Samsung doesn't have America in a chokehold. China just can't afford to sell the phones globally. They are propping up the phone makers with govt money. These phones are not as cheap to make as they are selling them for. I'm not saying the phones aren't better than the fold btw. They clearly have better hardware but the business strategy is to put the competition out of business because no one buys Samsung anymore and then the price goes way up once they have a monopoly on the market.
Korea and USA are friends. Samsung has exclusive Google software features. As far as hardware the Chinese brands are far superior and innovative, it unfortunate that their software is not made for the West.
@@badimpulses17It was obvious even way before Trump's trade war vs Huawei. Not because they were spying but because they were catching up to Samsung and Apple. Xiaomi also temporarily banned iirc.
It's not ideal, but as someone with a Fold 4 the creases always look way worse off-axis. If you're actually looking at it straight on (like you would when using it) they look far better.
The Xiaomi is much closer to what a true foldable should be! I’m not sure what the battery life is, but if they can get it to a decent level, that’s the way to go! Two things need to happen when you fold it out. It needs to run tablet apps and manufacturers need to do a better job to reduce the crease. It may not go away completely, but get it close!
UFFFF, the way these Chinese phones makes a crackling noice when he opens it ( 2:14) and triple crease (6:48 and 6:53)) ..no bueno lo l. Don't forget with these Chinese phones you are sacrificing some build quality, support, more updates, and software optimization and features of something like the Z fold 6. Z fold with its OneUI is ahead of the game for sure, but they do need to put better cameras :)
For the first time since release this is the first video I see a clear hands on review of Mix Fold 4. Can I request you to do a comparison between Mix Fold 4 and Honor Magic V3? Which one you recommend?
It's basic common sense. It's easier to hold when the overall thickness is thinner. That's of course you want to hold around the camera bump instead, but that's a you problem.
I have both 2 & 3 both amazing, not much has changed though.... I might skip this. I hope they introduce micro SD slot in fold 5.... 1tb is not enough anymore.
Wait to pass 2/3 months after your warranty and the sim and bluetooth and wifi will stop working, I have a z fold 4 and happen to me after 1 year and 3 months, are totally trash this foldable from Samsung, I am sorry I don't buy in the past a xiaomy foldable
being a Z Fold 4 user, I admire that thing, this phone has very less space between fold and it's a very good thing. But performance wise Samsung is on edge.
I buy a Zfold 4 from Manila who transform in a garbage after 1 year and 4 months ( wifi and sim2 don't work anymore) I never dropped the phone I always keep it in his case with hinge protection
I don't mind I still love my samsung fold 5 I love it for its tiny size that makes it special The inner size is sufficient for me It does everything I do on my laptop
6:49 Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 retains the lovely full sized inner and outer display that I love so much. The screen size that represents a phone first concept with a bonus tablet form factor is a must-have bargain for every consumer.
Maybe its the video and the angles but that crease looks way worse than the Magic V2. I think we need a crease comparison video of the Mix Fold 4 vs. Magic V3.
I think the vivo its better, 5100mAh on xiaomi and 5700mAh on the vivo, there are 600mAh of difference, and vivo counts with 100aw vs 67W of the xiaomi
This issue is with this thinness of it is it can break easily as well from the middle or can get damage or can be bend. I hope its durable/strong enough. I think i shouldn't be thinner than vivo's phone as it is thin enough. But out of all three phones, galaxy fold 6 look far better as well as premium as far as the looking parts goes. I am not a fan of z fold phones though.
@@bigjohn1717True. Used market sellers in my place rarely show the inner screens on their posts. It's also very rare to see old models like OG folds/flips while some like S20U are still sold in significant numbers.
Micro SD support needs to make a comeback. 1TB is not enough. Before someone comes in with "X Storage is more than enough", because if that were true, we'd still be stuck with 64GB storage in phones.
The xioami is just too big and wide when opened. Not a good inner screen experience. Thats the catch 22 of foldables--fix the outer screen, screw the inner screen. The Oneplus open is a good compromise but i still prefer the zfold 6's inner screen. Samsung made a decent compromise and actually noticeably changed the aspect ratio vs the fold 4/5
That round look is very dated to me, just being honest and I've had everything from Huawei Mate 20X to One Plus. But then again I also just got my ZF6 navy this morning and the ULTRA:)
Hi ALL, I have the worst experience with Samsung, so I'll never recommend their products. I liked Xiaomi's software and hardware previously. And still like their software "if it is a global ROM". Waited 3 years to buy the Mix Fold, but finally gave up and bought the 3. Love it and hate it. Love the hardware, hate the chinese software. Notifications don't get delivered or delivered late. Have to open outlook and teams to get notifications. Wear os Don't work and that's prevented me from buying the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro because I won't be able to pair it to the phone..... If they don't release a global version, think a lot before buying a chinese ROM . I wish they contact me to resolve these issues but even their feedback app is too slow uploading and would not finish most of the times.
Yeah, the Honor Magic V3 has had more confirmation it is launching with a global ROM. The Mix Fold 3 is excellent, but that reflects my experience too. I've been testing the Vivo X Fold 3 which launched in India, and that works perfectly in the UK. Possibly worth keeping an eye on Vivo when it's time to upgrade, and of course Honor. Hopefully Xiaomi will confirm the Fold 4 for global markets soon. Basil
@@DarkSandmaN666 it's super easy to put Google Apps on Chonese Xiaomi phones. Just install the Google Play Store APK and you're done. No blocks like Huawei.
I played a bit with the samsung fold 6 in the store and what I noticed was that its kind of hard to open it since the sides are flat. Its harder to get a grip with your finger to bend it open. And I kept constantly long pressing the power button which is annoying.
Xiaomi fold 4 Front camera is bad. Only 1080p 60fps. While zfold 6 is 4k 60fps. Then the hinge can't keep same position when open over 120 degree. Best foldable phone is Honor V3 right now at it has 4k 30fps
All these new foldables are a mixed bags in terms of what they are offering. I like software experience and boxy design of fold 6 but functionality wise, both vivo and Xiaomi offer more features than fold 6 besides AI. I still don't like the main screen design where they opt for an asymmetrical curved screen. It doesn't feel satisfying to see.
I think this is probably the worst design of Xiaomi's foldables so far, in my opinion anyway :) not a bad looking phone, just doesn't really appeal to me compared to their previous iterations
I've noticed something no one mentions after using foldables, that they never open fully flat after a couple of months of use. To be honest I've only used samsung foldables.
The thinner, the more sacrifice. I gotta say the crease turned me off, and that huge camera bump, wow. I'll stick with Samsung for now. Close but no cigar.
That depends on whether you prioritise battery life or design. The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro's huge battery is class-leading for a foldable so it lasts for over a day comfortably. It also has in-display fingerptint scanners and more neutral photo processing. If you like a higher-contrast look, though, and value design more, then on first impression the Mix Fold 4 is the winner. Hope that helps! Basil
Now that's a fold worth getting. The outer display is actually the size of a full sized phone, unlike the Z Fold.
I'm loving my zFold 6 and just trust the hardware/software more on Samsung either way.
@@EverythingEvo I demoed one in store and it just isn't for me
I like the form factor on the zfold more, one handed use is like a dream here
The vivo x3 fold pro beats them all.
@@thesurvivor4028 It indeed does have a massive battery
The Honor Magic V3 is thinner at 9.2mm (folded), but it is still amazing to see manufacturers achieve pretty impressive goals
Oppo and Xiomi folds look amazing. I wish they were easy to get in the US like the Pixel and Z Fold.
I really hope the global rumours come true, I really want this phone. Such a pity Samsung has Europe and America in a choke hold.

Yooo Samsung ceo, watch what foldable should be.
After 5 iterations, Samsung should have been the thinnest, with minimal and almost unoticeable crease but sadly.........
Samsung greedy
How are they even pulling off this kind of technology, this so futuristic.
This would be a serious competition to Samsung if it comes to the states!

Nicely explained, expecting more detailed folding phones comparisons, especially on daily usage. 👍
Just got the Z fold but deng this looks amazing wish samsung gave us more in the USA

That seems to be the only fallout with xiaomi mix 4
It's not ideal, but as someone with a Fold 4 the creases always look way worse off-axis. If you're actually looking at it straight on (like you would when using it) they look far better.
Please can you review Vivo Xfold 3 pro , Honor Magic V3 and Xiaomi Mix Fold 4? Including their display, battery and loudspeakers. Thank you
I will buy Honor Magic V3. I think it is the best affordable foldable phone of 2024.
Me too
The Fold 2 design still looks the best!

Where do you expect the camera equipment to go in such a thin device? Sensors and lenses need space

Well done Bro thanks for the detailed review and comparison
I'll say this about all foldables, as expensive as all these are and with all that real estate how do foldables still not have quad speakers ?
on top of that, they come bundles with just average speaker quality. very sad~
What does it look like with the case on?
I'd like to see an XL version also in the fold 5 more real estate
Great review!!! damn dream phone!!!! sub from the Philippines

Can you please check whether google pay and Google maps timeline works on this phone?
xiomi, honor, vivo, oppo. all have taken over samsung fold. fold is a good 3 gen behind all of them in hardware.
it would be so good without the camera sticking out, i dont care if its the best of the best cameras.
Please do camera compare on this 3 devices

Crease doesn't look nice on the video. Overall good review. Thx
Curved or rounded edges will make the phone slip in you hand. It's better to have squared or boxy edges like in samsung.
How about eye fatigue en de dc dimming?
They are saying that the inner display crease is very bad in Xiaomi fold 4 compared to honor vivo and even Samsung is that true?
By the looks of it on this vid, it does look awful.

The crease looks awful but I like the camera design, hoping theyll keep that on the xiaomi 15 series
Let's talk about the functionality. I have bad experience with Chinese brand phones. Samsung has always stood out when it comes to functionality.
Looks inspired from pixel Fold. Sides, opening etc. offcourse size aspect ratio are diff. If u have a pixel fold then u wl understand it.
