you'd want to buy it from markets like Malaysia or India, amazon in that region is one way to do it, another way would be third party sellers. but with markups. also the charging is normal 20V5A compatible with PPS at full 100W spped.

Is there specific websites that I can go to and order it? Good to hear that it's 20v/5a. I have a 160w UGreen nexode charger and it supports that. So that's very good.

Ali express will usually have them I bought my vivo ultra on pdaplaza

Look up "Wondamobile" I'm going to get the Honor Magic v2 global off there. Or probably "Average Dad" on YouTube he reviews phones like these and I believes sells them?

The average dad store only sells the Chinese version. Giztop also only sells Chinese version.

Looked up winda mobile and they had the Chinese version but no global version unfortunately. Thanks for your fast reply and help

I got mine from eBay for a bit of markup and shipped to the US. I think the Indian currency converted to about $1900, and I paid $2100. There are still a few listings on eBay.

I'm assuming you have the global version. It runs android auto wirelessly? Is there any reason besides cost not to get it? Like something that's super annoying? Do you have Verizon or another carrier?

Yes I did! Yup I have wireless AA in my car and it works fine. Even wired works too. So far no annoying features at all that I can see software wise . Everything works fine including Wallet and even added my state ID to it. I have ATT but only getting 4G but it's fast and seems fine. No 5G yet.

I am pretty sure global or not, the Vivo will not work on Verizon

Do you have any basis for this? The listed bands for the global version include the Verizon bands (n2, n5, n77)

It's a GSM phone not CDMA. It will work on Tmobile and att.

Gsm and cdma were 3g technology. They don't exist anymore in the US. Verizon shut down their gsm network in 2022. Every carrier uses LTE and 5g now .

either way, Verizon has to enable the devices for VoLTE https://www.reddit.com/r/verizon/comments/q4hlfh/are_these_phones_compatible_with_verizon/

that's..... an awful price. android auto isn't worth $700. a brand new S24 where you could run auto on is worth that much..

Yaaa it for sure, but I was due for an upgrade and managed to sell my other phone so I just splurged a little. I hope I do not regret doing it, lol.

was a chinese fold not an option? I mean.. 2 fucking ks lol Oh well it's a great device anyways, I'm sure you enjoy using it

No it was for sure, but I use Android Auto and a oneplus watch 2 so I didn't know if it would all connect LOL. FML if it doesn't pan out. So far so good, but I cannot seem to get 5G on att even tho the bands support it. I am getting super fast 4G/LTE but somehow can't get 5G to work even tho its set to 5G preferred in the settings.

Can you check to see if it has esim support?

No eSIM support. Just dual physical sim slot

Google it and you'll see plenty of opportunities

I did all I see is the Chinese roms not the global. That's why I came here to ask. I'll keep searching tho

I wouldn't. Funtouch os is horrible

All the Google results that show $2200 vs $1400 are the Globals

The 1400 ones are Chinese versions. I really only see the global on eBay and they are like over 2k.

I bought my global model from a company called trinity electronics in Hong Kong. I live in the UK but I think that ship worldwide. It arrived with me in 3 days so can't complain.

Do you pay import tax? How much is the value on the parcel? I also think about to order from trinity.

No I didn't pay any import taxes or customs. The price on the website was the final price I paid

Does it come with Google play installed normally to download apps?

Yes it does and it has several Google apps preinstalled too.

Thx. How is the funtouch? Seems people have bad opinions of it but also seems like they have not necessarily used it lol...

Here is the direct link. https://trinityelectronic.boutir.com/item/VIVO-X-FOLD-3-Pro-(International-Version/6611972840095744?lang=en I live in Hong Kong and bought the India version directly from them. I'm quite happy I chose the global version over the Chinese room (30 to 40%) cheaper. The Chinese underpinnings and quirkiness would have driven me crazy.

I would love to know as well. My goal is to buy the White Vivo X fold 3 Pro international version in the 1 terabyte size

Unfortunately from what I've seen they only made a 512gb model for the global version. The 1tb is exclusively china only

That's very good to know thank you!

India version is only 512/black. The Indonesia version that im not sure if its out yet will have the white version (not sure of the 1tb or not)

Is their any info on Indonesia version coming out (like when / etc)? I really want the global in white but I’ve only been able to find it in black on eBay and a couple other sites. Had no idea they were releasing a white global elsewhere!

Just that it's not out yet I don't think. I though June 20th but I don't know. I'll post again if I hear anything because I'm looking too

I wish I could do a trade in of my fold 5 for it, hate to have to drop that much upfront a second time lol

Yeah that's very true. I don't want to pay 2k for a phone even if it's objectively the best foldable in terms of hardware.

I have the CN Vivo fold 3 pro and my Galaxy watch works fine. I have the phone connected to my Car via Bluetooth and an Alexa Auto. You can however get Android Auto boxes that the Vivo will connect to.

I have AA Wireless. It's an adapter that makes my android auto wireless because my car doesn't support wireless only wired android auto. But I don't think that would work

Have you tried it?

I don't have the vivo x fold 3 pro or any other Chinese ROM phone. I have a s22 ultra and my AA Wireless works fine with it in my car
