hmm i got the china rom version. all the important apps got to tinker with the notification settings.
i learnt to use adb commands to over ride the "android doze" , all notifications came except for 1) ms teams still wont get notifications till you lauch the app.... 2) telegram doesnt have updated badge notifications

but on my vivo x 80 pro which is a global rom, totally no issues with any app's notification. so for those considering to buy the global funtouch os vivo x fold 5 is a better choice. no need to deal with missed notifications.

as for the fold 5 atomic work bench, i quite like it. however if only the main app display area could be a bigger screen fit, if you watch youtube, alot of space (upper and lower) ends are not fitted full screen. thats a waste of the big inner screen while in atomic workbench interface.

I think China ROM battery life is better because they kill many background apps and notifications may be missing or delayed or some apps don't work as expected (e.g. auto sync or auto upload with cloud-based apps).

Global ROM seems to suffer a bit from battery life because of the notifications and background processes.

That's my experience with China ROM (Oppo X6 Pro) and Global (Xiaomi 15 Ultra).

In fact my 15 Ultra doesn't really last more than a day... can lose 5% overnight alone.

Possible.. or OS optimization... Most reviews put Fold 5 battery life as not bad only due to its 8 gen 3 chip...

And that's why I won't get Samsung. When I go travelling time is very important. I can't be waiting 1 HR plus to charge the phone.

Another issue.

If you see FB on the outside screen and when you unfold the FB app sometimes don't appear on the inner screen. Watch at 6:19

Wonder if this affects other apps as well? :rolleyes:

had the priviledge of owning the china rom vivo fold 5 for 2 days before i sold off. i tested the camera in vivo best denki. was surprised that the hmv5 20X zoom was clearer than the vxf5. overall picture clarity and details hmv5 seem better. but color science i prefer the vxf5, for bright lighting hdr and etc i felt that vxf5 did better.

eventually i ordered the hmv5, however in that 20 min of short test, i can feel hmv5 heating up very fast just by taking photos... the honor sales man also told me that because it has in built AI chips and thus it heats up quite fast.

Simi built in ai chip? Should be the neural engine in the 8 elite soc. Haha.

Saw this review, pretty user centric. At 5:45, he swipe up to app drawer, the apps are in folders. Magic os 9 can create folders in app drawer? Or this is only for China rom?

The phone mentioned is a 5820mAh battery so should be a global set
