 Hey guys, Thunder E here and welcome to our video, which is all about tips and tricks on the Galaxy Z Fold 3. So if you are enjoying this for the very first time, go ahead and smash the subscribe button, notification icon to get more videos like this and hopefully you are enjoying it on the channel. Now as you see here I have the Z Fold 3 but before we get into the tips and tricks, I want to talk about the Z Fold S Pen case here. This is the one from Samsung, this is the case that everyone has seen and talked about you've seen in my other video and this case is an interesting one because it's got a lot of potential but it's not that great. So as you can see right here, the front cover display doesn't actually stay on, it just flaps open, there's no magnet so it doesn't stay on, so that's something to take note. So this will always be like that and when you open it up you can see the front cover also becomes elongated a little longer than the case itself. So it makes it a bit more difficult while you're using it, it makes it feel like you're using a bigger device. Now if you lay it flat with the S Pen, you can see it doesn't stay flat, you can however take this out so that's something you can do, you can just slide this off and this will release the S Pen and of course then you can now use it flat. I do like the idea of this case, hopefully we'll see manufacturers like Speedian give you something different. Having said the S Pen though, one quick thing before we get some more S Pen tips is that on your device like the Galaxy S21 Ultra here, you can use the S Pen on it but it's only for navigation, it does not work for things like taking notes. So for instance I cannot bring up the S Notes feature, I have to go into the app itself and when I try to write on the display, it doesn't write. So the S Pen does not work on this device and vice versa, your S Pen from your S21 Ultra or your Note, if you check out my Note video, will not work on this device and you'd be prompted with that message. So if you're using this S Pen, don't do that. The main reason is because the S Pen on the Z Fold is retractable, you can see that there that basically retracts, if you push hard enough, it will actually bounce back. So there you go. The S Pen does not work on the cover display, it will not work, I repeat, it will not work so that's something you shouldn't try to do. The S Pen will only work with the internal display. Okay so with the S Pen, we've got our of course our edge panel, which you can quickly access and you can customize your edge panel too as well and you can also pin your edge panel. That's something that's added to the Galaxy Z Fold 3. So you've got that option here and you've got the cards where you can go in and select different cards and tap this for weather and my weather card should be updated now. So I go ahead and I have that. So that's something that's nice and easy to do, you can unpin it if you want to and so on and so forth. It's a very simple thing. Now with the S Pen itself, you do have of course full S Pen functionality. So you've got your commands, you can go ahead and use the list of tools on the S Pen. You can create notes, view all notes, smart select, which of course is basically taking screenshot, screen rights, live messages, I'm not sure who does that anymore but it's still there, air doodles, translate, pen up and then you can add more from shortcuts. Now you don't have to add S Pen applications, you can add any application in so I can put in say for instance Call of Duty which I like to play or you can put in any other application on this list here. These are the S Pen apps on top and then below that line, there's all the apps that you can use and boom. So you have that built in and then you can see I have Call of Duty right there. So all that functionality is built in and it's pretty simple and easy to use. I can go ahead and just take a screenshot of that and I can edit that, I can do whatever I want to, so on and so forth so you get the general idea. So with the S Pen you can customize more of the S Pen features within the advance features. So you can go into S Pen and then you can turn off screen off memo, quick shortcuts, air view, show pointer, hover, commands, so on and so forth sounds and then of course here's some tips to using your S Pen here. It doesn't have the full Bluetooth functionality of the S Pen but again this is something that you can do quite effectively, some of the major features of the S Pen on this device. Okay, so let's go into our settings and jump into display. Now here of course you can change your refresh rate from adaptive to standard. So moving from 120 to 60 Hertz if you choose to, then you have a couple other functionalities like full screen apps. This will help push a lot of your apps to use the full display size 7.6 inches for the internal display. Certain apps just won't work so can't change settings for this app. Instagram is one of those corporates so for instance if I go to Instagram it's still going to kind of look like this in terms of where the app placement is. That's just the way it is. Not all apps behave like that but you can force a lot of your apps to work on full screen which is good. Again that's just something that Instagram just won't do at this time. Then of course you've got your edge panel which is right here and you can customize your edge panel. We saw that earlier where you can go into the panels. You can select the panels you want and you can add more panels or tools or tasks to them so depending on what you're looking for you can add more things to your edge panel. And then you can also customize it with the handles. And then finally continue apps on cover screen. So this allows you to continue apps from the internal display and say maybe you want to close it up and then use the cover display. Public duty does not support this but games like Contra, Genshin Impact as well as also PUBG will support it and some of your apps will so you can actually force all these applications to do that. I have TikTok here so if I say go into TikTok and then you can continue from here into the internal display so it tends to refresh every time you switch over with something like TikTok but not every application is like that so I can try to go home with Twitter here and if we had to say we have Chad on this screen let's see if it stays on Chad it does. So it depends on the application but you can see you can switch from internal to the cover display. Now if we scroll a little bit lower to advanced features this is where you have some of the advanced features like they are spent using on this device. So you can continue apps on other devices which allows you to move apps or app functionality from one Samsung device to another. Compatible devices. Link to window is pretty simple you want to link it to windows itself so that will actually link with your desktop or your laptop PC and then you've got DeX which is actually built in here you've got DeX to TV or monitor so if you have like a wireless monitor your TV or to your PC itself you can do that and you just select the functionality right there. Android Auto you've got QuickShare and then Labs is a land for multi-window for all apps so you can actually use your apps in multi-windows and also customize aspect ratios if you choose to so you can select the applications there then you've got FlexMode panel where when the phone is full the upright and the apps you're using will appear in the top of the screen on the panel so you can select apps that will do that you can have it kind of float around so and you can also do things like go ahead and make it translucent if you want to so I can see you can see the verge underneath there while called you be still on there and then of course you can make it brighter so you can do that and that this brings us to of course using multiple applications at once so this is a perfect example of how you can actually have the screen split and still have functionality on both sides of course since this is multi-touch but this does a better job at that multi-display that we saw the likes of LG do with their dual display panels this just looks much cleaner much better and definitely has a better feel of it to it so very nice experience where you can have your gaming experience on one side which almost is like a standard smartphone but you can also increase that if you want to so you can go ahead and kind of move move this up if you choose so I can easily create more real estate for myself making it easier to you know make the screen bigger or smaller and still have that video there so it's a really nice way to use your device in a multiple fashion having in the halfway point where the crease is so when you fold it you have this kind of layout which is pretty cool again it's exactly where the crease is so you can have your game on the bottom you can have it on the top and it looks very seamless all together and then we have some accessibility functions things you can do to give you more the exterior use like your talk back functions you've got visibility enhancements hearings interactions advanced settings to use some more to add more customization to some of your keys like your volume keys you can add things like live transcribe magnify talk back to either volume up or down and then you've got flash notifications so so if you want to get more notifications to show you can actually have your camera flash and we can preview you can see it's I don't know if you can see that it's flashing right there and then screen flash and we can actually preview that so your screen will flash as well so you have those options there to customize some of your notifications and then honestly there is the tips and helps which will give you tips for using your z-fold what it's capable for they're 19 things here so so within the camera there are a few things you can do of course this is what the internal camera looks like and you can go into your camera settings and you've got a few camera features here that are you know they're pretty much standard to your galaxy devices but you do have cover view here where our preview sorry which allows you to preview all the images on the side and then you can also use the cover view to use your cover display as a viewfinder now when you tilt it in this is what happens giving you that ability to stand it and also use this as a viewfinder so you get an idea this is this is useful again you can just place it down take your photo and you are good to go all right guys hopefully that gave you a good idea of how you can use your galaxy z-flip three in many ways if you have any questions or any comments or you have more tips leave them down below so others can actually find out if you want to pick up the z-flip three or even this case I'll have links for you guys down below otherwise don't forget to like share subscribe and always enjoy your entertainment
