What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is the most accomplished Fold yet: thin and light enough to feel like a normal phone, with bigger, better-shaped screens and a much improved main camera. The common complaints are the very high price and the dropped S Pen support; GSMArena also found battery life and charging middling, and What Hi-Fi? noted judder in video and unremarkable sound.
