See you at 7PM

I have waited years. I have been excited for the foldable format, But I have never found a device That quite ticked off all the boxes. A foldable phone with water resistance, wireless charging, decent camera, Powerful processor, fast charging And not built like a brick. The only real option I've had has been Samsung. I don't think I've seen a significant change to Samsung's design since the third generation. Everyone else from just beside my borders with devices that can work with my systems seem to have little bits and pieces but never the full package. Me holding on to my candy bar phone waiting for the day at foldable can do it all. And now finally, We have one. with all the bells and whistles one can dream of. ... By what curse am I tormented to have it blocked to work only properly in China 😭😭😭 Sigh... At least I know it's physically possible. I just have to wait for it to be possible in my economic market 😅😢😭😭

Another great video Mike. Thanks 👏 You mention the how good the cameras are but there is still little information from reviewers on macro and macro video. Please please can you do a little on macro and macro video. 😃👍

Great video overall Mike and loving this phone so much.

Greqt review AD. Thanks for the enthusiasm and the drive to keep the Fans of Folding Flock informed.

Maybe this will be my first foldable phone.

It's without question the dream spec, form and extra bells and whistles version. If you are fortunate enough to live somewhere where using the software won't have hiccups with the tech available en mass in your area, or you can live with the workarounds, it's the only foldable I think one could recommend to anyone without question.

I absolutely like your honest reviews. Keep it up.

Enjoying my Vivo X Fold 3 Pro as much as you do 👊🏼 Thanks for your insights and video

@@reginaldpierre It was released in India (and so far only India) yesterday. There have been Whispers of a European release, however I've only seen this on one source and have not found others to back this claim up.

There is a global rom coming in June according to news outlets. This will be a killer even better than Honor Magic V2.

Came back to this video as i had a thought. Sure it might not get a global release, but if it does and it gets the worse UI, can't i just replace it with Nova launcher solving that software issue? Just curious on the possibilities as a way to get around global ROM being worse than the standard one

Hey Avera Dad, was wondering if Nova Launcher works on the Vivo X Fold without resetting back to the native launcher, thank you in advance for your help

Thank you for this vid... It changed my mind again... 99% sure this is the phone I'll be ordering from your store this week

Here in our country, the Vivo X Fold 3 and the Samsung Z Fold 5 has the same price due to discounts. Which would you prefer if they have the same price range? Thanks!

Im glad you did a bit on the 3x zoom, on paper it doesnt sound like much but in reality vivo is working their camera magic again! Best zoom on fold looks like but i look forward to some direct comparisons! Mike you are making it very difficult for me not to order this phone lol..

I watch every your video with fold phones and i think there is a tiny problem with reviews segment. There are people who first time click on your films looking for review of device so i think you should talk about all futures of the smartphone. For example in this film you don't mention about wireless charging or any changing in fakt, ultrasonic fingerprint unlock too and other things maybe to. I am going to say you should talk about futures like those in your reviews. This full review can decide someone purchase decision and some people can buy thinks after just one review so stuff like those are important even if you talk about this things again and again😊 Looking forward for x fold 3 vs 3 pro full comparison and hope it will be long 😅😅

Great review! I'm waiting to compare this to the xiaomi mix fold 4 and z fold 6 to make my final decision. If they release oneplus open 2 this year I'll consider that one too.

You think it's worth upgrading to the x fold 3 pro from the OnePlus open here in the US? I have a Samsung s24 ultra that I have my main sim in and use mainly because of the camera. My open I use as a complimentary device at the moment and use my mobile hotspot to give data to the OnePlus open.

Mike, the rumors were this was vivos last fold. Due to potentially how well tgis phone will sell because they've made arguably the best 2 foldables in the world, even this year's ones will struggle, so you think they will cancel their plans to stop and make a vivo x fold 4 next year?

Thanks for the video. You can't give people your battery life ratings by stating just that the device lasts you 2 days. That's basically meaningless without stating SOT. You need to include a mixture of screen on time and idle time one with that 2 day overall battery to really give people an idea of what to expect. We all use our devices differently so SOT and idle times are imperative to truly judge battery life.

Спасибо огромное за обзор и тест, это самый лучший на данный момент раскладывающийся телефон. Я сам из россии и у нас есть глобальный продавец в магазинах от vivo, но vivo завозит в россию только бюджетные модели своих телефонов. Я бы с удовольствием приобрёл бы fold 3 pro, но останавливает отсутствие официальной гарантии в России на даную модель

Coming back to this review... Vivo India set the benchmark price for the new global version at a NASTY Rs. 1,59,999 (£1,500, €1,761, 1,700CHF)!!! They were supposed to undercut the competition and be affordable to us, not join the Samsung side!!! Greedy greedy nothing but greedy!! I am FURIOUS!!! 😭😭😭😡😡😡😡😡😡

One Plus Fold has shown the way for Chinese Phones to go Globally in North America and do well against Samsung and Google. Why are the other Chinese (Honor, Vivo, Xioami, Huawai) folding phones not following suit to make money?

Only thing keeping me from buying this phone is smart watch connectivity. I managed to get Honor mahic V2 to connect to my Ticwatch pro 3GPS. I sold HMV2 and updated my Ticwatch to latest wear os which wont connect with any Chinese roms phones.😢

I still suggest reviews do not simply talk about a phones build quality until after 2 months of usage, maybe they should divide into two sessions, initial and post build quality review. Yes usage of a device is dependent on individuals but it's key especially for foldable phones to do post build quality. Honor magic v2 was praised for its build quality, guess what that piece of crap collapsed within just 2 weeks of ownership, the inner screen bubbled and stopped functioning. When companies say we have tested the folding mechanism 400k to Million times, remember this test is simply in an isolated structured manner , not in any given shape representative of real world usage. I am not critizing the channel I think you are doing a fantastic job and hopefully some things can be adjusted. These products are not cheap.
