Please include the software in your review when you had time to test it further. The hardware seems great, but software matters just as much to me. Thank you Ben, I always appreciate your unbiased videos. Does it wiggle when you put it open on the table? How many system updates does Vivo provide for this device?
there's a reviewer called Lim Review has same amount of subs, and he sucks big time choosing aesthetic over information. Ben's should have 1mil subs by giving us so much more.
I always enjoy your videos, Ben. Always so thorough and honest, just the right length. Plus your voice and accent is really music to my ears, could listen to you all day
I've been waiting for your video on this phone. The 1st English speaking hands on review for XF3P. Thank you so much for your efforts!!! Please stress on the zooming on this camera. I'm upgrading from a x fold +
Hi ben. I'm from India. I watch your videos whenever u post. My 1st video was 3 Features I Love About OriginOS 3 on Vivo X90 Pro Plus.... I hope u'll read comments since u do most of the time. Cuz of the vivo content & I'm a fan of origin OS. I switched from my IQOO Z5 to the Chinese variant of the Vivo X100pro on December before the official release. The phone is a solid 10 to me since I'm coming from a mid range category. So i spend almost 4 - 5 hours customizing the phone and found out some things. the most i like is the functional widgets and animated wallpapers with weather effects , time of the day etc.. The app colour icon which matches the wallpaper doesn't work with the global apps or apps installed from play store, F- droid etc. The Chinese apps have full support and control over the colour of the apps icons that match with selected colour scheme / wallpaper colour, The next thing the Icons are dual tone only. a colour mixed with white. there is no way u can have only single colour for the app in the colour selecting area (Mood Cube). Only when you change the Window style to Mono and set the icon colour to adaptive u get the expected icon color that is not satisfying much. Then the google support is limited. As many know android auto wont work. The nearby share / quick share also wont work. I still have a doubt that the google wearables will work. Please ben I'm requesting you to make a video on how it feels to use Origin OS outside China. From the setup and comparing with other android skins. Hongkong is beautiful!.
Thanks Ben! This one appears to be a well packed beast no doubt. Vivo... what a story! From midrange average to top notch foldables with highest specs to date! Good review as usual, no silly assumptions and to the point.
Great review looking forward to a full review and comparisons with the other foldables. Foldables are on top of my wish list for my next phone but just to expensove right know I hope for a good used phone market in 2-3 years or a good paying job by then.
3:16 The 3x zooming is a bonus when you add it to the benefit of the folding capability. 3:16 A phone that unfold to give you a tablet form for productivity and a 3x zooming lens to snap precious photos without being near to the target object. The telephoto lens is clearly a bonus. 4:10 The camera clarity and capturing stability is superb and is essential for photography. 4:31 Now this is a triple bonus to possess a fingerprint biometric for both the cover screen and the internal display. All these extra bonuses evoke premium feelings and a premium price. 4:36 The subtle appearance of the crease in the internal display is bearable. It appears that you have to search to find the crease in the display. 6:53 A 5700 mAh battery is the icing on the cake, this is a quadruple bonus considering the fact that it is a light phone close to the size of the Magic V2. And the Magic V2 have a satisfying size and thickness.
The case looks well designed! Theres a lot of thin and light cases that simply snaps on the body but ignore the hinge. Other cases that do look more like otter cases.
Thanks a lot Ben. I prefer that you can test the pro version. It has ip68 and not ip4/5 . Homologation was made for Malaysia and some say that it is sold in India now. Can we have french langage or english ? Thank you to test a lot against honor and huawei S5 and else. Have a good day :)
Looks so amazing just they really screwed up on only 3x zoom. Could have been fold of the year otherwise. Now we have to look toward the mix fold 4! Definitely looking forward to the full review on this one though!
Looks awesome. Fantastic hardware and software, and in my opinion the first foldable that dethrones last year´s Huawei's mate x5 as the best foldable at the moment, and its also considerably cheaper. Well done. Can´t wait to see what Huawei comes up with this year, especially if they do release the rumored triple foldable device.
Hi, when are you coming with a full review on this phone? Planning to exchange my vivo x100 ultra for one of these and I'm a little bit unsure due to lack of good info like you give 👍
Stunning video and photos. That vintage looks is gorgeous especially in Asia. I've seen your photos from Japan and Hong Kong and they look amazing. I see think the lights, small food places, red lanterns etc, in general more use of colour and quantness, take suits that filter.. It would also do well in Europe with the older parts with narrow streets and smallish shops. But the US and UK cities are not pretty at all so might not be as nice.
How does pro mode works tho, jpeg+raw? Resolution of jpeg, raws for pro mode? Hi res mode vs standard? I would say those are major differences that it offers compared to oppo and oneplus, may we know about them some day...
I ordered last week when it was being released, hopefully it will be here soon. Btw, did originos fixes the notifications problems for some apps like WhatsApp? Thanks Ben
Nice review as always. This really grow on me but I am wondering if the notification still delayed or keep opening to get a notification? Coz now I'm still using Vivo X Note but it a little tickle me with this 😢
I couldn't resist the battery size charging speed and the ip X8 water resistance on a top end Chinese foldable I ordered from trinity electronics as you mentioned them in other videos they clearly have got stuff in stock early, I'm looking forward to your review hopefully before it gets here I hope this wasn't too hasty there's hardly much more else that u boxing vids besides this. I have a mix fold 3 and the software situation to use my wear os watch had me unlock and install a custom paid rom and the earpiece volume levels are practically unusable since I got the phone it's the biggest hindrance as well as the lack of ip rating.
Does Vivo update the older fold phones software with the updates they have for this model? Price is not bad but the software support needs to be there as well
Hello @bensgadgetreviews - thanks for the great review, also with the Google stuff - is it possible to get Android Auto runnable? Does the Google backup (apps, settings..) to GDrive work? Thanks in advance
It would be great if you could do a notification test on google and western apps like gmail, whatsapp, viber, messenger... Some Chinese roms dont even show notifications at all
It's IP X8 love seeing this on a Chinese flagship finally vivo sad to see a 2-tier release with hicked prices though :)/ I thought fold was sinonimous with ultra with existing price points it's a signal others will be following suit that is a verry appealing battery size and weight I wonder how the cameras would compare to my mix fold 3 I'm very tempted I had to install a custom rom to make my experience bearable on my phone but there's bugger all accessories for it yet.
Hey Ben how is it going man? I hope all is good. Question: leaving the price behind what would choose, Honor Porsche design V2 or Vivo 3 Pro? In a full comparison of all their capabilities. Tks man
top notch hardware? how about the software?? how about optimization? how about hinge..? they made hinge so tiny to get rid of wight but is it durable? how about crease ? I heard water drop hinge makes crease not deep but quite wider and sometime even get wrinkled in the long run...
Waiting for the full review, material used for hardware, and build quality, cameras, and software, and also, can you please tell us what kind of any importers in like the UK or Europe would face. Thanks
Hi ben, awesome review as always! I want to ask one question about OriginOS as I want to buy the next x100 ultra when it comes. Question is, are notifications reliable? Do you get Whatsapp and Gmail notifications on time with the chinese rom?
You have to take some precautions like turn off battery optimization and give the app autoataet permission. After that it worked fine for me when I used the vivo x90 pro plus with originOS for months
Thanks for another wonderful hands on on an amazing foldable phone. It makes me want to threw my zfold 5 out of the windows now. Want to see your full review Ben! 👍
hi ben! @bensgadgetreviews i believe you wrote about macbook interconnection of x fold 3 pro. will it be the same with the nonpro? and how about oneplus open running on oxygenos, will it have that possibility, too? or the oppo find n3? thanks! hopefully you'll have time answering this, since you have the most extensive foldable reviews.
I noticed the camira of vivo x100 pro only gives details and good pictures of nature and animals and does not give details of people, especially the face. This is a problem with the Vivo camera. I hope the issue will be fixed with an update.
I really wonder how Funtouch OS will handle this phone when it comes to global, Funtouch OS is completely different to the Origin OS that CN Vivo phones use

One of the best phone reviewers on UA-cam..Should have at least over a million subscribers..
there's a reviewer called Lim Review has same amount of subs, and he sucks big time choosing aesthetic over information. Ben's should have 1mil subs by giving us so much more.
You one of those types
So true! After watching lots of reviewers, Ben is just fantastic. A true nature of honesty and passionate way to show us the way 💯 👍 👏

Straight to the point vivo need to release this phone global
Finally a review on X Fold 3 Pro which i can understand... Cant wait for in depth review 😊
I love your channel Ben! Looks like a really competitive foldable device. Waiting patiently for the in-depth review!!

As a vivo fold owner. You had me on youtube in horizantal😂😂

I have the pro model I think I made mistake on the IP rating sorry
Is it launching in India?
Clear and Crisp review 🎉.. Happy to see the new Phone.. looking like a good prospect..
I am surprise Vivo did not send you a review unit.
Thank you for this review ! Do you know how many android updates are planned for this phone ?
So impressing. If fold6 dont get improved they are taken by vivo 😮
Hey look Ben just uploaded!! Let's hit that LIKE button 😎✅👍👍
Looks so amazing just they really screwed up on only 3x zoom. Could have been fold of the year otherwise. Now we have to look toward the mix fold 4!

I think this is the best foldable phone you could buy in 2024.. i hope if they launch it in Saudi Arabia :(

Really wanna buy one but scared to lose the warranty via import especially with a foldable
Great review Ben. 👍, can you please let me know how good are the speakers? Are they better than the galaxy fold speakers?
The vintage filter
I ordered last week when it was being released, hopefully it will be here soon. Btw, did originos fixes the notifications problems for some apps like WhatsApp? Thanks Ben
Yes it works for me
They gave it a lot more international bands than the X100 so hopefully that's a sign the X100 Pro+ will have an international version this time.
Nice review as always. This really grow on me but I am wondering if the notification still delayed or keep opening to get a notification? Coz now I'm still using Vivo X Note but it a little tickle me with this 😢

would there be a global ROM for this ? great hands-on review
Thank you covering all the Chinese tech releases as well coz most of the other youtubers don't really do that
Can you use the Chinese version in the US, what would be the limitations?
Great review Ben.
what about the notification is it missing or delay ..?
How's the camera compared to Oppo Find N3?
I’ve been waiting for the Samsung fold 6, I might be changing my mind
Does Vivo update the older fold phones software with the updates they have for this model? Price is not bad but the software support needs to be there as well
Awesome piece of kit! Went savin' :)
I'm about to buy samsung fold but after your review on vivo and oppo, I probably take vivo
thanks for your info .
When is this coming to Europe? Expected price?
Hello @bensgadgetreviews - thanks for the great review, also with the Google stuff - is it possible to get Android Auto runnable? Does the Google backup (apps, settings..) to GDrive work? Thanks in advance
Waiting for your detailed review . Before I buy one. .
Does it work on Canada's networks? This looks awesome. In Canada we always have least amount of choices when it comes to buying a smartphone.
Does the china rom still have issues with notifications? The aggressive power management and various work arounds made it a chore with the x fold 1.
For me vivo it's the best foldable phone ever ..but the most issue that there is no global version .. Hopefully, the 3 would have
Camera looks good. Fantastic review.
thank you
Best review like alway sir
Thank you
Hi, does it have in the build in wallet the option to add access cards?
It would be great if you could do a notification test on google and western apps like gmail, whatsapp, viber, messenger... Some Chinese roms dont even show notifications at all
Ben, is there any issues with GPS reception overseas with Vivo Chinese rom?
IPX8 actually :)
I wonder how Origin OS optimizes for foldable usage. Does it offer anything like Oppo "Canvas Shift" experience?
whats your take on photo quality between this and x100 pro please?
Why you are sure theres no chance of global release?
Does the front camera support 4K? Please answer. I use it for live broadcasting. Is it useful for intense games? Please answer two questions.
I also have a question: Does it support communication with satellites? Please answer all questions
Questions @bensgadgetreviews : 1. Is the fingerprintscanner more comfortable than other foldables on the side? 2. battery life?
Спасибо бро за обзор🎉
Can you drag and drop files to WhatsApp or it's not supported?
how's this compared to honor magic v2?
I heard no ok, google voice command on imported SKUs ( OriginOS doesn't support )?
Yeah no ok Google command
It's IP X8 love seeing this on a Chinese flagship finally vivo sad to see a 2-tier release with hicked prices though :)/ I thought fold was sinonimous with ultra with existing price points it's a signal others will be following suit that is a verry appealing battery size and weight I wonder how the cameras would compare to my mix fold 3 I'm very tempted I had to install a custom rom to make my experience bearable on my phone but there's bugger all accessories for it yet.
Hey Ben how is it going man? I hope all is good. Question: leaving the price behind what would choose, Honor Porsche design V2 or Vivo 3 Pro?
In a full comparison of all their capabilities.
Tks man
I'd pick vivo x fold 3 pro for the superior cameras.
@@bensgadgetreviews thank you

Are the cameras better than the ones on OnePlus Open? 🤔
Vivo will release it in Indonesia in June/July.. Hopefully With Global ROM
Is Android Auto working on Chinese version ?
Am I wrong ? From the sample photos shared here , I feel the OnePlus Open camera feels slightly better.
nice looking phone ben cheers from serbia

I really wonder how Funtouch OS will handle this phone when it comes to global, Funtouch OS is completely different to the Origin OS that CN Vivo phones use
That camera 😮
Any compatibility issues with notifications not showing up in real time and issues with other google apps like the past?
So far no
Does have this phone 4K 60 Fps?
Have you got android auto to work with Origin OS?
No, it's only working on FunTouch OS (global edition)
Bro when you compare the honor magic v2 waiting for it ❤❤❤
Can you confirm if Google pay works?
need a comparison with v2
Is it true that vivo x fold 3 pro does not support video out via its usb-c port?
Nearly no phone is supporting that unfortunately 😢
Please do review for non pro version
Is there dolby atmos available?
Will it be getting any major OS updates?
3 OS upgrades (until Android 17) and 5 years Security Updates.
I'm suprised Samsung didnt think of the inscreen fingerprint sensor on both displays on the z folds.
Samsung is a joke in Mainland China, very little ppl uses it.
@@mr2cqql Yeah. It's the same for Vivo in the west. I thought Samsung was doing well out west.
Trinity phone in HK prices are super high same phone in sham shoi po you can get more cheaper
Just ordered mine in the white colour. Ditched my z fold 5
