2021 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G 512GB - Phantom Black (Renewed)

First off, a few things to be aware of: I've personally not had issues with the folding screen, but there is a visible crease down the middle that may affect your viewing experience with movies. You'll need either an S Pen Fold or Pro edition if you want to use a stylus, which I highly recommend. You'll most likely want to find a reasonably protective case too, as the cameras jut out and will scratch easily otherwise. Hardware-wise, the fold 3 is a beauty. The outer screen is large and high resolution enough that you can use it almost like a non-foldable phone without an issue, then fold out the main display when you need the extra space. The battery life is great, with an 80% charge taking me comfortably through the day even with above average use. The folding mechanism is stiff enough to hold itself in place, but feels almost effortless to fold and unfold, and the cameras, while not the best I've seen on a phone, still manage high resolution pictures and videos. Software-wise, it's slightly more of a mixed bag. It's a Samsung phone using OneUI, so you'll run into the usual bloat - I spent a few hours disabling all of their junk though and everything worked fine. I'd rather not have to deal with this on a premium phone like this, but at least it doesn't seem to be reinstalling itself. There are actually a few neat apps built-in. Samsung's camera app has your standard camera features, then layers on top a bunch of neat modes which I personally only use one or two of, but are occasionally fun to use - I quite like the super-slow mo, which records for a few seconds then as the name suggests produces a super slow motion video lasting about 30 seconds. It does best in bright conditions because of how high the shutter speed is, and I've captured a few really nice videos using it. It's also got an AR Doodling mode where you can draw in the air and the doodles stay in place as you move the camera around, which for me was a bit of a novelty but I can imagine better artists will come up with some incredible work using it. The folding software works well, to an extent. Most native apps, i.e. the ones which come preinstalled or are developed by Google, work very well with the folding screen and seamlessly switch views when you open the phone. Others will need to be restarted if you want to switch displays. This sounds like a pain, but I've honestly found that in most cases I only want to use a given app on one screen but not the other, so it tends to work out quite well.

My Samsung Galaxy Fold Z 3 is amazing. I bought this expecting there to be a few dings and dents/scratches and what not, but I see absolutely none. The quality is genuinely as if it is new. This phone performs so well even under heavy loads compared to any other android phones I've used. Definitely a top performer. Runs Fortnite at 60 frames very well, and even on mobile data it works amazingly well. The data is fast, just what you need. One thing weird with the data is how i find some social media apps like Instagram load slower than other apps using mobile data. Strange - maybe that's just me. Not a biggie. This phone feels amazing. Quite heavy when you first pick it up, but considering it's a phone and a tablet in one with all that processing power, it's amazing. The screens are both outstanding, and they are very bright, both are perfectly visible even under direct sunlight. The cameras, all five, are very good at their job. I have no complaints with them at all. They are definitely good contenders to iPhone cameras. I have no complaints, there are no issues with white balance I have found, which can be common with android phones. The folding mechanism is hilariously smooth, I've probably opened and closed it a few thousand times, it does not get old. The battery life on this phone is absolutely perfect for me. I find myself having to charge it once a day at most. I am a person that is constantly on their phone, consuming content or playing games to pass time away, I am also using my mobile hotspot constantly, which also uses battery, yet with this phone battery is no longer a worry for me . This is a much bigger improvement from my iPhone 11. It couldn't last 6 hours without a charge and with very small usage. I have had no problems with this phone so far, it is absolutely perfect for me. I definitely recommend this phone to anyone who wants to have a change, or love the idea of a folding phone. 10/10.

Less than one star. My problem only happened after 4 months of owning the phone, but I don't expect to pay £400 for a phone for it to blow up and then be told by the seller it's my problem. The phone now is un-usable but I can't return it as it is out of any return policy. I am now stuck in a sim only deal for 24 months with no phone. Don't use bright gadget or whatever they are called and I now find my self in a position with no funds to buy a phone but I have a sim card. Go to a reputable dealer or somewhere you can walk in and discuss a return if anything happens with your phone. Lesson learned here, refurbished phones may not be the answer, I have no idea how it is my fault that a battery inside of a device blows up ? Obviously the phone was not refurbished to a good standard, it was made to look good on the outside and the battery was not exchanged before selling it. Be careful. Phone pictures show the opening of the phone and you can see the battery 🔋 Please make the correct decision before wasting your money.

Love this phone. Bought refurbished. Good condition. Some wear on the folding screen. This was sorted with a new screen protector fitted at Samsung shop. Very fast and big memory. Poor battery life. I'm told this is an issue with the fold 3. On the whole I love it

Very good condition all round i have enjoyed using it till today when the larger screen stopped working after buying a lovely protective cover and having everything on it I wanted I now have an expensive ordinary phone

I bought this fone its 1 of the best I've bought in a long time didn't get the link 2 show to the shop keeper from Royal mail but really chuffed with it fairly easy 2 set up 2!!

The phone is in very good condition, even at just the good level. Not a mark on it, I even had to peel off some of the original packaging, can imagine what an excellent level phone would look like. The battery is also performing beyond expectations, with a full two days of operation. Based on my experience, I can thoroughly recommend this company.

For the price, it's top value and the phone works exactly was expected. No screen damage but also no screen protectors. Both had been removed at some point, so factor that into the price. This phone was listed as in "Excellent Condition" with "no signs of cosmetic damage visible from a distance of 30 centimetres." But that's not quite what I got. Three areas of very obvious cosmetic damage on the hinge. Does it affect the phones performance? No. Is it annoying? Yeah, it is a bit. UPDATE: Unfortunately after less then 2 months my Fold 3 has started to crack along the fold. It started small but a few days later it's spread and is now 1/3rd the length of the fold. Time to see if the Amazon Renewed returns scheme actually works :( UPDATE 2: After multiple messages with the seller and returning the phone I can confidently say that the Amazon Renewed promise doesn't exist. The seller refused to refund me and even blamed me for the fault. Amazon customer service by email said they couldn't help because of "health and safety"... no, I'm not kidding they really did. Speaking to Amazon on the phone I was told the promised "dedicated Amazon Renewed" one stop customer service representatives don't actually exist and they were powerless to make the seller stick to the promised 1 year Amazon backed Renewed Guarantee... I feel like I've been conned.

Venduto come "ricondizionato in condizioni eccellenti di grado A+" ma presenta dei graffi evidenti sulla scocca posteriore e sulla cornice anteriore. In più la pellicola dello schermo interno è piena di bolle, sullo schermo piccolo, non c'è proprio la pellicola, ma non so se è previstaè. Il telefono, per il momento, funziona bene, ma non si può definire di grado A+. Samsung z fold 3.

Me llegó perfecto, sin arañazos ni desperfectos, con su caja. Solo faltaba el manual. El móvil es increíble. Ya no podría acostumbrarme a una pantalla de 6 pulgadas.

"Très déçu par cet achat reconditionné. Mon Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 présente un problème majeur : l'écran interne ne s'allume pas correctement à l'ouverture. Je suis obligé de retourner ou manipuler le téléphone pour qu'il fonctionne. Cela montre un défaut matériel évident qui n'a pas été corrigé lors du reconditionnement. De plus, il est possible que des pièces non d'origine aient été utilisées pour les réparations, ce qui remet en question la fiabilité et la qualité de ce produit. À éviter si vous cherchez un appareil en bon état."

Dopo poco il telefono ha presentato problemi all’apertura dello schermo interno ma l’assistenza risponde che essendo un prodotto accettabile può essere normale!!! Non penso visto che l’estetica può essere accettabile ma la funzionalità deve rimanere la stessa anche dopo utilizzo corretto del telefono!!! Mai più sto pensando di renderlo!!!!

Produit génial néanmoins commande en vert reçu en noir et rien n à était fait
