Thank you!!! And for your support all these years. I keep my format despite people saying videos are too long and boring. At least hopefully you get a good idea of what to expect.
Since the first time I used a foldable, I can't go back to regular smartphone. I had a Fold 3. The screen cracked only 8 months of use. Then, I went back to iPhone and skipped the Fold 4, because it wasn't that much of an upgrade, the cameras sucked, too. Pre-ordered Fold 5 and Samsung gave me a Galaxy Watch for free and 512GB version for the 256GB price. Pretty good deal. But they did forget to add the insurance for the screen I ordered and sadly, SamsungCare cannot be bought separately. But I didn't need it, the screen if fine. The screen protection film has just started to peel off right in the middle. I was waiting for the Fold 6, but if the leaks are correct, not much changed in the cameras. So, I'm skipping that one. The only reason to upgrade, in my opinion, is the durability. I fear my Fold 5 will give up soon. Been using it for 12 months straight and the only thing I miss is the Ultra camera setup. $2K for 4 year old cameras, that you can find on $400 phone. So, I'm now considering an alternative. I hear they are better and have much better cameras.
@@KevboKevthe tech community is just full of nitpicking nerds who think spec lists are their holy text. They can't be pleased, no matter what, they will find something to whine about, and it will 9 times out if 10 be a non issue. I think also now Samsung has kind of positioned itself as the iPhone of android, so a lot of that tribalism is being directed at them, in any comparison between a samsung device and another Android, the comments are full of people favouring android device X over the Samsung.
0:44 The fingerprint scanners are ultrasonic. 1:09 The phone ships with a 120W charger but only supports 100W wired charging. Plus, it supports 50W wireless charging. 4:58 It has no dust resistance whatsoever.
I have been using this phone for a week , it's awesome , super fast , battery life is great , camera is pretty good too , but the inside selfie camera is average , slightly better than fold 5, but everything else feels like a upgrade I changed from fold 5 to this , but the Samsung software and AI is definitely missed by me 😊
This is what worries me with changing from always using Samsung Ultras. I am so used to One UI and use Samsung email, calendar etc, so used to Gallery and photo editing on Samsung that I worry about a lesser software experience. Even though the Vivo's hardware is exactly what I want in a fold.
@@NathanElcoatesame here..I think samsung is going release fold 6 slim which have bugger screen and we will see what other upgrade they will get. I also waiting for honor magic v3 which will global launch in 5 September. There was a comment vivo is better than new fold honor. But honor have best durability aswell with other upgrades
I went into the video with; great, another review about a phone we will never see in the west and then you hit me with the first sentence of the video. Smacked me right down the middle.
Nice review, concerning the fingerprint sensor I truely find putting it in the on/of button much more conveniant. This makes unlocking the phone soo easy when you pick it up
@Techtablets I owned the fold3,4 and now 6 and I do like the narrow form factor, especially the additional mms we got after the 3 to the 6. I also like the One UI a lot in terms of functionalities, the pen and the vingerprint scanner. What don't like compared to the fold 4 is that they got rid of the swipe down on the fingerprint scanner for the notification menu (since fold5). That was very useful.
that new kitten picture of "snow" I LOST IT LOL 😂 but also 🥰😍 such a little cutie anyways thanks for another great video, I need these ones as I'm strongly considering one of these foldables depending on if Fold 6 has anything worth going for.
It's not "global" as you think. It's just an x fold 3 market for Indonesia or India. You will still have problems with warranty or after-sales support. Plus in Malaysia, the Chinese pro version will cost as much as z fold 6 that are officialy from Samsung Malaysia. And the so-called "global" version will cost you more. Not worth it. I will wait for malaysian release of x fold 3 or maybe just go with ease of mind z fold 6.
4:00 btw there is a white color version of the global X Fold3 Pro, but it's only sold in Indonesia so you gotta find an importer who can get phones from there
Global? It's not available in Australia , how did you get one in what i assume is NZ? Will it be available in Australian stores? I sure af ain't paying for yhis phone if it's online only, rather buy a galaxy z fold in a retail store for peace of mind.
Thanks for the detailed review! I’m particularly concerned about the screen crease. Could you compare the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro and the OnePlus Open in terms of how noticeable and problematic the screen crease is on each device?
Is there Horizontal splitscreen? Reviewers dont really have an idea on how splitscreen works. How many windows can you split not including pop up windows. Option for all Apps to force multiwindows?
hey, yes it does support horizontal multitasking, but not all apps support this sadly. certain full screen games do not support it for example. and some apps dont support multitasking at all.
Good review as always. You didnt mentioned the bands its using but being global hopefully have all common bands available. Also where to get it from? Thx
It works with the Xreal glasses but it doesn't have anything like DEX so it's an underwhelming experienced with it. Best you can do is use VLC and output to the Xreal as second display
Hi, at 14:10 in the video you say that you can stretch the app over the area reserved for the status bar whilst in landscape. Is this a global setting that applies to all apps within Funtouch's system setting? And if so why do you have it turned off? Does it negatively affect app usage? Also are I notice there is no taskbar, are you hiding that as well? Or is it like the pixel fold where you swipe up to show the taskbar? And final question (sorry) what is the launcher customisation like? Can you hide app labels (the name under the app icon)? Thanks in advance, great video.
originOS handles it better I’m sure as it wasn’t stretched but still a gap you can set to hide the camera but then that’s a big black bar. As for the taskbar at the bottom I hide that yes I prefer using the whole screen.
1:45 funny you mention kickstand cases, the X Fold3 Pro has the opposite of flex mode where if you place the phone face down while partially unfolded the cover screen will instead turn on as if it has a kickstand (but turn on Smart Screen Shift on the settings)
I showed that in the video but I mean to have the whole screen and the kickstand case to prop it all up not the phone itself loosing half the screen is a bit silly.
Great video. I have vivo X Fold 1 and it's fantastic. X Fold 3 Pro camera seems could get better shots even, if you confim there's a eligible difference from previous X Fold
hey Chris, I'm thinking of switching from iPhone to this foldable one. I am wondering with the larger screen, do you use a stylus for annotating and drawing?
@@adrianmcelvenny I have a Chinese one coming in the next week or so. I'm in the UK and will be looking to put on Google Wallet, Android Auto etc. If you're still interested I can report back
Awesome phone. I just wonder how a folding phone would do compared to a none folding phone in the hands of a person that drops them every few months. Is it likely to be damaged in some way quite easily, or typically do they do comparably well after being dropped. Does anybody know? Thanks for the awesome video Chris.
Great video, big fan and loving the content. I want to ask about desktop mode on the Mix Fold 4 does it have it now and can it display that mode on xr glasses via usb-c video out to xreal glasses or other glasses. Also does the Honor Magic v3 desktop mode work well with xreal air 2 pro glasses and in general did you like that desktop mode. Thanks.
Hello techphablet, I'm in here in los Angeles. I'm a big fan of you and I wanna ask you a question. Why does your Vivo x fold don't have animation when opening the phone. Maybe the global version doesn't have animation.
Nice review. How does it compare to the Vixo X100 series? Speaking of cameras, it's been a while since you reviewed a Huawei foldable. I know that they were supposed to be really good in this area.
@@Techtablets All cool! When I got the phone I was also confused since I sometimes read that the pro version supports 120w and the non pro does 100w but that is just people being confused. I think almost everyone gets it wrong including me haha.
How is the notification icons in AOD? I saw from other videos, it shows that only 4 icons at max will be shown on AOD, while after unlocked the phone, then all the notifications are visible?
I wonder if this one will come to Sweden. Looks more promising than Samsung fold 6. Been using Fold 3 and Fold 4 and now i want to try something new. Was thinking about Oneplus Open, but this one got my full attention.
Nobody really has access to any parts for this in the US. I called a few places. If I import this phone into the US and break it I feel it would be very difficult to get it fixed. Does anyone have any leads or suggestions besides don't break it 😊
I still use the K30 Pro Zoom Edition and it's still running perfect.Even the Batterie.Imported it 4 years ago to Germany but it's time for something new and next Week the X100 Ultra will arive 😍
Yes The K30Pro Zoom realy was something special.The only thing i miss is a 90Hz Display and it would have been the pervect midrange Phone in2020.Back than Smartphones were fun and exciting.Since then the X100Ultra is the first Phone i'm realy interested in and excited to use.
Is it possible to update the Chinese rom version to global rom? None of them are available in Norway, but I have a chance now to get my hands on the Chinese version.
I Love foldable devices! Made the switch on a fold 3, and haven't looked back. But, no stylus support(and I have a Xiaomi Mix Fold 3), is something I just can't overlook. Pretty devices, yes, but I need to be able to write, when needed..
Oneplus Open and Find N3 Fold have the style support not as thin and light but very good foldables. The Magic V2 I reviewed worth noting but not as good software.
@@Techtablets actually my issue with "my" V2, isn't the software at all. It's the inner screen that I've had replaced once(sent back to China on my 170.00 some), and did the same once again. As I said, I've had foldables, and not one screen issue. On the V2, it has happened twice in less than 6 months.. The software isn't perfect, but neither is Samsungs (and this comes from over a decade of Samsung exclusively) whatsoever. Not to mention, the price of the folds, along with Samsung being stuck in a "broken mold". And one plus, just never been a fan of them or their devices..
I remember that lcd screens at school, that were without solid glass, creating mosaic and rainbow at touch... but colors/contrast were nice. should be something similar with foldables.
Average Dad Tech Store has Global and Chinese ROM. Ships to the USA. Chinese ROM is nearly £700 cheaper (UK based) so you would have to really want that Global ROM for the price difference!
You can get the global version for £1600 everything included from Trinity Electronics which is £160 cheaper than average dad and obviously average dad is buying it from Trinity Electronics and then selling it (I don't trust that guy at all) so the difference between the global and Chinese version is only £420. Average dad has the Chinese version for £1150 + 30 shipping.

Is it really "global" since so far being released only in India and Indonesia? I really hope they release in a lot more countries, not just 2 countries.
He's great, the poor guy was dumped in a box with 2 others next to a trash dumpster. Vera isn't too happy about it so far but getting better. I feel bad for her it's a big change.
Hi ALL, This question if vivo fans or users. Does the vivo x fold 3 pro support dual apps? For any app like xiaomi. Not only for a few messengers like samdung. Also, does it have second space? Regards,
Fold has the best quality, no one is pushing anyone to buy it out of the will. I am a mulitiple brand user of phones, honor is good for camera, quality cheaper, i have fold and its perfect for work its so classy and software is good. You cant get a perfect phone so get atleat two for options. Its funny every time there is a phone people are looking and searching for bad sides always.. too much complaining. Just dont buy it if you dont want it. Every brand has a goodness and its not perfect but the durability of samsung is the best you cant deny it. They are giving always a good deal, no one is doing that.
I got the white one under origin OS and I gotta say that my outer screen is exactly the same than my inner screen. Dunno why you say otherwise. We got settings about it and we can enable or disable it 😅 Love Origin OS and after spending lots of time on it, everything looks like a global one. Love it so much 💪 💯
Yes but I was just showing how that is a good thing having it the same so you know where you're apps are close or open. OriginOS seems better optimised and those widgets it has. Even the gallery photo editor has more features on the Chinese ROM.
I don't know...I wouldn't reust my finances being on that phone... and If something happens, how would the customers service be? I'll stick to the Fold for the 5th year in a row
Niceeeee I'm really liking the ratio off the screen.... now if it only had Samsung quality material, and Samsung One UI and Samsung fold features ,and S Pen and Galaxy AI features.... but one can only dream 😊

Quite literally the only foldable I'm looking up to right now. Looking real good, shame Vivo doesn't exist in Europe. We gotta bring them over.
Yet they are the official phone of the Euro cup. That makes no sense if they don't sell their phones in Europe 😂
That's actually good point. But it may be part of marketing - building up hype before entering the market fully, perhaps? 🤔
In France we got Vivo products on shelves

@@Techtablets actually my issue with "my" V2, isn't the software at all. It's the inner screen that I've had replaced once(sent back to China on my 170.00 some), and did the same once again. As I said, I've had foldables, and not one screen issue. On the V2, it has happened twice in less than 6 months.. The software isn't perfect, but neither is Samsungs (and this comes from over a decade of Samsung exclusively) whatsoever. Not to mention, the price of the folds, along with Samsung being stuck in a "broken mold". And one plus, just never been a fan of them or their devices..
@TechTablets
Can it use a S-Pen with future updates?
Nope.
@@Techtablets thanks! I guess i will go to honor V3 then :) Thanks alot for answering!
The global or the Chinese one which is better and how much is both devices please
Chineses model has no Android auto but I think originOS is better.
I remember that lcd screens at school, that were without solid glass, creating mosaic and rainbow at touch... but colors/contrast were nice. should be something similar with foldables.
Indeed Vivo is good, been using Vivo X Fold gen 1 until today no issue happen, only few bugs like camera high resolution, other than that no issue.
Great phone and review. Only wish that BBK Group use same OS in all global versions... they are just better overall.
It would be nice as the OxygenOS and ColourOS UI is better overall than FunTouch. The Find N3 Fold it's so good the software.
i really dont get why Vivo doesnt use OriginOS for all countries
Make a hinge at 5mm is crazy good.
Fit 2 screens (for the 'left' part) at 5mm? Mindblowing
It’s very thin amazing what they can do now
Honor v3 with 4,4mm !!
There is no insurance for it in the U.S. right, just in case it breaks?
If you import it, you would have to return it for any warrenty fixes.
Where can I pick up global version I’m in the USA or should I get the Chinese version ?
Average Dad Tech Store has Global and Chinese ROM. Ships to the USA. Chinese ROM is nearly £700 cheaper (UK based) so you would have to really want that Global ROM for the price difference!
@@JT74 ok,why such a big difference in price between global and Chinese
You can get the global version for £1600 everything included from Trinity Electronics which is £160 cheaper than average dad and obviously average dad is buying it from Trinity Electronics and then selling it (I don't trust that guy at all) so the difference between the global and Chinese version is only £420. Average dad has the Chinese version for £1150 + 30 shipping.
@@raylegend808be aware that the Chinese version comes with a lot of problems such as no android auto, no Google wear os (4.0 or newer) watch connectivity, no Google feed when you swipe to the left, no hey Google or ok Google so you'll have to click on the mic button to use it, missing notifications from time to time even though you enable everything, a lot of apps are not optimized for the inner screen (that's the whole point of getting a foldable phone) so get used to the weird shap apps when you use the inner screen, Google one cannot back up your data for some reasons, no Al features that are included in the global version like Al note assist, Al transcript assist, Al screen Translation, you can not share your Google maps timeline, your notifications won't show up in your always on display for vast majority of apps, no notifications badge for most apps.

Can’t find anywhere selling the global version, sooo keen to order one too
Very hard to find right now no idea why?
is it notifications from whatsapp available on the AOD?
Where we can get the global version?
Trinity Electronics or eBay...i don't know if we can get it from other websites
Very beautiful device, but for me the lack of a stylus support is unacceptable in a fold phone.
@techtablets where can i buy this?
Is it really "global" since so far being released only in India and Indonesia? I really hope they release in a lot more countries, not just 2 countries.
Where to buy this global version in the UK?
Average dad store UK, costs £1750
Hi. Where do I buy the global version from? I usually buy my phones from wonda
Where can I purchase the phone?
it doesn't support pressure sensitive stylus, right? EMR or AES pens
Sadly it doesn't it's the worst part about it.
@@Techtablets and there's no desktop mode
your new kitten oh my 😻😭
hows vera handling the new flatmate
He's great, the poor guy was dumped in a box with 2 others next to a trash dumpster. Vera isn't too happy about it so far but getting better. I feel bad for her it's a big change.
Hi ALL,
This question if vivo fans or users.
Does the vivo x fold 3 pro support dual apps? For any app like xiaomi.
Not only for a few messengers like samdung.
Also, does it have second space?
Regards,
Where did you get the little grass type plant?
Fold has the best quality, no one is pushing anyone to buy it out of the will. I am a mulitiple brand user of phones, honor is good for camera, quality cheaper, i have fold and its perfect for work its so classy and software is good. You cant get a perfect phone so get atleat two for options. Its funny every time there is a phone people are looking and searching for bad sides always.. too much complaining. Just dont buy it if you dont want it. Every brand has a goodness and its not perfect but the durability of samsung is the best you cant deny it. They are giving always a good deal, no one is doing that.
I wish the bloody outer screen was normal with width
@@davebassi7340i glad the cover screen is narrow. Comin from s22 ultra myself
19:48 good model. Hope being compensated handsomely. ❤
Sure is
Once you have tried it, you will agree this Xfold3 is the best foldable now!
Where did you buy the global version ?
Vivo sent this to me. But I believe it will be out soon across Europe.
Hi do you know if it is coming to the UK? Or Europe? @@Techtablets
I got the white one under origin OS and I gotta say that my outer screen is exactly the same than my inner screen. Dunno why you say otherwise. We got settings about it and we can enable or disable it 😅
Love Origin OS and after spending lots of time on it, everything looks like a global one. Love it so much 💪 💯
Yes but I was just showing how that is a good thing having it the same so you know where you're apps are close or open. OriginOS seems better optimised and those widgets it has. Even the gallery photo editor has more features on the Chinese ROM.
@@Techtablets indeed and cheaper, plus the white color is magnificent 🤗
@@daoueiI bought the white too but use the black case from Nilkin haha
When taking video w the phone open can it show preview on the front screen?... The Google Fold didn't but the Zfold does... weird.
No only when you use it in vlog mode recording yourself.
vivo has always made the best foldables in terms of specifications and features.
Compared with samsung fold which one to buy.
Fold 6
I wish can get this phone but my only problem is not going to work on Verizon network
I don't know...I wouldn't reust my finances being on that phone...
and If something happens, how would the customers service be?
I'll stick to the Fold for the 5th year in a row
Fair point, it is a bit of a gamble for extra hardware specs
Yes, totally agreed that this is my first foldable phone and the best....nice video anyway.
Where can i buy it?
Does it work in the US?
UD camera is must have for inner screen especially considering that quality doesn't seem that different on vivo X Fold 3 Pro
The quality is waaaaay better than the quality of an UD Camera, especially for video recording
This is looking better than the Galaxy Fold 6! Seriously considering, but need to know if it works with Android Auto? 🙏
Yes the global version works fine with Android auto in my car.
@@Techtablets Thank you!
Does wireless android auto work as well? Or does it require a USB cable?
Why does the inner screen have a cutout? :(
Niceeeee I'm really liking the ratio off the screen.... now if it only had Samsung quality material, and Samsung One UI and Samsung fold features ,and S Pen and Galaxy AI features.... but one can only dream 😊
