[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
I will be eagerly waiting for your report on the device when you receive it.

Even if you post it in another thread, please drop a link here so we can see it.

Volte works here in the UK for the Vivo X Fold (I think... at least during a call I stay on 4G/5G, also have the HD Call icon) (WiFi call works also).
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
Same actually. I was surprised I got it in America as well as Scotland.

It’s a shame Canada isn’t working
[Vivo X Fold] carlitobahsoun:
do u think mix fold 2 Chinese rom enable call record ? thanks
[Vivo X Fold] AndroPlus:
This is false info, I confirmed it's working on Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 (MIUI 13.1).
[Vivo X Fold] AndroPlus:
Xiaomi MIX Fold 2's pros compared to vivo X Fold:

Lightweight and thin, I even feel it's lighter than Xiaomi 12S Ultra

High performance, it was avg. 59.9fps with Genshin highest quality

No punch hole

Creases are even less noticeable

VoLTE is enabled by default and force-enable command works

Touch latency of MIX Fold 2's inner screen is far better than vivo (and even normal flagships), it's 37.6ms where vivo was 56.7ms

Here's my benchmark results for each SoC and device. List of Benchmark Results AnTuTu benchmark is a popular Android benchmark app, but often falls victim

Cons:

No flex mode, cannot be fixed at any angle

vivo's camera is better especially at night

Wattage performance is a little poor in performance mode, maybe it's better on balanced mode

Easily heated, easily cooled

No punch hole camera, but illuminance sensor is visible in light reflection

[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
Thanks for this

Easier to root than vivo?
[Vivo X Fold] AndroPlus:
Yes, bootloader unlocking needs 168 hours to approval, but Xiaomi provides fastboot images so rooting is really easy.

You can even receive OTA after rooting.
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
Ha that is easy!

The x fold is still rooted but the process took a lot. I wish it was more like xiaomi but I also wish more developers had this device for rom porting and the like
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
So after looking at the Mix Fold 2, what do you think is the overall better device?

Which one would you prefer to use on a daily basis?

Also, how is the MIUI Fold interface compared to the very Chinese one of Vivo's Ocean OS?
[Vivo X Fold] carlitobahsoun:
will u check if mix fold 2 have call recording in call setting ?
[Vivo X Fold] AndroPlus:
I think MIX Fold 2 is better since it's really lightweight for carrying and SoC is more powerful.

I don't use flex mode much but often use inner screen for reading books, so punch-hole free screen is comfortable for daily use.

The vivo's camera is better but I use Xiaomi 12S Ultra for photography so that's ok.

Also touch latency of MIX Fold 2's inner screen is far better than vivo (and even normal flagships), it's 37.6ms where vivo was 56.7ms.

I prefer MIUI Fold as Ocean OS' battery saver is so bad.

I have to turn off battery optimization and enable auto-start but compared to Ocean OS, MIUI does respect user's settings and notifications comes smoothly.

Functionality of multi-windows are almost same.

Yes, there's call recording feature
[Vivo X Fold] carlitobahsoun:
wow , where u live?

till now mix fold 2 nit availlable in middle east
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
It can be ordered in Europe (UK for sure through Wonda Mobile) through some e-tailers. It is still the Chinese version but it is what is...
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
One more question.

Can you do a horizontal split screen on the Mix Fold 2? The Vivo can't yet...

Basically have an almost full-screen Youtube on the upper half with a web page on the lower... or something similar...
[Vivo X Fold] AndroPlus:
I live in Japan and ordered with 8999CNY from Xiaomi official store on JD.com.

It's Chinese website but supports oversea shipping with FedEx and I got within 5 days.

There's no option for that... It only splits into two vertical windows
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
And What about battery life in balanced mode (I guess that is the default one?) Is it the same/better/worse?

My X Fold for instance usually survives the day (barely...) from 7AM to about 10PM (at about 5% left) This is with about 20 minutes of State fo Survival, some Whatsapp during the day, some web browsing on my way to work and back in the train and mostly standby...
[Vivo X Fold] carrieta17:
I receive mine, I love the phone, but would love to root as I want to have android auto.. If you root let me know how it goes..
[Vivo X Fold] carrieta17:
My thoughts on the phone as I had both the Vivo X fold and now the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2.. The Mix fold is subjectively better in that that it's thiner and at least to me not as heavy. Agree that notifications are better than in the vivo fold.

With T-Mobile VOLTE works, Wifi calling works well. I had to sell the Vivo since those features did not work for me.

I am able to use other apps other than default google messages work, although I can't send pics for some reason though there just messages.

I had trouble with the wear os that I downloaded through the App Store, but suing the version downloaded through the Xiaomi store my watch works.

What was awesome was that at work the wifi network is EAP, and with most phones (other than Samsung) I can't connect with the Mix Fold connecting is easy : )

I just wish Android Auto would work, hoping a tutorial of how to root comes out soon.
[Vivo X Fold] carrieta17:
I can confirm it works as well
[Vivo X Fold] AndroPlus:
The battery life is good with balanced mode and it's better than X Fold.

Especially battery drain in standby is low and it was 3% in 8 hours (sleeping with Wi-Fi/5G turned on, no battery saver)
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
did you disable the Xiaomi "optimizations" in Developer options to get rid of the battery saver?
[Vivo X Fold] AndroPlus:
No, I just disabled through normal app settings
[Vivo X Fold] Candy_girl2008:
Hi, how about the camera compare to the X Fold? THANKS
[Vivo X Fold] AndroPlus:
I created magisk module to enable Android Auto support :)

[Vivo X Fold] carrieta17:
that is awesome !! Have you rooted the phone yet ? Would yoi be able to provide the basic steps?
[Vivo X Fold] carlitobahsoun:
till now i cant find mix fold 2 gold 12/256 for 1350$ outside my country lebanon middle east .😭😔
[Vivo X Fold] AndroPlus:
Unlocking needs 3--4 days but I tested on Xiaomi 12S Ultra so it should work on Fold 2 too.

For the rooting, basically you just need to download fastboot firmware you are using from

Xiaomi Firmware Updater

The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.

xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

and extract boot.img from the zip, then patch in magisk app and flash it in bootloader.

[Vivo X Fold] PacoPaco1:
I had mix fold and I was facing a lot of problems with the software (miui). Hard to connect via Bluetooth with devices. I never managed to send attachments with any application. I'm waiting for the new miui to release hoping this problems will be fixed. Chinese rims are not convenient for users outside China. I'm watching all the reports from vivo users and I'm happy if the only problems are those 4 as I read above.
[Vivo X Fold] Ayit Boss Geez:
I had this worry, turns out this does happen if you disable miui optimization, i just split with youtube on top, discord on bottom.
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
So let me see if I understood this correctly,

If you disable "Xiaomi Optimizations" from Developer Settings, you can have YouTube (or another player) on the top half of the phone (in full screen) and another app on the bottom half of the screen?
[Vivo X Fold] Ayit Boss Geez:
Yes, this is correct
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
That is really nice to hear! Can you please make a screenshot whenever you have time?
[Vivo X Fold] Ayit Boss Geez:
You can also zoom to fill too so the whole top half is covered, and if you split from a different app first, then open youtube, you can have it on the bottom. Whatever app is opened first is on the top. This is in portraight, if you rotate to landscape, it switches to vertical. You could maybe set up a tasker event or something so that whenever split with youtube, it is forced into portraight, but i havent tested anything like that.
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
Thanks for the screenshot!

So in this case the crease is vertical right?
[Vivo X Fold] Ayit Boss Geez:
Yep
[Vivo X Fold] OrionBG:
Got it. Thanks for the info!

Still not as good as it can be with the phone in Landscape mode (to have proper left and right speakers) but still something...
[Vivo X Fold] Ayit Boss Geez:
Yeah, I dont know why xiaomi made this a limitation, it seems necessary for a foldable. I wouldnt be surprised if it gets added in an update. Because you can atleast unlock this phone without relying on it being on early enough fw, i hope someone makes a mod to allow for horizontal, vertical split switching.
[Vivo X Fold] Glesi2323:
Anyone with the mix fold 2 getting 5g? And if yes, does it bounce from 5g to LTE? Im in the US running T-Mobile in a 5g dominated area but my fold will get 5g for like 2 minutes and resort to LTE/LTE+ right after. I've set 5g to preferred, turned off 5g smart switch and nothing seems to work. YouTuber that made a video says they get 5glre than anything so now I'm wondering if there's a setting that has to be enabled or something, what's your experience?
[Vivo X Fold] Glesi2323:
This works for me too but only in landscape mode with the inner screen
[Vivo X Fold] Glesi2323:
I don't know of you saw my other post. How is your mobile connection? Does 5g stick to your phone? I live in a 5g area and my phone connects to 5g and then reverts to LTE/LTE+. I'm also on TMobile. I've changed the preferred network settings using the dialer code but that doesn't help stick to a 5g connection for long either. What settings do you have on/off?
[Vivo X Fold] carrieta17:
Mobile connection is great, it does stick to 5G in T-Mobile.. I did not change any settings just inserted the sim. The APN it connected to is epic.tmobile.com. The only different thing I did was to use the Xiaomi code to enable wifi calls.. I live in Orlando not sure if that makes a difference, I know that there is only one 5G band that the phone uses that is available in the US, and I guess it depends what bands are used where you live.. Not sure if rooting the phone allows to expand the amount of bands ??
[Vivo X Fold] Glesi2323:
Okay, thank you for your comment! Last night after I made my comment, I reseted all network settings and it decided to stick with the epic APN (which I would keep changing to Fast because that's what I had default on my Vivo x fold) and it started working! I was going to ask this morning about that (epic vs Fast) but you answered my question! Thank you!!
[Vivo X Fold] ajschill77:
I do not see the apn for epic.tmobile.com, i see epc.tmobile.com, is that the same apn? Im having trouble getting 5g also, just LTE, could that be the apn or the limit of 5g bands for tmobile on this phone?

What text messaging app do you guys use? any issues with mms or group texts using the google message app?

Thanks!
[Vivo X Fold] Glesi2323:
Hey, sorry I meant epc.

I am using the Google messaging app with rcs, no issue with anything at all. Only issue is still 5G, if I switch the 5g preferred off and on it will pick up the 5g signal for like 2 minutes then resorts to LTE only.

Hopefully anyone else has any input on this, on TMobile as well.
[Vivo X Fold] ajschill77:
Thank you, so, when i go into google messages it says my sim card is not compatible for this service? Any ideas? Thanks!
[Vivo X Fold] Glesi2323:
Is your sim an R15 sim? You can check on your sim card, it should have either R15 or it will start with SM I believe
[Vivo X Fold] ajschill77:
It does have R15 on it....
[Vivo X Fold] ajschill77:
Did you download it from play store? Google messages that is?
[Vivo X Fold] Glesi2323:
Yes I downloaded it from the play store. If it's R15, have you tried downloading the APK instead? All I did was install from playstore, grant it all permissions and auto start, and then locked it, set it as default and boom 💥 worked
[Vivo X Fold] ajschill77:
ok, thanks for the reply, while i have you on here, what launcher are you using? anyway to use nova with gesture navigation that you know of ?
[Vivo X Fold] Glesi2323:
Smart launcher replaced nova for me years ago. I set it up when I first got the phone but you can't use the full screen navigation buttons with a third party launcher so I decided to stick with the stock launcher. I like the stock launcher now, especially since I downloaded the Xiaomi Themes APK to change the overall look of the phone (icons, notification bar, notifications, lock screen).
[Vivo X Fold] frcraig:
I had the same issue for the first couple of days after I received the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2. I'm not sure what I did to get it working, but after changing the default voice assistant from Xiaomi AI to Android Assistant, and then uninstalling and reinstalling Google Messages it fixed itself and RCS chat turned on.
[Vivo X Fold] carrieta17:
No worries... have you rooted and if so have you been able to get AA to work ?
[Vivo X Fold] Glesi2323:
No, I have not rooted my device

FLEX MODE on vivo x fold with youtube possible? i just have this phone and cant figure out how to set flex mode up
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
Flex mode is a Samsung specific feature and not a vivo one...
[Vivo X Fold] Smartphoner:
It's working fine on my Fold plus without issues and without any setting and pinch to zoom also.
[Vivo X Fold] jelkomme:
really? HOW? can you show me a video or a pic? on my xfold youtube is not working on flex mode? ?
[Vivo X Fold] jelkomme:
some people say its possible to zoom or full screen youtube on a single flex mode screen other tell me its not possible... for me personally it i son possible. so can ou please explain us how to do ? and maybe show a creen or some video tutorial?
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
My bad I just checked and it does in fact work. I had portrait lock on
[Vivo X Fold] jelkomme:
anybody can show a video or a pic please? 4 me youtube is not working on flex mode! the video its not playing on the upper screan only
[Vivo X Fold] jelkomme:
Flex Mode youtube video only play on TOP Screen while unfolded? is this possible and if so, HOW????? please any help?

​
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
There's really nothing to it. make sure portrait mode is off and flip your screen while watching youtube.

That's it
[Vivo X Fold] jelkomme:
i think you guys get my idea wrong. When the Phone is unfolded there is a big screen on the inside and youtube videos can be viewed on the full unfolded big screen, right? when i close the screen to a L-Shape (like a Notebook) the youtube video is NOT showing on the inside upper screen (im talking flex mode, like it is on samsung fold 4) check this image: https://ibb.co/1GJ93v6

so, its there a workaround?
[Vivo X Fold] jelkomme:
basically what i want to do is: play youtube videos on the upper part of the screen when the phone is partly unfolded (laptop mode)
[Vivo X Fold] Smartphoner:
Here you go...
[Vivo X Fold] jelkomme:
how is this possible? i didnt get this, do you set up something special in the settings or something?
[Vivo X Fold] Smartphoner:
Nothing done, it's just there.
[Vivo X Fold] Flavio:
How does the Xiaomi compare to the Vivo with regard to the battery and background management of apps. The very aggressive behavior of the Vivo in this regard is starting to annoy me.
[Vivo X Fold] BLEK0TA:
on A13 it works now, he must have in november installed beta A13 version..
[Vivo X Fold] RyanGFlex:
I just bought a Fold 2 and use it in Switzerland. Notifications are working. I actually get way too many, like "Whatsapp accessed XY in background"..

My problem is, that Whatsapp often doesn't show my contacts or won't let me record voice messages. I let that damn app access my contacts and the mic. The app may autostart, has no battery restrictions, may run in background, won't shut down or so. Still, suddenly can't record voice messages anymore. But it worked for a few days before?! Voice calls are no prob though. 😆🤪 And Gboard is being deactivated from time to time and that ugly stock keyboard appears..

But thanks to you guys I can split the screen horizontally. 👍🏻

Edit: just found out it was the MIUI optimization in the developer tools that I turned off. That caused Whatsapp to fool me. Couldn't send voice messages or pictures. Just text. Optimization is back on and Whatsapp running perfectly fine again. I prefer that over horizontally splitting the screen..
[Vivo X Fold] KrulKacperek:
I just manage to setup my VIVO x fold +. Came from Mi11 Ultra. To me cameras are comparable (with some + and -) Main cam gives more details. Photo editing and AI implemented there is nice playground. After a few days with this beast machine i can say that despite its chinese firmware still works better than xiaomi.eu version of os for mi 11U. 0 problems with notifications (dark mode still no go) all apps, ticwatch works great (excluding AA ofc).
[Vivo X Fold] Koysii:
I'm finally in the process of ordering the x fold plus. Only thing that was really holding me back is the timeline feature in Google maps doesn't work on any Vivo china ROM phones. I'll just have to live with it and maybe use a different location history app instead hopefully can find one that some how integrates with Google maps data format.

I'd like to know before I buy the x fold plus, does Tethering work in the UK as my network allows unlimited tethering. But I've never used Origin OS and with the aggressive power management I'd like to know if it kills tethering WiFi hotspots from the phone.
[Vivo X Fold] Smartphoner:
How do you split apps horizontally? Can you please explain how to do it 🙏🏼
[Vivo X Fold] LackyLacky:
I have the opportunity to buy this Vivo x Fold phone for £ 600, it would be my first fold-out phone, the question is whether it is worth investing in a ren model at this time or looking for something else in this money ?
[Vivo X Fold] domineus:
I'm curious to see where it is had at 600.

But imho I think so. Camera is great, Android 13 is super smooth and overall I had a great experience with mine
[Vivo X Fold] gadgetfunny:
i will pick xiaomi mix fold 2 rather than vivo x fold, i love good performance smartphone rather than camera.

why the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2 stands out and why it should be your preferred foldable smartphone.

Display Technology and Quality:

One of the key aspects to consider in a foldable smartphone is the display technology and quality. The Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2 boasts an impressive 8.01-inch flexible AMOLED display with a resolution of 2480 x 1860 pixels, providing vibrant colors and excellent contrast levels.

Additionally, the device features an improved UTG (ultra-thin glass) layer, enhancing durability and minimizing crease issues commonly associated with foldable phones. On the other hand, the Vivo X Fold utilizes a similar AMOLED display technology but falls short in terms of resolution and display quality.

The Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2's superior display makes it a more immersive and visually appealing choice.

Powerful Performance:

When it comes to performance, the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2 outshines the Vivo X Fold. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset and accompanied by up to 16GB of RAM, the Mi Mix Fold 2 delivers exceptional speed and multitasking capabilities.

The Vivo X Fold, while equipped with a decent Snapdragon processor, doesn't match the Mi Mix Fold 2's processing power. Whether you're gaming, editing photos, or running resource-intensive applications, the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2 provides a smooth and lag-free experience.

Camera Capabilities:

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the camera capabilities of the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2. It features a triple-camera setup with a 108MP main sensor, a 13MP ultra-wide lens, and an 8MP periscope telephoto lens.

This combination allows for stunning photos with sharp details and vibrant colors. The Vivo X Fold, on the other hand, offers a similar camera setup but falls slightly behind in terms of overall image quality and versatility. If capturing high-quality images is a priority, the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2 is the better choice.

Battery Life and Charging:

Foldable devices require substantial battery power to accommodate their larger screens, and in this aspect, the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2 shines. It packs a massive 4,500mAh battery that easily lasts a full day of heavy usage.

Moreover, it supports 67W fast charging, allowing you to quickly replenish the battery. In comparison, the Vivo X Fold's battery capacity and charging speed are relatively lower, making the Mi Mix Fold 2 a more reliable option for users who prioritize long-lasting battery life.

Value for Money:

Last but not least, the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2 offers excellent value for money. It provides top-of-the-line specifications and features at a competitive price point, making it more accessible to a wider range of consumers.

The Vivo X Fold, although a capable device, comes with a higher price tag, which may deter some potential buyers. The Mi Mix Fold 2's affordability combined with its impressive performance and features makes it a compelling choice for anyone seeking a foldable smartphone without breaking the bank.
