Good Review! 👍🏼
I get my Honor Magic V2 tomorrow 😊
Have to say having received mine Monday it's been a joy this week with it, keep up the good vids! 👍😎
I just bought the V2 today. Now backing my Huawei Mate XS 2 before transferring the file. Cant wait. Thank you for yr in-depth video.
🇸🇬
Nice work on the Subscribers! You just got another one! ❤
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks to your videos. I took the plunge and got the global version. (UK) i'm coming from a Z fold 4....and I'm super impressed with his device. Thanks for all the information you provide
How is the battery life screen on time compared to the fold 4 ? i have the fold 4 also thinking of getting the V2 or waiting to see what vivo 3 or z fold 6 bring
@@aleks4067 the magic V2 is wayyyy better in the battery department. I'm honestly getting about 8 to 10 hours SOT without really trying hard. I was getting nowhere near that on the fold 4. Maybe 5 or 6
Fantastic video, refreshing to see a proper review video, not one of those flashy ones. You touch on topics that matter to the majority of the people, well done Sir! Bought this phone, just arrived, looks beautiful, copying data from my OnePlus 7T onto this now wirelessly (copying via the cable didn't work unfortunately, it couldnt detect the cable)
I had to use A-C cable with A-C OTG reduction to make data transfer happen the last time I transfered data from OnePlus to Samsung.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
My pleasure!
Another great video!!! Thank you so much. Keep it up please !!!
Thank you! Will do!
Love the video, thanks Mike.
Glad you enjoyed it
Can't agree more. My love at first sight too. On my HK trip, when I saw it in the store, I immediately bought it. Even it was a Chinese version.
Really interested to hear your thoughts of the camera. The openplus open seems to have good reviews for photo quality but I'm really tempted by the magic v2
I'd wager the V2's cameras will be comparable to the Open at worst. It's even realistic to expect them to be a bit better, but both devices should be decent enough for 99% of users. Other than that, the V2 looks way more pleasing to my eye as a form factor. Something about the Open's proportions just bugs me. And the minimal crease on the V2 as well as being essentially as slim as a regular slab phone when folded just wins it for me. The new battery tech also is a big plus imo. The silicon carbon batteries, sadly, have yet to come to the global market from Huawei despite them being the ones who developed it. At least Huawei patented the technology two or three years back when I checked. Good to see that at least Honor started rolling out devices with it outside china.
I got mine delivered today! With the earlybird bonus and trade in bonus I got the phone for £1199.99 and hope to get a free pair of headphones too!! The display is great, when looking face on there is no visible crease. Such a good profile folded and opened up. Your reviews have kept me focused on biying this unit. I look forward to you sharing all of your information, hints and tips woth this great phone!
Another great video AD! I'm in the US and spent $2100 for mine. Should be here Saturday. Super pumped. Pulled the trigger because of your honest review.
Can you recommend a case with front and back protection along with the hinge?
I've been enjoying your content and relate with the love of tech! Kind of living vicariously through you with all the new tech you get. Any advice on the financial part for someone wanting to review new tech?
If you reach out on instagram i can talk through things!
Love you and your vids ❣️ go Mike 🎉❤
Thanks for all the content mait.
Question:
Did you find a way to log in to HONOR Services with Honor ID on a Chinese Honor device?
(mine is the HONOR Magic 6 pro)
Awesome video ❤
Thanks 🤗
thank you for this video, I want this phone I'm going to wait till the price drops
That kaftan looks perfect on you as does Honor magic v2
Great vid. Does this have desktop mode? So close to pulling the trigger on this
great review. but will v3 global edition be available this year or next year?
Great video, like always.
Samsung has built in object removal in photos, does honor has the same?
When I am on main screen can I get the notification of the private space?
Many thanks to you.
Have a lovely day
Q) Do you recommend still having a case/screen protector either on the inside or cover screen on the UK version? You mentioned it comes pre-installed, must be really thin since I am unable to see it. Any screen protectors you can recommend if one is needed?
can you connect the magic v2 with a television or monitor and does it have something like dex? are you gonna try that?
When will you post the full review?
I use this phone without a case. very comfortable. I just installed the safety grip sticker.
One other Question can I get the new case anywhere as love the hinge/dust protector.
Cheers
Do you know if there is a case that would work with a magnetic esr ring? Im used to it on my op11.
Im looking at ordering the purple on the honor uk site. Where is the best place to get a pen? Which mught work with a case
Thanks for the great review, are the fonts in the settings customisable?
Yeah im also interested if you can adjust font size cause in this video it looks like fonts are just huge.
The fonts he AD has setup are to help him with his impaired vision. He mentions this is one of his other videos.... you can personalise the text size and fonts, as with most Android devices the customisation is pretty good 👍
can you pls compare the internal screen under bright sunlight vs Galaxy Fold 5 on readability, thx
This phone vs iPhone 15 pro max camera which is better?
Great video as usual.. I have Chinese V2 and might pick up teh Global one too. Can you please tell me if the Global ROM supports eSIM?
No it doesn't.
Hi there, how many apps can you put on the screen I. E. Grid size? 4 * 4 or flexible?
Good morning
well I like your reviews since the chinese version and now I want to buy the global one, I wish if you could help me about my questions?
I already enjoying the software , dex, and stylus on my fold 4
Do the V2 can do the same functions, using a stylus and do it have a docking software as dex
Thanks in advance
Is this better than oneplus open? Software?
Hi bought my v2 in December from your site to Wonda mobile and yes they were fantastic ship Tuesday arrived Thursday lunch time to uk,They installed google services for me/google play etc and removed a lot of the Chinese Bloatware, Question is will my phone update to the full global version in the future as seem to remember you saying it would
Got Android auto installed but does not work and my Samsung watch will link for calls but nothing else,still some Chinese stuff on it and wondered if it does update to the Global rom will all that go.
Still a fantastic phone 512gb for £1185 in December.
Any feedback back much appreciated and also your site is FANTASTIC.
CHEERS MARTIN
Was gonna buy the oneplus but gotta say I'm liking this honor
Hey Mike, as always we all appreciate your content......After buying the v2 last week in the United States... everything is working perfectly except one thing. I have no microphone access whenever I'm connected to a Bluetooth device. Whenever I'm on a call, in my car, on my headphones, etc. I can hear the other party perfectly, but they can't hear me at all... As if I am muted. Any thoughts?
Picky question from me after just purchasing this. If I have a video on full screen, when I change from front to back or back to front, this loses the full screen. Is there any way of keeping this full screen when moving between screens?
any idea why on texts (mms) it limits me to 1 photo and no videos? cant find where to change this, never had this before on any phone.even when on wifi
I am thinking Of buying one.
Great content as always.. Does the global version have eSIM support?
sadly not
there were multiple ppl on honor reddit page saying global version has esim capability
Have to say my outer screen protector came off quite quick after 2 months max and since then picking up lots of scratches and scuffs on outer (not drops etc)
Does Honor's global version have less of a crease on the inner screen than China's version? Thanks, A.D.
Does it output video via USB-C to HDMI?
Best wishes from Germany good Videos
Thank you very much!
I'm on the fence about picking up a global Honor V2. Currently have a Pixel Fold in the US. Does launcher have Google feed on the left? Can you pin the dock like you can on galaxy fold and OnePlus open? Can't do this on pixel fold, drives me nuts!
Yes it does and you can.
I'm very interested in this phone or the Magic 6 Pro in global version. I live in the US so I don't believe I can purchase from Honor directly which leads to the no warranty issue. I really wish the US had Chinese phones available without warranty issues. I loved my Vivo X90 Pro Plus and also interested in the Oppo X7 Ultra but sadly no global version.
I just discovered your channel and thank god I did !
I am from Mexico, looking to change my Real me 7 pro (I know is old), what cellphone would you recommend for about 400 to 600 USD
Just saw your videos of Realme GT5 Pro and K70 Pro but I dont know if I should whait a little bit
Thanks for this conten !!!
Thanks for watching mate! Viva Mexico!
Not all countries sim supported in honor phones.. it is global but not fully... Please guys do check your country region before buying as volte services wont work everywhere n even while using 5g or 4g it won't work during call.. that mean your internet stop working during call n keep in mind even voice calls are supported thru internet n volte services means calls also will drop.. i m from india n here its not working i have tried on honor magic 5 pro n honor 9xb ..
Evening @AverageDadOfficial, there are a few things i would like to know, let's go!
1. Has the stiffness of the hinge improved compared to the Chinese version? Can the HMV2 stay open at more angles other than just 90 degrees?
2. Can you show video of the phone multi-tasking and swapping through windows or apps? Would like to know how it compares to the multi-tasking of the O+O.
3. Does the phone overheat badly if watching Netflix/YT or playing games for a long time?
4. Do apps make use of the full inner screen or do they have borders, scale badly?
5. Can you show gaming from a few different games using the inner and outer screens?
6. Do you have a link for the Honor stylus that is compatible with both screens? Is it worth getting a Honor stylus or are other stylus compatible?
7. Will there be new global foldables released in the first quarter of 2024 in the UK and will any be on contract
Thanks again for the hard work!
Question on the fonts. Are they so big due to a setting you're using or is that how it looks? Been very tempted by one but the interface on some screens looks very strange with odd formatting and as silly as it sounds I like a clean looking interface.
his is me... i make things massive lol
Mines waiting for me when I get home from work! 🎉🎉
Hope you enjoy it!
@@AverageDadOfficial you were not exaggerating, I can't believe how incredibly thin and light it is for a foldable. First impressions could not be better!
@@AverageDadOfficial I'm blown away
When do you get the Bose headphones ?
You have to claim them on the website. This will be subject to availability so don't get your hopes up as they may sell out given how popular the phone has been with he discounts
You need to do a comparison of this to the One Plus Open. Everthing from hardware to software.
already done that video mate!
Is there anyway to download this rom on to my Chinese version
. Please can you make a video on that
Regards
Thank you
Hi AD, thank you for all the great content, i'm a suscriber, i'm in the US and i'm interested to buy one, do you know if it would work here with T-Mobile also your recomendation on how to buy one that have google out of the box?
thank you in advance.
any answer to my question AD, any pointers?
Will wondamobile have the global version for sale?
They already have
wonda already has global for sale.
Mike, your sitting on the fence with regards to us all asking if its better than oneplus open 😂 im guessing as ur not saying yes, that means it isnt? Is OPO better software and more solid build?
How can we convert our wonda v2's to the full GMS on this global version?
Possible? Coming?
Q. It needs a stylus even if it's sold separately. Do you know if they will do one later maybe after a software update
what are you on about? the stylus works straight away?... what update lol
@@AverageDadOfficial where do u get one from ?
I have Honor magic vs should I upgrade to Honor magic v2. I am really confused when I compare the phone their really no different.
Don’t upgrade waste of money if u got a good phone already
Sorry, I'm sure this has been mentioned before. But isn't one of the colors thinner than the other and lighter? Between the different honor magic v2s
There is a variant with a vegan leather back which is 9.9mm thick, and there is one with a glass back which is only slightly thicker and heavier.
Just got mine today and I love it absolutely perfect 😊 just not sure how to use it can I put apps in alphabetical order can you help
Yes you can! 3 dot sin top corner of app drawer
@@AverageDadOfficialNo 3 dots anywhere at the drawer for me. Strange...
Honor Magic V2 bagus sekali 👍
I'm going to start calling you the magic man
Or... Magic Mike
@@AverageDadOfficial 🤣
I want a V2!!! But I had one, in the US, but it will not work on Verizon,,, will it ever be available, I thought that was what Global meant
You just said the V2 will work on at&t??? Do you know that for sure?
multiple ppl on honor reddit page have v2 working on usa carriers
Q: Where would I buy the stylus, separately?
?I want to know this as well, one that might be compatible with a case
Think Mike said Ali express
do you have any ideas about stylus function on v2 compared to galaxy fold 4 ,I already have fold 4 and afraid of software on V2 and may be behind the fold 4, I use the stylus for handwritting instead of keyboard too much
@@Visual_Ghoul
Will there be a video on the magic 6 pro? I can't choose between that one and the vivo x100 pro and oppo find x7 ultra... Vivo is back in the mix now with the global version that supports all the bands here in Sweden.
Hi ,Just opened my new magic V2 , could you tell me if I can get esim on it ??
Sorry mate, eSim isn't supported.
Hi average Dad, I am about to pull the trigger on one but do you get Android Auto? Have you tried connecting it?
I got one and yes android auto works on the global version
@@sj2847 Thank you very much for the info.
AD, Can I assume you will stick to your chinese ROM roots and keep us mere mortals updated on Magic OS8 integration and more importantly how to do it effectively?
Of course.. i am married to Chinese ROM, Global are my side piece!
On the Chinese V2 with Google services do u get notifications on time and all the app icons on always on display 😂😂😂
I do get all notifications immediately. No issues there.
I've been a Samsung fan since day one I've bought every model fold since it came out the only one thing I can't get use to it's how thick it is and the small front screen, I'm planning to buy the honor magic v2 but I'm skeptical on the software as its like the Huawei phones that look a bit cheap, would u recommend it to me been a Samsung fan?
Very informative, very specific on apps and daily usage like wear OS fir instance. A review that is making me really close to buying the V2. It still is very expensive but the launch price includes a 6 months screen warranty plus a Marshall device.
Thank you very much.
As a long time TH-cam listener, I've been starting in the last weeks to listen to new people because all those fancy millionaires TH-camrs reviewers have become very biased and non real people related in their reviews. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Would you say this is better than the OnePlus Open?
Would you?
Waiting for this answer lol
Waiting for this as well. Very close to purchasing either one of them...
If you love your money please do not buy oneplus
@@captshadab I thought OnePlus open is supposed to be the best foldable phone for now
If I get this phone does it work in the usa?
of course, but not on all networks
This phone or the OnePlus open?
Very close
@@AverageDadOfficialwell that’s not a definitive answer 😂…maybe a video between the 2 would be a good addition to the channel 😅
Honor v2 global no call recording please help
Not aware if this being an issue.... what do the forums say?
Does it work in the USA
yes many people on the honor reddit have been using it on USA networks (global version)
Just in addition: The font size in the video is ridiculous, usually everything looks very nice and clean... xD
Is it better than the OPO?
Very close
How close, Mike? Which one do u prefer better?
The Porsche edition could be the best fold ever w Huawei
Shame you can't swipe down for the control centre except by going to the top right
You can swipe down then across the
You have your IMEI # of your device in your videos, not sure if you care, but you should know that.
Convince me to buy a folding phone? Reason please? And what one thanks mate. Do you really use the open screen much? Is it not to square to watch movie etc. thank you
What about nova launcher ?
Yes, works fine
@@AverageDadOfficial really? Can you set it as default??
The fact that it's still on Android 13 is a testament to how late the device will be receiving updates. Has Honor been clear about what their update policy is for these international versions? Thanks for the video!
So is the OnePlus open for some reason
It's not an easy feat to update OS versions my guy. It's not a testament to anything. Plenty of devices ship with 12, 13 and 14.
Especially considering OS updates are no longer mutually exclusive with security updates, I think people have poor expectations on this topic
@@TAGE_FPV every other major manufacturer is operating on Android 14 for months now. If Honor wants to play with the big boys and charge big boy prices, they have to be able to deliver. Stop justifying corporations.
nonsense! most phones are still android 13... in 2 weeks it will be 14... not that it makes any difference
absolutely not true! get your facts straight!
Can I buy yours when you tire of it?
Yes
@AverageDadOfficial Question, how much is the device in US dollars?
And is there trade-in for a ZFold5?
Its cool but no way am i daily driving this over an s24u
I have had the delivery of both the Oneplus Open this week and the Honor Magic V2 (UK version), and today the V2 was sent back to Honor and I am keeping the Oneplus Open. I was not overly bothered that the V2 was a little thinner than the Open. The V2 was actually more difficult to open to full screen as it has round (plastic feeling) edges whereas the Oneplus Open has flat stainless steel edges similar to an iPhone. The software on the V2 is in my opinion nowhere near the polished experience of the Oneplus Open (or the ZFold 5). The V2 Software is just a bit clunky and not that intuitive when it comes to the main screen and lacks a variety of split-screen options that the Oneplus has in abundance (even more than the ZFold 5). Even the on-device video explanations on the Oneplus Open such as how its haptics work are just so polished, and that's the word I would describe the Oneplus Open with, it's extremely polished, whereas the V2 maybe has the crown of being thin but at the same time also being thin on the ground with its lacking software. I wanted the V2 to work for me as it was a cheaper device after all the discounts, but I guess you get what you pay for and the Oneplus Open is in my opinion the king of foldables for the time being!
A pass from me at this price. Sorry honor released too late in Europe. Oneplus open much much better
agree about release date... OnePlus marginally better... not much much!
