Did Xiaomi just make the best Foldable Phone yet? 

What do YOU think to the current state of Foldable phones? To check out that Tesla Electro Phone video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uPxkrGL0l7U.html

All phones are foldable, if you fold them hard enough.

Anyone else feel a spark of joy when Arun uploads

Well, finally someone who can compete with Samsung on this market. Competition is always good, hope Samsung will now realize they're not the only one and speed up the innovation in foldables

foldable phones will eventually be the grandma phone

Since it is Xiaomi's second fold phone and Samsung has released their 4th, it seems that Xiaomi is doing pretty well, considering that they did start 2 years late. If given enough time, both companies could make outstanding foldables.

1:44 umm 4th leg** 🌝🌝

How many people got the third leg joke

am i the only one who noticed the third leg joke 😏

4:57 "And then actually coming with the charger to do that with" Respect +100 for Xiaomi for not getting in on the no charger included scam.

Even though I'm not a Xiaomi fan this phone looks sick. The first foldable phone that seems like something I'd actually want. There's just one question remaining - how good it is in terms of reliability. There has been some major problems with Samsung's foldable screens already I wonder how did they manage solve cracking issues.

7:20 I thought the video was loading for a second 💀

Personally, for me this was one of, if not the best video you've ever made. You were so simple but always on point. The green environment helped a lot as a background, and the lighting was exceptionally good(plus, your puns were better this time)

I wanna see them attempt something like the Z-Flip because it's something I can imagine myself actually using compared to the fold And this already looks promising

I love how the thumbnail itself answers the title

goofy ah phones

I was just having a conversation with my brother about Samsung's and Xiaomi's foldable phones, this is insane timing! Very excited to watch, here we go.

8:15 subtitles💀

8:25 : "Samsung's is too thick for most people" Lol

This guy here does the most objective and informative reviews on tech RU-vid and that is why I like this channel. Everything seems natural and unforced and I never skip parts. No subjective bias, no aggressive marketing towards paid sponsorships and no controversy. Keep up the good work man 😁

I love watching reviews of phones that I could never afford

Can we just take a minute of Silence for those who are watching Tech Videos without buying anything

On the subject of display inefficiency: I wonder if, especially on a clamshell, a folding phone could use an e-ink display - not sufficient for full usage, but for a smaller screen that's pretending to be a smart watch 90% of the time, it might be able to do the trick.

I know this video is ancient by today's content upload schedule standards so Arun will likely never see this comment, but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the disclaimer at the end for us "looking at the foldable market from a distance and getting tempted" warning us that this probably isn't quite the time to jump in yet. Unbiased reviews make this the best tech channel on RU-vid right now. Big ups Arun!

2:03 that separation at Samsung is not because it is an old system, but it is anti-dust and dirt, if you close the phone, do not press what you have between the screens. I find the Samsung teapot much more practical.

1:37 rickroll spotted

3:14 There's a first time for everything/everyone. 😏

2:57 His aim........................................................ LOL

Samsung pioneered foldable phones then Xiaomi took it personally.

Super excited for this one! Btw, I loved your video on the Pixel 6 Pro and Z Flip 4. I'm now a proud owner of both of them, loving it!

6:33 is that a rotting chicken foot to the left

I completely disagree with you though about making the jump. I don't think I could ever go back to a regular phone. I'm sure you have done a bunch of testing but have you actually lived with a folding phone? People, nows the time, be a trend setter!

The z flip is just so aesthetically perfect, so i would choose it, but hopefully this competition will improve the performance.

3:13 bro really sat there again☠️ sus

With all the drawbacks/sacrifice xiaomi had to make for this phone, I do think it is by far the most practical foldable phone in the world. It’s thin enough so I can really use it like a normal phone most of the time, and use it like a tablet when I need to. Maybe it’s just me but I’m all in for the no puncture/notch full display on the inside. Video call with the main camera is pretty ok.

Bro I love those random jokes 😂😂 7:10

I didnt get a samsung fold until the 2 when i knew it would be much better and now I traded that in for the 4 I love the form factor and the new features. I look forward to seeing what the Z Fold 6 brings.

First half of the video: Insane Samsung Killer, 2nd half of the video: Keep your hands away from it. Lol 😉

Rare camera selfie with foldable is insane 🔥😈

The way he was just waving it around at 1:10 gave m e anxiety

4:11 stuff like that is completely unacceptable for a foldable device imo...

The flip is still my favorite, I think companies should focus on phones like the flip

I made the jump from 13 pro max to fold 4. Had a couple of weeks with it now I absolutely love it. Battery is a bit poor compared to my iPhone but I do use the fold a lot more then I did the iPhone

the most important feature of the xiaomi is it’s battery doesn’t explode.

6:53 HARMONIC sub earned.

Foldables aren't quite there for me yet, but always tempting. This is a good step forward to me, cannot stand the AR on the front screen of the Samsung and that alone makes it a total non-starter for me.

6:20 I love you Arun 🤣🍑

0:31 _THAT QUALITY THO OF THE VOICE_

I'll just say that you could've ADR'd your voice in that windy part of the video. The premium MrWhoseTheBoss experience is kinda lost there 6:15

3:47 your fyp kinda bruh

Foldables from Chinese companies like Xiaomi, vivo, and OPPO are really competitive and innovative, but all these won't matter if they don't launch globally. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I like my fold 4. And the fact then folded it has a narrow screen. About thickness - it does not bother me, and I can put in on a shelf or desk, and it stands by itself, good for me as I always have my phone silenced.

Aruns content has reached it own standards The years of hard-work has just made him hands down one of the best tech RU-vidr Globally.

Finally someone names current shortcomings of this form factor sincerely. I really cannot justify switching to the Fold from my S22 Ultra how ever I wish I could.

I absolutely love how you built it up all so high and mighty. Only to then bring it crashing back down to earth with the harsh realities of what makes acquiring a phone especially of that size and price point in 2022 where in my opinion personally the Cons outweigh the Pros however each to their own. What you've essentially done Arun is perform a Claude Littner on this video and I absolutely love it!

🤣🤣🤣 1800 Dollar for a non Waterproof Phone. Yeah thats Xiaomi. Not Smart enough to build Waterproof Phones. Sure the Phone looks way better than the Samsung but the Software lacks, lacks of Water Resistant and Xiaomi will overflow you with tons of AD´s in their Software. No Thanks, better stick with a real Phone

I am really surprised that Xiaomi made a fold phone really excited for it 👍

Huawei Mate XS2 has the best form factor on a foldable at the moment. Very user friendly and the case in the box makes it convenient to carry around without worrying about scratching the display. It has a dedicated selfie camera as well as rear cameras and a rear screen that can be used to take selfies/make video calls

Xiaomis weakness has always been software. They always had great cameras, build quality and specs. I wish they move on to a more purer version of Android or atleast launch a separate line of phones which don't run on MIUI, like they did with the android one program a few years back.

How people consider this guy a reviewer is simply beyond me. Speaks and acts as my cousin's 12 yo hyperactive son.

5:05 You really have become fitter!

I'm not a fan of folding phones because of the plastic screen, but they do look mighty interesting! It might be gimmicky, but I had a flip phone when those were all the rage, so something in my lizard brain is always drawn to them.

The concept of going through through the history of a product and seeing the evolution is so fun!!. I've been waiting this time to see the Xiaomi Fold. Arun has improved to another level. Kudos to Arun

7:43 thats what she said

Fold form factor is nice but I feel like there's a next gen answer that I can't really imagine yet. I'm hoping more competition pushes us toward that next generation faster

I mean both Huawei and xiaomi foldable looked fine off the box before as well. The issue that always came after a month or two was the durability of the phone because of the sacrifices they made to make it look like they beat samsung. Also that internal crease actually looks very clear and visible even on recording like this, which means it's prob worse irl.

4:22 you have to install or update android system web view on xiaomi to install or update chrome . That is something in all of their phones i think

Xioami hardcore fans over here😂😂

I finally got a foldable device, the fold 4 after thinking it has so many downsides. I heard again and again that golden up, it's too big to hold, and unfolded it's too wide to type. I feel like it's a phone made for my giant proportions and feels just right

Conclusion - Samsung is BETTER than Xiaomi ...🤣🤣😅

4:00 HELL YEAH PICTURE IN PICTURE DOOMSCROLLING

🤩💯👌👍👊WOW WOW WOW XIAOMI IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY 👌

Xiaomi is always late to the party but when they come the quality is always great, they wait to see if people are actually interested and then delivered a better version of it in terms of value.

4:27 OH SNAP NO GOOGLE. I'M SOLD I NEED THAT PHONE NOW. WE HATE GOOGLE IN HERE LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

Yeah the Xiaomi looks alot nicer. Theres a few aesthetic things i like better on the Samsung but fhe form factor being alot thinner, folding flat, and looking like a normal phone when folded. Now if Samsung did all these things they would have a perfect foldable device. Great video as always Arun! 👍🏻❤️

2:52 GENSHIN IMPACT

Bruh it's literally like a normal smartphone when folded that's insane how they managed to make it so thin, and the outer display aspect ratio isn't weird and narrow like on Samsung foldablez

0:47 It’s also great for emulating Personal Trainer: Cooking and using the case as a stand on the counter.

2:47 ok now try saying that 10 times fast

Wait till 2026. Xiaomi will release their Apple killer

7:56 ok, where is my cookie?

After using a foldable for over 2 years I can safely say I would NEVER go back to using a regular phone, they're so much better

I love the wider front screen, really makes it more usable, but the lack of a stylus defeats the purpose for me. It would be perfect for something like taking notes in class and studying on the go with that tablet sized screen and then a normal phone for everyday use. Even the cost makes sense when you factor in specs and having to buy a tablet instead. So close, yet so far...

This phone is of price of three of big TV to a living room… or a quite new car.

Xiaomi is really growing big and really improves major with every new device release. Big fan of Xiaomi.

2:02 samsung did this extra to prevent scratches from dust and dirt

6:25 you got a new shirt bro?

Why is the video so fast at switching screens. I'm too old for this zoom zoom

z Fold 4 is better than Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 Water proof Longer Battery Better Speaker Better Camera Better OS Update (Major update support for 4 years) better hinge(durability, Flex mode) S pen Support thinner bezel wireless charging inner screen camera Local support (repair, inquiry, etc.) Xiaomi is better than Z fold 4 Bigger screen, faster charging speed, thin thicknesst that's all. Some people say the Xiaomi mix fold 2 is cheaper than z fold 4, that's the domestic price in China. If Xiaomi sell to the global market, never be able to buy it at that price.

This looks like the future. I was convinced foldables were just a fad but this changed my mind. It obviously needs improvements but this is a great proof of concept.

I really think Chrome, Firefox, etc should have the full computer app available for phones. These folding phones would take full advantage of the extra features.

XIAOMI MIX FOLD 2 is (perhaps, for my concept of foldable!) the worst foldable ever. No "internal" camera. No stop at 90 degrees fold. These feature were essentials. On the other hand it fortunately has a good camera set. But for example Vivo X Fold do it better everything.

I'll upgrade my Z Fold3 to a Xiaomi Fold in a few generations, probably. But I want it officially supported globally.

1:16 I think you got those screen ratios backwards my guy.

1:05 Using your old outro music as background music. Smart.

I love my zfold3. I have a friend who just got the 4 and we were both surprised to see that the screen is smaller on his phone, but a very similar feeling between the 2. Still not impressed with the cameras on either phone, that is just about the only thing I dislike about them.

The Huawei Mate X series has the perfect form factor in my option but the screen is not durable enough.

Amazing, I like the idea of foldable smartphones. they are so easy to store and give you so much screen space. Normal phones don't have that. It is a pleasure to see that samsung is not the only one creating good foldable smartphones. It really brings back that original blackberry flipphone aesthetic that no one really gets anymore these day's. I also hope that Apple would make a foldable iphone. It would truly be a sight to see. I also realise that smart glasses might be the future and that foldable smartphones won't be needed. What are other peoples opinions? reply below ⬇

I've bought 2 Xiaomi phones in the past year, both of which I had to send back. They are good looking phones with a very customisable user interface full of features yet it's the very thing that lets the phones down. MIUI is glitchy and unreliable. I had an 11t which would randomly go into a stop/start charging frenzy whilst charging, woke me up in the middle of the night because of the charging confirmation sound it was making. The camera wasn't very good, night mode was non existent and video quality was grainy and stuttery when panning. Apps crashed here and there. Sound wasn't consistent as I kept having to switch the Dolby Atmos toggle off and on to get the volume back to normal level. Then I got the Xiaomi 12, which was a gorgeous little phone with a promising spec. The camera was good being the Sony IMX766 sensor. Video was good but let down slightly by over saturation of skin tones. Panning was great and daylight photos were decent with good detail and colour. Night mode was grainy compared to a Google pixel 6 where the latter excells. Coming to sound which is tuned by Harmon Kardon is good. There is decent volume which doesn't sound tinny with a nice amount of bass. The phone does get very loud once you set the equaliser to custom and dial everything up. All that said and done however there are a couple of downsides. This phone is also let down by the user interface. It's quick but again glitchy. Video playback on RU-vid and Instagram stuttered here and there and at one point the sound went out of sync on a Mrwhosetheboss's phone review, which was odd as I thought it was the video but it didn't happen when I replayed the same clip. Apps crashed a few times. The phone also heated up way too much even when not in use. Xiaomi needs to fix MIUI and if it does then I won't hesitate to buy another phone.

Recently bought a zfold 4, I absolutely love it! The angle on the hinge let's you put a cover that protects both inside and out... overall I'm really happy with the purchase
