike all other s pens, these don't have solid tips. They are made of retractable foam nibs.
@@NeonVisual that's not true...not only does it have a digitizer, but it has two: "As for the Wacom digitizer, Samsung didn’t attempt to make that fold. Instead, there are two separate digitizers on each side of the phone. To the OS, it looks like a single panel - and the gap between them is handled by “a new algorithm” to calculate the stylus tip’s position using data from either side." - TheVerge

Great review!
Having the new fold with a system that correctly distinguishes between z fold pens and normal s pens and reject normal ones is actually a pretty genius and idiot proof mode. It not only warns you but it completely refuses to work with them, so people will not ignore that warning. Good job samsung!
@Waldel Martell the screen is not glass but plastic. Therefore, other spens not made for the fold will scratch it.
@@pablojp3498 it is glass. covered by some polymer screen above. But the screen is glass
@Gilles Nullens i didnt want to go in to the technicalities of the screen but: "non-removable plastic screen protector that covers a layer of extremely fragile ultra-thin glass.".
The thing it does not matter if the screen, has glass, or even diamonds for that matter, if on top of it it has plastic it will scratch like plastic. So, it is a special s pen with a "softer" and retractable tip to reduce the risk of scratching the plastic.
Yeah they want people to fork out money for a new one
@@minorcek No it's because the other ones are made for a glass screen which the Z Fold has but not at the top. The top is plastic so it would get scratched which would have a lot of people complaining about their 2000$ phone being scratched. Instead they made pens that are ensured not to scratch it. And if you can afford that phone and really want the pen I do not think you care about the extra cost. Just imagine the outrage if apple made an accesssory for their phones that will probably harm the phone if you use it. Like a magsafe wallet with metal spikes on the back. It will stratch the back to all hell.
This is the best implementation of the under screen camera I've seen. For those applications that make the the under screen camera important, you can just use that. But if you care about quality, you can just fold the phone and use the better camera and still have an electronic viewfinder to see yourself in. This eliminates the downside of the worse quality of the under screen camera.

It's most of the way through 2021 and TH-cam on the PC won't even let you select an audio track from a "stereo" recording or just set it to mono. Having to open a streaming video in something like VLC instead just so you can use both of your ears is obnoxious for the end user and they can't play ads through it. I don't think he's going to get through to them about something even more niche but still quite important.

I felt so bad for him. Like, all the money these companies have... and 3 broken systems? :O
This is amazing! The fact that they managed to get water resistance on it! I am absolutely stunned by this!
In the multitasking view, you can also click the little icon of the app at the top to choose split screen view :)
The use of the small screen front facing camera could probably assist in some damn good 3D video when the phone is in full screen position. Software update wishlist
Points at his cameraman: "It's compensating when I'm pointing at something that's not so bright".
BLM!
NOOOO!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
The cameraman will use rear cameras of course (not frontal under screen)...
16:42 Korean uses exactly the same keyboard layout as English. not even close to the difficulty of Chinese keyboard 😂😂
Unless you use the traditional 3x3 keyboard
Great review bro
18:40 Until this moment I thought you wouldn't speak about it hahaha
20:49 You should be able to play the game with the device upside down so that the camera it's hidden under your fingers...
Or at least rotate so that way it’s never inverted when you fold it no matter direction
It does not auto rotate?
@@don-hc8se Some devices only let you rotate to one side, at least that was the case in the past, and this being such a picky device, it could also be the case, I don't know...
Gotta admit Linus seems genuinely impressed with this one... looks like the 1st truly usable generation of foldable is here... very nice
It is basically the same as the z fold 2 so it isn't usable.
@@dominic8200 no it isn't lmao
Name 3 useful upgrades @wimbus
@@dominic8200 waterproofing (better hinge in general), 120hz outside screen and a more durable/usable inside screen
@@tacodirtshield4323 Not to mention numerous software tweaks & through screen camera.
The refinement is what makes it usable.
Another reviewer put it best.. "This is the phone Samsung was *trying* to build when they released the first and second Fold."
Thats my impression to, they finally refined it enough to be considered perfected.
21:11 "omg that is something else" first time i hear nice comment about a 4:3 screen.
I bought this last September and i am still in love with it!!!
I love the under screen approach. It's more than enough for video calls and as a person who's made max 5 selfies in his life I don't really care about its quality lol You can use the rear one for selfies too anyway so yeah - overall a win decision.
i have love hate with it as my bothers ( and girlfriend in the past ) some how they know how to use the camera on my phone 📱 to get the better of me so i cover up / disable mine whenever it's not in use. 🤔 if Samsung is planing on having a thermal image and 3D scanner mode? so 2k freking 🤪K i don't see that selling well but i was so wrong with the 1200 iPhones🤷♂️
I take a lot of selfies when traveling with the wife and being able to do a selfie using the main back camera and the outside display is freaking awesome.
@@richardprice5978 What?
With the other way to take selfies on this phone for once in a blue moon occasions, I’d honestly prefer they just remove that camera altogether. But yeah, still definitely a wise decision since I know others still may want to use it
@@leoshork ever had someone spy 🕵️♂️ on you "just because " or use technology for there entertainment at your expense of dignity and or other ways?
my girlfriend as one example thought it was funny to sent pictures if me sleeping 😴 or spy on me at work and other ( bother did that one 1000 miles a way without ever seeing my phone 📱 ect. ) activities or if i forgot and had my phone 📱 in my pocket when i was showering ect. and using the mirror for amming or hoping to see/get lucky 🍀 and doing some of it remotely to other people like my boss ( 😴 picture aren't funny 😆 to him. you got the idea ) after-hours aka my time off and or her friends ( or mine ) ( that got me in hot water 🚿 with her friend and not just a social deal but a legal one to thankfully 😅 i havd nothing to do with it. and she let it go plus the cops 👮 ) or my family.
Adding the pen support is actually a pretty big deal for me, I have been looking for a good tablet so I can markup large PDF's on site or on the go, or taking had written notes. I know the Samsung tablets (or even Ipads if I decided to go into the Apple ecosystem) are a hell of a lot cheaper and work very well but having just one device on me is very tempting, plus it just looks like a good device in general.
GIVE LOVE to the awesome camera person!!
As a Korean, I can tell you that writing in QWERTY is way faster than SPen text recognition
idk man.. can we really trust you? u being korean and all..
@@kongkarry lol Believe what you will
I think this is the first one that I would consider "good enough". Might even start saving and try to get the Fold 4 when that comes out...
The transparent camera in the front looks and performs like crap
@@mikerzisu9508 So you think a black hole looks better? And there's 2 more sets of cameras you can use for selfies. Stop complaining, you won't buy the phone anyway because you're poor
@@mikerzisu9508 lol get rekt
@@propersod2390 I have an s21 ultra I was considering trading in for this, but not now. Guarantee I make more than you do lmao
@@mikerzisu9508 why the hell would you upgrade from a 2021 flagship to a 2021 flagship? 😂 Also you can't even trade in any s21 series, I checked out of curiosity. And if you're buying this folding phone and thinking you're gonna get some amazing cameras then your thought process is just flawed 😂 The z fold 3's cameras are like the last thing they thought about. They're still good but not excellent
I forsee Dbrand making a skin for this phone in the exact color combination that he just did just to spite him. Lol
8:18 was that a small little drop? YES! LINUS DROP TIPS STRIKES AGAIN
Absolutie love your vids man
11:06 - Someone has been spending a lot of time with the new Tormach CNC
Linus has become god tier with these reviews. Just show up, off the cuff, brand new product, time limit, and knocks it out of the park. Turn the cheats off.
Click bait has to go. As long as he's click baiting he'll never be got tier.
@@sunburst8810 what is clickbait about this video title?
It's not a review :)
16:42 Linus, Korean has alphabet (한글) that fits just fine on a keyboard not unlike English, thank you very much!
Do you think I need to buy a screen protector or just a case is fine?
Anyone notice they’re filming to almost 7PM (if you read Linus’ watch toward the end). What a hard-working guy. As a (new) business owner, can relate. Thanks for bringing us the latest and greatest.
