Just wanted to say thank for the IR remote tip! I recently got a fan that was unable to work with the international app and unable to work with the chinese app due to it being region locked. Was cracking my head for days on troubleshooting but you totally solved that issue! Love your channel, very straightforward no fluff reviews and got to say, that Scottish accent is killer.
I know that your question is for Mike, but for me, I'd go with the X Fold 3, Vivo has better and easier software, better camera optics and software and personally I like how it looks better too.
When using the back cameras for selfies and the front display as the viewfinder do you have any hints getting around stumbling about to push the shutter button blind?
Is watching netflix/youtube on the vivo bigger than watching it on the z fold 5 or honor v2 or one plus open when devices are held in landscape orientation ? Maybe you could show us a comparison in another video Thank you
Can the widgets stretch across the middle of the unfolded display or always separated into left and right panes? How much in the way of Chinese characters will you see in using built in apps?
Great video Mike and I know that it comes with a 120w charger but Vivo says that it can only accept 80w charging. The 120w charger is probably leftover stock from the X Fold 2
Good video! I bought the X Fold 3 (regular) based on your recommendation from previous videos as well! I just had one question; How does one force portrait split screen mode for vivo x fold 3? Everytime I use split screen it only gives me the option to use two apps horizontally (in such that one app is on the left and one on the right, instead of one at the top and bottom of the screen). When pressing the three dots in the center of the screen, the option for 'portrait split screen' is faded and unable to be performed while the phone is unfolded. This is referenced in the video at 06:22, but my phone doesn't give me this option. Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you for uploading today's video. I know my request is niche, but if you get a chance can you show if the phone can be plugged into a TV (display out) if it has that feature or confirmed if it does not work if possible. Great video, keep it up 👍
OK, the photos aren't like a flagship phone as you said, but... How are they? Any comparison with another phone to get an idea please. I wanna buy this device but only once I'll be aware of the cameras value. Thks mate 😉
Can you have several gmail accounts with this Chinese version? I heard that once you sign in to google with your gmail, in order to get play store etc, you must stick with that gmail account and you can’t switch back and forth between different gmail accounts. Otherwise it screws up the Google services.
Another brilliant video. Thank you bud. Listen, I was by an Galaxy s23 user that vivo x fold 3 is actually pretty poor in Phone, WhatsApp and Telegram call sound. Is there any truth in that?
As its a Chinese ROM, how is the translation to English in the user interface? Is there any place its suddenly switch to Chinese or terrible English translation in the Android standard dialog or vivos OriginOS?
I really dont understand why Origin OS is your #2 favorite android skin. Looks almost identical to Magic OS 7.2 except floating window on the Honor is much easier to use.
Telegram, WhatsApp and facebook messenger are my main ways to connect with folks. Any issues you've encountered with delayed notifications on these apps?
so a couple of things here.... 1 - this is only your experience and nobody else has reported this issue si very iresponsible to tell people, not to buy as issyes happen to all phones even if very rare! 2 - YOU DID NOT BUY THIS FROM ME!!
Happy with my Vivo X Fold 3! Thanks to Average Dad and Wonda Mobile!
Can you check if there is WiFi calling?
no

That iR remote widget is CRAZY
Vivo x fold 3 vs Honor Magic v2? Is vivo the winner? Which would you pick?
I know that your question is for Mike, but for me, I'd go with the X Fold 3, Vivo has better and easier software, better camera optics and software and personally I like how it looks better too.
Does ok Google work on this phone
the Google assistant app works
@@AverageDadOfficial thank you very much. Just operated the pro today. Hoping for a smooth transition.
Take the vivo x fold 3 pro Bro ❤🎉❤
Can't believe no one else on youtube isttalking about this...this the original iphone levels of changing the game for smartphones
Looking forward to watching this in my AM
Thnx for the video
Dose it support secure folder like samsung??
Can't wait to receive my vivo x fold 3 pro. Upgrading from the x fold plus
Thanks for the great video! What app is the IR blaster? I’m unable to find it from the kit list.

How do vivos software and security updates compare to the competition?
Can the widgets stretch across the middle of the unfolded display or always separated into left and right panes? How much in the way of Chinese characters will you see in using built in apps?
Nice review. Does Gpay and Samsung wearable app work on Vivo X fold3?
no
Great video Mike and I know that it comes with a 120w charger but Vivo says that it can only accept 80w charging. The 120w charger is probably leftover stock from the X Fold 2

Does it support Esim and stylus pen?
Seriously , is that countdown intro was add by YT or You ?? Best intro for waiting, all this beautiful machinery ❤❤
Does the regular vivo x fold 3 have L1 Widevine certification?
Thank you for uploading today's video. I know my request is niche, but if you get a chance can you show if the phone can be plugged into a TV (display out) if it has that feature or confirmed if it does not work if possible. Great video, keep it up 👍
Should you buy the Chinese rom or wait for the global one?
there will not be a global version
Great video. I love software tours
Hi, nice video. Is it likely other smartwatches could connect to the vivo such as Huawei GT3? Thanks
Great video. Look forward to the Pro version content once you have it.
Coming soon!
I might hold off to see what XIAOMI MIX FOLD 4 will offer in specs... but the Vivo X Pro 3 is tempting as I am coming from a z fold 4
OK, the photos aren't like a flagship phone as you said, but... How are they? Any comparison with another phone to get an idea please. I wanna buy this device but only once I'll be aware of the cameras value.
Thks mate 😉
Can it take pictures of moving subjects(e.g. pets, kids etc) mostly blurry free?
Does Google Assistant work? I had the Vivo X Fold 2 and I had all kinds of problems getting it to work.
Looking forward, z fold 6.. now using fold 4❤
Should I get this over the plus open?
Whats the difference vs the vivo x fold 3? Just cameras?
Does this have a task bar like Samsung Z fold 5? , if yes then kindly cover it in your next video
There is no taskbar like oppo/samsung when using any app?
Nice video, any idea what the big difference will be between the cameras from this one and the Pro?
Other than better zoom lens, nothing noticeable i imagine
@@AverageDadOfficial thanks, i will await your findings
By any chance android auto works?
Simply, I trust you. So If u like it, I will buy it.
How is the funtouchOS/OriginOS software?
Got my x fold 3 Pro today!
Does OK Google work with that
no, but the Google assistant app does
where did you source that from?
Ready for the camera!!!!!!!!!!
How many years does vivo guarantee software updates?
3 or 4 now, you would need to check with them
Hi, does it have in the build in wallet the option to add access cards?
Google wallet
@@AverageDadOfficial I mean the vivo wallet or you have uninstalled it?
Does wifi calling work? The X Fold 2 didnt have wifi calling outside of China.
Can you have several gmail accounts with this Chinese version? I heard that once you sign in to google with your gmail, in order to get play store etc, you must stick with that gmail account and you can’t switch back and forth between different gmail accounts. Otherwise it screws up the Google services.
Another brilliant video. Thank you bud. Listen, I was by an Galaxy s23 user that vivo x fold 3 is actually pretty poor in Phone, WhatsApp and Telegram call sound. Is there any truth in that?
Yes, all good! i use them all
When is the camera test?
I have had it a day, give me time lol
do any of the higher \specs base non pro model come with wireless charging?
the pro has wireless charging
Does esim work , i love this phone but if esim doesn't work id rather get the magic v2
Then which UI takes the first place for you ?
Samsung oneUI
As its a Chinese ROM, how is the translation to English in the user interface? Is there any place its suddenly switch to Chinese or terrible English translation in the Android standard dialog or vivos OriginOS?
How many apps can be in the taskbar?
8
The real question here is: does it worth to pay extra 400 usd and take Pro model? Is it justified? I am thinking on this
I really dont understand why Origin OS is your #2 favorite android skin. Looks almost identical to Magic OS 7.2 except floating window on the Honor is much easier to use.
Fantastic intro.......what manga is that from plls???
Telegram, WhatsApp and facebook messenger are my main ways to connect with folks. Any issues you've encountered with delayed notifications on these apps?
No issues
@@AverageDadOfficial whew! Good to know!
I thought the Wired Fast Charging for the Vivo X Fold 3 is 100w ?... Am I wrong on that ? .
It is 80w
I Believe it's 100w Wired Fast Charging on this one.@@Etbesttube
Does the phone support wifi-calling?
No
I had Wi-Fi calling on my Vivo X Fold 1
Thanks for the info. Sometimes I need WiFi calling here in Germany in house.
Great looking phone, but no icon's on the aod, not been able to connect to smartwatch, I'd only buy a global release
fair... not coming globally tho
how about google, is vivo x fold 3 compatible?
?? did you actually watch? you can clearly see Google play store on the phone
Honestly you look like a professional chef
emmm.. thanks i think 🤔
@@AverageDadOfficialyou do get some odd comments on here sometimes 😂
The biggest difference about this Fold is a class leading battery, yet you have not said anything about the battery life. Maybe I missed it.
you are watching a software video... unlike other reviewers, i will wait a week or so before i talk battery life as i need to test for myself.
@@AverageDadOfficial you're right. It does take time to get an idea about the true battery life.
noob....help with converting my fold 3 to english...thanks
already made setup videos dude
Thank
Guys don't buy X fold 3 Chinese version. My X fold 3 restarts automatically 2 times every single day after one week of purchase 😢
so a couple of things here....
1 - this is only your experience and nobody else has reported this issue si very iresponsible to tell people, not to buy as issyes happen to all phones even if very rare!
2 - YOU DID NOT BUY THIS FROM ME!!
