Vivo X Fold 3 Pro - GLOBAL - You asked for it!

I'm glad you got that phone to review . I'm waiting for your review then I will make my mind up whether to buy the global or the Chinese. cheers pal top man 👍

[@peterheemskerk3182]

I’m in Australia and got the Chinese Rom and it’s an AMAZING phone. The best foldable I’ve ever had. I’ve had the Z Fold 4&5 and Google Pixel Fold and they don’t even Rate compared to the X Fold 3 Pro. The cameras are fantastic, the thinness, the weight and the overall feel is Great. I don’t use android auto, I just use Bluetooth so that’s not an issue and I’ve got the Kospet Tank M3 Ultra and Xiaomi watch S3 which work perfectly with it. Also all the banking apps and Google Pay work seamlessly and I also love Origin OS. Don’t waste your hard earned money on the Global edition, get the Chinese Rom 😊

[@AverageDadOfficial]

such as?

[@daouei]

​@@peterheemskerk3182same here from France with the white pro model. An amazing fordable device that keep impress me since I use it for a month now. Everything is smooth and the camera... Oh my gosh 😲 That's my first foldable and I am so glad cause it's even better than my Honor Magic 5 pro 😂😁 Love that device!! 💪

[@genocequa]

great phone but I'm glad I got the chinese ROM version 16 gig 1 tb storage white. I saved quite a bit paying a little over $1500 including fast shipping and a guaranteed 1 year warranty. This is my 3rd vivo foldable after leaving Samsung z fold series

[@anquion1966]

You are the person I need to talk to!!! I have a fold 4 and thinking of switching to this vivo instead of getting the new fold 6.

[@erictayet]

Dude, I have the Z Fold 5 AND X Fold and it has the Jun 1 security patch. My mum's V-?? phone from 3 years ago still gets updates. Only my old Nex & Nex 3 don't get updates anymore.

[@NBGUYVER]

I think Vivo only gets 3 years security updates. Fold 5 gets 5 years and fold 6 gets 7 years

[@falklands89]

Very much looking forward to the software tour and the difference between the OS versions... I have book marked the handset on your store... I'm currently waiting to see if the Z fold 6 wins me over as I've become disenchanted with my Pixel Fold (I have owned every Z Fold prior to the Pixel release). Both the Z fold 6 and the Pixel Fold 2 look lacklustre, but I'm on the fence about buying a phone from a company with virtually no presence in the UK and usually the software experiences seem rather lacking, hope you can set my mind at ease.

[@jonathanberg3729]

Thankyou for this unboxing! I own the Chinese variant however have ongoing issues with MS Outlook and Teams which require updated Google Security Patches in order to work ...The desire and overpaying (completely agree) for the Global Version is the 'expectation' that those apps will work. Smartwatch compatibility (wear os 4/5) is also great to have. Anyways my comments. Thankyou for stocking the Global Version...

[@NBGUYVER]

There's been a ban by the U.S. government on Chinese phones. That started a couple of years ago. Any U.S. company is forbidden to support Chinese phones

[@badder002]

whats the issue with outlook and teams ?

[@jowdemanne]

If not for Android Auto, I would be ordering the chinese ROM version now... But I just need it for both my car and bike. Buying a GPS for those things that work as well as AA would require me to spend more than the difference so... Yeah xD

[@melcoool]

HI Average Dad, i never owned a fold phone before and was wondering if i should buy a vivo xfold 3 or honor magic V3 instead? .....appreciate your view

You must. I just bought it yesterday. My first fold. Awesome experience. I handled the phone on display for 7 straight days for atleast 2hrs a day in a local showroom. And then decided over Samsung fold 6 and OnePlus open. 🎉

There is quite more difference between Chinese and global. Speciously wallet didn't take main street bank card, voice commands, android auto ( like you said its possibly come in) Google news on slide site in launcher and few more. But again your question it's all this worth it £600? Many want just easy setup and have smooth run without hassle from Chinese rom. I didn't have Funtouch before but origin os was actually really good. So my question is also did vivo x fold 3pro global is really global like you buy in Europe. India and Indonesia has different markets and not sure if all bands and service is same like Europe
