That says a lot if you reach into your pocket and can't tell the foldable apart from a regular phone. Amazing how far foldables have gotten. Looking forward to more camera comparison with the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro.
Let me let you in on a secret as a five year fold owner. Apart from this world called planet spend $2000 every time a new fold device comes out pretentious bananas, the average person working at McDonald's or Walmart can't tell the difference between a fold device made by any of these manufacturers. To the rest of the planet, they're all the best.
I'm really thinking of buying a foldable but none of them are even in the top 10 in the DoXmark rankings. Love the quality of Xiaomi, Honor and Huawei cameras but are their foldables even as good in terms of cameras?
I owned its predecessor, the Xiaomi Mix Fold3, for about half a year here in Germany before I sold it again. One thing I noticed with the new one, is that they ditched the built-in kickstand on the official phone case. I found that once you actually start using the phone yourself, you realize just how useful it is for a foldable. Also, I don't like the look of the new camera island - I much prefer the old one. But in general, in terms of look, I think the Honor looks much better than the Xiaomi this time around!
Great review. Love how you made some comparisons to the other two top foldables. Just ordered a Vivo X Fold 3 Pro (Global). Looking forward to it. Currently have a Z Fold 6.
You guys have honor at least. In NA we have literally nothing. You mostly get to pick between Samsung and Apple, and recently oneplus open and pixel. But even oneplus only has like 4 phones on their site here.
Thank you for your professional reviews on those phones. I would select between Honor Magic V3 and Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 for my next phone. Since I get older, I would like to have the fold phone with the bigger screen which can be easy on my eyes. Love your reviews and BRAVO!👍👍👍✌✌✌💯💯💯❤❤❤
very good camera comparison ! i was thinking about selling my 100 Pro for the Ultra.. but not worth for me the almost 400€ here in EU.. one tip : next time when you put the comparison photos near each other, please take care of the order from left to right, don't change it up, cause sometimes it was confusing, Pro first, Ultra mid, Oppo last, then Oppo first Pro mid, Ultra last.. :P or whatever model should come, it's easier to follow
It's a great looking phone. I'm rocking the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro and I think it's pretty light weight but being 20 mg lighter is pretty impressive. But everyone also loves the pics the Vivo produces. Chinese cells are great!
I love your videos Ben, again another great one 👏 You're brillant and are a natural 😉 ✌️ I hold the Vivo X Fold 3 pro, the white one under Origin, for two months now. I am so happy seeing your review about it cause I believe there is no better foldable right now in terms of camera and battery also the 8.03" inner screen is so enjoyable as same as the 100 charging Watts. I do wanna ask for a favor please cause I couldn't make the voice control for incoming calls work despite everything is set up correctly here. Have you tried with yours as well? Couldn't find any answer about it even on different FB groups 😔 Would you mind to take a moment of your busy time and helping me out ? 😅 Sorry for asking, I got nowhere else to turn to no more 😅🙏 Keep the good work, and am awaiting your next video about that testing camera... I believe it won't reach Vivo's though 🤔😁 Cheers mate, and sorry again for asking your help 😉
Thanks Ben, it will be very interesting to listen ur full review of mix fold 4, compare it to the Honor V3 and Vivo's Fold x 3 pro, witch one of them better use aboard China and etc. So sad, than Xiaomi will not take mix fold 4 to global release. Also looking forward to your best foldable 2024 video =)
Great video Ben. All things considered (cameras, hardware, software, battery, etc), which latest gen foldable would you choose: Samsung, Vivo, Honor or Xiaomi?
Hi Ben, I really enjoy watching your video's. I find them really insightful. I bought a Xiaomi Pad S6 Pro based on your video and I'm very happy with it. Now I'm looking to buy a foldable phone and debating on getting a VIVO X FOLD 3 PRO or a HONOR MAGIC V3 or Xiaomi Mix Fold 4. I'm leaning towards a VIVO, but the problem is, it is only available in Chinese version for a decent price. (Global version rare and 3 times the price). I'm okay with buying a Chinese version, but I'm a bit concerned with the banking apps and Google Pay will not work. Any chance you can confirm whether these will be an issue or not on a Chinese ROM and which phone would you recommend to get???? (I also live in HKG but do travel a lot). I'm not too bothered with the camera. I need the phone mainly for Banking and day to day management productivity. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
I'm watching from the one foldable phone you did a drop test on😅 Seriously though it's the OnePlus Open and I love this phone! I can't wait to see what OPPO/ OnePlus does with their next gen foldable. No one can touch them for their crease management.
Hey Ben 👋🏻 how you doing .. good to see mi fold reviews so early - also waiting for Vivo v40 pro _ 😊 so happy to see you're channel reaching good audience. I'm not kinda active in youtube comment section..
Thank you for the detailed review. I have been using Vivo's phone as my daily driver, but lately their Google Play Service is not working and the instant message notification of LINE is severely delayed, which I suspect may be due to the Great Wall of China. I have provided feedback to Vivo, but have not seen any service improvements. However, my other Xiaomi phone is working fine. As a result, I am seriously considering switching to the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 as my new daily driver, provided that their Google Services and message notification work seamlessly with the rest of the world. Oh...and is that an under screen fingerprint sensor phone or button sensor phone?
Yeah with Xiaomi I just put on a portrait effect after the fact. It works far better than using the portrait mode. Especially on my 13 ultra with sensors that give you a good amount of background separation so stitching is hardly ever a problem.
I love the design of this phone, but there is some real software issues and other reviews have highlighted some hardware issues with the hinge and fingerprint reader.
does mix fold 4 confirm no global launch? it look so promising so far... and already mid August and still no news... i wait mix foldable since last year and i already lose hope and may opt to honor v3 or coming oppo find N5.
6:13 If cabon fiber is stronger than aluminum and is lighter then cabon fiber is a excellent choice material is use. And I want to believe that cabon fiber material is cheaper than other materials.
Another great video Ben as always. I'm still not convinced a foldable is right for me even putting aside the huge premium over the flagship slab phone equivalent at least here in the US where options are much more limited. The only one I'd possibly consider cause I'm a Pixel user is the upcoming 9 Pro Fold but so far leaks aren't promising as far as the camera hardware and coming from the Pixel 8 Pro, it would be a downgrade with the cameras but I'm still interested in seeing the rest of the hardware and how much better it's gotten over the first Pixel Fold. I also like that they moved away from the Pixel Fold design to something closer to the OP Open which is better for using with the inner display and side by side multitasking with the taller display. The smaller 9 Pro though is super tempting and if there are no deal breaking differences between it and the Pro XL then the smaller size will be really refreshing to go back to after the 7 Pro and 8 Pro.
1) Is the screen of the V3 dimensionally as long as the Z Fold 6 to watch comfortably 16:9 vids 2) Is the cameras the V3 just better or better better than Z Fold 6 / Magic V2? I am asking because I can buy the Magic V2 for 1.150€ or the Z Fold 6 for 1.450€ brand-new (student discounts, discounts and cash-back included).😅
The Chinese brands are putting Samsung to shame in terms of hardware design and camera abilities. It's a shame none of them are available from carriers in the UK
Maybe i should stick with my Vivo X Fold+ its too comfort until today, hopefully Vivo X Fold 4 will bring more feature and bigger battery more than 6000mah is recommended.
Anyone. I'm really thinking of buying a foldable but none of them are even in the top 10 in the DoXmark rankings. Love the quality of Xiaomi, Honor and Huawei cameras but are their foldables even as good in terms of cameras?
I think that this form factor is just dope. That camera quality though is just not good…usability is a bit iffy imo and it’s just a smarphone issue. The switching of lenses when zooming while in video mode is just ugh. Photos however look quite good. Other than that the device itself to me is brilliant!
I don't give a monkeys about how thin the phone is, every manufacturer seems obsessed with this atm. I just want a 1 inch sensor and a stylus built in at these prices
That is because it is thinner, so likely, there are components around the edges, much like the Pixel Fold. Just a different design choice and preferable for me, as thinner is much more important than slightly larger bezels (aesthetics).
Just a great workup on this phone. I SO want to import it (living in USA) but it won't work on Verizon... so I'd have to switch at AT&T or something. That's a lot of work just for a phone. 😂
9.4mm is without the camera bump....lol...the camera bump will not disappeared in your pocket..the hinges is not stable.... can't stand to hold position...try 120degree angle
Hey, I don't want to say you are wrong with saying that you didn't hear any chinese foldable phone cracking or anything but there is also this thing of global marketing where samsung was the only one selling a foldable globally for a long time. So more people got it and rhe more you have of something the more people will complain. So maybe that's a reason people didn't complain about others first versions. Now oneplus and Google or in europe too. Hope to see more foldable coming to europe.
That says a lot if you reach into your pocket and can't tell the foldable apart from a regular phone. Amazing how far foldables have gotten. Looking forward to more camera comparison with the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro.
Love your videos. Looking forward to your best foldable this year video

wow, i like the honesty. super impressive u couldn't tell the fold from the candy bar phone apart
I’ve been waiting for this review, thanks Ben.
I owned its predecessor, the Xiaomi Mix Fold3, for about half a year here in Germany before I sold it again.

That blue colour is just amazingly beautiful
As always, a very good review 👍👍👍
Also let us know your overall pick (more than camera) in the full review ;)
Can you do a deep dive into the Magic OS 8.0.1 software on the V3.
no one will ever appreciate enough the volume of editing it took to make this video, you are becoming a king of phone reviews
Thank you
Amazing unboxing and hand on camera test as always Ben bro
14 Ultra chinese version fixed the portrait not available on 5x lense. It is possible now after the newest software update
Great review. Love how you made some comparisons to the other two top foldables. Just ordered a Vivo X Fold 3 Pro (Global). Looking forward to it. Currently have a Z Fold 6.
Thr colours of the xiaomi seems awesome! Does a good job on balancing the colours between natural and punchy
Great reviews on folds especially. I wish they would have these in the UK.
Buy a chinese rom
They do now on most uk networks or honor uk
You guys have honor at least. In NA we have literally nothing. You mostly get to pick between Samsung and Apple, and recently oneplus open and pixel. But even oneplus only has like 4 phones on their site here.
Nah Ben, that cursed image of you as a little princess with a tiara might just become my new home screen image 😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you for your professional reviews on those phones. I would select between Honor Magic V3 and Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 for my next phone. Since I get older, I would like to have the fold phone with the bigger screen which can be easy on my eyes. Love your reviews and BRAVO!👍👍👍✌✌✌💯💯💯❤❤❤
Thanks a lot for this video! Looking forward to your full review!
so, in your opinion, which is the best foldable phone with will work in the 🇬🇧 UK.
first in business, good job ben keep it up
very good camera comparison ! i was thinking about selling my 100 Pro for the Ultra.. but not worth for me the almost 400€ here in EU..
one tip : next time when you put the comparison photos near each other, please take care of the order from left to right, don't change it up, cause sometimes it was confusing, Pro first, Ultra mid, Oppo last, then Oppo first Pro mid, Ultra last.. :P or whatever model should come, it's easier to follow
Thanks for this review. Did you experience any delays for notifications with the CN version?
Yes... I've got this issue now, trying to send it back to get honour v3 global if they have it yet.
Thanks Ben love your reviews - keep it up - I'm torn in buying a vivo fold or xiaomi- awaiting your camera shoot out 😮
I prefer Magic V3 which supports stylus on both screens 😊
What this😮
Awesome review. Very precise
Mr Ben honor Magic v3 or Vivo xfold 3 pro?? Which one you prefer?
Each has its own impressive technologies. I prefer honor magic v3.
did i miss the google setup section?
It's a great looking phone. I'm rocking the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro and I think it's pretty light weight but being 20 mg lighter is pretty impressive. But everyone also loves the pics the Vivo produces. Chinese cells are great!
xiaomi fold 4 vs honor magic v3? Which is better? And any official pricing?
I love your videos Ben, again another great one 👏
You're brillant and are a natural 😉 ✌️
I hold the Vivo X Fold 3 pro, the white one under Origin, for two months now. I am so happy seeing your review about it cause I believe there is no better foldable right now in terms of camera and battery also the 8.03" inner screen is so enjoyable as same as the 100 charging Watts.
I do wanna ask for a favor please cause I couldn't make the voice control for incoming calls work despite everything is set up correctly here. Have you tried with yours as well?
Couldn't find any answer about it even on different FB groups 😔
Would you mind to take a moment of your busy time and helping me out ? 😅 Sorry for asking, I got nowhere else to turn to no more 😅🙏
Keep the good work, and am awaiting your next video about that testing camera... I believe it won't reach Vivo's though 🤔😁
Cheers mate, and sorry again for asking your help 😉
Amazing reviews bro. Perfect pacing
Thanks Ben, it will be very interesting to listen ur full review of mix fold 4, compare it to the Honor V3 and Vivo's Fold x 3 pro, witch one of them better use aboard China and etc. So sad, than Xiaomi will not take mix fold 4 to global release. Also looking forward to your best foldable 2024 video =)
Great video Ben. All things considered (cameras, hardware, software, battery, etc), which latest gen foldable would you choose: Samsung, Vivo, Honor or Xiaomi?
Great video Ben! Thanks
Finally a video of the blue one!
Love to watch your videos and reviews. One question, Is the phone still unable to use Android Auto?
Keep up the good work 👍
Sorry android auto does not work
Hi Ben, I really enjoy watching your video's. I find them really insightful. I bought a Xiaomi Pad S6 Pro based on your video and I'm very happy with it. Now I'm looking to buy a foldable phone and debating on getting a VIVO X FOLD 3 PRO or a HONOR MAGIC V3 or Xiaomi Mix Fold 4. I'm leaning towards a VIVO, but the problem is, it is only available in Chinese version for a decent price. (Global version rare and 3 times the price). I'm okay with buying a Chinese version, but I'm a bit concerned with the banking apps and Google Pay will not work.

I'm watching from the one foldable phone you did a drop test on😅
Seriously though it's the OnePlus Open and I love this phone! I can't wait to see what OPPO/ OnePlus does with their next gen foldable. No one can touch them for their crease management.
Really love your review. Not too much tech savvy but for general use. 🎉
Hey Ben 👋🏻 how you doing .. good to see mi fold reviews so early - also waiting for Vivo v40 pro _ 😊 so happy to see you're channel reaching good audience. I'm not kinda active in youtube comment section..
Your reviews are really the best out there ben keep up the art!
Thank you!
do you know how many updates does xiaomi OS and security gets?
Great video Ben, would you say either honor v3 or xiaomi fold 4 has a better camera than my OnePlus open?
Great review. Personally, I'd rather have a thicker phone as in the Fold6 than such a huge camera bump. Ultimately, I'd prefer both to be thinner.
Great review, China clearly leading the way in mobile hardware the west sticking with boring designs.
Keep the great reviews coming Bro.
Excellent review of the Mix Fold 4.
This looks a lot like the Techno Phantom V Fold 2... Are they coming out of the same factory?
Thank you for the detailed review. I have been using Vivo's phone as my daily driver, but lately their Google Play Service is not working and the instant message notification of LINE is severely delayed, which I suspect may be due to the Great Wall of China. I have provided feedback to Vivo, but have not seen any service improvements. However, my other Xiaomi phone is working fine.

Ben you have not do a review on Vivo x Fold 3 pro yet. And why?
I like the design on the camera bump
What are the three dots on top of each app? Is there a way to remove/hide them?
Is the outer screen on the honor slighty wider? On video it looks like it is.
من افضل الاجهزة القابلة للطي لكن نتمنى ان يكون السعر في متناول اغلب الناس لان اغلب اسعار الاجهزة القابلة للطي لحد الان غالية
Hi Ben, do you sell your phones after review, I'm interested to buy vivo x100 pro
What's the widths of the V3 and Mix Fold 4 including camera? That camera hump looks huge on the 4
The video i was looking for
Bennie is in Bangkok? Would you recommend the barbershop you used? I tried 2 barbershops there and they don't cut as well as my barber in New York
I go to the barbershop inside this place called One For the Road on Sukhumvit 31. Just Google one for the road Sukhumvit 31
7:06 Vivo looks gorgeous 😍🎉❤
I love the design of this phone, but there is some real software issues and other reviews have highlighted some hardware issues with the hinge and fingerprint reader.
Which of the two has the best camera in your opinion? I have the OnePlus Open and I'm in doubt about which of the two will be my next phone.
on the Ultra 14 , you can use 5x periscope lens for portrait mode , 120mm
Love the curves edges
notification issue solved?
does mix fold 4 confirm no global launch? it look so promising so far... and already mid August and still no news... i wait mix foldable since last year and i already lose hope and may opt to honor v3 or coming oppo find N5.
Great work thanks you so much❤
where's the xiaomi mix flip review ?
is the xiaomi or honor software better?
6:13 If cabon fiber is stronger than aluminum and is lighter then cabon fiber is a excellent choice material is use. And I want to believe that cabon fiber material is cheaper than other materials.
Another great video Ben as always. I'm still not convinced a foldable is right for me even putting aside the huge premium over the flagship slab phone equivalent at least here in the US where options are much more limited.

11:36 - That is some messed up A.I, it went horribly wrong 😂😂
what's your best pick between Xaomi Fold 4, Honor Magic 3, Vivo Fold 3 Pro, and Samsung Fold 6 in terms of camera, battery, best software?
1) Is the screen of the V3 dimensionally as long as the Z Fold 6 to watch comfortably 16:9 vids 2) Is the cameras the V3 just better or better better than Z Fold 6 / Magic V2? I am asking because I can buy the Magic V2 for 1.150€ or the Z Fold 6 for 1.450€ brand-new (student discounts, discounts and cash-back included).😅
Chinese version hyperos biggest issue notification not showing properly, specially WhatsApp, facebook insta......please share to the xiaomi.....
I'll buy a foldable ones they are at the top of the best camera rankings.
The Chinese brands are putting Samsung to shame in terms of hardware design and camera abilities. It's a shame none of them are available from carriers in the UK
Do you know if a stylist can be used on Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 or Honor Magic V3
Yes for magic V3. No for Xiaomi
@@bensgadgetreviews Thanks, do you reccomend a pen best for the magic v3.
Maybe i should stick with my Vivo X Fold+ its too comfort until today, hopefully Vivo X Fold 4 will bring more feature and bigger battery more than 6000mah is recommended.
You can lift subjects.. Keep hold on the image
Great video, I ordered my xiaomi Mix fold 4 here in Canada
Will xiomi launch it globally?
i'm assuming there's a global version and a cn version
Anyone. I'm really thinking of buying a foldable but none of them are even in the top 10 in the DoXmark rankings. Love the quality of Xiaomi, Honor and Huawei cameras but are their foldables even as good in terms of cameras?
12:55 But Xiaomi uses offline Ai for the pictures, isn't it.
I think that this form factor is just dope. That camera quality though is just not good…usability is a bit iffy imo and it’s just a smarphone issue. The switching of lenses when zooming while in video mode is just ugh. Photos however look quite good. Other than that the device itself to me is brilliant!
So which foldable phone you like most? Vivo x fold 3 pro, magic v3 and xiaomi mix fold 4
I don't give a monkeys about how thin the phone is, every manufacturer seems obsessed with this atm. I just want a 1 inch sensor and a stylus built in at these prices
maybe just buy a dedicated mirrorless camera if you care about photography that much? I prefer THIN and pocketable foldables.
good review brother
does anyone know if this model supports esim?
The only thing is the screen on the 4 isn’t as bright as the 3. But there’s so much other stuff that’s improved on the 4 that it’s worth it…
bro really loves Lisa
The inside bezels are very thick though. Fold6 have thin bezels because it does have thinner bezels and the metal frame make it look thinner
That is because it is thinner, so likely, there are components around the edges, much like the Pixel Fold. Just a different design choice and preferable for me, as thinner is much more important than slightly larger bezels (aesthetics).
11:53 😂😂😂😂😂
Welcome to Thailand 🥰
Just a great workup on this phone. I SO want to import it (living in USA) but it won't work on Verizon... so I'd have to switch at AT&T or something. That's a lot of work just for a phone. 😂
So XF3 pro is still the best foldable especially in term of features and camera
9.4mm is without the camera bump....lol...the camera bump will not disappeared in your pocket..the hinges is not stable.... can't stand to hold position...try 120degree angle
LOL the jayson tatum pick cracked me up
Only 1080p front camera....the video stabilisation is very bad while running...
Hey, I don't want to say you are wrong with saying that you didn't hear any chinese foldable phone cracking or anything but there is also this thing of global marketing where samsung was the only one selling a foldable globally for a long time.

Man i wpuld order this over the gokd 6 if it was cobfirned to work on tmobile. Looks so good.
It works on tmobile in LA. I'm not sure about other parts
5g signal? Did u do esim or card? Everything? Sorry I. In the bay area so hopeful it would work as here as well.
