maybe throw an older foldable, like the OnePlus Open, also into the mix to see if there's been general generational improvements, or just to see how well those still hold up.
@@Techtablets excellent, I'm watching every single video from your reviews, here from Melbourne, you are very detailed and professional which makes our life easier, because of your reviews I bought Vivo X 100 Pro, and I love it I also got the monster Realme GT5 150w for work, bro China within 5 years will be The top Tech no 1 in the world, we have to accept that they are hitting Apple and Samsung very hard with price. Best regards Aref
@@Techtabletshaving the z fold 5, and tested the z fold 6 of my father, I can't understand why you would not say that vivo is the best. The folds have a shitty battery time, charging time, photos (compared to others), form factor (can't understand why the fucks the s pen isn't IN the fold!!), performances, etc... 7 years of update is useless, there is no foldable that will last that long, and we all know that. It's already difficult to keep a fold a year without having any problem Stylus support is useless, as it's not integrated into the fold Videos is really debatable, because appart from 8k support, I don't think that the zf6 is better (only with ois when compared to xiaomi and honor, but not the vivo). So what advantage does Samsung have? The only thing I can see is customer support...
@Cestpasfaux-v4x The Fold actually have the best battery life of all foldable, even if the battery it's smaller. I have both folds, u are probably an hater.
Good video, typing this on my X fold 3 pro. Maybe wait for the first big first update on mix fold 4 before doing the camera comparaison. But I don't know if the view will not drop if you wait 1 months for comparaison
Another great video the details you cover are always appreciated. That said Im dying to see a detailed camera comparison especially at higher zoom levels between the Honor V3, x fold 3 pro and the mix fold 3. No point adding the fold 6 since it will absolutely lose that battle lol. I have a fold 6 but want another foldable with a full sized outer screen and really strong zoom shots. The pixel fold 2 may also be a contender there as well
Okay so far not so much interest in a comparison. The Xiaomi seems to have the best zoom camera so far second the X fold 3 Pro but I’ll see what the Honor Magic V3 can do when I get it.
I got a Fold 5 about 4 months ago. At that time, and even now, I was looking at other options. Oh boy, those Chinese foldables are amazing, but they all have a camera bump that's like a mountain. I'd prefer not to have any camera at all rather than having such a big camera bump.
Is the smart wind filter always on with external mics (like USB-C wireless ones). Thats a bug that Xiaomi was not able to fix since last year on the Xiaomi 14 series. I reported that many times to Xiaomi sadly nothing got fixed.
Vivo X Fold 3 Pro are the clear winner. Samsung only wins because of the OS. 6 to 7 years of update support are just marketing technique which are basically useless. You're not gonna be using the Fold 6 for more than 4 years lets be real here. Also even if there no more updates, you can still use your phone perfectly fine. So 7-15 years of support are just rubbish and just a marketing strategy making you think buying the phone are worth it. Also the crease are disgusting on the Fold 6, like Bruh Samsung, you're on the 6th generation of the Fold and it still felt like they still stuck in the year 2015 with that hardware design. Chinese foldables are way ahead than Samsung.
Thr reason i got the fold over the mix fold is due to hyper os. Used it on a higher end phone and it was just bad. Tried a custom rom and it made the phone feel so much better. I got sixk of needing a custom rom to mske it feel good thst j just got the samsung fold
Great video as always, keep it up... and yes, i hope there is a photo and video comparison among the latest 4 foldable: Vivo X Fold 3 Pro Samsung Fold 6 Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 Honor Magic V3 My expectable for X Fold 3 photo and video is far better but the fact is Not i think.
Yeah honestly very few people are keeping their phones longer than 3 years. And my mum is using my old Huawei P20 Pro which obvs hasn't had an update in years and it still works really well. 7 years is overkill in my opinion.
I get 7 years typically as my offices go through family members. Saves me loads. I’d be ok with 5 years for phones under £1000. Above that price I want at least the money that I get from a laptop that’s half the price.
And thats how fanboy will said "we have 7 years update, see your chinese crap they only give you 3-4 years", i will trust brand that said 3-4 years rather than 7 years LIES of marketing.
I was so indecisive when it came to choose between z fold 6 and vivo fold 3 pro. But I am going with z fold 6 for various of reasons such as built quality and softwere. The samsung hinge is more rigid then Vivo. It was hard at first to pick between battery + camera vs softwere + hardwere (screen). Fyi Samsung is not get slimmer because they want to make sure that the screen is strong enough and last lasting then the other competitors. For camera, I can just buy iPhone becuase this foldable phone doesn't intended for taking beautiful pictures.
The sticky no is here in Germany but also some with the Galaxy Z Fold5 and the current Z Fold6. In the German-language Android Hilfe forum it is talked about. I myself have this "problem" with my Fold5. It is assumed that higher temperatures in the weather could be to blame and the films "stick together" and you can feel and listen the resistance and the peeling off when you open it. Doesn't seem to happen to everyone, but more often. I think that sounds like a general fold problem and not Samsung specific case. For example, I no longer used the original film but Whitestone.
Do you think vivo xf3p photos are a bit artificial looking? Heard this comment from 2 photographers independently but don't want to just parrot it but still a little surprised.
Yes. With skin tones and the Portraits has that retouched look to it I don't like. But zoom and lowlight, day stills the XF3Pro is so much better than the others. It has also changed and improved over the last two updates from the first which was quite bad at that fake look.
Great Review! Thanks Quick question if I want to buy a foldable for the first time could u advise me between the oneplus open vs fold 6 vs Honor magic v3? I have a s22 ultra
I really hope that is true! As much as I love my Z Fold 6, I find the cameras for taking photos of my kids so poor. Bad shutter lag, grainy and terrible in anything but perfect bight light. Indoors they are bad so I use my X Fold 3 Pro instead with it's soso software no way near as good as OneUI. But we do really need that Z fold Ultra or Slim.
I would love if you included the Honor Magic V3 in this comparison, as all of the ones in this video and the Honor are my actualy purchase options. Great vid still :)
Thank you for your hard work! Unfortunately the phone is not just a hardware. The software is equally important and so far, looking at the foldables, no one can beat up Samsung, especially now when they offer 7 years of Android and security updates. And i used to have a Chinese phone. It was great, great hardware, great camera on fantastic price... and limited version of Android and no Play Store. No, thanks! I will never be back to Chinese phones and every time when I look at a phone, I look also at the software.
The Mi Fold isn't doing it for me. That back camera layout is so obnoxious and not very appealing at all. Props on the "regular" shape of the front screen, but the Z Fold's tall and thin dimension is perfect for scrolling, which is what people will do with it.
The outer screen size is subjective. When you state both foldables are better, because the display is bigger than the zfold, well that's your opinion. It's really irritating when every single reviewer says that. There is still alot of folks that prefer a slimmer, easier to hold phone.
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?
In what ways is funtouch / origin OS slower than OneUI? You mention that it's a lot less smooth, but unfortunately it can't be captured through the video.
Everyone is saying bigger is better but i actually love the smaller form factor of the z fold. Ive had the note 20 and 22 ultra for years and was always jealous of the form facter of smaller phones and the z fold checks all these marks. When im in clinic and just need a quick glance i find myself using the front screen no problem most of the time. When im on break i can bust it open for videos. I really hope they dont get bigger.
Ikr. This is the reason why I traded in S23U and go for ZF6 (which is my first foldable). I love the smaller cover screen, and a little less taller than S23U make it much easier to hold and keep inside the pocket.
This is what I keep telling people. These tech tubers keep pushing to have a normal size screen up front when the purpose of having a foldable is to have a smaller form factor when closed and then get the bigger screen when open. The outside screen is great for checking all my messages, answering phone calls, checking your notifications, etc. People who complain they can't text with the front screen just don't know how to spell and don't use swipe to text. Lol! I've had my Fold 5 for almost a year now now (Sept 2023) and it's been running great and I use it for business everyday (it replaced my laptop).
@pkpnyt4711 its still thick brick in the hand. No point of a narrow screen if the phone is still thick. That means it uses more hand surface area to hold. U may as well have the bigger screen on a thinner width phone
@@kunalamratlal4566 If you have super small hands, it's thick. It's fine with one handed use for me (most reviewers I've seen said the same thing, they could reach where you needed to reach with the width of the phone). I can reach all the corners of the screen. Your logic is flawed, having a wider front screen means it will be wider, thicker and harder to handle.
@@pkpnyt4711 I mean, having a regular sized outer screen still serves the purpose of having a smaller screen than unfolds into a bigger tablet inner screen. It's only Samsung that continues to adopt a more compact form factor compared to the rest. I don't think Samsung's approach is wrong, as it's mostly a personal preference whether you'd like a smaller or regular sized outer screen. From the ZF1, they've continued to approach their Z Fold from the perspective of the inner screen being the main screen, and the outer screen as a subsidiary screen. But from the perspective of a 2-in-1 phone that unfolds into a bigger tablet, the Z Fold's outer screen size is irregular compared to today's phones, which most people are not used to, and I guess why a lot of tech tubers are against.
Yes this makes absolute sense. Samsung have never ever done market research right? They don't even know Xiaomi, one of the biggest companies in China exists....
@@Techtablets Samsung basically withdrew from the Chinese phone market (the world's largest) around the time of the anti-Korean protests in 2019ish. But they were already bleeding market share as their phones were behind and more expensive than XM, Oppo, Huawei, etc. and also not specialized enough for the Chinese market. Ironically as a foreign company they had to lock down the phones completetly so was basically impossible to get google to work on them, while quite easy on XM. Seeing a Samsung in the mainland now is like seeing a Nokia in Europe (i.e., very unusual). Of course Samsung's aware of what the CN manufacturers are doing but I think they focus on the US where they have most of the non-iphone market and then battle it out against CN manufacturers in the rest of the world. I expect them to steadily lose market share around the world (outside US) to XM, Oppo, VIvo, etc. They're still the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer but are losing market share and at least some % of what they sell are "dumbphones" to poorer countries so not sure if they're the world's largest Smartphone manufacturer.
I will be switching to android from apple and honestly picking the right foldable seems really hard as there are significant compromises to be made with any of the phones chosen due to processor speed, water resistance, cellular bands, etc. ugh, what to do?
If you're in America, don't get a Chinese foldable phone. Either Samsung or Google is your best option. Chinese foldable phones have zero warranty support, zero repair support, and zero resell/trade-in value.
Samsung just needs to do better job on reducing the thickness and improve the camera quality, then will be worth buying. I used several foldable, Oppo/ Xiaomi/ Honor/ Samsung, Xiaomi and Honor maybe do better on hardware part, software still needs some improvements (especially for Xiaomi).
Note: Fold 4 not being able to use Google messaging is a huge pain. No group messaging... can't schedule future messages... can't attach more than one image into a message... are just a few things that are making me switch away from the 4... Maybe back to the 3Global... Or the GoogleFold2(or whatever they want to call it)....
11:34 I understand Samsung's better at some niche features and only Oppo/Oneplus seem to be close but still man, i don't think it's that much of a pull for Samsung. Apart from the S pen there's nothing great about the Fold6. The software features are cool in theory but on that tiny 7.6" screen what's the point? Until we get 10 inches or larger, these multitasking features are just gimmicks. Only Oppo's triple app thing seems useful to me where you run two apps at the same time along with a third one you can switch to at any time. That's intuitive and useful. Samsung's just eh in software now as well. Other manufacturers need to double down on a stylus now. We NEED styluses now to further justify the price otherwise even the base X Fold3 is great now. Styluses need to get to the level of at least the Note10 and better yet the Note20 Ultra on these foldables and hopefully we get them inside the phones. That way we get endgame phones for the most part.
The Oppo has the best software after Samsung. Yes agreed on the stylus the lack of Stylus for the X Fold 3 Pro and Mix Fold 4 is unacceptable. At least the Open has it and Magic V2/V3.
Hey guys any one who are an expert in phones who can advise me What is the best among these phones? Xiaomi mix fold 4 & Vevo X Fold3 Pro & Honor magic v3 & Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold & Samsung zfold 6 & OnePlus open Apex Edition
I covered the Mix here is it's good but some flaws. XFold 3 Pro is my pick a close send is the Open/N3 Fold. I can't speak about the Pixel 9 Pro Fold as I don't have it or plan to buy it. Google will not send me a review unit and I'm not wasting my money on it.
I have an X fold 2, its snappy and practical. the UI is not good, but its really fast and the battery life is super awesome. the battery life is better than my old S22 ultra and the current Xiaomi 14U. I guess its better than the S24U as well. All of that and i still get notifications fine! i do not know what are they doing exactly beating everybody else.
Just imagine saying your note 4 as if that wasn’t 6 to 7 years ago when they finally implemented 7 years is updates with the s24 ultra lol. Try again dude
@@DeckoBoy993-4 years is already good enough, if can go more than 5 year is awesome! Such my Oppo F3 but i only use for secondary phone, because nowadays app is quite heavy for old phone. And you know if you said this, they will go other reason "we got AI" 😂 ,even my Vivo got AI now, last 2 years Vivo never called it as AI in setting but because of samsung AI now Vivo rename it to AI 😓
I think Xiaomi tries to after what others don't, but is not the right one. That slimness is too much, but the drawbacks that little thing present are overlooked. I would stay with Xiaomi candybars.
DJI ignore me, I asked about the ebike and I've been reviewing them for years but they prefer to send the bikes to channels that have never owned or reviewed an ebike before. Makes sense! 😅😅
I’m using the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro and I had previously the Samsung Z Fold 3 and Fold 4 for a year and no issues I think as long as you look after them they will be fine.
I'd probably say their International software version is lagging behind, their Chinese software tends to be generations ahead of the international versions (and is also integrated into the Chinese software infrastructure) but that doesn't help much if you don't live in China.
Benchmark tests don't mean nowt .. Xiaomi phones always crash when testing them ..even the new Xiaomi flip can't finish some tests through overheating.. Samsung may not be the best score but with the better optimization and UI works way better
@@Techtablets It's always been a problem with Chinese roms mate ..I used to always buy imported Chinese phones I got sick of them overheating and so many bugs ..Yeah Samsung are proper boring like Apple but their phones work ..My S24 ultra is a brilliant all rounder but a tad safe and boring
Yes and it's why I'm getting tired of Xiaomi always the same issues the Mix Fold 2/3 exactly the same issues. They jsut pump out phones and forget about the software. I agree the S24 Ultra is a great phone but a little boring yes but works so well. Amazingly clear screen.
Pls do some online collab videos with indian tech youtuber techno ruhez...it will be good for both of you and your channel growth...indian people go crazy when some foreign tech guy collaborate with indian yotuber trust me.... I think both of you should do a video or podcast on increasing prices of the smartphones or fasle marketing by tech companies in different part of the world...love from india❤ ..i hope you read my comment🤕 😢
The Chinese phones may be better. However, the problem for us in the US is what if you crack the screen on the Chinese folds or break it, what then? There is no sales or tade in with Vivo, Xiaomi, Honor with exception of OP. Plus you have to buy those folds from a third party vendor and pay the full price +. At least I got wonderful deal with Samsung Z Fold 6 and paid a little over 500 for 512 gb with the trade in and have insurance. I have the One Plus Open too and cracked the screen. OP didn't offer insurance but warranty when I purchased the phone. However, the cracked screen was not covered under the warranty. So, it will cost over 500.00 plus to fix the screen and they want me to ship the phone, clear the data, plus keep it for 9 days or so. Samsung may not be the best in the pack. However, when it comes down to customer service and offering insurance when you the buy the phone allowed me to get a replacement, and they sent the replacement phone to me first so I could transfer everything over prior to sending the broken one back. With the one plus open, i will have to back up my apps and data. People need to consider this when buying folds outside of Samsung and Google. Samsung needs to step there game up because the Chinese folds are looking good plus my OP Open is a good phone. Thanks for your videos.
honestly the Vivo's half fold the hinge for split screen is such a baller feature it makjes me want to use split screen more often than i do
It works well!
@@Techtablets do you have a video about this feature?
It's in my XFold 3 Pro video.
These Chinese Foldables honestly make the Z Fold 6 look like it's already 2 generations old
They do yes.
Looks aren't everything
It is fo me. Had it with Samsung foldable s. @@EthanCarey-l4c
They don't get enough updates though
i would still rather use a samsung os
I can say this, Samsung needs to work on their foldable for more on the features and something new
They sure do the only egde is they have the best software, DEX and video quality. Hardware wise they are falling behind big time.
Working on the size and the hardware is more than enough tbh
Imagine one UI with this hardware
Same crap design since fold 1...... Blocky brick
maybe throw an older foldable, like the OnePlus Open, also into the mix to see if there's been general generational improvements, or just to see how well those still hold up.
I would if I had it sir. Thanks for the comment.
Finally someone did the comparison, thanks bro
Yes and wait soon for the HONOR Magic V3 Vs Z Fold 6 and maybe the X Fold 3 Pro.

None are as good as flagship slab phones the closest is the Z Fold 6 for video and XFold 3 for stills.
But they are like flagship phone cameras from 2-3 years ago which is sad.
@@Techtablets ugh. 😭 I really want it but if that's the case. It's not worth the money.
Thanks Chris. I appreciate all your videos. Big love, kindest regards, Richard U.K
Thank you Richard always appreciate it!
@@Techtablets Absolute pleasure !
In what ways is funtouch / origin OS slower than OneUI? You mention that it's a lot less smooth, but unfortunately it can't be captured through the video.
How do you think think the new Honor magic v3 compares to these ?
Outstanding review! Subscribed.
Welcome aboard!
Everyone is saying bigger is better but i actually love the smaller form factor of the z fold. Ive had the note 20 and 22 ultra for years and was always jealous of the form facter of smaller phones and the z fold checks all these marks. When im in clinic and just need a quick glance i find myself using the front screen no problem most of the time. When im on break i can bust it open for videos. I really hope they dont get bigger.
Ikr. This is the reason why I traded in S23U and go for ZF6 (which is my first foldable). I love the smaller cover screen, and a little less taller than S23U make it much easier to hold and keep inside the pocket.
This is what I keep telling people. These tech tubers keep pushing to have a normal size screen up front when the purpose of having a foldable is to have a smaller form factor when closed and then get the bigger screen when open. The outside screen is great for checking all my messages, answering phone calls, checking your notifications, etc. People who complain they can't text with the front screen just don't know how to spell and don't use swipe to text. Lol! I've had my Fold 5 for almost a year now now (Sept 2023) and it's been running great and I use it for business everyday (it replaced my laptop).
@pkpnyt4711 its still thick brick in the hand. No point of a narrow screen if the phone is still thick. That means it uses more hand surface area to hold. U may as well have the bigger screen on a thinner width phone
@@kunalamratlal4566 If you have super small hands, it's thick. It's fine with one handed use for me (most reviewers I've seen said the same thing, they could reach where you needed to reach with the width of the phone). I can reach all the corners of the screen. Your logic is flawed, having a wider front screen means it will be wider, thicker and harder to handle.
@@pkpnyt4711 I mean, having a regular sized outer screen still serves the purpose of having a smaller screen than unfolds into a bigger tablet inner screen. It's only Samsung that continues to adopt a more compact form factor compared to the rest. I don't think Samsung's approach is wrong, as it's mostly a personal preference whether you'd like a smaller or regular sized outer screen.
From the ZF1, they've continued to approach their Z Fold from the perspective of the inner screen being the main screen, and the outer screen as a subsidiary screen. But from the perspective of a 2-in-1 phone that unfolds into a bigger tablet, the Z Fold's outer screen size is irregular compared to today's phones, which most people are not used to, and I guess why a lot of tech tubers are against.
What do you think about the oneplus open?
Love it one of the best foldables can't wait for the One 2
I don't think samsung even have an idea these Chinese foldable exist
Seems not! 😂
Yes this makes absolute sense. Samsung have never ever done market research right? They don't even know Xiaomi, one of the biggest companies in China exists....
@@Techtablets Samsung basically withdrew from the Chinese phone market (the world's largest) around the time of the anti-Korean protests in 2019ish. But they were already bleeding market share as their phones were behind and more expensive than XM, Oppo, Huawei, etc. and also not specialized enough for the Chinese market. Ironically as a foreign company they had to lock down the phones completetly so was basically impossible to get google to work on them, while quite easy on XM. Seeing a Samsung in the mainland now is like seeing a Nokia in Europe (i.e., very unusual). Of course Samsung's aware of what the CN manufacturers are doing but I think they focus on the US where they have most of the non-iphone market and then battle it out against CN manufacturers in the rest of the world. I expect them to steadily lose market share around the world (outside US) to XM, Oppo, VIvo, etc. They're still the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer but are losing market share and at least some % of what they sell are "dumbphones" to poorer countries so not sure if they're the world's largest Smartphone manufacturer.
Can you please do night photography comparison between the 3?thanks
If there is enough interest yes.
I will be switching to android from apple and honestly picking the right foldable seems really hard as there are significant compromises to be made with any of the phones chosen due to processor speed, water resistance, cellular bands, etc. ugh, what to do?
If you're in America, don't get a Chinese foldable phone. Either Samsung or Google is your best option. Chinese foldable phones have zero warranty support, zero repair support, and zero resell/trade-in value.
@@King_504 right now oneplus open is my top choice but I’m a bit worried about the lack of ipx resistance.
Samsung just needs to do better job on reducing the thickness and improve the camera quality, then will be worth buying.
I used several foldable, Oppo/ Xiaomi/ Honor/ Samsung, Xiaomi and Honor maybe do better on hardware part, software still needs some improvements (especially for Xiaomi).
Sadly it's always he software lets down the amazing hardware with the Chinese foldables.
@@Techtabletscorrectly said
Note: Fold 4 not being able to use Google messaging is a huge pain. No group messaging... can't schedule future messages... can't attach more than one image into a message... are just a few things that are making me switch away from the 4... Maybe back to the 3Global... Or the GoogleFold2(or whatever they want to call it)....
does it support esim?
Very unique comparison ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
27:50 yes camerpa comparison between these 3
Thank you for the video. Besides the actual content I also learnt that the Xativa Castle exists👍💙. I will visit it soon.
You're welcome 😊

I understand Samsung's better at some niche features and only Oppo/Oneplus seem to be close but still man, i don't think it's that much of a pull for Samsung. Apart from the S pen there's nothing great about the Fold6. The software features are cool in theory but on that tiny 7.6" screen what's the point? Until we get 10 inches or larger, these multitasking features are just gimmicks.
Only Oppo's triple app thing seems useful to me where you run two apps at the same time along with a third one you can switch to at any time. That's intuitive and useful. Samsung's just eh in software now as well.
Other manufacturers need to double down on a stylus now. We NEED styluses now to further justify the price otherwise even the base X Fold3 is great now. Styluses need to get to the level of at least the Note10 and better yet the Note20 Ultra on these foldables and hopefully we get them inside the phones. That way we get endgame phones for the most part.
The Oppo has the best software after Samsung. Yes agreed on the stylus the lack of Stylus for the X Fold 3 Pro and Mix Fold 4 is unacceptable. At least the Open has it and Magic V2/V3.
I would instead 😂😂 go for s23
Brand new now at 500$
For me all 3 fold are good. Cant go wrong going with anyone. But extreme expensive
That’s a good deal.
Hey guys any one who are an expert in phones who can advise me What is the best among these phones?
Xiaomi mix fold 4
&
Vevo X Fold3 Pro
&
Honor magic v3
&
Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold
&
Samsung zfold 6
&
OnePlus open Apex Edition
I covered the Mix here is it's good but some flaws. XFold 3 Pro is my pick a close send is the Open/N3 Fold. I can't speak about the Pixel 9 Pro Fold as I don't have it or plan to buy it. Google will not send me a review unit and I'm not wasting my money on it.
I have an X fold 2, its snappy and practical. the UI is not good, but its really fast and the battery life is super awesome. the battery life is better than my old S22 ultra and the current Xiaomi 14U. I guess its better than the S24U as well. All of that and i still get notifications fine! i do not know what are they doing exactly beating everybody else.
Saem wit hthe X Fold 3, awesome battery the UI is very meh not amazing.
Imagine if xiaomi made a poco (poco foldable) variant 🧐, the beauty would be out of stock very very quickly
If priced right it would yes!
I didn't know which foldable is better
Good review and the wind noise on the Xiaomi was very poor. Sound test was won by the Z fold 6 as Xiaomi sounded like an empty pepsi cola tin 😮
so vivo has a purple/pink screen
Man you get punished by the algorithm for making such great content. Comment for engagement!
Tell me about it. But it is what it is, people aren't really interested at least some comment like you! Thanks a mil!
Lol, people thinking they can use their samsung for 7 years, my note 4 was unusable after around 3-4 years
This is true my Fold 2 also got the white line of death in the crease.
ikr, they keep talking about 7 years of updates while their phones probably can live up to 2 years 😂
Just imagine saying your note 4 as if that wasn’t 6 to 7 years ago when they finally implemented 7 years is updates with the s24 ultra lol. Try again dude
@@DeckoBoy993-4 years is already good enough, if can go more than 5 year is awesome! Such my Oppo F3 but i only use for secondary phone, because nowadays app is quite heavy for old phone.
And you know if you said this, they will go other reason "we got AI" 😂 ,even my Vivo got AI now, last 2 years Vivo never called it as AI in setting but because of samsung AI now Vivo rename it to AI 😓
Great comparison. It's either z fold 6 or vivo pro 3 for me. Z fold software is the best
Yes I agree
which is better
1- Pixel 9 Pro Fold
2- Oneplus
3- Honor Magic V3
That being said, the Fold 6 is the best choice. 😊
Eh why isn't the Honor Magic v3 here it smashes the Xaomi and Samsung. Would like to see it go up again the Vivo 👍
Don’t have one but soon
The Z Fold 6 should have been on "performance mode" for the benchmarking.
I think Xiaomi tries to after what others don't, but is not the right one. That slimness is too much, but the drawbacks that little thing present are overlooked. I would stay with Xiaomi candybars.
Are you testing the new xiaomi ebike?. Its coming to europe right?
Hi, which one is that? Not sure I'll buy it.
@@Techtablets sorry... I meant dji, 😅
DJI ignore me, I asked about the ebike and I've been reviewing them for years but they prefer to send the bikes to channels that have never owned or reviewed an ebike before. Makes sense! 😅😅
Do you use any foldable as primary phone long term for personal life? Do you think these phones can last multiple years of daily use?
I’m using the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro and I had previously the Samsung Z Fold 3 and Fold 4 for a year and no issues I think as long as you look after them they will be fine.
What are your thoughts on MagicOS?
Not amazing it's okay you get use to it but I find OneUI and OxygenOS/ColorOS much better.
comparison cameras 👌
Okay the first to ask for it so far no interest!
Yes pls
Always here for foldables!
What about the battery
Compare vivo x fold 3 pro and ss zfold 6 speakers, which one is better?
It’s in my xfold 3 Pro Vs Z Fold 6 comparison and the Z Fold 6 speakers are so much better ua-cam.com/video/ySQm8yErFyg/v-deo.htmlsi=Y6o4ulwzfkTZ_O2e
much sacrifice made for that slim profile. I guess, xiaomi targeting females in Asia who wants flagship phones but not Apple
Make a battery life comparison between those 3 phones
I want battery test as well between vivo , xaiomi and honor , forget about Samsung is rubbish and everybody knows. Thanks great video
How’s Vivo’s crease compared to Oneplus open?
Slightly worse the Open has maybe the best crease there is for now. Maybe the Magic V3 is better
I'd probably say their International software version is lagging behind, their Chinese software tends to be generations ahead of the international versions (and is also integrated into the Chinese software infrastructure) but that doesn't help much if you don't live in China.
Benchmark tests don't mean nowt .. Xiaomi phones always crash when testing them ..even the new Xiaomi flip can't finish some tests through overheating.. Samsung may not be the best score but with the better optimization and UI works way better
But you wait soon a firmware from Xiaomi will throttle them to below SD8Gen2 performance and it will work. Poor thermals and poor cooling.
@@Techtablets It's always been a problem with Chinese roms mate ..I used to always buy imported Chinese phones I got sick of them overheating and so many bugs ..Yeah Samsung are proper boring like Apple but their phones work ..My S24 ultra is a brilliant all rounder but a tad safe and boring
Yes and it's why I'm getting tired of Xiaomi always the same issues the Mix Fold 2/3 exactly the same issues. They jsut pump out phones and forget about the software. I agree the S24 Ultra is a great phone but a little boring yes but works so well. Amazingly clear screen.
@@Techtablets True story mate ..Updates ain't reliable either ..The last Xiaomi I had the updates actually made the phone worse
Pls do some online collab videos with indian tech youtuber techno ruhez...it will be good for both of you and your channel growth...indian people go crazy when some foreign tech guy collaborate with indian yotuber trust me....
I think both of you should do a video or podcast on increasing prices of the smartphones or fasle marketing by tech companies in different part of the world...love from india❤ ..i hope you read my comment🤕 😢
Thanks for the idea!
They're going to have to push the camera bump to the edge and move the charging port to make them thinner.
Here in Australia, we don't get anything. Anyone want a flagship phone, there is apple and samsung, no more. So depressing here.
Yeah same as NZ, but we did have Oppo. Rumored to be coming back next year to Aust and NZ plus globally.
The Chinese phones may be better. However, the problem for us in the US is what if you crack the screen on the Chinese folds or break it, what then? There is no sales or tade in with Vivo, Xiaomi, Honor with exception of OP. Plus you have to buy those folds from a third party vendor and pay the full price +. At least I got wonderful deal with Samsung Z Fold 6 and paid a little over 500 for 512 gb with the trade in and have insurance. I have the One Plus Open too and cracked the screen. OP didn't offer insurance but warranty when I purchased the phone. However, the cracked screen was not covered under the warranty. So, it will cost over 500.00 plus to fix the screen and they want me to ship the phone, clear the data, plus keep it for 9 days or so. Samsung may not be the best in the pack. However, when it comes down to customer service and offering insurance when you the buy the phone allowed me to get a replacement, and they sent the replacement phone to me first so I could transfer everything over prior to sending the broken one back. With the one plus open, i will have to back up my apps and data. People need to consider this when buying folds outside of Samsung and Google. Samsung needs to step there game up because the Chinese folds are looking good plus my OP Open is a good phone. Thanks for your videos.
Where is honor magic v3?
I’ll have the global one next month
Vivo .... Just a simple comment
Same mistake as previous one, the front facing camera at the wrong side
Royole FlexPai was first with a foldable, not Samsung 😎
True but who made that screen 😜
@@Techtablets Haha, true, but the concept though. The Flexpai also sucked so easy to forget 😁
Camera comparison
The 25W charger is for battery safety i think... Its slower than others but makes the battery better in long term use....
