What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is a bigger upgrade than recent Folds, praising the brighter, less reflective inner screen with a smaller crease, the thin build, strong performance and better battery life. The common complaints are the weak telephoto camera and the higher price; Tom's Guide also missed S Pen support, and Android Central found it wobbles on a desk.
