What do YOU think to the current state of Foldable phones? To check out that Tesla Electro Phone video: kzhead.info/sun/qLSxm9Z_g2Kiao0/bejne.html

Hi
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
Only china is not a compitition for now per se but apart from the lack of front camera it's all good.
But people are buying samsung folds than xiaomi remember even samsung folds are expensive than xiaomi
@@deadinsiderf9886 Samsung are more expensive, that's why people buy because they think higher price equals to good quality.
@@shiro3598 aren`t they more expensive coz they got more features ??!!
that xiaomi's foldable phone is not as durable as samsung fold 4 .....looks way more cheaper......it is less durable......it is not even water proof......it doesnt have a proper software for foldable phone...like samsung has........it doesnt even support any stylus......and plus its ui is the worst.........AND THE CONCLUTION IS THAT SAMSUNG GALAXY FOLD 4 IS BEST PERFECT AND PROPER FOLDABLE 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.
Ya they copies well 🫢😂
Yeah it's called stealing patents.
😂😂😝
Starting late is probably better than being the first to do something. You get to see how others fail so that you don't make those mistakes
Starting late does give an advantage.
All phones are foldable, if you fold them hard enough.
Not without getting destroyed
Lol
Same with computer
Only once
A one time use feature that is truly jaw dropping
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)
Anyone else feel a spark of joy when Arun uploads

So true
My name guys it's legit
Yup....to me its the best channel ever
Sameee
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.
yeah i question the no gap in the folded screen, is one little tiny spec of dirt/crumb about to kill this screen?
Imma stick with my iPhone
I'll stick with my S21
@@SuperBoop I’ll stick with my Nokia 3310

This guy here does the most objective and informative reviews on tech KZhead 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 😁
Really no bias? Everytime i come across his videos it's always supposed to be a review of a phone which always turns out a comparison to samsung phones lol. And guess what? Samsung always wins🤣
@@metanoia3824 he never says samsung won...
@@metanoia3824 Uhhh keep dreaming
@@metanoia3824idk man when i watch his video i didn't get that, maybe its you who are just interested in those kind of videos? KZhead algorithm sometimes do that
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 KZhead right now. Big ups Arun!
I'll probably jump ship only after they fix the crease lol. Whats the point of spending so much on a phone that has around half (or even less than that) the lifespan of a normal flagship phone, only because the crease will have issues for sure a few months in.
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.

Xiaomi's fold 2 looks like a normal phone, this is a successful strategy
@@Instabruh.User.. wrong
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.
Lol it’s not a scam, it makes perfect economic sense. It’s just that since majority of us have so many charging bricks accrued from changing smartphones frequently, it just doesn’t make sense for companies to throw in another one in the box. Do note that this trend doesn’t extend to iPads and MacBooks. If this was in 2010, people would definitely riot given how smartphones are still taking off. But now in 2022, most of us have smartphones. Why would we need a new charger given how they can pretty much last forever?
@@damnfreakingsien It does not make sense, you still have to buy a new charger, you're not gonna charge a brand new phone with an old 20w charger. And why still shipping a cable when everybody got 10 at home.
@@damnfreakingsien I'm not going to charge my brand spanking new phone with some old 10W charger, so obviously i will go ahead and buy a suitable charger for my phone and give them more money. It's not about saving the environment or some crap, they just saw an opportunity to make more bucks under the facade of saving the environment. If i am paying a THOUSAND friggin Euros for a phone i damn well better get that charger in the box.
@@invinsible1987 reason - 💰💰🏦💲🤑🤑 I have absolutely no respect for companies that are in on the no charger included scam and even less respect for the ones which mock other companies for something and then end up doing the exact same thing.
Mix fold2 is missing some features that I can ignore. On the otherhand, it is giving some feature which I love: the slimness, the usable size, the fast charging and better Battery. Yet almost 400$ cheaper!!!! So, overall, I think Xiaomi have done a great job. Congratulations Xiaomi.
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
I am impressed with your video quality. So many scenes, its no wonder you have so many subs!🙌
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
It's a cool gimmick but what's the advantage from going to a tiny screen to a normal screen instead of from a normal size screen to a huge screen? Like the Z-flip is way thicker so it won't take less space in your pockets anyways
If you are interested, Huawei made a flip smartphone months ago: The P50 Pocket. There is also the limited edition design with the futuristic (as in avant garde style)designer Iris Van Herpen. I have been wanting to buy this one maybe in a couple of other months now. The price is high but not obnoxious considering the average price tag of any major smartphone (Even if not Apple or Samsung) so it's "normal".
@@leolego2 it actually does. A 6.67" Phone can fit most pockets but awkwardly. A Flip reduces that to almost half because of the reduction of the length and it's thickness is just like a wallet with cash.
@@jansaycon8441 Its honestly sad you had to explain this to him, thanks for doing gods work.
@@jansaycon8441 You're right for the mostpart, but I think it's a case much like wireless earbuds where it's not the length/width that counts, but the depth. Because it's so small and fat, it makes a weird protrusion in your pocket. I do think it wouldn't be an actual problem, though.
7:20 I thought the video was loading for a second 💀
Lol, that would've scared the guy with the fastest wifi
Love the review, simple, straightforward forward, and practical. While foldable are good, we are many years of improvements away before foldable technology is fully mature hardware-wise and software-wise. Companies are just trying to be the first to capture the market.
I wish foldable phones had a aspect ratio closer to a regular phone on the inner screen so when watching movies or any content it takes full advantage of its larger screen. Great vid as always

Great review and The end conclusions amazing 🤗
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.
e-ink displays are substantially more bulky than regular OLED/LCDs
No one's buying an e ink display for 1700$
@@EMS_1 e ink is very expensive to produce. it's complicated, and the patents for the technology have only recently expired.
Check yota phone. It had an e ink display that could retain the last screen displayed even without power.
@@lakeland6798 An E-Ink screen is absolutely not bulky at all! The E-ink Screen on my Yotaphone has a thickness of less than 0,5 mm (0,02 inch). It's even a bit Flexible, glued to the curvy glass back. The connection to the mainboard is made by a super thin flexible cable. I'd love to have a modern phone with an E-Ink as the outside or backside screen for always on infomations - like a clock, notifications, graphics or using it in bright sunlight.
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.
Hinges fold flat on the Xiaomi but they are raised slightly so there is a gap between the screens when closed
oooh nice perspective
Hey bro ,great video and thank you so much for your opinion from buying to no buying!!!!keep it up
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.
Samsung folds sucks
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.
Doesnt the Samsung one leave a Gap so no Dirt can scratch the Display when getting inside? I only can imagine how the Xiaomi looks after some Months.
@@linklink999999 Yeah kinda bummed Arun didn't mention this. Well then again Zack from JRE will test it someday.
talk about the fold line. I won't get a foldable phone until they deal with that line that's on the screen.
@@linklink999999 just wipe before you fold if you notice dirt or dust...
@@deemrick4385 That's a deal breaker for me as well. I just won't be able to get used to a crease that's right in the middle and ruin your viewing experience.

as to the size of the outside screen of the z fold, i actually prefer it once i started using it. reminds me of old little iphones. it's so comfortable. plus the gap when closing protects the inner screen from being scratched further by dust or sand.

i got the z fold 4 day one and love it. yeah its a bit chonky and i really only use the full screen for videos but i still like it. it has great performance and is useful in situations you would never expect
The z flip is just so aesthetically perfect, so i would choose it, but hopefully this competition will improve the performance.

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.
i cant wait to see what else samsung brings to the Z series, first the Z fold, now the Z flip, who knows that other form factors they could be working on, though i am loving my fold 2

I was literally about to switch from iPhone since the 3Gs to buy the new Xiaomi. But thanks I saw your video, now I am willing to wait more before changing ! 💯👍
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.
Why did you choose MY phone?
LOL keep being stuck in the past then. You still use a rotary phone too ?
The only real downside to the form factor is what exactly?
Folds are better I'll never go back to using a normal phone
I love my ultra 22+
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

im here because ive seen your video on how you needed help to surpass apple in subs . the only thing i regret is not finding this channel sooner . love the nature scene while reviewing tech .
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.
Yes, I agree about the MIUI OS being very annoying. I have got a POCO phone that runs on MIUI and it is not not a smooth operation.
what?? what phones did u have? MIUI is one of the best UI lol...
Redmi A1 exists 😂😆🤣
I’ve used mi a1 before, and the software is more cleaner and fells more faster and smoother because its pure android, xiaomi should bring MI A series back
@ false lol
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!
Never have high expectations to cruel reality
He does it with every phone and exaggerates like crazy. All for views.

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
Tbh I still don't see the point of getting a fold over an ultra model even if you have big hands.
@@amitkeni4794 it's the "tablet" part
@@TonyJenn but it’s like two in one laptops, its neither a good tablet nor a good phone specially at that price
Nobody thought the nokia 3310 was bulky. It's just by making comparisons that people comment that it s too thick. The fold is way slimmer than old nokia phones and nobody complained about those. Short people would carry them around all day.
"Giant proportions" I desperately need a tiny phone

1:40 for the times wanted to press backspace and hit enter/send there is a way. its called typewise. it has hexagonal keys to better match your finger tips (who has square fingertips?) Takes a while to get used to, but once u get going i promise u will type faster, more accurate and the best thing is that enter is not next to backspace. or you can swipe left ANYWHERE to backspace and right to repaste what you deleted. If you take the time to get used to it for a good 14 days im sure u will thank me for it Arun.
Can we just take a minute of Silence for those who are watching Tech Videos without buying anything
Thanks 😔
Appreciate that ❤️
Bcs i love Tech Videos
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
The XS & XS2 outward fold are absolutely the best foldables by a long way because they use the simplest solution which always wins the game. They did the inward folding X2 just to show Samsung how inward should be done but they knew the future is outward folding.
I do think it's the best form factor but the safety and exposed screen is a big concern since it's not even glass
But, same with most other folds out there it doesn't made it to global market. Which is such a shame to look at
With the worst battery life in foldables.
@@zadsazhad the protective case that you get in the box covers the back screen when folded, it also flips open to allow the phone to stand horizontally and also makes it easy to carry
Absolutely great phone comparesment and review. Thank you whose the boss.
Haha you killed it with that "oh dear" ! :D
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.
AR?
@@scifiordie Aspect ratio
Foldables seem tempting for me as well, but I just can't justify giving up Apple's integrity when multitasking and working between devices compared to Android. I have various devices, both on Android, Windows and Apple systems, but really, I haven't found anything that can provide me with efficient workflow besides Apple. Which is the stopping factor for me when using a phone, computer or tablet, because I study and work a lot. I can only see foldables as a good alternative for leisure, and it works wonders for that (especially being able to multitask with a bigger screen), but the premium that's charged for buying a foldable just doesn't justify the leisure factor.
Had my fold 4 for a week and on god it's thr best decision I've made. Never going back to regular phones again.
Aruns content has reached it own standards The years of hard-work has just made him hands down one of the best tech KZheadr Globally.
Arun is best
Arun is biased
I think the circle in background where we can see you is distracting. But that's just my opinion. I guess it can help you make the content look nicely presented in a unique way while also preventing others from jacking your video samples.
Where can I buy one in the States? Thank you! Love your videos!
Rare camera selfie with foldable is insane 🔥😈
You made the video before my birthday ❤❤
I’m am so impressed with this video my mind has actually BLOWN
The flip is still my favorite, I think companies should focus on phones like the flip
I really like the flip but honestly all it does is be smaller on your pocket and make it easier for you to use your main camera for selfies. Big folding phones tho give you a big and a small screen on the same device, much better feature and way less gimmicky imo
Whats the flip for? This type of foldable lets you have a phone and a tablet in one while a flipphone just has a visible hinge in the middle, gets smaller and lets you do selfies with the main cam thats it...
Im sure Xiaomi's gonna copy that too : (
@@hungry3525 What did xiaomi already copy?
I think the flip design is still an inefficient form factor. Yes it’s legit cool with certain neat tricks and productivity related, but like what Arun said, this is not efficient design. When you’re using it, you’re carrying another unused screen, vice versa. It’s really the same reasoning as a touch screen laptop being inefficient given how most of us will prolly never use the touch screen feature much.
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.
All folds have creases, Oppo find N imo is the best
@@haruyanto8085 I meant it shouldn't be that glaringly visible on camera from that distance.
With all that inefficiency, you're getting the convenience of a tablet/phone combo device. Super cool.

Samsung pioneered foldable phones then Xiaomi took it personally.
Read my name 😍
I see you EVERYWHERE
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
what did you get, the samsung fold 2?
I don’t know. It seems that I am the only one in this whole comment section that prefers a smaller phone. I really do not get the concept of having to multitask so much on one’s phone. A phone is a phone after all.
@@andredingstertsao I think that’s the thing, for a lot of people a phone replaces an entire laptop or desktop set up. A phone is just a phone for people with alternatives, if it’s the only thing you have/invest in then it represents a lot more
@@andredingstertsao you are not alone, I would rather take 5.5 inch phn rather than these behemoth or the tall 6.67 inch phones...
The soft screen is what put me really off when I tried the z fold once in a store. I don't know if it is something that will ever be able to be fixed but it's just weird feeling like i'm touching soft plastic instead of a glass screen, it feels like it's going to be damaged if I press it with even a mild force. The dip right over the seam is also very off putting, and in this video I can see that is still a very big problem in this model as well.
lol , and how u fold a real glass
If you hardcore, its not good for you. Buy regular phone instead
2:57 His aim........................................................ LOL
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! 👍🏻❤️
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
Fold it into a pair of VR and/or AR glasses.
If you fold a paper side by side 42 times it will reach the moon...maybe that's a place to start for the next gens!
Rollables are the answer
Rollable phones are the next thing... Seriously, I probably won't change my current S22 ultra until Samsung makes a good rollable phone. Everything else has drawbacks that aren't worth switching OR they don't make as huge an impact like a rollable phone would make
@@ResonanceHub That's why I bought an S22 Ultra too. It's a true flagship for specs, better than the Fold's downgraded specs. And it's an actual phone, plus the S-pen is cool. Big enough screen for a power-user too
Great video, but I couldn't help but get distracted by the location... was that Wollaton Park?! Damn, I really want to visit Wollaton Park/Hall again, last time I was there, I was just out of school, (around 16) I moved away from Nottingham over ten years ago, and now I'm feeling homesick all over again. Do they still have the room with all the old phones hooked up? Anyway, as for the phone, to me, fold phones have a looong way to go before I can see them as anything more than a fad. It's awesome, but impractical with all the sacrifices made to achieve them and the lack of app appropriate support and video aspect ratio formats. I'm more interested in the folding screens, and what that can bring to other devices in the future. So many possibilities.
Ever since my Kyocera Echo, I've had high hopes for another foldable but all seem to have missed the boat.
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...

@@whiteV50R Fold is a tablet
I get what you’re saying as using it as both a phone and a tablet, I actually never considered that that may be why people want it. Imagine having an iPad and iPhone all in one (or a tablet and phone), that would be pretty cool. I carry my iPad with me and my iPhone everywhere, so I don’t relate really to wanting them together, but that’s just because I’ve never considered it.
Xiaomi is really growing big and really improves major with every new device release. Big fan of Xiaomi.
cheap and flimsy chinese tech with trash software support woohoo!
@@aternialaffsalot Chinese companies destroy the whole American country
I love titles that ask a question and thumbnails that answer them. Peak comedy
I've got to contest against the form factor argument. Yes, the other screen is tucked away when you don't use it, but it also means that it is well protected against drops. Most importantly though, the super thin and thick form factor to me at least has made it an amazing one handed phone. I don't need to use two fingers to type when I can just swipe with my one, and having it be as thick as it is makes it fit in my hand more confidently, where with a thinner phone I feel like I can't use it one handed without a risk of it falling when I try to reach for buttons not immediately placed at my thumb. It's definitely a niche product, but with enough time with it you find that it's super efficient closed as a one handed device, and really great multitasking powerhouse as a two handed device when opened. I personally can't think of going back to a standard form factor phone anymore, the things it does well it just far above the competition.
That MIUI fold is impressive, the fact that they take their time to make its own dedicated software
Like Nokia and their Symbian OS before they sank.
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. 🤷🏽♂️
And Samsung's software is way ahead of them as of now.
Maybe not to you, but their massive domestic market is just good enough. Consider that they have more consumers domestically than most of other countries even when combined
@@taboobunny9186 which means absolutely jack all to us, if they won't launch globally then they are irrelevant
@@aternialaffsalot yes..i'm feeling sorry for you.

I've been using my Xiaomi phone for 4 years and I have 0 complaints. It has oled, full screen (zero bezels via pop up camera) and it was like 500 dollars.
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.
How can you not like ZFold4's camera when it literally has peak dynamic range and sharpness??
Watching this on my Z Fold 4. I absolutely love it, I could definitely say that now it's the time to turn into foldable phones. The different ways to take pictures, the image quality on both screens, the so practical Taskbar for multitasking. By the way, I found really useful multitask on the main screen. The only weak point I have experienced is the battery life, as on every Samsung phone (except for the S7 Edge). Fold 4 is quite expensive though, but I'm taking advantage of every single feature on it. Thanks for this honest review, man. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
Im also on a z fold 4 watching this video. From Danmark
I really love how Arun makes a really good video that’s only 9 minutes long!
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.
It's not gimmicky, it's game changing if you consume a lot of media/multitask/etc on your phone. Shit, just having a much bigger display to zoom in with makes everything from viewing/editing pictures to checking out close ups of products you're about to buy (and much more) just that much easier and efficient. If you don't think the trade offs are worth it, fair enough. But to say it's a gimmick, as in people just want to play with something that folds, is probably not accurate in most cases. It's the reason I have like 2-3 tablets and multiple laptops at any one time. There's just always a device that does something better (no perfect device syndrome). With modern day smart phones, we've never really had a choice because all slab phones essentially do the same thing. Some bigger or slightly smaller but none really crossing over into the tablet space where you start to invalidate the need for something like an ipad mini
To sad, we couldn*t get those one in Germany. But in the new future is the release of the One Plus Open. Hoping this one will be selled in Germany =(
That's it, you helped me decide, I'm switching from the Note 20 ultra to the Viitorul S23 Ultra, thank you ! 🤗🤗🤗
