PROS:
- Gaming
- YouTube / Netflix / other 16:9 content (inside screen shows YouTube content much larger than ANY phone)
- Manga Reading
- Possible Kindle replacement (crease is noticeable)
Meh:
-Battery life isn't as bad as they say but still not great. I get about 6 hours SOT. Most days I end the day with 40-50% as an "average" user
- Front screen is useful, but narrow screen isn't the best to type. It's great for one-handed use
CONS:
- IT'S HEAVY. Way heavier than even a S22 Ultra (by about 23%)
- Thick boi. But also narrower than a S22 Ultra. Still pocketable
- Phone is slippery AF. Need a case. If you want something that doesn't add bulk I'd highly recommend Spigen Air Skin. Has a rubberized coating.

You'll want to message TForce on Twitter, often you can get them to unlock it before the 60 day policy. Use their unlock app to make sure it's unlocked before cancelling the plan.
Activation means that. Activate on ANY plan.
The only gotcha is most carriers require the phone active for 60 days to Unlock it (for use on another carrier), meaning if you're selling it you need to sell it to another AT&T customer. Or trade it in.

If anyone needs a case I'd highly recommend Spigen Air Skin unless you want something thicker.
This is a minimalist case with a rubberized coating. The phone is very slippery without it.

Edit:
Looks like I can't cancel online so I have to wait until it gets delivered. I also tried buying the fold and it says I'm not Upgrade Eligable (probably since I have the Flip on order). So, I'll need to return the Flip 3 (if I don't want it) and then go order the Fold 3 if it is still available for order.

It is heavy, making finding a good car mount a real trick... and I've gotten use to the thickness. I do have a very thin Spigen Air case on mine. No dents or dings yet. Helps provide a more tactile grip as well. I did have to replace the front factory screen protector (Had an annoying scratch that was bothering me), but otherwise it's been a champ.
With the 4 basically being a spec bump (And supposedly no S Pen silo), I'm going to hold off until the 5, which will likely be a new design iteration - lighter, thinner, s pen, etc.
