In a nutshell... this phone is blooming great!
Uncharacteristically for me, I have held on to the vivo X Fold 3 Pro for 21 months, since the launch of the global model, quite simply because I have not found a phone that can better it for my usage.
My original concerns about this phone were unfounded. The 5,700 mAh Si/C Li-Ion battery is now at 97% after nearly 2 years of constant use, (see screenshot), which is OK by me. Charging at 100W wired and 50W wireless in around 31" and 62" is a big plus for me.
The unique carbon fibre hinge of the phone has and still is, performing flawlessly and shows no sign of wear and tear.
Perhaps one of the biggest things for me is the screen brightness of 4,500 nits which works well in the sunshine here in the Cotswolds of England.
The phone works well on the global 5G Ultra network here in the UK and Europe
Last but not least is the crease which to me has not become any more noticeable than the day it arrived and can only be detected at a level angle of 90 degrees.
One thing I have noticed and is evident from my posts on here, is that the Chinese do not offer piecemeal updates but rather, bring all their optimisations, features releases and security patch, together in one monthly release. Apart from a few trial updates, such as the one in post #1, that is it so far.
In the last 21 months I have found nothing so far to tempt me away from this phone although I shall be looking at the global model of the Honor Magic V6 when it is released in Q3.
