What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is a capable productivity phone, with smart multitasking software, flagship performance and much better cameras than earlier Folds. The common complaints are the very high price and a crease and thick body carried over from the Fold3; Stuff also missed a built-in S Pen, and Trusted Reviews found few apps make good use of the inner screen.
