I just recently noticed that the fingerprint scanner can also pull down the notification panel (I was away from samsunf for 3 years so I don't know when this was introduced). I love it sometimes but when I type with phone opens, I find myself pulling the notification panel down constantly. Maybe next time, samsung could switch the volume and power button.

You can disable that in Settings.

I generally like this feature on my Pixel but on the Fold it was too sensitive and was triggering accidental pull downs. I turned it off immediately after how much irritating it was after few hours.

I just use the swipe down anywhere on the screen to bring notification panel.

I don't use it since I mainly hold phone with left hand... I have Accessibility / Assistant button turned on for when I want to click it to drop down notifications

I both love it and hate it. It's kinda fun to do, but I end up doing it accidentally way more than I'd like

Like how fast the fingerprint and face unlock is. I don't use it to swipe down the notifications tho.

I saw where some were complaining about face unlock using the inside screen. I wasn't really noticing any issue, but decided to capture an alternative look using the inside screen. Seems to be working pretty good.

You getting one ?

[ilordvader]

Yes, but here we will be getting it on 10Sep, so just a few more days

[Rafterman00]

As an iPhone user, I hate loving it.

I'm really digging this phone. Ever since my first tablet (some small Samsung tablet) I had wanted it to be my phone. I have big hands and bad eyes. I do wish it was a bit bigger. I'm 6'5" but this works well for me.

Disappointed the front screen does not support s pen

Love the fingerprint scanner. Works so much better than anything I have had before. Going to look how to disable the swipe down. Didn't know it was possible. Kind of annoying.

The action to fold open can be a bit challenging (for me) with big fingers or even one handed. Maybe a button to spring it open one handed will come in a later version. Or tabs to get a better grip to help open.

I do like the weight. Feels like I have something in my hand. Feels substantial.

When did lock screens with video happen? I love having my grand daughter on the video as I unlock!

Why do phone manufacturers make the phones so smooth / slippery? A matte finish or non slip coating would be wonderful. I guess they want to ensure case sales happen

Still learning. Only had it a couple of weeks. I really like Samsung devices but their customer care is the absolute worst!

[bandofbrothers2112]

You can disable that in Settings.

Where abouts is that in Settings please ?

Now that made me laugh thanks

That's good real world feedback..... I hope Samsungs reading this. Especially the part about them having the worst customer service ever, I've read that stated on here continuously for years now

But I guess if they were reading this they would have improved their customer service by now lol. Maybe they sell enough phones that they don't care about customer service ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Morty2264]

It seems to be a really solid device from what I've heard! I was initially unsure of it but it's opened up a ton of realizations for me (how do we store big phones; if it's folded you're checking notifications less often and aren't a slave to your phone), and I'm loving that!

Search side button in Settings.

Search side button in Settings.

I had never heard of this setting until seeing it here in the forums. On my AT&T devices it's under Advanced Features->Motions and Gestures->Finger Sensor Gestures.

So obvious! Not.

I think it's the same for all phones.

Nailed it. Waayyyy better than the under screen one on my Note 10+

[bandofbrothers2112]

I agree the fingerprint scanner is much better on the Fold³

Much better than the scanner on my Note 20 Ultra.

I like it even more now that I've turned it to always on so I'm not having to press the power button.

Now I just rest my finger on it and boom.

Love my z Fold 3
