4 years of OS updates and an extra year for Security updates is a huge win. Usually the Chinese phone manufacturers don't offer much when it comes to updates. At least compared to their rivals anyway.
Honor are known to skip major updates. For example it's on Android 14 now. But you'll never get Android 15. They will wait to years and give you Android 16.

Honor is THE BEST tech company right now. I'm a fan. Rocking Honor Magic 6 pro, honor watch 4, honor earbuds 3 pro all flagship levels for way cheaper than competition.
I would still choose Samsung because of software and security. My last Samsung device was Note 10+. My current device is Mix Fold 3, a much better spec overall. However, it still struggle in term of software experience and stability. It glitches occasionally especially when switching from outer to inner screen. Just hoping Samsung could at least bump up the charging speed, it is just so slow.
Honestly love my Honor V2, the user experience is just what you instinctively expect without it getting all technical, just works as it should and the experience is always rewarding and fun. Will upgrade to the V3

i hope im this rich by upgrading every foldables i had LOL. i imagine myself wait for the full 5 years support to end before buying a new phone with that price tag!
Foldable is the future 100%, i'm using a Mix Fold 2 and it's the most used tech item in my daily routine (among 2 PC, 1 tablet, 4 phones), i basically carry a tablet in my pocket, if i need to work insanely heavily tasks on the go i can remote access to my workhorse PC and the screen unfolded make it super comfortable to use, not like a tiny screen on the old phones. And don't even talk about games or medias... they are amazingggg on the big screen. The new tri-fold from Huawei is on my radar, if only they release a global version with google service then im in !!!
@@youssefandrif9553 really great, just a few strange things like notifications not showing for some apps. The dual screens are great but need more apps to support split screen mode.
Samsung and Google are slacking behind because they can get away with it Not just the Honor Magic V3, but also the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro, Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 all have better designs and hinges, but since so many of them are china-exclusive, they don't pose a threat to Samsung/Google. I'm glad that Honor and Oneplus are bringing their foldables to the western market to show that Samsung really have to up their game
to anyone asking.. the global magic v3 works on verizon, tmobile, at&t and all the other usa carriers but you need to import it, sites like wonda mobile or averagedad and then put your sim card in it. however you may not have wifi calling
I gave up of my S24U in favor of Honor Magic 6 Pro and I am so happy about this!Better battery life,fast charging,Si-Ca with more density,better design,screen,sound and nearly same camera ,except telephoto and selfie!Honor is a good brand who don't over charge you for same copy paste phone,year after year!
U sure u know how to use all the function of your S24U? The Bixby routine, Dex...and I don't know what kind of voice assistance it has if Google is not on there

I switched over to the Magic V3 from the iPhone after 10 years with Apple and I don't regret it so far. It's an amazing phone and 2 months in I can't change back to soap bar form. It gives you the best of everything. By far the best foldable to date.
Having issues with mine. Returning it tomorrow. It's slow, glitchy and will not fast charge. It takes 45mins to charge 23% with the 66watt charger... never mind. It was fun for a couple of days.
I watched the presentation and they went to some lengths to say how durable it is. They even showed it being thrown and put through a wash cycle in a washing machine!
Nice review! I've had the global version here in the U.S. for two days. Love this thing so far! Software is much better than expected and I'm coming from iPhone. It is working fine getting 5g on AT&T using physical sim.
I think the biggest drawback for foldable phones atleast for me is the lack of full display video option.. no one wants to watch with big bars top and bottom.. that really spoils user experience.. one of the reasons to get foldable should be to enjoy contents on bigger screen when the video size remains almost same as non foldable phones it does not serve much purpose.. yes multi task n all is fine but not someting that you would be doing very aggressively..
Great review, thank you! Have been using it for more than a month now (imported from Hongkong) and I've been really happy with it. Honor did an awesome job 👌
With the discount I ordered for £1399 and got the Pen / 66w charger / Some nice headphones. Thats a great deal compared with others. Looking forward to it replacing my Pixel Fold. Great overview of the device.

My only problem with foldable phones is that typing can be a drag when the phone in unfolded as it can be tight and when unfolded it can feel like they are too far apart. What i really like about the v3 is that when i used it the typing is easy and flawless, faster than on my samsung. The camera is superb. The folding hinge is barely visible most of the time. And it is really, reallllly thin. I love this phone. Want to buy one for myself. I used my colleagues v3 and i am quite blown away. Not sure if i wanna get this or the triple fold one.
The triple fold is expensive and the battery is lacking as well as the durability, anything can destroy it. I'll personally will buy next year the Vivo X fold 4 pro.
When buying the v3 make sure you get it from honor and get the screen cover as I broke mine and got a Price of £700 to replace the inner screen as it’s not covered by the warranty
im currently maining this phone and it's far better than my s23u. One thing I've read online about this thing, is that it also has 2 way satellite connectivity (the China version at least)
Bought this phone. Have raised the return today. Reasons listed. 1. The foldable screen is quite plasticy and does not look or feel premium. 2. The aspect ratio of videos dont get corrected if you are using apps like linked in and instagram. Instagram videos will show in the middle if you click into, that is a relief in some format. 3. Once the leather cover is placed, phone is quite bulky and cannot be held for long in hand 4. The front screen feels good, but then why do you need a foldable if you are going to use only front screen 5. Too many pop up windows and tips. Have been trying to minimize for the last 2 weeks, have given up 6. The kick up stand is somewhat wierd. It is functional if you place the phone upside down. 7. Rubber beeding is provided as additional protection for the foldable part with front screen. Makes the phone quite thick and is not an easy fit in pocket or in mobile pouches. 8. Once the night mode is switched on, the phone looks quite dull and old. 9. Somehow after purchasing this phone at such a price, it feels very stale. There is not element of wow or novelty when you look at it. It functions smoothly no doubt.
Yeah. Athough it is less asymmetric than the cover screen of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Hopefully Honor makes the edges more pointy in the future, then it would look symmetric like the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Fold unfold fold unfold ... ... for 18 months-screen cracks from the middle. Foldable are nice, but I noticed a depreciation/life cost of around 50 to $100 per month on your phone. I can put a bold statement that any foldable does not live more than 12 to 18 months at best. It could drop to 6 months for nonserious issues like protector peeling. I appreciate really non advertising based channels to say that instead of giving fake promises. Having said all of the above, I will most likely buy the Magic V3. Fordables are nice, but I hope the thin design does not worsen the numbers.
The "Dust Resistance" on the Z Fold 6 is just a marketing exercise because it's only "4" which means it's protected against debris 1mm and bigger.. which means it is not rated for protection against dust or even sand. "Rice protection" is all it's good for.. it's better than no rating at all but until it's 5 or 6 for dust it's basically meaningless. As for water ingress, they could go as far as Sony does and offer X8 and X5 (or X6) because these lower numbers are often harder to pass as they test with pressurised jets of water, where the submersion tests are static and shallow, so there is no real pressure on the seals. A great IP rating (but realistic for these devices) would be IP58 + IP55
Damn that's so impressive from an engineering perspective. I'm way too deep in the Samsung ecosystem to ever escape unfortunately but I'd definitely have went for this with the pre order discount/bundle they have going on.
Getout while you still can. What ecosystem? I thought most if not all Samsung made accessories for galaxies phone would work with any other Android phone.
Looking forward to that honor ecosystem video review... Pls also review more of their products ie their laptops... Thanks for an amazing review as always.
I was thinking to buy honor v3 but i end up with Vivo x fold 3 pro because i can't live without a good battery a very good camera and i play games and vivo is the winner of 2024 🏆🏆🥇🏆
I found you from your V2 review last year and have been refreshing your page daily to see what your thoughts are on the V3. So glad to see that it's an overall great improvement! And even happier to see that you kept the same jumping/in-motion picture scenario, haha!
Amazing phone... HONOR, Please bring an ultra version of these. Please prioritise the stylus... remove bluetooth from stylus...very poor battery life of stylus. Please sell the stylus to us... smaller nib please as well. And improve the notes app. I LOVE THE IR BLASTER... PLEASE KEEP!!!
I love use HONOR phone...but many users for magic VS model face the inner screen damage. my phone 2 time in one year... so so so disappointed… what say HONOR about that?
Thanks for the video. Does V3 have different home screens like Samsung? Also, does the software have support for app pairs, edge panel, Multi tasking with 3 apps, pop up apps, spen support, and Dex like functionality?
I just went to the store to check out the Honor Magic V3, it is really sleek and classy feel and smooth. But when i check Samsung, it is bulky and i don't like the design it feel like 10 years ago design.
I’ve benn sing iPhone singe iPhone 3gs with small drifts on android now and then. This is the first time I’m considering switching. This phone is awesome.
Not many people buy Samsung fold in China. Samsung raised the price by 300 RMB the second day after the launch conference in CH. Today, the price of fold6 is about 859 pounds. I bought a brand new buds 2 pro for about 46 pounds in July. During shopping festival Double 11, Samsung is the cheapest when it gives away earphones and a 45W charger. Many people in China like to buy the Hong Kong version of Samsung, which is cheaper.
Super impressive & I would buy one tomorrow but I can't seem to get away from Apple Pay & the Apple watch which is what keeps me buying Apple equipment. I wish that I could get away from them now but I'm stuck!
I gotta try an honor phone someday. My fav android UI is EMUI but since huawei isn't really thing anymore outside of mainland China, I'm left with honor since they were part of huawei once upon a time
I think the flip folding phones are better form factor, as can fit easily in the pocket. This kind of form factor is a pain in the back side, as pockets are too small for phones like that nowadays.
I like what Honor is doing where pressure is building up for bigger brand companies. As a consumer is a win with choices. But with big promotions for my country in Singapore without the need for trade in, Fold 6 is going about 30% off. I am really curious about the software as One UI really is great.
The camera quality is really good. Especially the video on that rear facing camera. If it had the same standard of mic as the iPhone or S24 Ultra. It would've definitely been the better phone for taking video vlogs.
Yo, I just got the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. I was considering something different, but the repair cost put me off. How's the warranty on this thing? V3 fold
The Honor Smart Phones Technical Capabilities Are Par Excellence Than Hardly Struggling To Survive Samsung & iPhones..... Best Of Luck Luck Huawei / Honor & Keep It Up..... 👍
This phone looks great. I'd like to know the camera quality objectively compared to the Samsung Ultra lineup or compared to the Pixel and iPhone. I'd also like to know how good and secure the OS is compared to Pixel and Samsung.
I agree @MattyRRG Vivo x fold 3 pro is a mile ahead of honor v3 , but I can say honor v3 is N2 foldable in 2024 . In another words Vivo is the best foldable in 2024 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I am a massive Flip fan, but the Folds, I have never been bothered about, but this looks brilliant, love the fact it is as thin as it is. ( on a random note, what make or your green trousers in the outside video?, been looking for some similar for ages lol ) great video.
If you were to choose between Magic v3 and Oneplus Open, which one would it be ? The differences between the two are tiny in my opinion and appreciate this is subjective, but wondering what would tip it over for you in favour of one of these ?
Still prefer my Fold6... tbis probably isn't as robust, software is probably going ro be glitchy and the warranty and customer care will probably be non-existent. And when you come to trade it in this will probaly be worthless in a couple of years.
Ordered mine at 13:57, still no delivery date. Bet they sent mine to a YT reviewer 😂. Will sell the Bose headphones. Also getting cashback from Topcashback. One thing to note in the review.. Honor /Huawei did the dynamic island thing before Apple. Lots of reviewers imply it's being copied from Apple on the latest Magic OS.
I think the phone is great but I’m just not a fan of the software skin. I had the MagicPro5, great phone, fantastic hardware but I couldn’t get on with the OS and the resale value was appalling!
We were saying that every year, assuming the 6 would be on par with recent Chinese hardware. It isn't anywhere near, so switched to the V2. Now a convert (it's sooo impressive) that I'm trying to talk myself out of the V3.
Genuinely does seem like the best foldable hardware on the market right now, but I still think I'll be upgrading my Fold 4 to a Pixel 9 Pro Fold this year. I'd like to know what Honor's software update track record/timelines are like. Ultimately my main problem is that Honor isn't on the carriers directly and I get a large discount (50%) on one of the carriers at the moment...
Be warned, ive heard one reviewer say that the google fold malfunctions with some apps when opened....i was gna get it, but that has put me off and might get honor now
I’m wondering after being on iPhone all these years… the dramatically drop orders of iPhone 16 if should go for this phone instead of IPhone 16 pro Max?! After all my experience with huawei was really good! iPhone always let me down in terms of battery!!! Cheers!
I'd love to see a comparison with the OnePlus Open. Did I see it right that the Honor has a similar super glossy inner screen as the Samsung Fold 6? I really really love the anti-glare finish of the OnePlus Open screen, and I don't understand why Samsung didn't use the same technique. The can do it, see the S24 Ultra.

I was thinking to buy honor v3 but i end up with Vivo x fold 3 pro because i can't live without a good battery a very good camera and i play games and vivo is the winner of 2024 🏆🏆🥇🏆
As a die hard Apple user how does the operating system compare? Looks seriously impressive for a foldable with some great features
This phone is a great phone even without unfolded, the unfolded is the cherry on top. Putting in a 8 Elite will take foldables to the next level.
I found you from your V2 review last year and have been refreshing your page daily to see what your thoughts are on the V3. So glad to see that it's an overall great improvement! And even happier to see that you kept the same jumping/in-motion picture scenario, haha!
To be honest with you, i really don't care about AI. All i care about is a functioning phone.
This!!!
@@Mr4321ak yeah
I like your honesty. Honesty is the best pharmacy.
@@judeervinsen2648 That is new.
Real
Samsung Fold 6 available in smaler phone shop retailers for 1250euro brand new with 2 yr warranty here in Ireland.
Really?? that's an incredible deal
That is the real price. And Honor v3 coming fast from behind will push even morel@@Thetechchap
Amazing phone... HONOR, Please bring an ultra version of these.
Please prioritise the stylus... remove bluetooth from stylus...very poor battery life of stylus. Please sell the stylus to us... smaller nib please as well. And improve the notes app.
I LOVE THE IR BLASTER... PLEASE KEEP!!!
Getting mine tomorrow, NGL I'm really happy you can still do 0.6 photos with this one... I love taking pictures of my cats in 0.6 😂
I love use HONOR phone...but many users for magic VS model face the inner screen damage. my phone 2 time in one year... so so so disappointed… what say HONOR about that?
Thanks for the video. Does V3 have different home screens like Samsung? Also, does the software have support for app pairs, edge panel, Multi tasking with 3 apps, pop up apps, spen support, and Dex like functionality?
Yes to Dex and wireless Dex equivalent (Magic Desktop), pen support on both screens, two apps side by side and two pop ups max at once.
I just went to the store to check out the Honor Magic V3, it is really sleek and classy feel and smooth. But when i check Samsung, it is bulky and i don't like the design it feel like 10 years ago design.
Recently got my V2. I'm crying...
Need a honor trade in program...
They’ve got one but there offerings are shocking
Haha I got the v2 a few months ago but tbf I'll keep this for a few years before I upgrade now. Can't fault the v2
AI software will be updated in v2 later
I’ve benn sing iPhone singe iPhone 3gs with small drifts on android now and then.
This is the first time I’m considering switching. This phone is awesome.
The setup and visuals are on par with the quality of the phone 👌
Not many people buy Samsung fold in China. Samsung raised the price by 300 RMB the second day after the launch conference in CH. Today, the price of fold6 is about 859 pounds. I bought a brand new buds 2 pro for about 46 pounds in July. During shopping festival Double 11, Samsung is the cheapest when it gives away earphones and a 45W charger. Many people in China like to buy the Hong Kong version of Samsung, which is cheaper.
In your opinion between magic v2,v3 or pixel fold 2, or OnePlus open, or z fold 5,6 here in USA East Coast?
I'm too invested in my S24 Ultra but this beast has got me looking
Love your videos. Just convinced me to get the V3, swapped out my V2 for it.
Hey, great vid!
Why didn't you mention price and where is it being sold (you said UK but where else?)
Great slim phone, but we need a Video comparaison between this, pixel fold and zen 6 fold, and oneplus open
Vivo x fold 3 pro is the best in 2024 🏆🏆🏆🏆🥇
I love that your video have a lot of time for the camera. that what I wonder with a foldable camera. Thanks and have a nice day. subscribed!
Super impressive & I would buy one tomorrow but I can't seem to get away from Apple Pay & the Apple watch which is what keeps me buying Apple equipment. I wish that I could get away from them now but I'm stuck!
I will definitely choose this hardware ahead of anything else. Just not convinced on all the rest i.e. durability, software, support etc.
I gotta try an honor phone someday. My fav android UI is EMUI but since huawei isn't really thing anymore outside of mainland China, I'm left with honor since they were part of huawei once upon a time
You'll feel completely at home with Honor then. I made the same move.
I bought a midrange HONOR 200. It feels much premium than the competition at that price range
I think the flip folding phones are better form factor, as can fit easily in the pocket. This kind of form factor is a pain in the back side, as pockets are too small for phones like that nowadays.
I like what Honor is doing where pressure is building up for bigger brand companies. As a consumer is a win with choices. But with big promotions for my country in Singapore without the need for trade in, Fold 6 is going about 30% off.
I am really curious about the software as One UI really is great.
Hate it when all tech youtubers claim you can't see or feel the crease... it is there and for a person with OCD is infuriating :)
With that big camera bump the thickness is actually the same :lol:
3:04 left > quality/style right > cheap look
this phone is so gorgeous and amazing. makes apple look like old tech
The camera quality is really good. Especially the video on that rear facing camera. If it had the same standard of mic as the iPhone or S24 Ultra. It would've definitely been the better phone for taking video vlogs.
Yo, I just got the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. I was considering something different, but the repair cost put me off. How's the warranty on this thing? V3 fold
The Honor Smart Phones Technical Capabilities Are Par Excellence Than Hardly Struggling To Survive Samsung & iPhones..... Best Of Luck Luck Huawei / Honor & Keep It Up..... 👍
This phone looks great. I'd like to know the camera quality objectively compared to the Samsung Ultra lineup or compared to the Pixel and iPhone. I'd also like to know how good and secure the OS is compared to Pixel and Samsung.
Please please please can you make a comparison between Honor Magic V3 and Huawei Mate XT Tri-Fold? 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I've had folding phone for two years .Thickness is the most important thing, because as a mobile phone you must be able to hold it with one hand
Please review the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro before you decide on what the best foldable is :)
fair point!
I agree @MattyRRG Vivo x fold 3 pro is a mile ahead of honor v3 , but I can say honor v3 is N2 foldable in 2024 . In another words Vivo is the best foldable in 2024 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Great Video 👏🏻
Unfortunately, I can't get good clips with it. I'm doing something wrong.
Looks amazing, if I wasn’t already invested in the Apple ecosystem I’d definitely buy this
Wow, that looks like the foldable done perfectly
Love every aspect of my magic V2, won't be going back to Samsung after decade if loyalty
Does the honor V3 come with Google android as standard straight out of the box?? This was my only concern whether to potentially buy one or not?.
I am a massive Flip fan, but the Folds, I have never been bothered about, but this looks brilliant, love the fact it is as thin as it is. ( on a random note, what make or your green trousers in the outside video?, been looking for some similar for ages lol ) great video.
Im seriously thinking of jumping the Samsung ship to Honour or OnePlus
Great Review and very attractive device.
Does Honor Magic UI allow to change icons?
If you were to choose between Magic v3 and Oneplus Open, which one would it be ? The differences between the two are tiny in my opinion and appreciate this is subjective, but wondering what would tip it over for you in favour of one of these ?
Still prefer my Fold6... tbis probably isn't as robust, software is probably going ro be glitchy and the warranty and customer care will probably be non-existent. And when you come to trade it in this will probaly be worthless in a couple of years.
Epic phone and damn they whoop ass of the others... I will see if i can order it ASAP
Ordered mine at 13:57, still no delivery date. Bet they sent mine to a YT reviewer 😂. Will sell the Bose headphones. Also getting cashback from Topcashback.
One thing to note in the review.. Honor /Huawei did the dynamic island thing before Apple. Lots of reviewers imply it's being copied from Apple on the latest Magic OS.
Going to Japan at the end of the month, $1250 not bad
I think the phone is great but I’m just not a fan of the software skin. I had the MagicPro5, great phone, fantastic hardware but I couldn’t get on with the OS and the resale value was appalling!
Honestly as a zfold user this phone making me want to switch. But I'll wait to see if samsung gets their act together
I switched from X Fold to V2. V2 is way better. The Z Fold feels like I'm carrying a brick. Now ordered the V3 for the upgrades.
Sorry, typo. I meant Z Fold 3, not X Fold.
Only if they stop copying Apple
@@Ajay-vm5kz yeah they gotta stop that
We were saying that every year, assuming the 6 would be on par with recent Chinese hardware. It isn't anywhere near, so switched to the V2. Now a convert (it's sooo impressive) that I'm trying to talk myself out of the V3.
Genuinely does seem like the best foldable hardware on the market right now, but I still think I'll be upgrading my Fold 4 to a Pixel 9 Pro Fold this year. I'd like to know what Honor's software update track record/timelines are like. Ultimately my main problem is that Honor isn't on the carriers directly and I get a large discount (50%) on one of the carriers at the moment...
Be warned, ive heard one reviewer say that the google fold malfunctions with some apps when opened....i was gna get it, but that has put me off and might get honor now
I’m wondering after being on iPhone all these years… the dramatically drop orders of iPhone 16 if should go for this phone instead of IPhone 16 pro Max?! After all my experience with huawei was really good! iPhone always let me down in terms of battery!!! Cheers!
I'd love to see a comparison with the OnePlus Open. Did I see it right that the Honor has a similar super glossy inner screen as the Samsung Fold 6? I really really love the anti-glare finish of the OnePlus Open screen, and I don't understand why Samsung didn't use the same technique. The can do it, see the S24 Ultra.
No he said it's less reflective. Even showed it in the video.
Honor 🔥 is underated phone brand😀
Will current foldables hit the point where the thickness (or thinness) of the phone decided by the size of the USB C port?
