No shit, not everyone can shell out money for an iPhone or your typical flagship Android phone, even in the US.

Man, I wish xiaomi would sell in the US

Same. As a foldables guy, literally any Chinese folding phone looks leagues ahead of the z fold. I would love to get something like the vivo x fold 3 but warranty and cellular compatibility spook me. Samsung has me held hostage here in the states

As a foldable guy, I live in Singapore where Huawei, Xiaomi and Oppo also sell their foldables. They look okay at a glance but walk into any store and try them and the software immediately makes the phone feel underbaked.

There’s a reason despite that and their lower prices, there’s still far more common to see people with Samsung’s foldables than their Chinese counterparts.

I mean I guess I’ve never actually used one but every video I’ve seen from people like flossy Carter and such only rave about them.

I watched this yesterday and it made the vivo seem pretty much like a clear win. Basically the only thing Samsung has going for it is the software. And I’m sure in its home market this thing crushes the fold

It’s a form factor where software is even more important though. I’m sure that for some people the larger screen is fine enough but at that price point, the average person needs more value out of that cost. To each their own but it does seem that it’s not as clear cut as YouTubers may make it seem. There’s also the fact that Samsung does provide far better deals and support at least in this country compared to their Chinese counterparts.

I mean the vivo fold 3 is $500 cheaper than the fold 6, I’d say that’s some major value. And again from everything I’ve seen the software is basically up to snuff now. They all have flex mode, great multi window support (probably better on the vivo with 16gb of RAM), gapps support. I basically monitor equipment for work so I do literally nothing unless something breaks. With that my phone is my main entertainment device. In the video I linked, the battery benchmark he ran had the vivo fold beat the Samsung by almost 4 hours; even if that’s not real world I’m sure it still outpaces the fold 6 significantly. My SOT is pretty normally like this, so any improvement in battery would be great… Which Samsung hasn’t done in 3 years. And fully charged in like a third of the time too.

The deals and support come back to what I said in my initial comment, that’s why I haven’t pulled the trigger. But man I wish I could.
