As always great review, quick, straight to the point, no loud obnoxious music or intros, keep it up 👍

[@ShaneSymonds]

Will do!

[@GAMIR_SFM]

This may be the first time i see you doing a review of a Xiaomi product! Cool

[@solivares]

I think the Fold 4 has the best software and camera but the Mix Fold 2 has the best design of any foldable by far and that’s no small feat. If Samsung copies this design they’ll have quite an amazing gadget

[@drestrick3899]

All snap 👀👀👀 keep em coming

[@blueretro96]

Thank you for this review btw! 👍

[@drestrick3899]

I'm ready for all these videos

[@69inMW2]

Your voice sounds exactly like a runescape streamer but literally can't think of who i'm thinking of! Nice review anyway

[@markh8921]

How good is the multitasking and creating multi app tile shortcuts on the xiaomi compared to the Z fold 4..?? And does it have a Edge panel option like the z folds..?? Hopefully Samsung will take notice of those larger screen sizes ..

[@Andrewkc1969]

Nice review! I've ordered mine and it should be here tomorrow. Did you have any issues using Google Messages on the phone? I'm asking because the Oppo Find N won't let you switch to it.

[@HowieHuynh]

How's the notifications when it comes to Google messages and Rcs. Saw other videos about oppo and vivo having issues

[@Refael380]

Hello Shane, Thank you very much for your first look. Can you on your next review compare software between Fold 4 and this model please?

[@ShaneSymonds]

I can if there's enough interest! I'd be interested in doing a comparison for sure

[@TripleIProductions]

Damn, im impressed. If i was to get one, it would be this.

[@khalidobaid10]

Hello, thank you for this wonderful presentation Does it support google store And does it support social media channels? Are there any defects in the software compared to Samsung?

[@Eivind.A]

There's a few reasons why I prefer the Gallux Fold. The absolute main reason is the s-pen. This have become a "must have" on my main devices. Also out of the devices that I actually do use on daily basis, I prefer the OneUi more than any other. (The absolute worst one that I really, really dislike, is the iOS) That's it for now 👍

[@ShaneSymonds]

Yep it took me a bit to adjust to this software and it's still not my favorite but you put up with it since the screens are so good lol

[@TazzKId]

I highly doubt you have ever used a iPhone as a main driver.

[@Eivind.A]

@@TazzKId I've tried quite a few times both the iPhone and the iPad , and the result have been the same every time. First iPhone that I bought was the iPhone 4 and the last time was the 13 Pro Max last year Had my main sim in it for about 2 1/2 weeks, but it pi$$ed me of just about every single day. The only two things that I liked were the battery and the sound on the speakers. However, this could not compensate the awfully, annoying and highly overated iOS with a total lack of choices + a lot of other issues. It's just so annoying!

[@cosmicdaszee7832]

I have a question where do you get your phone wallpapers i want the toaster one 😊

[@jmpcrx]

Had a fold 2 for 2 years, thatll be my next phone

[@treythedoggo5404]

yo man, so i am a foreigner (tochina) but living in china and the mix fold 3 is said to be released on the 11th of august... after watching your video i am wondering if you advise buying the fold 5 or that of the mix fold 3 being a current apple user and keen transitioner to foldables...

[@lukecoverdale3861]

My main worry (as is apparent with the fold range) is the potential for cracks appearing down the crease, it was hard enough to reach out to samsung when this happened to my fold3 but Xiaomi would be very difficult to resolve as these are not available in the UK (so would have to import)

[@donaldthompson3434]

Can you tell me what service you are using with it?

[@blueretro96]

Will you be reviewing the mix fold 3 which is susposed to be released August 2023? Which provider will these work on - T-mobile, Mint, Google Fi?

[@NewYorksFinest1]

Will it work fully on tmobiles bands?

[@PghJugrnot]

What game is in the video?

[@VinnyHuffman268]

How did you get this fold?

[@francisvillareal7517]

my next phone!

[@JEkongz]

I just bought my Samsung A7 Lite. So far so good

[@williammathies2998]

Thanks!

[@ShaneSymonds]

Thanks for watching and supporting!

[@lllololoollollooolll8698]

my fold 4 is prob the best phone I've ever owned especially with nova prime. temhe only thing I miss is my one plus 8 lightning charge.

[@saleembashir703]

Tempted to sell my F4GT and buy this.

[@MattRobloxYT1]

I think you should compare this to the Samsung Galaxy Z fold 2.

[@jesslosaria9322]

I'm super impressed with my fold 4. I don't think this video can convince me to switch. But competition Is always good though

[@lucychocha1035]

How much is it going in Zambian kwacha?

[@rustun1881]

I don't understand people, this guy paid money, bought a phone and examined it and got only 658 likes as of now, but copyist youtubers who collect videos from videos shot by different people on other channels break click records, what's wrong with these people, where is the respect for effort? I'm not a friend of this guy but I was upset I think it was a pretty good review.

[@shehuumar9170]

How much

[@Aieyz98]

Shane please review VIVO X FOLD 2🙏🏻

[@drestrick3899]

Software comparison

[@LordCommandor]

I own the fold 1 & 2 and I'm done with foldables.

[@beautyneytiri]

such a HUGE SHAME that this one is not available here in Holland.

[@cris.han0311]

The z fold with this display both in and out would make it perfect

[@ShaneSymonds]

These screens and a built in S Pen would be awesome

[@alsey7]

I've been a Xiaomi owner since Redmi note 4.....and last phone I've owned was Redmi note 11 pro 5g. But it's time to move on. The main reason is that Xiaomi phones have been banned on any support on 5g network here in the United States. Sure it has 4g but it's getting slowly blocked

[@edarioconsebido2946]

How to buy Xiaomi mix fold 2

[@ildefonsorejuso5121]

wish ihave one☹️

[@Mickieshelton]

I was gonna buy a Xiaomi mi 11 ultra once..couldn't find it. But how does this phone work for English/American user? Does 5G work? That alone would put it beneath the Fold 4 immediately. A flex mode or not?

[@ShaneSymonds]

I've had 4G only so far I think, no 5G.

[@ShaneSymonds]

No flex mode either

[@tobeybogardus4620]

I get 5g on TMobile on my Xiaomi Fold 2 and my Xiaomi 12s Ultra

[@Mickieshelton]

@@tobeybogardus4620 good deal

[@Mickieshelton]

@@ShaneSymonds uh oh

[@Oztinfrog]

7:56 that battery might not last even 2 years 💀 with that kind of charging

[@ShaneSymonds]

The charging is insane I love it

[@oh-noe]

nothing special for xiaomi. I have my Mi11 on 55w charging and it's almost 2 years since I've got it. Still charges normally and battery still lasts like it should

[@mokisan]

No offence, but why are American reviewers so gung ho about ip rating and wireless charging? Every reviewer complains about it like its such a big issue. 😅 And the reason xiaomi didn't put a wireless charger is because its thinnest fold, and the reason there is not waterproof rating in the fold is because it has no significant creases like the fold. Chinese foldable don't have much a crease whe compared to the Korean counterpart because they avoid ip rating.

[@ShaneSymonds]

I'll never forget buying my Galaxy Fold 2 for 2k USD and being worried sick about it lacking water resistance, so much to the point I would leave it at home and swap my SIM to another phone if I knew it was raining out or if I knew there was a chance it would get wet. Sounds overkill but when you spend so much money on something the peace of mind goes a long way. It's interesting to see how for some it does not matter as much. I did see the SIM tray on this Xiaomi had a gasket so there's some level of water protection at least

[@lukecoverdale3861]

Wholly agree, water resistance and wireless charging and way down at the bottom of functions that I would look for in a device.

[@naafi2287]

I guess when it comes to the ip rating, just having it is for peace of mind in case the phone is exposed to water and other stuff but if you ask me if the phone has a rubber ring around the SIM tray it should be alright if you accidentally get caught in the rain

[@AaronCrawford]

Several reasons why it is lighter. Missing a few elements

[@openrelationships]

Everyone, it's SHAO-mi. Not gzhao-mi

[@delgadomal]

The box looks like the fold 2 box

[@ShaneSymonds]

Yeah I'm loving the accessories, seems silly but Samsung gives a cable and nothing else when I used to love everything they gave you just a couple years ago

[@delgadomal]

Are you going to be doing any give aways

[@hartdr8074]

Its pronounced shaomi, not zhjaomi.... otherwise they would have spelt it Zhaomi not Xiaomi

[@john2001plus]

I feel like the 6 to 6.5 form factor on iPhones is sufficient.

[@ShaneSymonds]

Someday they will make a foldable too so it will be interesting to see how peoples minds will change on this kind of thing!

[@_Mario_PL_]

@@ShaneSymonds It's the same old song with iPhone users. They are just too blind to see anything else.

[@250piccadilly9]

£1500 phone with no IP rating, and no wireless charging 😂

[@beautyneytiri]

normally every single phone comes out here but when it comes to foldables, we can only buy the disgrace from Samsung.

[@jcald68]

Ya guy's forget something, It's Chinese.

[@naafi2287]

Dude almost everything is made in China chill out lol

[@christosarampatzis6490]

1) No water resistant 2) no s pen support 3) no flex mode 4) no dex 5) no wirreless charging 6) no reverse wirreless charging + better android with one ui.. I think i will keep my z fold 4..

[@drestrick3899]

Hopefully samsung will widen that outer screen but I'm interested in the software myself

[@ShaneSymonds]

Yeah I might do a head to head comparison if there's enough interest but ultimately the Fold 4 is more everyday user friendly

[@christosarampatzis6490]

@@ShaneSymonds I am watching 2-3 times every video of your channel. Esspecially the videos with folds

[@furrywarrior7642]

I take it the Fold 4 is better?

[@connormcleod9595]

I'll take the xiaomi

[@canad-ian]

Good insight. It shows what Samsung could probably do and even better than Xiaomi and Oppo. Just a matter of easing people into each iteration. I think the Fold 5 will be an amazing device and I'm coming from a Fold 3.
