Pixel Fold vs Mate X3 vs Fold 4: Perspectives From A Foldable Enthusiast
Ғылым және технология
The Google Pixel Fold is here, and it's very impressive for a first time effort from a company not known for making great hardware. But there are little bits here and there about the phone that needs polishing. Still, I really like the Pixel Fold so far and plan on using it for a while.

God protects you from the association [with Him]. Amin 🍓 وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ دَاۤبَّةࣲ... Allah has created every [living] creature from water. And of them are those that move on their bellies, and of them are those that walk on two legs, and of them are those that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills. Indeed, Allah is over allthings competent. (Quran) وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٖ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رِزۡقُهَا... And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision, and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register.(Quran) PS : Allah is the name of God in arabic . The arabic jewish & christians arabs they say Allah too . In the arabic bible it is written Allah. Only 18% of Muslims are Arabs but 82 % they are Muslims but not Arabs so the majority of Muslims are not Arabs .& the arabic word islam, it means submission (Submit to God) which is the religion of all prophets since Adam including the messengers Moses, Jesus and Muhamad peace and blessing of Allah be upon Them all .They have One God, one Religion & one straight path (the pure Monotheism). إِنَّ هَـٰذِهِۦۤ أُمَّتُكُمۡ أُمَّةࣰ وَ ٰحِدَةࣰ وَأَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُونIndeed this community of yours (your religion) is one single community(is one religion), and I am your Lord, so worship Me.(Quran)مَا كَانَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمُ يَهُودِيّٗا وَلَا نَصۡرَانِیࣰّا... Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah ]. And he was not of the polytheists(Quran) إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَىٰ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ ءَادَمَۖ... Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created him from dust; then He said to him, "Be," and he was. (Quran)وَإِلَـٰهُكُمۡ إِلَـٰهࣱ وَ ٰحِدࣱۖ لَّاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ ٱلرَّحِیمُAnd your God is one God. There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful (Quran). ... مَّا یَفۡعَلُ ٱللَّهُ بِعَذَابِكُمۡ إِن شَكَرۡتُمۡ What would Allah do with your punishment if you are grateful and believe? And ever is Allah Appreciative and Knowing .(Quran) Thanks wich you the best from heart🍓All prophets came with abnormal proves to their people to prove their message from God. And because the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessing of Allah be upon him) He was the last Prophet and messenger for the Worlds, (the jinn and mankind) so his proves will exist till before the day of judjement , the day of Resurrection .And not like all other prophets which their Miracls and proves were just in their time .

You're right chinese brands are far more ahead in the foldable department and quite disappointing coming from a company such as Goggle
You've brought it again Ben, I recall your review have leaned me towards jumping into Vivo phones I'm still using(Fold X). Thank you!
Very nice and detailed… I love Mate X3 always. ❤
Thank you for always being so honest with your reviews. It helps with purchasing decisions.
The hardware on the Mate X3 is ridiculously good. They sort of tapered the hinge area. It makes it almost look like a composition notebook which gives it a more streamline unibody appearance. By comparison, the Z and Pixel look more like a textbook. The Z in particular still looks like two phones stacked on top of each other. Anyhow, awesome review as always Ben. No one is going to argue you have the most experience with foldables, especially when it comes to comparisons.
Great video as always Ben! Great seeing someone with a ton of foldable experience share thoughts about the newcomer.

Great review, giving viewers explainations or solutions in using apps that might have initial optimisations problem. The design of this Pixel fold really looks good. I've always wanted a Pixel phone but too bad there's no official or a legit distributor in where I live.
it's the first time u sounded embarrassed :) nicely unscripted touch! 6:05
Having used and spent more time with more foldables does give your review more credibility Ben Indeed👌👍. The Instagram moment was hilarious by the way! 😆

You are absolutely right. Your channel is the only channel I turn to when I want to check a foldable phone. Flossy Carter channel is also the one to turn to when checking out a foldable.

Hi nice video bro I have the oppo find n2 fold and I love the phone I just want to ask u will it get any future software updates
That was really nice review...happy with fold4...
i agree with all the foldabales you reviewed, and your the most thorough. So question do would you prefer the pixel fold, or the vivo x fold 2? I preordered the pixel fold on verizon, but seeing reviews of the vivo x fold 2
Great video Ben! As a fellow HKer, can you check if Pixel Fold can use 5G in Hong Kong?
Thanks for the amazing comparison. What do you think about the space between screen protector and the sides of the phone that leaves part of the display unprotected? I hope you mention this in the review. Also many users in Reddit reported their devices have died in the first day or after a couple of hours that's why I am worried about durability in comparison to Samsung

I really like my mate x3! I have been using over 1 month, there is no complaint, even though it has no google service and 5G. Generally speaking, some argued that it is ridiculous problem not supporting 5G in this modern city, but mate x3 has better signal connecting to internet. For instance, my spare iphone 14 pro was revealing the connection linking with 5G, but it could not be perfectly browsed website. On the other hand, mate x3 was perfectly playing video using 4G connectivity. Pretty love mate x3!!!

My BIL just got his today also and yeah it's super nice... That short stubby front screen is a bit too stubby... And the inside screen seem s a bit smaller than the fold ones, but I have faith in this one. We will see in the next few weeks.
Also Flossy Carter do foldables too. Google 's first foldable is good but I will wait for next year. Great job Ben✌🏿👍🏿💯

Recently I got a replacement Pixel 7 Pro and since having it I cannot get below 8 hours SOT with my usage, i.e. 2 days at 4 hours SOT per day! So I am assuming that the chip used has been improved over the last 9 months. This is standard; TSMC states that improvement is ongoing per cycle, ergo 5% better yield per quarter. So I would not worry about battery life.
"OH!! SHIT!!!" these are the impressions I was waiting for. The Truth.
This guy seems pretty honest.
nice story there, Ben!
Would you perfer the Pixel Fold over the Oppo Find N2? A comparison between those two foldables would be great as they are nearly the same form factor.
Great Review Ben!! Judging by your Instagram feed i can tell why you love foldable's so much!! LOL
Off the topic, I like that Jim Kelley tshirt. Where would I order one?

@@Maximum_Android I think I understood you correctly. You just wrote: "the internal screen has much more tablet-format (rectangular) vs any other foldable". I assume "any other foldable" includes also Z Fold, right? But the Z Fold has an internal screen with exactly the same format (6:5) and exactly the same length and with. This is 100% true. I am not telling you anything wrong. It is literally the same panel. I have no idea how Google managed in their presentation to make everyone believe they had a unique display format.
that 2010 year bezel in pixel is priceless!
Having tried the Mate Xs2. I understand that foldables will never catch on unless and until evey app developer gets on board with it.
Hi. Please, tell me, how many apps can be open and used at the same time, on each foldable. Thank you.

Hello Ben, you nailed that comparison. Competition is becoming very though on foldable aspect and Chinese manufacturers are making it very competitive. Well lets see if Apple could get into that though competition 😅😅 Although it's difficult now that foldable has gone way better than the first samples of years ago.

Last time I checked, the latest Samsung fold demo unit in the store still have my finger nail mark on it. Whatever way better, it still way way way far from being basic durable
Ive been trying to use the Pixel Fold for a day now and even though the hardware is okay, it has first gen software issues that I don't appreciate for a 1799 USD device. Using the Pixel fold and Z Fold side by side, it's really clear the Samsung fold is superior. Even the software optimizations made by Vivo and Xiaomi, both of which I used, are better than what the Pixel offers

When Instagram burned you out 😂 great review man, you definitely know your foldables
The Oppo Fold and Pixel seem like the most comparable. Be interesting to see the Gen2 Oppo Fold compared to Tensor Pixel fold since form factor are most alike. Peace
I think flossy Carter has tested quite a few, he also imports lots of Chinese foldables
I've decided to to buy a new foldable. But I'm leaning on purchasing a new one which is not Samsung. Hence, amongst all the latest foldable phones that you have reviewed so far in 2023, which would you recommend should I get? Thanks Ben😊
There's a reason why Ben is the go-to for tech reviews
My preference is the Samsung because of its tall screen format when closed. The same way I prefer Sony's Xperia 1 and 5. It's because I'm disabled, I only have full use of my right hand. It hasn't stopped me from being a tech addict and I currently have a Z Fold 3. I'll be upgrading soon because I find the new hinge to be a big feature. So it depends on your preferences, which in my case is based on my physical limitations.
Wow, imagine if Google could collaborate with Huawei to make the next Fold hardware like back in the Nexus days with the latest snapdragon chip inside as opposed to Tensor.
LMAO good thing you kept the instagram story part 😂😂
I have been holding off on the Huawei Mate X3 because I heard the banking apps don't really work on it.I am in the USA.Am I correct that I could use Gbox,GSpace,and Lighthouse,for banking apps and everything Google related?Also,since you are very familiar with the Xiaomi phones,do you feel the Mix Fold 3 would be better for the banking/Google issues?Thanks.

Man the Huawei Mate X3 looks best to me but Im too reliant on google stuff so the google services thing kills it for me, huge disappointment and total bullshit how US tries to take its ball and go home regarding Huawei competition. That said pixel fold seems a little rough, think Ill wait for the Oneplus to come out....or maybe Honor foldable? Thanks as always for your excellent reviews, rare to find a sincere and genuinely enthusiastic reviewer who is clearly passionate about their mission rather than just taking a check/free products
Which did you feel had better battery life, the Galaxy Fold or the Pixel Fold?
A thumbs up for your honest reaction to IG story
My man Ben. 😂 I'm definitely getting the pixel fold.
If the mate x3 had native google services it would absolutely be the top foldable available right now as far a form factor and hardware
Flossy Carter in the Usa also do full review of All foldable as well and it's rare to see american tech KZreadr doing that .
