Fold 3 on the beach?

[FACTagent]

Is there any way to safely use this phone at the beach? Don't unfold it and just use the cover screen? Samsung folio case that covers the hinge with the s-pen? Thanks.

I would try asking Fold 2 owners, although the 3 is better protected.

I don’t use a case only a skin ..throw it in pouch and take it out when needed for pics or call ..

Hey there!
You know if you want to use it wherever you might be, go ahead! There are places I won't use my phone and one is seaside/beach: too hot and too much sand.
My ZF2 goes wherever I go though if I'm on the sand walking - cool - going to be laying on the sand... nope. Too many orifices!
Good Luck! ✌

Right?!
Of course my other phone (my great N10+) is being traded in with my ZF2 to snag the ZF3 512gb!
I'm sure you'll like the yours!
Peace

In a zip lock bag?

I live less than a mile from the beach and have always brought my phones with me. Never use a case, never had an issue.

I think that's the problem for a lot of us. Hey at least we're keeping the economy going by making frequent purchases

I never bring electronics when I'm at the beach. Everything are left in the hotel room. Enjoy your time off and leave everything behind.

I have a watch with LTE and bringing my phone to the beach is not an issue.

Yep, that would be the day I take an old iPhone SE (gen 1) with me only. No way I'd take anything expensive that I'd care about. The sand will scratch the screen very quickly and get in places that you would never expect just by holding it (due to the wind).

I've never had a problem with sand but i understand the concern

Agree!

I've taken every smart phone I've ever had to the beach countless thousands of times and never had a problem, but I guess YMMV

Sand is probably the number one thing that will scratch your screen! But anyway, being this phone is not rated for dust protection, I think I will keep it away from the beach. I would probably bring my Note, but more realistically probably leave it all away and just avoid anything. I would probably gum up the buttons with sun tan lotion/oil at least.

Dust is much smaller than sand so I don't think it will be much of an ingress issue. Just don't drop it in the sand, but if you do hose it off.
