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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 😊
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
@@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.

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.

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.
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..
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
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
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.
Can the phone run two games at one time? I'm using fold5 and can play two games and with RUclips on one screen. Hope to change to snapdragon Gen3 chip and can run 3 apps (games and youtube) at one time
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.
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.
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
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.
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? 🤔

Thinking of a short weekend trip from Singapore to go get one 😊
How much is it in dollars?
Can the phone run two games at one time? I'm using fold5 and can play two games and with RUclips on one screen. Hope to change to snapdragon Gen3 chip and can run 3 apps (games and youtube) at one time
You can still do that
@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!
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.
Im in the same position, also live in Sweden so I looking for a new foldables to test from owning the Z Fold 4
Where to buy this global version in the UK?
Average dad store UK, costs £1750
This one looks great. Thanks for it!
Can you flip between front and rear cameras whilst recording video, without stopping the recording?
Looks like you can’t no.
You can when folded as far as I know.
Edit: Gakaxy Folds can do this, idk about Vivo
Can you confirm for sure? @@ezBeanie
@@ezBeanie this is what I need, is that definitely possible?
@@Techtablets can you do it when folded as said by the comment below?
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.
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.
vivo has always made the best foldables in terms of specifications and features.
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
Can you share link to buy this Global version
The black on the internal screen look very blueish, no?
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
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
chris do you like the x fold 3 pro or the oppo find n3 more?
I prefer the X Fold 3 Pro more better cameras and screens. The Open/Find N3 is however still very good.
@@Techtablets thanks a lot.
Can't seem to get the global variant
Does this have desktop mode similar to Samsung DEX?
nope
Can split screen swop vertical viewing to horizontal viewing?
Yes it can
Does anyone know what you'd do if you damaged these phones and how you'd insure them/get them fixed
Just walk into your closest chinese store and have a quick convo lol
Snow is so cute. Grumpy cat in the making😂
😂 He is and does look a bit like the grump cat but without the sad mouth!
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 😍
Such a good phone the K30 Pro Zoom edition. In my collection for being ahead of its time. Such good haptics.
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.
Yes that was when we had some innovation
where to buy the global version?
Thank you so much for the review. The charger is 120 W but the phone actually charges on 100 W only. 👍🏼
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 !!
Why are you saying that it's Not for people that want a stylus? the phone is Compatible with the stylus
