Vivo X Fold 3 Pro vs OnePlus Open: Which Is the Better Foldable?
View quick summary
There's no doubt that the latest Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is a more modern foldable in comparison to the OnePlus Open. From bigger and brighter displays to a bigger battery and faster charging, the X Fold 3 Pro has a lot of good things going for it. However, the one area where OnePlus Open undeniably shines is the software experience. OxygenOS is understandably superior to the FuntouchOS 14, and is also backed by an additional year of major OS updates. But, the FuntouchOS experience on the X Fold 3 Pro isn't bad per say and also brings some AI features to the table. The primary camera performance of the X Fold 3 Pro is also slightly better in most scenarios. Overall, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is the best foldable I have used in recent years, eliminating most of the problems that this form factor brought in the past.

Vivo X Fold 3 Pro First Impressions: New Foldable King?
View quick summary
The Vivo X Fold 3 is here, and I've got my hands on it! The sleek and lightweight design, super bright and vivid display, big battery as well as a commendable rear camera setup had me all sorts of impressed. However, if I'm to nitpick, the FuntouchOS is an obvious bummer. But, the OS is pretty neat and nicely optimized with the X Fold 3 Pro, leaving not much room for complaints. However, compared to the OneUI on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and OxygenOS on the OnePlus Open, it obviously does feel barebones and bland. Keeping that aside alongside a not well-tuned selfie shooter, this is the finest foldable we've seen in recent years.
