Hi @bluace 

I purchased my Samsung Fold³ direct from Samsung UK not long after it was initially launched.

In regards to the route your considering acquiring one also take note of any Cooling Off Period,  just incase it's not for you.

I created a thread in regards to my first impressions here > Samsung Fold³ -my-first-thoughts-and-impressions.  Perhaps take a look.

Here is another from another member here > my-z-fold-3-first-impressions. 

There are other similar posts from other members via a forum search.

Also there are some really good reviews on YouTube.

Take into account there are always going to be differing points of view as we all want different things from a device.

In regards to my personal usage I'm not a gamer although I have tried some out and I've had no complaints. I use YouTube extensively. 

My colleague at work plays COD and CoinMaster to name a couple along with watching films and he's had no negative comments about the battery.

Just to reiterate what I always say about Battery Usage and Stats.

Battery is a subjective topic as we all set up our phone's differently and use different apps and app preferences. We have different Usage Habits.

We have different signal strengths.

When purchasing a new Samsung phone be aware it's in a learning phase initially and learns your usage pattern, so Battery usage time's at first may not be outstanding until this phase has been completed.

I find the 7.6" is plenty big enough for most tasks.

Turning the phone into landscape mode brings another dimension.

The Fold³ also shows it's power when multi tasking and using split screen mode.

So I power up my Fold³ at 5am and use it my way until 9pm when I power it down. It's rare not to have 60% + Battery left.

I'm more than happy to share anything further you may need to know about the Fold³ and my settings and usage etc. 😎

Perhaps pop into a Samsung Experience Store and or Network Store and have a play with a working retail demo model to see what you think after some initial hands on.

Shout out to @Anonymous User for mentioning me and yes your right  👍

You're very welcome @bluace 

The starter kit is good.

Especially as it comes with the Fold³ sPen and charging brick.

I personally do not use the included case but I do use the sPen silo that slides off from it to carry around the sPen. 

Enjoy.
