I realize the selling point for the Fold isn't the camera, and I'm ok with that. I wasn't sure about the decision to get this phone, but now that I've got the Slim Armor Pro case and everything set up the way I like, it's really starting to grow on me. I'm a habitual YouTube watcher and sitting around watching videos on this huge open screen is glorious.
Okay, I can get behind this when you are comparing this camera to another mobile phone camera. I get it and this isn't frustrating. Where I get the most frustrated is when people compare phone camera's to the Nikon/Cannon DSLR's and "...how crappy mobile camera's are compared to them..." when they are actually REALLY good for what they are.
I came from the Note 20 Ultra so these camera's on the Fold 3 are, for me, at least on-par. Compared to the S21, spec for spec, maybe not, but, as I said, I can't argue with that.
The camera on a phone, for me, is convenient and good to have everywhere.
