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.
