I'm really not understanding what Samsung is doing by being so passive as most other foldable devices are passing them by. The ONLY thing Samsung has is the best software experience. Other than that, they are getting blown away by almost everyone else in the business.
They think people will live with the hardware because they're locked into One UI. They saw very bad sales on the Fold 6 so hopefully that will change their mind. I canceled my Fold 6 preorder and got a Magic V3 from HK and really love the amazing hardware. The software is really underrated too, very close to One UI on terms of features.
I literally just commented on another channel that I wasn't into foldables yet.. Now Honor is already making me rethink that statement, getting closer to making the switch
I got my Honor Magic V3 with £300 off, a free Honor Watch 4, free Honor Magic-Pen (stylus), free Earbuds X6, free 66w charger, free 6 months screen replacement for both screens! Not to mention the free case included which is actually a really amazing design case! All came to £1,399. Direct from Honor UK, and arrived in just 4 days from ordering!
@SALTArcadeAddict you say that you didn't need them, but, the headphones are super great!! The fast charger is unbelievably quick, I go from almost flat to full charge in a blink, so fast! The watch is ok, but I had the Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra and it works perfectly on the Honor Magic V3, I will be honest I've not really used the pen yet, I did pair it to the phone which you have to plug it into the phone to do, but after that it's actually a cool stylus pen. So yeh is a shame but I think the free stuff were just a early order thing, so once they had sold a certain amount they stop the free stuff, like most companies do really.
More like Google imo even with their new Pro Fold that just got released. High price for low specs. The Z Fold 6 isn't perfect but it does what it could do great. It's the only foldable that has DeX and separate home screens for folded or not. It's the only foldable that you could truly use with one hand without any shifting. It's not for everyone just like the iPhone mini but it's nice enough to always be an option imo.
@@volcalstoneyou can do a gesture to use one handed mode on the V3 or use one handed keyboard, I use mine with 1 hand all the time (it's shorter than the Galaxy which helps). And magic OS has desktop mode which is competitive with Dex. I've been using it for a month now (imported) and really love it. Their software is underrated IMO.
Same. My Pixel 9 Fold Pro is going back- very disappointed by the software and the hardware. The Magic V3 looks great, just ordered one. I don't like the look of the stock OS but there are always launchers!
£1,300 for early bird offer Honor deserve to get the business I'm sorry Samsung but you have lost the Fold market the cameras on this insane wider coverscreen and better opening ratio.
They don't want US or Canada business. Not sure why but I believe it is because of the problems with US & Huawei. We won't get any deals. It doesn't matter, because we have OnePlus Open, which was so far ahead of all the game that they skipped a year, and OnePlus Open 2 will do it again to beat them all as it always has a lead.
microphone quality was awesome. But comparing the naked phone to ones with a case on and saying its slimmer is a bit much. Its such a slim phone it didnt need that.
I have the same phone, had it a week now, and it tramples over my Z Fold5! My one difficulty is opening the fold, as it's so thin, it can be hard to open, lol but that really isn't a big deal as the front screen is completely usable 🙌
thank you for reviewing it. I would love to get one when it's available in USA. Could you please tell me or send me the link where to get it, thank you 👍👍👍👍👍
@@kyleperren1893 Ok that might be my end November December switch up then especially if it's the red or green one the only thing that might hold me back is the software more research needed. Also I'm used to daily using a PixelFold original and I love the fold form factor
love yourcontent my man, though i cant afford the phones i love your honest takes. Keep doing what you doing, mad respect from kenya my brother, wow , that honor phone is well crafted and future proofed.
I just got one and I'd need to send it back to the retailer in Europe for repair (I got 2yr warranty). I'm keeping my prior phone as a backup in case I need any hw support with the magic v3.
you can import it from most 3rd party sites and i think they give you 1 yr, but your pretty much on your own, it works on usa carriers but dont expect much support.
I'm living in Ecuador for a bit and the selection of phones is much more than the US where it seems the only phones are Samsung, Apple or Pixel at least that's what get reviewed most, there are so many out there at a cheaper price point that includes a charger,case and some still add earphones and my Infinix 8 has a headphone jack! Most of us only use our phones to watch videos and listen to music and don't need a flagship phone, is my Infinix 8 camera the best no but I really don't need a top of the line camera. The Infinix 8 also has duo sim card and expandable storage slot which is what I really like. Nice to see another brand outside the usual big three.
So does it use a pen? and how is the software compared to the z fold? cause I can do 3 things at once when it's unfolded on the z fold the software is very important
So hardware wise the V3 is the best on the market. My concern with using it in the USA is no service centers to fix if it gets damaged. That's why the Fold 6 is dominating here in America. For example me, I'm using a Fold 6 completely naked (Well with a skin). And I know that If I destroy it, Samsung will fix it asap or just plain give me a new one for a deductible. That peace of mind is what keeps Samsung winning. And unfortunately that also means that they don't really have to push the design because there's no good competition outside of the Google Pixel Fold series.
@@jtec99 Definitely, I forgot about OnePlus. Another good option. Their insurance and repair services are a bit wonky. But still better than anything from China just because of what I mentioned. Peace of mind. I'm too clumsy to not have insurance
@@jtec99 I feel you. It's definitely something to think about. I used to baby my devices until I realized I was paying insurance for a reason. So now I'm more careless with my phones because I know Samsung will take care of me. I love how all these Chinese folds look but I just couldn't use it here in the U.S.
It looks great just have questions. Does it have any kind of flex mode? It also looked like it didn't opens flat does it? Also can you have a different outter display setup then your inside display? Thanks for the great video!!!!
Great video, congrats, I'd love to see a comparison of this phone with the magic pen vs z fold 6 with the s pen! I'm an architect and I use it daily to work. Used to have a Note 10+ and upgraded to the z fold 4. I was convinced I was switching to the z fold 6 with an integrated s pen this year but surprise... no dice!!! I've been checking out this phone, but I'm worried the pen experience and UI aren't as good as Samsung's.
Since im still well within my return window seriously considering returning my pixel 9 pro fold and buying this instead. That massive outer screen, great cameras and zoom, lighter, a bit thinner, way bigger battery.... Too bad we cant order direct from honor UK they are giving a 300 pound discount plus adding in the charger, pen and some other freebies!
Hey thanks for showing us the phone but when you show us these cool phones could you provide a link or maybe we could order one or get one cuz that would be helpful anyway thanks again looks like Samsung and Google need to Wake up.
Normally like your reviews, but even though we know (from other reviews) how slim it is why compair it without a case against other phones with a case? Not a fair visual comparison though we know it's the thinnest.
I didn’t even think about it. It was just an approximation. I didn’t plan this. I was just sitting there and conveniently had there phones sitting there so I grabbed them. Plus it’s pretty obvious that this phone is significantly thinner.
I see youre using T-Mobile. I'm seeing different listings showing different band support. Some show b71/n71 some don't. Have you seen a n71 connection on the phone?
Samsung have a real problem if they don't COMPLETELY change the design of the Z Fold7, unless they start producing phones this amazing, for this price, and with the extras included, id say they have pretty much put the last nail in the coffin for their foldable phone sales, they need to completely change it! I've now fully adapted to my new phone and id even say i feel the software is just as good as One UI.
Thanks for the review and showing the Global version does work on T-Mobile network, and perhaps other U.S. Carriers. I have a few questions hope you can help. Does Google Pay work? What about Android Auto? and lastly more specific, does Digital Key work for vehicles? Thanks!
The last year, Honor Fold grew up in sales a lot(in Europe). They have great preorder deals, and they tend to go on for the entire year with different gifts... So yeah sammie should rethink their strategies atleast in markets with more options. This looks amazing, probably the second Fold I'm really interested in after the 1+ Open. Also, Honor has a Dex-like mode (I don't know what it's called)-they've had it for a long time now, basically the Huawei's Dex moved on to Honor. I believe only three brands have it-Samsung, Motorola, and Honor (Huawei too, but we don't count that, right?). So yeah... has pretty much all the features and more. Just on ai its behind
Great video once again Do you actually keep all the phones or do you sell them on? AverageDad also does a lot of videos on foldables and he now has store where he sells phones he doesn't need anymore
@Dk-qf8dd nice. Do you know if there is any software features that may be blocked. Such gpay , Android auto or anything being that it's technically not supported in the US?
@@waseemal3951the global version will have full google suite and android auto. If you buy the chinese version it wont have android auto but you can still install google apps on it
I tried it at the store a few days ago. The hardware is impressive. Magic OS is pretty smooth now. It mimics iOS, which to me is a good thing (to some people they can say they copied). The only weird thing is, for several apps in the demo unit, I find that the display doesn't give you full 120hz refresh rate (ie. TH-cam, and some others). On the fold 6 it's not the case. You can argue you don't need 120hz in TH-cam, but when you're scroll, it's just too obvious it affects the experience; and it occurs in some other apps too. Also if you don't buy a new phone every year, the Fold 6 won't look outdated that fast and it has longer software support of 7 years (if Samsung really "honor" it or not it waits to be seen). If you're looking for an all in one as a daily driver, the Magic V3 is a compelling choice. Wider front screen, flagship spec cameras, thinness and light weight. The Samsung seems to have more mature and reliable (and more customisable out the box) software. Its Knox security (software + chip setup similar to Apple’s solution)which is certified might be important to some people. For value per dollar, it's really hard to compete with Chinese brands.
I'm loving my fold 6. Wish it was a lil thinner but it's very sturdy. Honor looks great but don't trust it's software. Waiting on the reviews of the software to convince me further but man it looks good
Samsung owners really need to wake up to the reality that OnePlus Open answered all their desires, and next version will finally beat all competition. Even this Honor device. IMO, I am currently having better software experience than Samsung, with the OnePlus Open, combined with using Google default AI apps (Phone, Contact, messages, Gboard, photos) onto the phone. I had two generations Samsung, then switched to the Pixel Fold with its handicapped UI (only 2 app multi). I have Dex alternative as well as better hardware all around. Plus this unit's design has the Sweet spot dimensions for one handed use, that Samsung was supposed to have. It also has dual screen stylus support & UI blaster. It trounces Samsung.
@@Maxx134a I like OnePlus as well. But, when it come to foldables in the US I'm sticking with Samsung at least one more generation to see what they do. But mainly because of their software and good lock. But OnePlus has always been one of my favorite manufacturers so we'll see what they do next year
I mean I just got the P9PF. And I said it year and year again that Google/HTC where like 2-3 years behind in hardware compared to the competition. And as much I like my new Pixel its hard to dismiss what Vivo, Honor and Oneplus are doing. Especially because many way Samsung/Google have the software lead. So far I must say my P9PF does not have the best software experience. Really tempted to test this one out. I mean just have a look at the left side of the screen when its closed how little you see of the hinge. On the Pixel there are literally 4mm between screen and the edge of the hinge. Also even thinner while havving the bigger battery and better camera system where Samsung and Google say they cant make it thinner, making the battery bigger or the camera better.
America might not like it very much, but certain parts of Asia love the saturation that Samsung has for whatever reason and even parts of India I like that as well with their own.
Hello thank you very much for this test I hesitate between the Google fold 9 and the v3 when I watch your video it comforts me in this idea, do you think it is really better than the Google? I only take very few photos
The Google 9Pro Fold is having handicapped software User Interface, because it wasn't updated for a foldable. It has least options, limited to only 2apps at a time, and has two screen widgets that cannot be removed from home screen. Plus slow charging. Don't make the mistake to go with Google. If you want safer choice, look into the OnePlus Open
When I check the Honor website they don't offer it in the US which makes me wonder why you got a review unit. Will one of the European models work in the US?
Only Because they banned US& Canada, because they are a part of Huawei, which the US banned initially. For US, we can just buy thru 3rd party sellers, which is not a big deal, just loose the bundle incentives, OR just wait for the OnePlus Open 2 (!), which will beat out all competition, as they were 2yrs ahead with the OnePlus Open, which I have currently. Yes OnePlus Open is still competitive at 1yr old. I am currently having better software experience than Samsung, with the OnePlus Open, combined with using Google default AI apps (Phone, Contact, messages, Gboard, photos) onto the phone. I have Dex alternative as well as better hardware all around. Plus this unit's design has the Sweet spot dimensions for one handed use, that Samsung was supposed to have.

I went to the shop see the display but the screen wasn't as pleasent as i thought. Didn't really like in real so i changed my mind. I am thinking of going for one plus open.
The honor magic v2 porsche edition rsr was underrated hardware wise but the fold 6 special edition will have better software and ecosystem. Honor was doing great work
Wow 3yr OS update matches Samusng's full manufacture warranty. Good luck finding a rugged case or a service center before it cracks 'It supports stylus 'cool
It's the best foldable phone I've seen and felt in the hand. But I'm not sold on the ridge just yet. Still, Honor is killing it with hardware and software. R&D kings.

They don't offer 16G memory model.
Can you compare it to the oneplus open video?
Awesome review. Got a link to buy?
Great video once again
Do you actually keep all the phones or do you sell them on? AverageDad also does a lot of videos on foldables and he now has store where he sells phones he doesn't need anymore
Is it fully supported on the US? Would all aps and everything work in the US ?
The V2 is usable (5G) on T Mobile. What I am seeing in specs it is the same. I’m on Mint and they said it should work.
@Dk-qf8dd nice. Do you know if there is any software features that may be blocked. Such gpay , Android auto or anything being that it's technically not supported in the US?
Wonder why Samsung continues to underwhelm when clearly the technology to do better exists?!
@@waseemal3951the global version will have full google suite and android auto. If you buy the chinese version it wont have android auto but you can still install google apps on it
It’s working just fine for me on T-Mobile with 5G
What do you think about the Honor magic 6 pro?
I tried it at the store a few days ago. The hardware is impressive. Magic OS is pretty smooth now. It mimics iOS, which to me is a good thing (to some people they can say they copied). The only weird thing is, for several apps in the demo unit, I find that the display doesn't give you full 120hz refresh rate (ie. TH-cam, and some others). On the fold 6 it's not the case. You can argue you don't need 120hz in TH-cam, but when you're scroll, it's just too obvious it affects the experience; and it occurs in some other apps too. Also if you don't buy a new phone every year, the Fold 6 won't look outdated that fast and it has longer software support of 7 years (if Samsung really "honor" it or not it waits to be seen). If you're looking for an all in one as a daily driver, the Magic V3 is a compelling choice. Wider front screen, flagship spec cameras, thinness and light weight. The Samsung seems to have more mature and reliable (and more customisable out the box) software. Its Knox security (software + chip setup similar to Apple’s solution)which is certified might be important to some people. For value per dollar, it's really hard to compete with Chinese brands.
It seems li a ve good phone but I want to see the review after 6 months of use. 😊
I'm loving my fold 6. Wish it was a lil thinner but it's very sturdy. Honor looks great but don't trust it's software. Waiting on the reviews of the software to convince me further but man it looks good
Samsung owners really need to wake up to the reality that OnePlus Open answered all their desires, and next version will finally beat all competition. Even this Honor device.
IMO, I am currently having better software experience than Samsung, with the OnePlus Open, combined with using Google default AI apps (Phone, Contact, messages, Gboard, photos) onto the phone. I had two generations Samsung, then switched to the Pixel Fold with its handicapped UI (only 2 app multi).
I have Dex alternative as well as better hardware all around. Plus this unit's design has the Sweet spot dimensions for one handed use, that Samsung was supposed to have. It also has dual screen stylus support & UI blaster. It trounces Samsung.
@@Maxx134a I like OnePlus as well. But, when it come to foldables in the US I'm sticking with Samsung at least one more generation to see what they do. But mainly because of their software and good lock. But OnePlus has always been one of my favorite manufacturers so we'll see what they do next year
Just wait for the Huawei Mate XT, the first tri-fold phone.
Why would I want to subject myself the hassle of work around for Google to work? Besides, some banking apps won’t work. Pass
Yes but without Google's apps - it has app compatibility challenges.
no 1tb version???
Thin enough to use as a normal even if the big screen inside is sctached or spoils after several years.
I mean I just got the P9PF. And I said it year and year again that Google/HTC where like 2-3 years behind in hardware compared to the competition. And as much I like my new Pixel its hard to dismiss what Vivo, Honor and Oneplus are doing. Especially because many way Samsung/Google have the software lead. So far I must say my P9PF does not have the best software experience.
Really tempted to test this one out. I mean just have a look at the left side of the screen when its closed how little you see of the hinge. On the Pixel there are literally 4mm between screen and the edge of the hinge.
Also even thinner while havving the bigger battery and better camera system where Samsung and Google say they cant make it thinner, making the battery bigger or the camera better.
The thinner the phone the hotter it's gonna run especially if gaming or anything. Things like this never get mentioned
Can Nova Launcher be installed on it?
Does this phone work in the states?
So does google Wallet and Pay work on this phone, where u can add your credit card??
Where can we buy it
So , availability in US market?
How do i get one in the usa?
Sweet phone. Love that wallpaper!
Great video! Hopefully Samsung catches up!
Does it support stylus on the front also!?
Yes it does
@@davegillespie3948
If this works on Verizon it'll be my next phone!
How did you purchase it and how much?
That's what I'm talking about bro! 🎉🍻
How is the software working compared to vivo x fold 3, oneplus open, samsung fold, pixel etc?
How do you get one because they don’t ship to the states?
Trinity electronics
trinity Electronics, wonda mobile, broadwaylifestyle, averagedad, aliexpress... lots of places
Does this have pen support
But is it available in the US?
My only concern would insurance for the phone in the US, oh though I've yet use it with my s21u can't imagine having to replace a 2,000usd phone
Better to wait for the OnePlus Open 2
America might not like it very much, but certain parts of Asia love the saturation that Samsung has for whatever reason and even parts of India I like that as well with their own.
Where can I buy this phone ? I live in San Antonio Texas???? Please! 🚀🚀🚀
Honor also has wireless desktop mode just like Samsung DEX
Hello thank you very much for this test I hesitate between the Google fold 9 and the v3 when I watch your video it comforts me in this idea, do you think it is really better than the Google? I only take very few photos
The Google 9Pro Fold is having handicapped software User Interface, because it wasn't updated for a foldable. It has least options, limited to only 2apps at a time, and has two screen widgets that cannot be removed from home screen. Plus slow charging. Don't make the mistake to go with Google. If you want safer choice, look into the OnePlus Open
now we talking about GREAT!
Where to get it at
When I check the Honor website they don't offer it in the US which makes me wonder why you got a review unit. Will one of the European models work in the US?
Only Because they banned US& Canada, because they are a part of Huawei, which the US banned initially.
For US, we can just buy thru 3rd party sellers, which is not a big deal, just loose the bundle incentives, OR just wait for the OnePlus Open 2 (!), which will beat out all competition, as they were 2yrs ahead with the OnePlus Open, which I have currently.
Yes OnePlus Open is still competitive at 1yr old. I am currently having better software experience than Samsung, with the OnePlus Open, combined with using Google default AI apps (Phone, Contact, messages, Gboard, photos) onto the phone.
I have Dex alternative as well as better hardware all around. Plus this unit's design has the Sweet spot dimensions for one handed use, that Samsung was supposed to have. It also has dual screen stylus support & UI blaster. It trounces Samsung.
@@Maxx134a Interesting. Thanks
I went to the shop see the display but the screen wasn't as pleasent as i thought. Didn't really like in real so i changed my mind. I am thinking of going for one plus open.
The honor magic v2 porsche edition rsr was underrated hardware wise but the fold 6 special edition will have better software and ecosystem. Honor was doing great work
Does it have a desktop mode similar to Dex or Ready For
yes
How many years of Android updates and security patches with this one? Would you recommend over pixel 9 fold?
4 yrs software, 5 yrs security.
It looks like it doesn't open completely flat - does it?
What about the pro? There is a pro version too right?
Your thinking vivo x fold 3 pro maybe, honor has a lower model than this but not a pro version
dies this phone work in the usa and if so what carrier
When I buy it. Do I buy the UK version from there website?
I tried today, wont work unfortunately (at least for me in canada)😅
@@redstang70 might have to buy it on eBay LOL
Wow 3yr OS update matches Samusng's full manufacture warranty. Good luck finding a rugged case or a service center before it cracks
'It supports stylus 'cool
It's 4 years of OS update with 5 years of security update.
It's the best foldable phone I've seen and felt in the hand. But I'm not sold on the ridge just yet. Still, Honor is killing it with hardware and software. R&D kings.
It's not far from my OnePlus Open
How can I order this in the U.S. the Honor website only offers Asia Pacific, Europe, and Africa but no option for North America or U.S. currency.

@@Maxx134a Thanks for the response. I have most phones Z Fold 6, Z Flip 4, SurfaceDuo 2, iphone 14 Pro Max, One Plus McLaren, etc just because it's kind of a hobby of mine I'm 58 and I have a lot of fun with all this new tech, I did see the Huawei ban a few years back so I understand your comment info I was just wondering how all these influencers seem to get them so easy, I know Flossy Carter has a connection but it seems like they all get them. I have got to figure out a way to get that new Huawei triple fold, lol. Just ordered the Pixel 9 Pro Fold havnt had a Pixel yet should be here Tuesday.
Surprised you didn't call out that its not officially available in the US which is bizarre. Note also that it does have a desktop mode like Dex.
it does work on usa carriers tho, just need to buy it online and import it
