Mini iPhones still have small screens This thing has a bigger screen and all flagship features , mini iPhone screen is practically unusable if u used a normal screen because notch takes up screen space
@@shankarasrinivasan8881 as someone who uses a 12 mini still, the notch isnt a problem and the screen is more than usable. I am keeping it as long as possible, the form factor is so much better than larger phones. No phone screen is "unusable" especially as we all made well use out of 2" screens in the past.
What punishment? The title of the video implied there was going to be a catch but Linus was pretty positive all the way till the end and didn't seem to be disappointed in anything.
Not 100 percent sure but its the case with many Oppo's. They don't sell them in the US and Canada and even if you did import it, it won't work with many carriers. Long story short, the punishment is that if the phone is really good and he wants it, he won't be able to use it
One day we’ll have options that are super affordable AND great… Maybe in a couple more years. I hope Apple decides to jump into folding too, maybe make folding iPads… that’d be sweet
Personally a big screen foldable would work better with my daily workflow, but i do think making the outside screen the same aspect ratio as a normal phone is really smart.
Yeah but then you make a big screen on the outside like Samsung and Motorola who will even want to open the phone 🤣🤣 I guess Oppo has done a great job though ngl. 😐😐
I wonder how true to life the results of a constant back & forth test would be to real life usage, where there are often long gaps between when you open the phone...
@@zybchthey literally reshot an entire video on the LTT channel because some information wasn’t accurate, Linus likely stumbled on his words and said it wrong, from the mouth reading I gathered he said 34 instead of 44. It doesn’t warrant reshooting an entire video for 1 misspeak
This phone loos sick, but I just cannot comprehend why it still has a holepunch camera messing up the screen. It has an outside screen that allows you take take selfies perfectly fine and it doesn't have facial recognission. Maybe I'm weird for rarely taking selfies or video calling, but I would trade the slight inconvenience of using the smaller screen over having that ugly black dot on my screen at all times, any day of the week.
Inside camera is primarily for video calling, not selfies. Lot of professionals need to take video calls on the go so it's not something that can be done away with. The outside screen is too small for a group call. At most they can put in a smaller sensor which only does 720p above the screen or so since most video calls hardly ever transmit anything more than 720p.
I mean apparently the Oppo fold is the nearest to the perfect food yet made with amazingly high end chips, camaras, screen, etc and the size is supposedly the closest to the perfect size and weight, thickness etc and the big screen has the best optimisation yet.
Hey, question for you guys, would it be possible to simulate the phones speaker or any speaker that you are reviewing? I watched the other video at minus’s house where they simulated the 3-D sound. If you’re able to get the sound pattern of devices, couldn’t you replicate how they sound in the real world with headphones on?
1:06 Must be nice to be so rich you can buy a $1K phone anytime you want when you fuck up/have an accident and/or have work buy you one and write it off/make money on it as a video.
Unless the laws of universe changes, anything that bends repeatedly will cause failure. Having hinge is other point of failure. Never understood why we need a flip phone. Old phones made sense because they didn't have screen that bend.
I can almost definitely say that if OnePlus releases a flip to go with the Open, it will look just like this N3 Flip. The OP Open is basically a re-branded Oppo N3 Fold.
That mics, camera's and audio are worse on most laptops compared to even mid tier phones has never made sense to me. On the scale of someone like Dell we're talking cents or maybe a $ or two for the good stuff.
Could you use that fancy temperature controlled doohiky to see what is the "freezing" point of these folding screens? For those of us that live in colder climates i'm scared to use a fold during the winter periods when things may become a little more "stiff".
The price is good, only about $1000 USD in my country, but I paid that same price for a 1TB Galaxy Fold 4 after trading in a 2 year old (at that point) Note 20, so through that lens it's quite expensive
There will NEVER be a point where you can’t see any deformation of the crease in a detailed reflection. Even atomic level defects will alter the light. All that really matters is how it feels and how it looks with the screen on when you’re trying to watch content (particularly dark content)
Huh, did they mention any of the downsides of this phone? They also didn't explicitly say that the sponsors didn't influence LMG's opinion on the phone, as far as I can see. Did they just forget to say it, or are sponsors getting editorial control?
Great that they make claims about durability of the hinge - but how many times will you have to replace the screen to get anywhere near that hinge lifespan - is it 10 or 100 or maybe 1000 times?
Here is my take on foldables. I LOVE them. However, you do compromise on some things such as a good camera like the Samsung Galxy s24 Ultra or the iPhone pro max. That being said, there is a time and place for everything. I still have my Samsung galaxy z flip 3 for the gym or to fit in my small bags, but i also got the Samsung galaxy s24 ultra for the camera on good occasions. If you have the means, have one flip and a regular phone!
I really wish Oppo and the like would start making phones that run on CDMA networks like Verizon. It shouldn't be hard to find a midrange phone with an OLED screen, the current 5G standard, and an SD cardslot that was released within the last couple years. But nope, no such thing anymore for CDMA at least.
Even if this thing survives 600k openings - it is still a limited number and that is my problem with stuff like this. I couldn't use my phone without thinking "that's one more opening used up before it will break" - it's like when I fully switched to ssds, I can calculate all I want that it will last more than 10 years worst case, far longer than most hdds, it will still be on my mind. Not sure what the title is about though.
I think thats a you problem, 600k openings is like 328 openings per day in 5 years. I think thats pretty livable. If 600k holds true, then I'm pretty sure something else will break before that.
It doesn't means it will break after 600k openings - they just tested it for that many. It probably wil break earlier since people are not that gentle like robots. But most of the people keep phone for only 2 years, it's not a problem :D
still waiting for any actual evidence from Linus (labs, possibly?) that fast charging does anything bad to modern phone batteries. tired of his 10w charging bull5hit.
The charging is not 58 minutes!!! My battery was at 24% and it took me 1 hour to fully charge the phone. So if you do the math correctly, it takes 80 minutes to charge the phone to 100%.
if this is a punishment for ya, maybe you should consider changing a job.....taking someone's money to promote something while publicly claiming it to be a "punishement" is textbook shamless to me
Why? Just why? People do not want this, except the small percentage of the population that dreams back to the old Nokia flip phones of three decades ago. And to flip a phone open cannot be considered as "normal". Sorry
I don't understand why these phones still have the stupid hole-punch camera in the main screen when they now have an entire *additional* screen facing the main camera, I genuinely cannot think of a good reason why someone would choose to use it. It's even more egregiously offensive on the 'tablet' foldables because their outside screen is the size of a normal phone, and they STILL have a hole punch in the folding display.
i dont understand who would buy this phone (or any like it). the galaxy fold like linus used to have makes sense, its a fat but standard phone size which unfolds to more real estate. this is just a chunky brick that unfolds to the bare minimum size. its like all the downsides of a folding phone with none of the positives.
If i see mediatek in phone I'll avoid it. Shor term support is just the tip of mediatek iceberg. Just stick with higher cost lower performance snapdragon and get some years out of those phones.
Is it just me or does the UI of the phone look almost identical to iOS? I do know that iOS and Android "borrow" a lot of stuff from each other, but I for a moment thought this was just iOS.
