@@Techtabletsi tested both puone just take my point having less cover screen make it easy to use from single hand camera is better in vivo but i think screen of samsung is better and i believe samsung having side fingerprint is better as folding phone have a lot of issue with display and this a product quality mantainance they are doing
@@elmhurstenglish5938 bro thats typing but we do use it ofter still the vivo x3 pro hinge is shitty it cannot open in all angle and the main point is service for a flip phone and only samsung has the best service and for oneplus open it is best but we wont be able to see his succesor as it was a concept phone and open 2 will come late
Kia ora mate! I'm a Samsung fan, and I proudly owned Z fold 3, 4, and 5 the time it was released. I love foldables. Unfortunately, every time, my excitement grew a huge frustration due to its candy like folded design and poor battery life. Back then, there weren't many alternatives when it came down to foldables. But this time, I didn't make the same mistake again. I bought the mighty Vivo X fold 3 pro. Mate, i tell you it's a beast! When you hold X fold 3 pro as folded in your palm, it's a joy and feels like a proper phone with no sacrifice! Don't get me wrong, I use an S24 ultra as my primary phone and daily driver, which I love most. Unfortunately, Samsung foldables aren't growing much nowadays. Other brands are listening to their customers and went ahead of Samsung. If you're thinking of getting a foldable, Vivo X fold 3 pro could be your first choice!
I found your channel yesterday... and Man you are a phenomenal tech content creater. Very nice close shots by which we can see everything crisp and clear. Also honest opinions helping us a lot. Kudos to the generous, intellegent and honest tech youtuber. Love from India 💐💐
One of the best reviewers without being boring. Nothing rude and crude (like some...), sees through the hype and calls out shortcomings. TBH There's tonnes of reviewers out there but TT is imo the most unbiast, honest and trusted out there. I've found him to get excited without being a shill. This channel is often my deciding factor. Lastly always great scenery ;) and pics.
I used to love using the S-pen in my old Note 8, but Samsung dropped the ball by not making the S-pen dockable into the Fold 6's body. No way I am carrying the pen separately in my pocket. There goes what should have been a major advantage for the Samsung :(
I really thought it might be in the phone itself this time but no. They want us to buy the case to store the pen. It has to be like the S24 in the phone.
@@kylecrain8922nah, they couldn't even double the size battery let alone at least push to 5000mah like the s24U, the fact that its 600 less is insane for a big screen...
TBH the fold 6 looks more elegant IMO. I also love the fact it's a bit smaller. The Vivo looks like it'll take up too much space in a pocket. Also love the simpler look of the camera. But oh well, it's all a matter of taste. My only main complaint of the fold 6 is the battery and charge time. They really should have improved that...
i have the vivo,not as you think...very thin and very carryable....very very good in hand... the sistem is very nice too....and the charging and battery are just so nice
I have no problem with the narrow and shorter front screen of fold 6, Because it is very handy to use with one hand and easy for pocket space, it's perfect for checking normal things and instant replying and if you want big screen then just unfold it... I dont know why people are willing to make all folds phones simillar to bar phones.
You know you can have a bigger front screen on a thinner lighter phone. There's no point it being thin screen but the device is still thick. Honor magic v3 has my pick this time
I don't know why people are willing to accept that manufactures that are in the folding game for less time are making phones with much better battery, much thinner and better camera hardwarethan Samsung yet Samusng charge you more.
@@bustercolin7507 Y'all really can't accept that not everybody wants that big ass front screen. We need to have variety for everyone to have the options they want. No companies just making clones of each other's shit.
FYI: The 4 used a capacitive reader and could be used for gestures like pulling down the notification shade. The 5 and 6 switched to ultrasonic and lost that ability.
In the end, I need my foldable phone to be solid and reliable. Samsung delivers with a solid build, easy one hand use, mature software and guaranteed updates. Can't say the same for the competition.
Vivo has more battery, better thermals. And better camera. I don't see your point. And honor magic v3 has also a stylus by the way. So I don't see Samsung having anything other than the Dex that others don't, ok and the stabilization
@@stel1000 I'm sorry - apparently I wasn't clear when I said Samsung ticks the boxes for MY needs from a foldable phone. If you value another foldable, great for you.
I agree that's why i purchased the fold 6 as my first foldable, while it may be inferior on numbers, i trust Samsung's build quality, and longevity over vivo and oneplus.
If Vivo had Samsung's software on the x fold I would buy it in a heartbeat. Viso's hardware anc camera processing and samsung's software would be unbeatable
I was interested in the Vivo but the lack of stylus pushed me back to Samsung. Also for stylus users - my stylus form the Fold 4 works perfectly with the Fold 6. I appreciate Samsung for that.
@@fatphoca5009you clearly haven't follow the Z Fold brand. There's an official Fold 5 case for it where you can snap on the stylus. The Fold 5 introduced a thinner streamline stylus that doesn't add bulk. It snaps on the front of the case and lays almost flat. There's going to be the same style case for the Fold 6
@@fatphoca5009what do you mean you can't? 😂 Of course you can. The new stylus is thinner and it snaps on a pocket slot of the case with almost zero bulk

Been a Samsung User since 2010 Had the S (1,2,4,8), had the Note (3,6,10,20) and took a chance during 2020 and got Fold 2 Been upgrading every year Even with all the cons, I don't think I'll ever switch back to a slab phone. Fold 3 had the best aspect ratio when opened. Up until now I had to carry another phone (S21U with a cracked screen) on my vacations just to be able to film 4k60fps with the ultrawide camera (and 10xzoom was great) When I have to use someone else's phone (S22/23/24 Ultra) it feels so weird and the screen feels to wide. No way for me to use it with one hand. That's why I love the Fold - the narrow screen for the one-handed use (I know there is a one-hand mode on the S as well) But when I unfold it, the screen Real estate is amazing - maps, shopping, reading news, yt and comments at the same time, etc. Don't care about the battery and charging speed since I never had an issue with it. The only thing Fold 6 should've done is be as tall as the Fold 3. Because I don't want <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="61">1:1</a> square when opened but a <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="243">4:3</a> rectangle. Thanks for reading, cheers
Comparing the dimensions online, Fold 6 has a 1mm wider chassis when closed compared to Fold 3. The wider cover hasn't affected the size that much thanks to thinner bezels, so there's that to look forward to when upgrading at some point.
Funny enough, it's why I stuck with the Fold line despite the drawbacks. I actually prefer the narrow display for daily use. The on handed usability has spoiled me to where I have a hard time using my partner's phone.
A lot of people don't seem to understand how the narrow screen of the Z Fold series, truly makes you feel like you have two different devices for two different situations. A narrow one-handed outer display for quick tasks and scrolling, and then the bigger inner display for content consumption and multi-tasking. The foldables with the wider outer displays like Pixel Fold and OnePlus Open, you're less likely to want to open them and use the inner display, because of the width of the outer display.
@@Super-c00n the wide folded phones or tall narrow are very uncomfortable in my pocket. I was tired of the S2x lineup because of that: I had to take them out to sit comfortably! Now with the iPhone 15 Pro Max I have zero issues. It's funny because there isn't an appreciable dimensions difference but yes in my pocket... I also appreciate the more square screens (iPhone, iPad, surface pro) instead the extra wide/tall aspect ratios.
You have to be smoking Crack with that take. Samsung loves customers like you. It's the main reason why they haven't been updating their foldables. They know you're going to support them regardless of their lack of innovation 🤷
Do you happen to know how hardware support is for the Vivo overseas? My only worry is if something goes wrong, I'm SOL as opposed to the Fold that I can take to the nearby Samsung store.
I did pre order Magic V3 after doing a bit of research. Z Fold6 is a bit disappointment on the price when you buy case, charger, pen, where Magic V3 comes with screen protector, case, and charger. Main focus is camera, battery, and a good software. Magic V3 has Chinese ROM, that means No Android auto and Wear OS watch connectivity. Fold6 is still a good bet. Any suggestions? I still have option to cancel pre order and buy Fold6 instead? What's your pick? I am well aware of that you haven't tried Honor Magic V3 yet.
Bro if slimness of fold doesn't matter much for you my advice is you should go for vivo x fold 3 pro...here you'll get excellent camera performance eith Zeiss collaboration ❤ And biggest battery...with biggest display ever.... And 2 ultrasonic fingerprint sensors.. furthermore its also not much bulky and thick like samsung ... And brightest display in a foldable.... Vivo has nailed it...
@@mantapdjiwa9768 I'm also planning to buy vivo x fold 3 pro....but brother can you plz tell me in which countries its globally launched ??? I only know china... India and Indonesia.... Isn't it launched in any European country or Uk ??
@@mantapdjiwa9768 X Fold3 Pro is better in a few things, in terms of design, I like Magic V3. These phone are quite expensive, still unsure If I have made a right choice. Also, Magic V3 comes with Chinese ROM, and not many camera review, so it is a risky bet for me.
I don't agree that Vivo has better screens especially in the sun at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="649">10:49</a> and <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="681">11:21</a>, and Vivo's white just turns into gray
Maybe it's on camera it's not quite how I saw them in person and the Samsung dulls before the Vivo but both do this in the sun. The Vivo outer screen was clearly duller than the Z Fold 6.
You wonderful bastard! I love seeing your videos on foldables ❤ I already purchased the Fold 6 and it wasn’t an easy choice but it felt like a safer experience than what I might get with Vivo software and support and accessories
Well you made the right choice by the sounds of it. The software is still the best on the Z Fold series compared to all the other foldables. It's the key area where Samsung holds their ground and hopefully continue to do so. But they must bring their hardware up to the rest as they are slipping.
@@Techtablets The software isn't even that far behind, like outside of screen customisation and AI there's little in the way Samsung leads. People would rather settle for less because it's "safer". They know that and so they give us an iterative update with a price increase. Insane..
I think the X Fold is too big. I prefer the smaller profile of the Z6. Vivo's video looked too saturated when you switched to the Ultra Wide. The images results were better on the Vivo.
@@GeZ-DM of course it will . What benefits you as a consumer get when it will be sold more ? None . I also own a fold 5 just pretty pissed on Samsung .
I just bought you a "Thanks"... Thank you for your content. I have the Zfold5 and the 6 just came out and its basically no wider so i was thinking of switching to the One+ or Vivo and stumbled across your review/channel. Based on your review, i just ordered the Vivo-fold. One thing I'm concerned about is how hot it will get. I don't do any gaming and maybe multitask a bit... but im worried ot will still get hot with normal use. Anyways, thank you again and I'll check out your channel to Subscribe. 👍
just moved on to fold 6 from fold 4 and im literally in love. The design is so sleek and it just feels so lighter than older models. Make sure you get warranty when getting these phones
It makes me angry that Samsung is trying to copying Apple. They give less with that premium price tag. They did same with their laptop... Hopefully in the future they will drop their pride and listen to the customers one day...

@@joshuaglodek2047 bro I've done research the vivo screen is more anti-glare and crease also almost un-noticeable in Vivo...

Thank you so much for your wonderful and informative content. Quick question, does Vivo X Fold 3 Pro packs any AI features? Like image erase, and etc. Anything worth mentioning please do. 👍
OriginOS Chinese version does have this and a gallery that has AI features the Funtouch OS is lacking most of it sadly. Software is miles better on the Z Fold 6.
I was considering buying either Z Fold 6, OnePlus Open or the Vivo for my first foldable. This video helped make up my mind, so thanks. Careful... you're becoming one of my favorite tech reviewers. Just subscribed!
@@gwalt1985 china phone??? I'm more concerned about you and your family's personal information than the quality of the product. Be careful about safety.
Dont suppose you could do a follow-up video on the hinges of all your fold type phones so far. Would be nice to compare the hinges/screen after a year or 2 just to see who’s lasted better.
It wouldn't really prove anything anyway because you would have to have used each one of them as your daily driver for the past 2 years and that's obviously impossible
@Techtablets sadly, I don't think the inner screen will last that long. On Facebook marketplace, ebay and local sales the foldables have always a fully or partial broken screen.
Interesting art you going to keep that X100 Ultra as you’ll miss those cameras. As good as the X fold 3 Pro cameras are they fall short of the X100 Ultra.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="460">7:40</a> the side mounted fingerprint scanner on the Fold 5/6 are actually ultrasonic now too, that's why they lost the swipe gesture for notification tray. My Z Fold 2 fingerprint scanner was terrible but my Z Fold 4 fingerprint scanner was pretty good. So I'm kinda worried about the Z Fold 6 fingerprint scanner
As a Samsung fan, the Fold 6 is a huge disappointment. I like the new angular design, but compared to the Vivo, it’s thicker, has a smaller battery, no in-screen fingerprint sensor, lower benchmark scores, and slower charging.
*Few Questions if we switch from One UI to FunTouch:* 1) Any App like GoodLock on Vivo 2) Can we just Lock the Front Screen to Potrait, like we can with GoodLock & keep Inside Screen to Auto (Bixby Routines) 3) Can we choose any App to open up, when we connect to Bluetooth Headphones, - Routines in GoodLock 4) Will Excel Sheets work just like on Samsung, Read Edit for Free 5) Any issues opening Apps in Full Screen 6) Will we able to do a FREE Full Cloud Back like in Samsung ☆ 7) Can we download Themes & just Icons of Themes ? 8) Will we be able to change Back,Home,Multiple Icons like in - NavStar in GoodLock 9) Will we able change Task Changer in SlimList, like we can with - HomeUp in GoodLock 10) OneHand Operation & Routines features anything similar on Vivo - GoodLock 11) Do we have option of continue App on Front Screen 12) Can we Stack Widgets like in Samsung 13) Does it have a full phone Cloud Backup for FREE, like Samsung ❓️ Is it also just for 30 days or more ? ▪︎ Waiting to see a Video on Vivo 50w Wireless Charging vs Wire charging of Galaxy S24 Ultra / Fold 5, that would be interesting ▪︎ Would like to see the Screen in Sunlight, comparing to other Folds ▪︎ Need to see Battery Drain Test vs other Phones
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="465">7:45</a> Damn that was bad 😅 Is it really that bad? I just can't believe that it only worked once out of like 20 attempts. That's shocking
I never had issues until I hit record I decided to keep that in as it seemed it glitched out on me. My thumb must have been fine as the X Fold 3 Pro didn’t have issues. I put it down to some random glitch with the reader.
Vivo & SAMSUNG: UwU Chris: “….I can get too deep into this ….blimey, the blowers overexposed” Duplication Machine: “🌚…. _but how did you know_ ” Me: “ _*chucks_ ….I have a stylus problem.”
Awesome video, only sad thing about the X Fold 3 is that is sometimes has quite the heavy battery optimization settings on standard. So alot of apps dont send you notifications unless you change it in the settings. Also you mentioned you could force 120 hz on the fold 3? I think this has been buggy for me since sometimes (like scrolling youtube) it goes to 60hz even though ive set it to 120 :(, unless im doing that one wrong.
You can force it but some apps still do 60hz yes. And as for the battery optimisation you need to make sure it's exempt of that disable it for key apps and you're fine.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="425">7:05</a> can anyone of my brothers reply why the vivo x fold 3 pro screen looks blueish colored while its off; as compared to that of z fold 6 ???
Everybody wants "X brand's" features on a Samsung. They'll rave about how X brand is better. But ultimately, they'll still buy Samsung. Build quality is just different, and having a knock off version of android / play store is just whack. Been fooled once on buying a "superior" version of brand X... and sure, it's really superior, for like, maybe 1 year, but then after, it's probably broken / slow. Learned my lesson, and will *ALWAYS* spend more for a negligibly inferior device, if it meant that I could still use it 8+ years after I bought it.
Great job! I have a serious Love/Hate relationship with these type of videos. I love to see the competing foldable tech. It's an exciting space and I love watching the sector grow and improve. I HATE that I can't get most of these Z Fold competitors in the US! 😛 At least not in the 1TB size that I need, or at competitive cost (I got my Z Fold 6 for $838 dollars with my Fold 4 trade-in, and Government discounts).
Huawei is going to launch a triple-fold mobile phone this year Imagine that in a few years, the three-fold mobile phone can do the feel of the iPhone Get a larger screen, of course, the interaction of the mobile phone may be about to be caught up by VR Technology is a very happy thing 华为要在今年推出三折叠手机了 想象一下几年后三折手机可以做到iphone的手感 获得更大的屏幕,当然手机这种交互说不准快要被vr赶上了 科技是很幸福的事情
Recently ungraded from a Fold 4 to a smaller Flip 6 and I'm honestly shocked at how good it is. The camera is just fantastic. It oversharpens a bit too much, but you can tone that down in the camera settings (thanks Samsung!). It's a flagship camera with a flagship Snapdragon SOC in a very small package. This Flip is the first time that a Flip actually feels like a proper flagship. I'm loving it. The Fold is massively disappointing but the Flip is actually impressive!
For me it was a no brainer. I get $1200 trade in for my Fold 5 and with the addiitional $100 pre registration discount, the Fold 6 is $599 pre tax. If I didn't get these discounts I would go with Vivo.
@aznmode1 I can get a Vivo for the same price here. But the fact that Samsung has pretty bad after-sales service makes me think twice. My S22 suddenly got a pink line too without me dropping it.
@@ericcoksen4857lol if you think Samsung has bad after sale value or service wait till you get a chinese one 😅, if you want a phone to hold value or the best service just get an iphone...
I've been using Chinese phones almost all my life and had a chance to change my phone to a Samsung foldable phone. I'm going to say this is the best phone experience yet. No lagging, simple and fast, with a pretty unique looking style.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="267">4:27</a> Unfolding your foldable phone and the flip phone should emit a low, unique sound and vibration. Not a sound that is too loud 🔊. And it shouldn't draw or attract too much public attention, but it's loud enough to symbolise luxury. I also believe that a mechanical switch is needed to lock the foldable in tablet mode, as also with the flip phone in phone mode. Such mechanical switch will retain that nostalgic feeling of having a traditional tablet because it can't close or fold back into the phone mode by any unnecessary means. Let's say that you want to show someone something in tablet mode, but you don't want them to close or unfold the tablet mode, the mechanical switch will prevent it from happening. The mechanical switch will be useful on the flip phones as well.
The software and AI of the Chinese version of vivo xfold3pro are very easy to use. I didn't expect the international version to be so different. The vivo office software makes it very convenient to interact with the phone and transfer files between PC and Mac. Especially the transfer of files, photos and videos with Mac and the mirroring display on Mac, these functions are almost the same as iOS18.
Neither Samsung and Honor can take Vivo on the Fold... None of them. Vivo has made a really good foldable. This X Fold 3 pro is a mind blowing 😍 cheaper, better, and faster charging... Everything is on it 🎉
@@thebestleoever true, but I have spent 10 years abroad traveling, and I've always bought a local sim card at the arrival airport before leaving it. I agree, there is no esim card, but travelers will always keep traveling even with the X Fold 3 Pro 😂😁
You have a biased view. Your intention is to make Samsung look bad, you're not actually defending it. It is clear that Vivo requires a significant amount of time to reach One OS. Despite that, I am eager for them to compete.
GREAT video Sir; I'm rocking my Honor Magic V2(can't wait to see the V3) and the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro and havent looked back. I don't use a stylus or Samsung Dex, so those things don't sway me. Looking forward to seeing the Google Pixel Fold 9 Pro & OnePlus Open 2 📱📱🤳🤳❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Vivo X Fold 3 wins HANDS DOWN !!! Samsung fold series has become a complete JOKE!!!! Why can't Samsung simply put two Samsung S24 Ultra Displays together to give us a fold??? And then use a third S24 Ultra display for the cover screen and the same camera system from the S24 Ultra and the built in S Pen in a Fold factor????? Samsung literally has all the hardware and software to make it happen and they don't need to reinvent anything new.
That would be WAY too big and heavy. I love the fold form factor. I've upgraded every year since the launch model. Their software is still worlds better than any other foldable.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1290">21:30</a> Mihoyo's (the developer of Genshin) new game Zenless Zone Zero is generally agreed to be even more demanding than Genshin, but its bottleneck is on single-core CPU instead of GPU
Z Fold 6 is an automatic win since I need the stylus. I do a lot of photo editing and other things using a stylus. Before anyone thinks the stylus can't be attached on the phone, yes it can... And without extra bulk since the new thinner streamline stylus was introduced during the launch of the Z Fold 5. I always use a case for my phone, and just like the Fold 5, there will be a case to snap the stylus on without the bulk. However, I'll still skip on the Fold 6 due to lack of a real significant upgrade
I currently have the vivo x fold 2 and Iam really happy with it. It's my first vivo phone but I think technically it's a really good foldable. Will skip a generation and get the vivo x fold 4 which should be more lightweight. That's the only thing I don't like with the vivo x fold 2 it's to heavy. I love the software of vivo. It's highly customizable and quick. Thanks for this comparison and your content in general. It was mainly because of your channel, that I've bought my vivo. Keep up the good work.
Hey me too, i am on Vivo X Fold+ but this battery health thing is annoying too me, although is below 80% now but daily use still can go 10 hours/ full charge.
I have both vivoxfold3pro and zfold5. Here is my opinion 1. Battery = vivoxfold3pro 2. Charging = vivoxfold3pro 3. Camera auto = vivoxfold3pro 4. Camera pro (manual) = zfold5 5. Screen color and resolution = zfold5 (deeper blacks and sharper screen) 6. Audio = zfold5 (louder and clearer) 7. Automation/Gemini/AI = zfold5 8. Phone Customisation = both are good but zfold5 with goodlock is definitely better 9. App Optimisation = zfold5 (xfold3pro have too many black bar and apps are just stretch out.. not optimised for "tablet" 10. No quickshare/nearby share/no andriod auto/slight notification delay = xfold3pro I end up selling xfold3pro because of the software (ui) and lack of optimised app for playstore apps. I never regret it. But I do missed xfold3pro battery and charging. I don't the camera at all. If i would have a best device.. i want a vivox3pro hardware w zfold6 software.
the vivo folded looks like a regular phone more than the Z Fold. Another thing is that the interior camera on the vivo does look better. The crease on the vivo is less noticeable for me at least
@@rsupremexx3971that has been and always will be the case. Chinese are better with Hardware because numbers sell in the Chinese market whereas Samsung and Apple pay more attention on the Software front. Sadly, they stopped paying attention to Hardware because of their monopoly. The Huawei ban was a major loss for consumers!
I have the IPhone 15 Pro Max. I would love to it for a different experience and the only thing I would miss is the iPhone battery life and cameras especially video quality.
The biggest difference that is visibly noticeable is the dark rich screen on the samsung internal screen vs the dark purple screen on the vivo.... that would annoy me... but I love the camera hardware and ir blaster on the vivo
Unbelievable samsung trounced out by a Chinese phone. I never went back after fold 4. Had all it's golds before that. Now on the Honor magic v2. Vivo in my sights))
