Common Samsung Z Fold 3 5G issues we check at inspection

  • Display crease and durability. The crease on the main foldable display is visible and can be felt, and long-term durability of the foldable screen can be a concern for some users.
  • Average battery life. Given the two displays and powerful hardware, battery life can be average for heavy users, often requiring a midday charge.
  • Under-display camera quality. The 4MP under-display camera on the main screen offers noticeably lower image quality compared to traditional punch-hole cameras.
