Kia ora mate! I'm a Samsung fan, and I proudly owned Z fold 3, 4, and 5 the time it was released. I love foldables. Unfortunately, every time, my excitement grew a huge frustration due to its candy like folded design and poor battery life. Back then, there weren't many alternatives when it came down to foldables. But this time, I didn't make the same mistake again. I bought the mighty Vivo X fold 3 pro. Mate, i tell you it's a beast! When you hold X fold 3 pro as folded in your palm, it's a joy and feels like a proper phone with no sacrifice! Don't get me wrong, I use an S24 ultra as my primary phone and daily driver, which I love most. Unfortunately, Samsung foldables aren't growing much nowadays. Other brands are listening to their customers and went ahead of Samsung. If you're thinking of getting a foldable, Vivo X fold 3 pro could be your first choice!
I found your channel yesterday... and Man you are a phenomenal tech content creater. Very nice close shots by which we can see everything crisp and clear. Also honest opinions helping us a lot. Kudos to the generous, intellegent and honest tech youtuber. Love from India 💐💐
One of the best reviewers without being boring. Nothing rude and crude (like some...), sees through the hype and calls out shortcomings. TBH There's tonnes of reviewers out there but TT is imo the most unbiast, honest and trusted out there. I've found him to get excited without being a shill. This channel is often my deciding factor. Lastly always great scenery ;) and pics.
I used to love using the S-pen in my old Note 8, but Samsung dropped the ball by not making the S-pen dockable into the Fold 6's body. No way I am carrying the pen separately in my pocket. There goes what should have been a major advantage for the Samsung :(
I really thought it might be in the phone itself this time but no. They want us to buy the case to store the pen. It has to be like the S24 in the phone.
@@kylecrain8922nah, they couldn't even double the size battery let alone at least push to 5000mah like the s24U, the fact that its 600 less is insane for a big screen...
I have no problem with the narrow and shorter front screen of fold 6, Because it is very handy to use with one hand and easy for pocket space, it's perfect for checking normal things and instant replying and if you want big screen then just unfold it... I dont know why people are willing to make all folds phones simillar to bar phones.
You know you can have a bigger front screen on a thinner lighter phone. There's no point it being thin screen but the device is still thick. Honor magic v3 has my pick this time
I don't know why people are willing to accept that manufactures that are in the folding game for less time are making phones with much better battery, much thinner and better camera hardwarethan Samsung yet Samusng charge you more.
@@bustercolin7507 Y'all really can't accept that not everybody wants that big ass front screen. We need to have variety for everyone to have the options they want. No companies just making clones of each other's shit.
TBH the fold 6 looks more elegant IMO. I also love the fact it's a bit smaller. The Vivo looks like it'll take up too much space in a pocket. Also love the simpler look of the camera. But oh well, it's all a matter of taste. My only main complaint of the fold 6 is the battery and charge time. They really should have improved that...
i have the vivo,not as you think...very thin and very carryable....very very good in hand... the sistem is very nice too....and the charging and battery are just so nice
In the end, I need my foldable phone to be solid and reliable. Samsung delivers with a solid build, easy one hand use, mature software and guaranteed updates. Can't say the same for the competition.
Vivo has more battery, better thermals. And better camera. I don't see your point. And honor magic v3 has also a stylus by the way. So I don't see Samsung having anything other than the Dex that others don't, ok and the stabilization
@@stel1000 I'm sorry - apparently I wasn't clear when I said Samsung ticks the boxes for MY needs from a foldable phone. If you value another foldable, great for you.
I agree that's why i purchased the fold 6 as my first foldable, while it may be inferior on numbers, i trust Samsung's build quality, and longevity over vivo and oneplus.
FYI: The 4 used a capacitive reader and could be used for gestures like pulling down the notification shade. The 5 and 6 switched to ultrasonic and lost that ability.
Been a Samsung User since 2010 Had the S (1,2,4,8), had the Note (3,6,10,20) and took a chance during 2020 and got Fold 2 Been upgrading every year Even with all the cons, I don't think I'll ever switch back to a slab phone. Fold 3 had the best aspect ratio when opened. Up until now I had to carry another phone (S21U with a cracked screen) on my vacations just to be able to film 4k60fps with the ultrawide camera (and 10xzoom was great) When I have to use someone else's phone (S22/23/24 Ultra) it feels so weird and the screen feels to wide. No way for me to use it with one hand. That's why I love the Fold - the narrow screen for the one-handed use (I know there is a one-hand mode on the S as well) But when I unfold it, the screen Real estate is amazing - maps, shopping, reading news, yt and comments at the same time, etc. Don't care about the battery and charging speed since I never had an issue with it. The only thing Fold 6 should've done is be as tall as the Fold 3. Because I don't want 1:1 square when opened but a 4:3 rectangle. Thanks for reading, cheers
Comparing the dimensions online, Fold 6 has a 1mm wider chassis when closed compared to Fold 3. The wider cover hasn't affected the size that much thanks to thinner bezels, so there's that to look forward to when upgrading at some point.
Funny enough, it's why I stuck with the Fold line despite the drawbacks. I actually prefer the narrow display for daily use. The on handed usability has spoiled me to where I have a hard time using my partner's phone.
A lot of people don't seem to understand how the narrow screen of the Z Fold series, truly makes you feel like you have two different devices for two different situations. A narrow one-handed outer display for quick tasks and scrolling, and then the bigger inner display for content consumption and multi-tasking. The foldables with the wider outer displays like Pixel Fold and OnePlus Open, you're less likely to want to open them and use the inner display, because of the width of the outer display.
@@Super-c00n the wide folded phones or tall narrow are very uncomfortable in my pocket. I was tired of the S2x lineup because of that: I had to take them out to sit comfortably! Now with the iPhone 15 Pro Max I have zero issues. It's funny because there isn't an appreciable dimensions difference but yes in my pocket... I also appreciate the more square screens (iPhone, iPad, surface pro) instead the extra wide/tall aspect ratios.
You have to be smoking Crack with that take. Samsung loves customers like you. It's the main reason why they haven't been updating their foldables. They know you're going to support them regardless of their lack of innovation 🤷
I was interested in the Vivo but the lack of stylus pushed me back to Samsung. Also for stylus users - my stylus form the Fold 4 works perfectly with the Fold 6. I appreciate Samsung for that.
@@fatphoca5009you clearly haven't follow the Z Fold brand. There's an official Fold 5 case for it where you can snap on the stylus. The Fold 5 introduced a thinner streamline stylus that doesn't add bulk. It snaps on the front of the case and lays almost flat. There's going to be the same style case for the Fold 6
@@fatphoca5009what do you mean you can't? 😂 Of course you can. The new stylus is thinner and it snaps on a pocket slot of the case with almost zero bulk
If Vivo had Samsung's software on the x fold I would buy it in a heartbeat. Viso's hardware anc camera processing and samsung's software would be unbeatable
You wonderful bastard! I love seeing your videos on foldables ❤ I already purchased the Fold 6 and it wasn’t an easy choice but it felt like a safer experience than what I might get with Vivo software and support and accessories
Well you made the right choice by the sounds of it. The software is still the best on the Z Fold series compared to all the other foldables. It's the key area where Samsung holds their ground and hopefully continue to do so. But they must bring their hardware up to the rest as they are slipping.
@@Techtablets The software isn't even that far behind, like outside of screen customisation and AI there's little in the way Samsung leads. People would rather settle for less because it's "safer". They know that and so they give us an iterative update with a price increase. Insane..
just moved on to fold 6 from fold 4 and im literally in love. The design is so sleek and it just feels so lighter than older models. Make sure you get warranty when getting these phones
I was considering buying either Z Fold 6, OnePlus Open or the Vivo for my first foldable. This video helped make up my mind, so thanks. Careful... you're becoming one of my favorite tech reviewers. Just subscribed!
@@gwalt1985 china phone??? I'm more concerned about you and your family's personal information than the quality of the product. Be careful about safety.
It makes me angry that Samsung is trying to copying Apple. They give less with that premium price tag. They did same with their laptop... Hopefully in the future they will drop their pride and listen to the customers one day...
Maybe it's on camera it's not quite how I saw them in person and the Samsung dulls before the Vivo but both do this in the sun. The Vivo outer screen was clearly duller than the Z Fold 6.
I just bought you a "Thanks"... Thank you for your content. I have the Zfold5 and the 6 just came out and its basically no wider so i was thinking of switching to the One+ or Vivo and stumbled across your review/channel. Based on your review, i just ordered the Vivo-fold. One thing I'm concerned about is how hot it will get. I don't do any gaming and maybe multitask a bit... but im worried ot will still get hot with normal use. Anyways, thank you again and I'll check out your channel to Subscribe. 👍

Great job! I have a serious Love/Hate relationship with these type of videos. I love to see the competing foldable tech. It's an exciting space and I love watching the sector grow and improve. I HATE that I can't get most of these Z Fold competitors in the US! 😛 At least not in the 1TB size that I need, or at competitive cost (I got my Z Fold 6 for $838 dollars with my Fold 4 trade-in, and Government discounts).
Huawei is going to launch a triple-fold mobile phone this year Imagine that in a few years, the three-fold mobile phone can do the feel of the iPhone Get a larger screen, of course, the interaction of the mobile phone may be about to be caught up by VR Technology is a very happy thing 华为要在今年推出三折叠手机了 想象一下几年后三折手机可以做到iphone的手感 获得更大的屏幕,当然手机这种交互说不准快要被vr赶上了 科技是很幸福的事情
@@joshuaglodek2047 bro I've done research the vivo screen is more anti-glare and crease also almost un-noticeable in Vivo... And it also reflects minimum amount of light...which makes it easy to use in extreme sunlight condition.... So yeah man... According my little research I've found this screen better... .although no doubt Samsung is the biggest manufacturer of. Displays... But somehow vivo managed to do it (don't know whether the VIVO bought displays from samsung or manufactured their own)
Do you happen to know how hardware support is for the Vivo overseas? My only worry is if something goes wrong, I'm SOL as opposed to the Fold that I can take to the nearby Samsung store.
Interesting art you going to keep that X100 Ultra as you’ll miss those cameras. As good as the X fold 3 Pro cameras are they fall short of the X100 Ultra.
@@GeZ-DM of course it will . What benefits you as a consumer get when it will be sold more ? None . I also own a fold 5 just pretty pissed on Samsung .
I bought XFold3Pro at the beginning After I changed to the standard version, 8G2 is enough for me to use The camera is also enough, lighter and thinner The screen is the same as Pro, the weight is 210g Thickness 10mm, basically the same as iPhoneProMax feel, Honor new mobile phone is thinner 9mm, I am looking forward to it, sometimes a thinner feel will be much better 我一开始买了xfold3pro 之后我换成了标准版,8g2足够我使用了 相机也够用,更轻更薄 屏幕是和pro一样的,重量210g 厚度10mm,基本和iphonepromax差不多手感了,荣耀新手机更薄9mm,我很期待,有时候薄一点手感会好很多
Vivo X Fold 3 wins HANDS DOWN !!! Samsung fold series has become a complete JOKE!!!! Why can't Samsung simply put two Samsung S24 Ultra Displays together to give us a fold??? And then use a third S24 Ultra display for the cover screen and the same camera system from the S24 Ultra and the built in S Pen in a Fold factor????? Samsung literally has all the hardware and software to make it happen and they don't need to reinvent anything new.
That would be WAY too big and heavy. I love the fold form factor. I've upgraded every year since the launch model. Their software is still worlds better than any other foldable.
I think the X Fold is too big. I prefer the smaller profile of the Z6. Vivo's video looked too saturated when you switched to the Ultra Wide. The images results were better on the Vivo.
I currently have the vivo x fold 2 and Iam really happy with it. It's my first vivo phone but I think technically it's a really good foldable. Will skip a generation and get the vivo x fold 4 which should be more lightweight. That's the only thing I don't like with the vivo x fold 2 it's to heavy. I love the software of vivo. It's highly customizable and quick. Thanks for this comparison and your content in general. It was mainly because of your channel, that I've bought my vivo. Keep up the good work.
Hey me too, i am on Vivo X Fold+ but this battery health thing is annoying too me, although is below 80% now but daily use still can go 10 hours/ full charge.
Vivo hardware, cameras and battery are impressive. But the refinement we're (finally) getting on Samsung Fold 6 is why I ordered the 6. I prefer the slightly more compact design. It's truly easy for one hand use and looks even more balanced now. While cameras are good I'm still bummed by lack of truly great cameras. At this price point the Fold 6 should be rocking Samsung's best cameras. We'll see what the rumored Ultra model brings to the table.
If Samsung ever did that they would cannibalize their S24 ultra phone. Foldable phone aren't meant for photography more like productivity and entertainment
@@Tmr2001 LOL. Definitely wish battery was bigger. I had the Z Fold 3 and currently have Z Fold 4. Battery is not an issue for me. Generally lasts me all day unless I'm using heavily. When that happens I plug in towards end of day for 15-20 minutes and I'm back up to 80%.
@@ClaraFlater_than_surface_board I don't think so. Not everyone likes or wants a Fold. Some prefer a traditional candy bar style large format or smaller format screen. The biggest reason it will never cannibalize the S Ultra is price. I know many who just flat out will never spend $2k or more for a phone so they can both coexist as flagships with cameras to match their top of line status. If the Fold Ultra ever releases I think we will finally see that. And chances are the Fold Ultra will elevate the price even further. Yikes. And I will be first in line to buy it. LOL
7:40 the side mounted fingerprint scanner on the Fold 5/6 are actually ultrasonic now too, that's why they lost the swipe gesture for notification tray. My Z Fold 2 fingerprint scanner was terrible but my Z Fold 4 fingerprint scanner was pretty good. So I'm kinda worried about the Z Fold 6 fingerprint scanner

The software and AI of the Chinese version of vivo xfold3pro are very easy to use. I didn't expect the international version to be so different. The vivo office software makes it very convenient to interact with the phone and transfer files between PC and Mac. Especially the transfer of files, photos and videos with Mac and the mirroring display on Mac, these functions are almost the same as iOS18.
GREAT video Sir; I'm rocking my Honor Magic V2(can't wait to see the V3) and the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro and havent looked back. I don't use a stylus or Samsung Dex, so those things don't sway me. Looking forward to seeing the Google Pixel Fold 9 Pro & OnePlus Open 2 📱📱🤳🤳❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've been using Chinese phones almost all my life and had a chance to change my phone to a Samsung foldable phone. I'm going to say this is the best phone experience yet. No lagging, simple and fast, with a pretty unique looking style.
I did pre order Magic V3 after doing a bit of research. Z Fold6 is a bit disappointment on the price when you buy case, charger, pen, where Magic V3 comes with screen protector, case, and charger. Main focus is camera, battery, and a good software. Magic V3 has Chinese ROM, that means No Android auto and Wear OS watch connectivity. Fold6 is still a good bet. Any suggestions? I still have option to cancel pre order and buy Fold6 instead? What's your pick? I am well aware of that you haven't tried Honor Magic V3 yet.
Bro if slimness of fold doesn't matter much for you my advice is you should go for vivo x fold 3 pro...here you'll get excellent camera performance eith Zeiss collaboration ❤ And biggest battery...with biggest display ever.... And 2 ultrasonic fingerprint sensors.. furthermore its also not much bulky and thick like samsung ... And brightest display in a foldable.... Vivo has nailed it...
@@mantapdjiwa9768 I'm also planning to buy vivo x fold 3 pro....but brother can you plz tell me in which countries its globally launched ??? I only know china... India and Indonesia.... Isn't it launched in any European country or Uk ??
@@mantapdjiwa9768 X Fold3 Pro is better in a few things, in terms of design, I like Magic V3. These phone are quite expensive, still unsure If I have made a right choice. Also, Magic V3 comes with Chinese ROM, and not many camera review, so it is a risky bet for me.
Dont suppose you could do a follow-up video on the hinges of all your fold type phones so far. Would be nice to compare the hinges/screen after a year or 2 just to see who’s lasted better.
It wouldn't really prove anything anyway because you would have to have used each one of them as your daily driver for the past 2 years and that's obviously impossible
I have both vivoxfold3pro and zfold5. Here is my opinion 1. Battery = vivoxfold3pro 2. Charging = vivoxfold3pro 3. Camera auto = vivoxfold3pro 4. Camera pro (manual) = zfold5 5. Screen color and resolution = zfold5 (deeper blacks and sharper screen) 6. Audio = zfold5 (louder and clearer) 7. Automation/Gemini/AI = zfold5 8. Phone Customisation = both are good but zfold5 with goodlock is definitely better 9. App Optimisation = zfold5 (xfold3pro have too many black bar and apps are just stretch out.. not optimised for "tablet" 10. No quickshare/nearby share/no andriod auto/slight notification delay = xfold3pro I end up selling xfold3pro because of the software (ui) and lack of optimised app for playstore apps. I never regret it. But I do missed xfold3pro battery and charging. I don't the camera at all. If i would have a best device.. i want a vivox3pro hardware w zfold6 software.
Recently ungraded from a Fold 4 to a smaller Flip 6 and I'm honestly shocked at how good it is. The camera is just fantastic. It oversharpens a bit too much, but you can tone that down in the camera settings (thanks Samsung!). It's a flagship camera with a flagship Snapdragon SOC in a very small package. This Flip is the first time that a Flip actually feels like a proper flagship. I'm loving it. The Fold is massively disappointing but the Flip is actually impressive!
I never had issues until I hit record I decided to keep that in as it seemed it glitched out on me. My thumb must have been fine as the X Fold 3 Pro didn’t have issues. I put it down to some random glitch with the reader.
Thank you for watching. I only want to report the facts I don't care which really is better at what and it's also for myself to decide which foldable I will use. I've given up on using my iPhone 15 Pro Max I'm sick of it.
Neither Samsung and Honor can take Vivo on the Fold... None of them. Vivo has made a really good foldable. This X Fold 3 pro is a mind blowing 😍 cheaper, better, and faster charging... Everything is on it 🎉
@@thebestleoever true, but I have spent 10 years abroad traveling, and I've always bought a local sim card at the arrival airport before leaving it. I agree, there is no esim card, but travelers will always keep traveling even with the X Fold 3 Pro 😂😁
4:27 Unfolding your foldable phone and the flip phone should emit a low, unique sound and vibration. Not a sound that is too loud 🔊. And it shouldn't draw or attract too much public attention, but it's loud enough to symbolise luxury. I also believe that a mechanical switch is needed to lock the foldable in tablet mode, as also with the flip phone in phone mode. Such mechanical switch will retain that nostalgic feeling of having a traditional tablet because it can't close or fold back into the phone mode by any unnecessary means. Let's say that you want to show someone something in tablet mode, but you don't want them to close or unfold the tablet mode, the mechanical switch will prevent it from happening. The mechanical switch will be useful on the flip phones as well.
Z Fold 6 is an automatic win since I need the stylus. I do a lot of photo editing and other things using a stylus. Before anyone thinks the stylus can't be attached on the phone, yes it can... And without extra bulk since the new thinner streamline stylus was introduced during the launch of the Z Fold 5. I always use a case for my phone, and just like the Fold 5, there will be a case to snap the stylus on without the bulk. However, I'll still skip on the Fold 6 due to lack of a real significant upgrade
Vivo & SAMSUNG: UwU Chris: “….I can get too deep into this ….blimey, the blowers overexposed” Duplication Machine: “🌚…. _but how did you know_ ” Me: “ _*chucks_ ….I have a stylus problem.”
Thank you so much for your wonderful and informative content. Quick question, does Vivo X Fold 3 Pro packs any AI features? Like image erase, and etc. Anything worth mentioning please do. 👍
OriginOS Chinese version does have this and a gallery that has AI features the Funtouch OS is lacking most of it sadly. Software is miles better on the Z Fold 6.
@@rsupremexx3971that has been and always will be the case. Chinese are better with Hardware because numbers sell in the Chinese market whereas Samsung and Apple pay more attention on the Software front. Sadly, they stopped paying attention to Hardware because of their monopoly. The Huawei ban was a major loss for consumers!
Makes sense I was disappointed to see they didn’t give us better camera hardware as indoors the Fold 6 isn’t good a very noisy sensor which in night shot mode can even show specks.
As a Samsung fan, the Fold 6 is a huge disappointment. I like the new angular design, but compared to the Vivo, it’s thicker, has a smaller battery, no in-screen fingerprint sensor, lower benchmark scores, and slower charging.
You have a biased view. Your intention is to make Samsung look bad, you're not actually defending it. It is clear that Vivo requires a significant amount of time to reach One OS. Despite that, I am eager for them to compete.
Everybody wants "X brand's" features on a Samsung. They'll rave about how X brand is better. But ultimately, they'll still buy Samsung. Build quality is just different, and having a knock off version of android / play store is just whack. Been fooled once on buying a "superior" version of brand X... and sure, it's really superior, for like, maybe 1 year, but then after, it's probably broken / slow. Learned my lesson, and will *ALWAYS* spend more for a negligibly inferior device, if it meant that I could still use it 8+ years after I bought it.
One thing that I can not resist is One UI. I just fall in love with Samsung's UI. I've been Using, Nokia, Xiaomi, Asus, etc. And still I thing One UI is the best. My second choice would be iOS. Not other Android OS with different UI.
Vivo too massive imo. Fold 6 is my preference, size is just right for me. Though i also wish for more battery capacity on the fold. Maybe a tad thinner? And updated cameras in general although i could care less. But yeah size wise it is perfect.
Awesome video, only sad thing about the X Fold 3 is that is sometimes has quite the heavy battery optimization settings on standard. So alot of apps dont send you notifications unless you change it in the settings. Also you mentioned you could force 120 hz on the fold 3? I think this has been buggy for me since sometimes (like scrolling youtube) it goes to 60hz even though ive set it to 120 :(, unless im doing that one wrong.
You can force it but some apps still do 60hz yes. And as for the battery optimisation you need to make sure it's exempt of that disable it for key apps and you're fine.
21:30 Mihoyo's (the developer of Genshin) new game Zenless Zone Zero is generally agreed to be even more demanding than Genshin, but its bottleneck is on single-core CPU instead of GPU
The X Fold 3 is far superior. More intersting will be the comparison between X Fold 3 and Honor Magic V3. Looking forward to that. Thank you very much for your work.
Unbelievable samsung trounced out by a Chinese phone. I never went back after fold 4. Had all it's golds before that. Now on the Honor magic v2. Vivo in my sights))
Don't forget to mention about samsung watch. I use the watch 3 every day to track my health and it's been great. Similar to iPhone Samsung has a ecosystem that's is getting better as time goes on. Still not as good as Apple but to me that's not a negative as I'd much rather android any day regardless. I would love for Samsung bootloader to all be unlocked tho. Maybe make it a little easier to repair. But all in all id love samsung to make a log of changes to the phone but I'll just hold off for another couple gens. Currently in on the fold 5 coming from the fold 3 and before that the note. Have loved the bigger screens. Got the first note and eventually the note edge when it was released.
Software, software & security updates, trade-in and local resell value, local support, brand presence in terms of stores and repair shops, etc. Is what keeps me with the fold. Sure trade in value of any foldable is terrible. But good luck finding a place that will trade in a chinese phone. Also, you may find more places that take samsung trade ins and provide trade in boosts. Regular software updates can't be overlooked. I remember when samsung was bad with that and everyone complained about it. Now that they are among the best, no one seems to care about updates. Local support when your phone gets damaged is also important. I am not saying Samsung support is the best, but at least you will get there eventually. I hesitate to believe the Chinese phones will do better in this regard. You may pay less for a chinese phone, but i often get samsung insurance packaged for one year free. Granted, i have not owned a chinese phone. But i get the idea that to get the best value from it, you will have to keep it 2 to 3 years because you will likely struggle to sell it for an acceptable price, you then require regular security and software updates. I agree that the hardware seems far superior. But, personally, i need the other elements as well.
All the hardware specs in the world will not beat a poor user experience. The Samsung wins on more refined software which is completely customizable with GoodLock and countless themes. Haptics are better as well and boy, the video quality of the Samsung compared to the Vivo: Samsung hits it out of the park.
I had to go with the only one available in the US. I got the Z Fold 6 Crafted Black for 760.00 before taxes with the trade in value from a Fold 4 (which is not an option either other companies). Samsung for me by default as I live in the US with Verizon
For me it was a no brainer. I get $1200 trade in for my Fold 5 and with the addiitional $100 pre registration discount, the Fold 6 is $599 pre tax. If I didn't get these discounts I would go with Vivo.
@aznmode1 I can get a Vivo for the same price here. But the fact that Samsung has pretty bad after-sales service makes me think twice. My S22 suddenly got a pink line too without me dropping it.
@@ericcoksen4857lol if you think Samsung has bad after sale value or service wait till you get a chinese one 😅, if you want a phone to hold value or the best service just get an iphone...
Shame about the Vivo's not-so-stellar video and poor selfie cam. The video stabilization is just not flagship-grade. The photos are better than the Samsung's though. Tough choice between the two. I'm leaning towards getting the Vivo for its larger display and still photography. I just wish it were available here.
Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is the BEST OF THE BEST💯❤️🔥💯!!

Samsungs design and software, you ain't gonna get no coochie with the vivio x 3 fold pro
Kia ora mate! I'm a Samsung fan, and I proudly owned Z fold 3, 4, and 5 the time it was released. I love foldables. Unfortunately, every time, my excitement grew a huge frustration due to its candy like folded design and poor battery life. Back then, there weren't many alternatives when it came down to foldables. But this time, I didn't make the same mistake again. I bought the mighty Vivo X fold 3 pro. Mate, i tell you it's a beast! When you hold X fold 3 pro as folded in your palm, it's a joy and feels like a proper phone with no sacrifice! Don't get me wrong, I use an S24 ultra as my primary phone and daily driver, which I love most. Unfortunately, Samsung foldables aren't growing much nowadays. Other brands are listening to their customers and went ahead of Samsung. If you're thinking of getting a foldable, Vivo X fold 3 pro could be your first choice!
Hey @deuband, are you based in NZ by chance? If so, how did you buy it? (Like did you import it yourself, or do you have a site to do that?) Cheers.

One of the best reviewers without being boring. Nothing rude and crude (like some...), sees through the hype and calls out shortcomings. TBH There's tonnes of reviewers out there but TT is imo the most unbiast, honest and trusted out there. I've found him to get excited without being a shill. This channel is often my deciding factor. Lastly always great scenery ;) and pics.
I used to love using the S-pen in my old Note 8, but Samsung dropped the ball by not making the S-pen dockable into the Fold 6's body. No way I am carrying the pen separately in my pocket. There goes what should have been a major advantage for the Samsung :(
I really thought it might be in the phone itself this time but no. They want us to buy the case to store the pen. It has to be like the S24 in the phone.
It's because of cost. If they gave us everything we wanted it would be closer to 2500. Not defending them by any means but that's the excuse
You got cases for it
@@romans11six I saw them: bulky and fugly.
@@kylecrain8922nah, they couldn't even double the size battery let alone at least push to 5000mah like the s24U, the fact that its 600 less is insane for a big screen...
I have no problem with the narrow and shorter front screen of fold 6, Because it is very handy to use with one hand and easy for pocket space, it's perfect for checking normal things and instant replying and if you want big screen then just unfold it... I dont know why people are willing to make all folds phones simillar to bar phones.
Once you get sue to it I had no issues it's just the first few days.
You know you can have a bigger front screen on a thinner lighter phone. There's no point it being thin screen but the device is still thick. Honor magic v3 has my pick this time
I don't know why people are willing to accept that manufactures that are in the folding game for less time are making phones with much better battery, much thinner and better camera hardwarethan Samsung yet Samusng charge you more.
Having it wider like your normal phone is, is a great thing. You've got the best of both.
@@bustercolin7507 Y'all really can't accept that not everybody wants that big ass front screen. We need to have variety for everyone to have the options they want. No companies just making clones of each other's shit.
TBH the fold 6 looks more elegant IMO. I also love the fact it's a bit smaller. The Vivo looks like it'll take up too much space in a pocket. Also love the simpler look of the camera. But oh well, it's all a matter of taste.
My only main complaint of the fold 6 is the battery and charge time. They really should have improved that...
In the age of phone charging to full in half hour, samsung still gives us 1 hour+ charging and for more price to boot 😅
My 6.7 inch Pixel 7 Pro fit in my pocket just fine before I got the Z Fold 5. I presume the Vivo phone wouldn't have trouble either
More elegant? Agree
But I don't think fold users are people who care about how much the phone takes space in the pocket.
i have the vivo,not as you think...very thin and very carryable....very very good in hand... the sistem is very nice too....and the charging and battery are just so nice
In the end, I need my foldable phone to be solid and reliable. Samsung delivers with a solid build, easy one hand use, mature software and guaranteed updates. Can't say the same for the competition.
Vivo has more battery, better thermals. And better camera. I don't see your point. And honor magic v3 has also a stylus by the way. So I don't see Samsung having anything other than the Dex that others don't, ok and the stabilization
Samsung shit fold 6
@@stel1000 I'm sorry - apparently I wasn't clear when I said Samsung ticks the boxes for MY needs from a foldable phone. If you value another foldable, great for you.
I agree that's why i purchased the fold 6 as my first foldable, while it may be inferior on numbers, i trust Samsung's build quality, and longevity over vivo and oneplus.
@@MrSilentknight2012 so what special does Samsung have ? Dex? Or what? The camera sucks too. It's oversharpened and too purple .
I didn't know which one was samsung or vivo. but obviously, left one looks more expensive and better build quality
I used to have the Fold 4. The fingerprint reader was very very good. I actually liked having it on the button. Funny it didn't work here.
it was strange but I think a glitch as a few seconds later it worked.
FYI: The 4 used a capacitive reader and could be used for gestures like pulling down the notification shade. The 5 and 6 switched to ultrasonic and lost that ability.
@@nickthaskater damn that's a bummer, I loved those gesture features
I've been having issues with the reader on the z6. But the z3 never had one
@@Tavohl Wow interesting
Been a Samsung User since 2010
Had the S (1,2,4,8), had the Note (3,6,10,20) and took a chance during 2020 and got Fold 2
Been upgrading every year
Even with all the cons, I don't think I'll ever switch back to a slab phone.
Fold 3 had the best aspect ratio when opened.
Up until now I had to carry another phone (S21U with a cracked screen) on my vacations just to be able to film 4k60fps with the ultrawide camera (and 10xzoom was great)
When I have to use someone else's phone (S22/23/24 Ultra) it feels so weird and the screen feels to wide. No way for me to use it with one hand.
That's why I love the Fold - the narrow screen for the one-handed use
(I know there is a one-hand mode on the S as well)
But when I unfold it, the screen Real estate is amazing - maps, shopping, reading news, yt and comments at the same time, etc.
Don't care about the battery and charging speed since I never had an issue with it.
The only thing Fold 6 should've done is be as tall as the Fold 3.
Because I don't want 1:1 square when opened but a 4:3 rectangle.
Thanks for reading, cheers
Comparing the dimensions online, Fold 6 has a 1mm wider chassis when closed compared to Fold 3. The wider cover hasn't affected the size that much thanks to thinner bezels, so there's that to look forward to when upgrading at some point.
Funny enough, it's why I stuck with the Fold line despite the drawbacks. I actually prefer the narrow display for daily use. The on handed usability has spoiled me to where I have a hard time using my partner's phone.
A lot of people don't seem to understand how the narrow screen of the Z Fold series, truly makes you feel like you have two different devices for two different situations. A narrow one-handed outer display for quick tasks and scrolling, and then the bigger inner display for content consumption and multi-tasking.
The foldables with the wider outer displays like Pixel Fold and OnePlus Open, you're less likely to want to open them and use the inner display, because of the width of the outer display.
@@Super-c00n the wide folded phones or tall narrow are very uncomfortable in my pocket. I was tired of the S2x lineup because of that: I had to take them out to sit comfortably! Now with the iPhone 15 Pro Max I have zero issues. It's funny because there isn't an appreciable dimensions difference but yes in my pocket... I also appreciate the more square screens (iPhone, iPad, surface pro) instead the extra wide/tall aspect ratios.
You have to be smoking Crack with that take. Samsung loves customers like you. It's the main reason why they haven't been updating their foldables. They know you're going to support them regardless of their lack of innovation 🤷
I was interested in the Vivo but the lack of stylus pushed me back to Samsung. Also for stylus users - my stylus form the Fold 4 works perfectly with the Fold 6. I appreciate Samsung for that.
But you can't carry the stylus in the Samsung which makes this ability less useful to me.
@@fatphoca5009So buy the vivo x pro 3 then
@@fatphoca5009you clearly haven't follow the Z Fold brand. There's an official Fold 5 case for it where you can snap on the stylus. The Fold 5 introduced a thinner streamline stylus that doesn't add bulk. It snaps on the front of the case and lays almost flat. There's going to be the same style case for the Fold 6
@@fatphoca5009what do you mean you can't? 😂 Of course you can. The new stylus is thinner and it snaps on a pocket slot of the case with almost zero bulk
What happened to your fingers
If Vivo had Samsung's software on the x fold I would buy it in a heartbeat. Viso's hardware anc camera processing and samsung's software would be unbeatable
Can't disagree with that! Vivo hardware and Samsung software would be amazing.
You wonderful bastard! I love seeing your videos on foldables ❤
I already purchased the Fold 6 and it wasn’t an easy choice but it felt like a safer experience than what I might get with Vivo software and support and accessories
Well you made the right choice by the sounds of it. The software is still the best on the Z Fold series compared to all the other foldables. It's the key area where Samsung holds their ground and hopefully continue to do so. But they must bring their hardware up to the rest as they are slipping.
@@Techtablets The software isn't even that far behind, like outside of screen customisation and AI there's little in the way Samsung leads. People would rather settle for less because it's "safer". They know that and so they give us an iterative update with a price increase. Insane..

I don't agree that Vivo has better screens especially in the sun at 10:49 and 11:21, and Vivo's white just turns into gray
Maybe it's on camera it's not quite how I saw them in person and the Samsung dulls before the Vivo but both do this in the sun. The Vivo outer screen was clearly duller than the Z Fold 6.

Great job! I have a serious Love/Hate relationship with these type of videos. I love to see the competing foldable tech. It's an exciting space and I love watching the sector grow and improve. I HATE that I can't get most of these Z Fold competitors in the US! 😛 At least not in the 1TB size that I need, or at competitive cost (I got my Z Fold 6 for $838 dollars with my Fold 4 trade-in, and Government discounts).
Ah yes that is hard that you can't get most of them in the US. But you have the OnePlus Open right? That is one of my favorites.

I wanna know too. Must be a different type of oled
@@joshuaglodek2047 bro I've done research the vivo screen is more anti-glare and crease also almost un-noticeable in Vivo...

But somehow vivo managed to do it (don't know whether the VIVO bought displays from samsung or manufactured their own)
Noticed that too.... samsung always have the best black screen out there... the vivo film probably what made it look blue/purple dark screen.

@@ParissaKhoury they can, but knowing Samsung it will cost you two S24 ultra price 😂😂😂😂
Wait for next gen
Vivo X Flod 3 is equipped with an LTPO internal display developed by Samsung.
That would be WAY too big and heavy. I love the fold form factor. I've upgraded every year since the launch model. Their software is still worlds better than any other foldable.
I think the X Fold is too big. I prefer the smaller profile of the Z6. Vivo's video looked too saturated when you switched to the Ultra Wide. The images results were better on the Vivo.
I currently have the vivo x fold 2 and Iam really happy with it. It's my first vivo phone but I think technically it's a really good foldable. Will skip a generation and get the vivo x fold 4 which should be more lightweight. That's the only thing I don't like with the vivo x fold 2 it's to heavy. I love the software of vivo. It's highly customizable and quick. Thanks for this comparison and your content in general. It was mainly because of your channel, that I've bought my vivo. Keep up the good work.
Hey me too, i am on Vivo X Fold+ but this battery health thing is annoying too me, although is below 80% now but daily use still can go 10 hours/ full charge.
Vivo, Huawei, Honor, and One Plus are unbelievable on hardware , I do love one ui and my Samsung ecosystem so much but indeed Samsung has work to do
Vivo hardware, cameras and battery are impressive. But the refinement we're (finally) getting on Samsung Fold 6 is why I ordered the 6. I prefer the slightly more compact design. It's truly easy for one hand use and looks even more balanced now. While cameras are good I'm still bummed by lack of truly great cameras. At this price point the Fold 6 should be rocking Samsung's best cameras. We'll see what the rumored Ultra model brings to the table.
Goodlucm having 5 secs of battery life, 4400mah is just unacceptable lol.
If Samsung ever did that they would cannibalize their S24 ultra phone. Foldable phone aren't meant for photography more like productivity and entertainment

@@Tmr2001 LOL. Definitely wish battery was bigger. I had the Z Fold 3 and currently have Z Fold 4. Battery is not an issue for me. Generally lasts me all day unless I'm using heavily. When that happens I plug in towards end of day for 15-20 minutes and I'm back up to 80%.
@@ClaraFlater_than_surface_board I don't think so. Not everyone likes or wants a Fold. Some prefer a traditional candy bar style large format or smaller format screen. The biggest reason it will never cannibalize the S Ultra is price. I know many who just flat out will never spend $2k or more for a phone so they can both coexist as flagships with cameras to match their top of line status. If the Fold Ultra ever releases I think we will finally see that. And chances are the Fold Ultra will elevate the price even further. Yikes. And I will be first in line to buy it. LOL
7:40 the side mounted fingerprint scanner on the Fold 5/6 are actually ultrasonic now too, that's why they lost the swipe gesture for notification tray. My Z Fold 2 fingerprint scanner was terrible but my Z Fold 4 fingerprint scanner was pretty good. So I'm kinda worried about the Z Fold 6 fingerprint scanner
don't worry the fold 5 is good. So guess the fold 6 is good too.

Samsung is just another Apple 2.0 now. All empty talks.
great review! waiting for xiaomi and honor
Dude, I LOVE your videos..
I appreciate that!
I did pre order Magic V3 after doing a bit of research. Z Fold6 is a bit disappointment on the price when you buy case, charger, pen, where Magic V3 comes with screen protector, case, and charger. Main focus is camera, battery, and a good software. Magic V3 has Chinese ROM, that means No Android auto and Wear OS watch connectivity.
Fold6 is still a good bet.
Any suggestions? I still have option to cancel pre order and buy Fold6 instead? What's your pick?
I am well aware of that you haven't tried Honor Magic V3 yet.

And 2 ultrasonic fingerprint sensors.. furthermore its also not much bulky and thick like samsung ...

Dont suppose you could do a follow-up video on the hinges of all your fold type phones so far. Would be nice to compare the hinges/screen after a year or 2 just to see who’s lasted better.
Maybe not sure it will get good views and be worth it?
It wouldn't really prove anything anyway because you would have to have used each one of them as your daily driver for the past 2 years and that's obviously impossible
I don't have a vivo, but my Fold3 has been holding up very well ever since I bought it at release.
I have both vivoxfold3pro and zfold5. Here is my opinion
1. Battery = vivoxfold3pro
2. Charging = vivoxfold3pro
3. Camera auto = vivoxfold3pro
4. Camera pro (manual) = zfold5
5. Screen color and resolution = zfold5 (deeper blacks and sharper screen)
6. Audio = zfold5 (louder and clearer)
7. Automation/Gemini/AI = zfold5
8. Phone Customisation = both are good but zfold5 with goodlock is definitely better
9. App Optimisation = zfold5 (xfold3pro have too many black bar and apps are just stretch out.. not optimised for "tablet"
10. No quickshare/nearby share/no andriod auto/slight notification delay = xfold3pro
I end up selling xfold3pro because of the software (ui) and lack of optimised app for playstore apps. I never regret it. But I do missed xfold3pro battery and charging. I don't the camera at all. If i would have a best device.. i want a vivox3pro hardware w zfold6 software.
Recently ungraded from a Fold 4 to a smaller Flip 6 and I'm honestly shocked at how good it is. The camera is just fantastic. It oversharpens a bit too much, but you can tone that down in the camera settings (thanks Samsung!).
It's a flagship camera with a flagship Snapdragon SOC in a very small package. This Flip is the first time that a Flip actually feels like a proper flagship.
I'm loving it. The Fold is massively disappointing but the Flip is actually impressive!
7:45 Damn that was bad 😅 Is it really that bad? I just can't believe that it only worked once out of like 20 attempts. That's shocking
I have z fold 3 samsung never had issues
I never had issues until I hit record I decided to keep that in as it seemed it glitched out on me. My thumb must have been fine as the X Fold 3 Pro didn’t have issues. I put it down to some random glitch with the reader.

4:27 Unfolding your foldable phone and the flip phone should emit a low, unique sound and vibration. Not a sound that is too loud 🔊. And it shouldn't draw or attract too much public attention, but it's loud enough to symbolise luxury. I also believe that a mechanical switch is needed to lock the foldable in tablet mode, as also with the flip phone in phone mode. Such mechanical switch will retain that nostalgic feeling of having a traditional tablet because it can't close or fold back into the phone mode by any unnecessary means. Let's say that you want to show someone something in tablet mode, but you don't want them to close or unfold the tablet mode, the mechanical switch will prevent it from happening. The mechanical switch will be useful on the flip phones as well.
Hinge on Samsung is still superior to all competitors currently. Thst said, software is still king on Samsung 🎉
Z Fold 6 is an automatic win since I need the stylus. I do a lot of photo editing and other things using a stylus. Before anyone thinks the stylus can't be attached on the phone, yes it can... And without extra bulk since the new thinner streamline stylus was introduced during the launch of the Z Fold 5. I always use a case for my phone, and just like the Fold 5, there will be a case to snap the stylus on without the bulk. However, I'll still skip on the Fold 6 due to lack of a real significant upgrade
Vivo & SAMSUNG: UwU
Chris: “….I can get too deep into this ….blimey, the blowers overexposed”
Duplication Machine: “🌚…. _but how did you know_ ”
Me: “ _*chucks_ ….I have a stylus problem.”
Will you be comparing against OnePlus Open? Thanks!
Hmm maybe 🤔 But the Magic V3 later in the year when the global version is out.
I'm not regretting my switch from the fold 4 to the OnePlus open, glad I didn't wait for the fold 6.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and informative content. Quick question, does Vivo X Fold 3 Pro packs any AI features? Like image erase, and etc. Anything worth mentioning please do. 👍
OriginOS Chinese version does have this and a gallery that has AI features the Funtouch OS is lacking most of it sadly. Software is miles better on the Z Fold 6.
Vivo is going all out this year with the x100 ultra and this foldable. I love it when companies do that
Can’t go all out if the video quality and software is better on Samsung
@@rsupremexx3971 that's a bug ONLY present in the FuntouchOS that will 100% be fixed. OriginOS OIS works flawlessly.
@@rsupremexx3971that has been and always will be the case. Chinese are better with Hardware because numbers sell in the Chinese market whereas Samsung and Apple pay more attention on the Software front. Sadly, they stopped paying attention to Hardware because of their monopoly. The Huawei ban was a major loss for consumers!
why does the inner screen on the X kinda blueish when compared to the Z? kinda make the black not as deep as the Samsung
I am currently using a Fold 4 and I am very pleased with it. However, I do wish it had better cameras. That is why I am keeping my S23U.
Makes sense I was disappointed to see they didn’t give us better camera hardware as indoors the Fold 6 isn’t good a very noisy sensor which in night shot mode can even show specks.
As a Samsung fan, the Fold 6 is a huge disappointment. I like the new angular design, but compared to the Vivo, it’s thicker, has a smaller battery, no in-screen fingerprint sensor, lower benchmark scores, and slower charging.
I picked up the Z Fold 6 today and the finger print reader is excellent for me so far.
Yes normally it's great it's just when I hit record it okayed Up for me!!
vivo is great. But I'm a simple guy, so I prefer Samsung
Simple guy who pays more for less 😂
You have a biased view. Your intention is to make Samsung look bad, you're not actually defending it. It is clear that Vivo requires a significant amount of time to reach One OS. Despite that, I am eager for them to compete.
Everybody wants "X brand's" features on a Samsung. They'll rave about how X brand is better.
But ultimately, they'll still buy Samsung.
Build quality is just different, and having a knock off version of android / play store is just whack.
Been fooled once on buying a "superior" version of brand X... and sure, it's really superior, for like, maybe 1 year, but then after, it's probably broken / slow.
Learned my lesson, and will *ALWAYS* spend more for a negligibly inferior device, if it meant that I could still use it 8+ years after I bought it.
Software and support is the key big difference!
And can you change the front screen to have 5 columns in Vivo? Oneplus fold aka Oppo n3 fold limits to 4 which is super annoying.
Been using my z fold 6 for a week now but vivo looks to be the better phone!
Fold6 look far better tho :))))
No 😂
Disagree
Only kids do selections, I want both 😂
nothing can take me away from Samsung
One thing that I can not resist is One UI. I just fall in love with Samsung's UI. I've been Using, Nokia, Xiaomi, Asus, etc. And still I thing One UI is the best. My second choice would be iOS. Not other Android OS with different UI.
Yes agreed OneUI is king still. Very good and I hope they keep it that way. Second for me is OxygenOS/ColorOS.
Now thats what i call an unbiased review. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Vivo too massive imo. Fold 6 is my preference, size is just right for me. Though i also wish for more battery capacity on the fold. Maybe a tad thinner? And updated cameras in general although i could care less. But yeah size wise it is perfect.
Same opinion 👍
It is big but you get use to it like the original Note from Samsung.
Awesome video, only sad thing about the X Fold 3 is that is sometimes has quite the heavy battery optimization settings on standard. So alot of apps dont send you notifications unless you change it in the settings. Also you mentioned you could force 120 hz on the fold 3? I think this has been buggy for me since sometimes (like scrolling youtube) it goes to 60hz even though ive set it to 120 :(, unless im doing that one wrong.
You can force it but some apps still do 60hz yes. And as for the battery optimisation you need to make sure it's exempt of that disable it for key apps and you're fine.
@@Techtablets thank you, I'll do just that!
21:30 Mihoyo's (the developer of Genshin) new game Zenless Zone Zero is generally agreed to be even more demanding than Genshin, but its bottleneck is on single-core CPU instead of GPU
Great got it I will install and give it a go the reviews put me off so I decided to wait it out then forgot. So thanks for reminding me!
The X Fold 3 is far superior. More intersting will be the comparison between X Fold 3 and Honor Magic V3. Looking forward to that. Thank you very much for your work.
X Fold 3 and Honor Magic V3 I will try and do this but no doubt wait for the global version as this is what people will buy not the Chinese model.
Imagine OriginOs is globally released, every OriginOs user know there is some difference between Originos and Funtouchos
Unbelievable samsung trounced out by a Chinese phone. I never went back after fold 4. Had all it's golds before that. Now on the Honor magic v2. Vivo in my sights))
8:00 I like it when bro didn't even cut out the clip where the side mounted fingerprint sensor wasn't functioning 😂😂😂😂😂 some real content here
If the Vivo did it I would have also left that in. Seems it glitched out quite random but then a minute later worked fine!
Don't forget to mention about samsung watch. I use the watch 3 every day to track my health and it's been great. Similar to iPhone Samsung has a ecosystem that's is getting better as time goes on. Still not as good as Apple but to me that's not a negative as I'd much rather android any day regardless. I would love for Samsung bootloader to all be unlocked tho. Maybe make it a little easier to repair. But all in all id love samsung to make a log of changes to the phone but I'll just hold off for another couple gens. Currently in on the fold 5 coming from the fold 3 and before that the note. Have loved the bigger screens. Got the first note and eventually the note edge when it was released.
Software, software & security updates, trade-in and local resell value, local support, brand presence in terms of stores and repair shops, etc. Is what keeps me with the fold.
Sure trade in value of any foldable is terrible. But good luck finding a place that will trade in a chinese phone. Also, you may find more places that take samsung trade ins and provide trade in boosts.
Regular software updates can't be overlooked. I remember when samsung was bad with that and everyone complained about it. Now that they are among the best, no one seems to care about updates.
Local support when your phone gets damaged is also important. I am not saying Samsung support is the best, but at least you will get there eventually. I hesitate to believe the Chinese phones will do better in this regard. You may pay less for a chinese phone, but i often get samsung insurance packaged for one year free.
Granted, i have not owned a chinese phone. But i get the idea that to get the best value from it, you will have to keep it 2 to 3 years because you will likely struggle to sell it for an acceptable price, you then require regular security and software updates.
I agree that the hardware seems far superior. But, personally, i need the other elements as well.
All the hardware specs in the world will not beat a poor user experience. The Samsung wins on more refined software which is completely customizable with GoodLock and countless themes. Haptics are better as well and boy, the video quality of the Samsung compared to the Vivo: Samsung hits it out of the park.
Anyone know where you even buy the vivo fold?
I had to go with the only one available in the US. I got the Z Fold 6 Crafted Black for 760.00 before taxes with the trade in value from a Fold 4 (which is not an option either other companies). Samsung for me by default as I live in the US with Verizon
After watching this, now I’m more confused about which one to purchase. 😂
Oh well it should be a bit more clear. Best software, stylus support, video and haptics get a Z Fold 6. For everything else the X Fold 3 Pro.
For me it was a no brainer. I get $1200 trade in for my Fold 5 and with the addiitional $100 pre registration discount, the Fold 6 is $599 pre tax. If I didn't get these discounts I would go with Vivo.
@@Techtabletssoftware is far more important than the hardware with these.
@aznmode1 I can get a Vivo for the same price here. But the fact that Samsung has pretty bad after-sales service makes me think twice. My S22 suddenly got a pink line too without me dropping it.
@@ericcoksen4857lol if you think Samsung has bad after sale value or service wait till you get a chinese one 😅, if you want a phone to hold value or the best service just get an iphone...
Shame about the Vivo's not-so-stellar video and poor selfie cam. The video stabilization is just not flagship-grade. The photos are better than the Samsung's though.
Tough choice between the two. I'm leaning towards getting the Vivo for its larger display and still photography. I just wish it were available here.
Will you take a look at the new Honor Magic V3 and or the Vs3?
