Samsungs design and software, you ain't gonna get no coochie with the vivio x 3 fold pro

[@Deuband]

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!

[@MattyRRG]

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.

[@360History]

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 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 :(

[@Techtablets]

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.

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

[@adeetard2545]

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.

[@an0n2326]

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.

[@Super-c00n]

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.

[@ricarmig]

​@@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.

[@AchillesNYC]

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 🤷

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..

[@Techtablets]

I didn't factor in trade ins but yes if you can get that type of deal do for it. And yes in my list 7 years software updates should be in there I forgot it.

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. 👍

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.

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.

[@Felix21411]

For me the Honor Magic V2 beats them all. Bigger battery than Samsung at least, bigger inner screen, stylus support for both screens, thinnest in the game, great desktop mode and the list can go on.The only reason I didn't buy it is because (unlike the normal Magic 4,5,6 pro) it doesn't have the 3d face unlock and it looks like the V3 won't have it either. I would love your opinion about the 3 of them.

Great info as always! The part about thermal is especially helpful! One suggestion - don't compare the speakers at max level, they all sound like they're about to die, not representable for a real world usage.

Okay noted and a few years back I tested 80% volume and everyone was complaining it wasn't fair and around 4 years ago the twitter vote just won at max volume. So I stuck with what the people wanted. I agree with you however!

@@Techtablets That's understandable, maybe you can extend that part giving both options or even opinion on that. I'd choose a track and turn up the volume to the max undistorted volume for each.

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.

[@Techtablets]

Yes agreed OneUI is king still. Very good and I hope they keep it that way. Second for me is OxygenOS/ColorOS.

[@aliettienne2907]

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.

[@BlackParade01]

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!

[@halgrynshaun]

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.

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.

Excellent video very informative

[@Happycat123-y7b]

Are we watching the same video? Vivo pictures outside of the zoom lens look like trash compared to the Samsung. Over sharpened, over saturated and reminds me of Samsung around the S9 days when color science and processing wasn't as good as today. The photo of your daughter looked like a smeared mess on the Vivo when it went crazy with the noise reduction and sharpness. Samsung's wasn't great either but at least its recoverable with some editing. Although you reached a different conclusion, this video alone showed me to not go with the Xfold 3 just from picture and video quality alone.

It seems indeed that we are not watching the same video. I often take pictures with a professional camera, and there is no contest, Vivo's camera is MUCH better. Samsung has too much processing, you are losing all the details. And I'm saying this, typing with a Samsung fold 5, that will be swapped shortly for Vivo ot Honor.

[@seanhomar5945]

Just purchased the vivo x 3 fold pro, after weeks of research into these two I decided the larger battery, higher performance on vivo, and not to mention the better screen ratio plus a saving of £600 means the vivo was my choice.

Are there many case options with the vivo

[@seanhomar5945]

@jgoodman85 you get a leather case with the phone in the box, it just covers the back and supports the Hinge. The two screens come with screen protector all ready fitted. It's a great phone and once you got rid of all the Chinese apps and put on your usual Google apps it's great. Only downside is at current you can't use voice assistant and android auto doesn't work, but there is an adaptor you can buy. I am waiting to see if soon I can get it flashed so I have global rom and hopefully those issue could be resolved but as of yet not an option.

I would disagree I use my foldables as tablets on the go I can fold and carry with me. I use it for notes for my videos, web sites, sided by side screens.

I have the Vivo Fold 3 X Pro and it's absolutely perfect! Easily the best Fold on the market today! Don't care about the pen and I never use it on my iPad Pro. Also I need to say this: in the video you mention some wrong things, like there is nothing on the Vivo's software like Samsung's DEX. This statement is wrong. In OriginOS you have this functionality and it works just like DEX. FuntouchOS has fewer features, such as AI options, image editor, video editor, etc.. where the OriginOS is much more complete and superior than FuntouchOS and has all these features and AI stuff.
