I'm so glad I found this man's channel. Not only are the reviews pure and honest, but he reviews phones from all over the world and not just the big three in America. So refreshing too see
Agreed, the American channels act like there’s no other phones apart from Apple, Samsung, OnePlus etc. It crazy seeing them heap praise on the Z Fold 6 when it’s like two generations behind the Chinese manufacturers, which you can happily buy and use in the US.
@@bobsworth7082it's unlikely we will see Google/Samsung get as thin. They probably can't go thinner than the 9Pro Fold because they just dont have the hardware

This channel is underrated, Ben is an amazing reviewer, not only reviews amazing phones, but he is comparing different phones all over the world! Because of your reviews, I know exactly which foldable to get
Ben may not have the editing like MKB, but me personally I feel like MKB has been stagnating for a while. Overrated the boring content reviewing the big three over and over and over again....
Excellent videos... I just discover you today and saw severals of your videos and this is exactly what we need. The truth and and honnest comments. You are able to explain for every one depending who we re what is good and what is better depanding who we are. Excellent... I follow you
I found that many European and American enthusiasts are very interested in the stylus, in fact, this is just a gimmick, or really in use, few people will take out the stylus now, how can there be so many people who like to draw
Less drawing and more freehand notes. Sitting in a meeting or conference and being able to add drawings and non-linear notes is a lot more useful than basic text entry @@ytyt8888-c7i
@@ytyt8888-c7i Everytime I hear someone mention that this has stylus support, it's never followed by what kind of stylus support or which stylus works, if it's only a Honor branded one or a more universally accepted USI based stylus? I'm not clamoring to get this phone let alone a stylus to go with it but if reviewers and commentators are gonna mention stylus support as a selling point, you may wanna elaborate further. I don't even think Honor even mentioned it before supported in their official promo materials.
@ArthurZakaryan23 This is equivalent to a bonus function.,In fact, the official didn't do publicity around this.,It's just a mouthful.,I don't think the painting experience on this screen will be very good, brother.
As someone who usually has his favourite sites for reviews on my tech, I'm blown away by how much useful the content in this video is, and Ive not watched a video from you before today. This video has helped alot as I'm considering the V3 but also comparing it to other foldables Cheers
My wife uses her Apple Pen (or whatever it's called) on her iPad pro all the time. I've never had any need for a pen or styles on any of my phone's or tablets.
Good review! In Europe we do get more brands so it's interesting to see how they measure up. I'm super happy with my Honor Magic 5 Pro but I have been considering a foldable...
This was a frustration for me with the surface duo was that there was no way to run three apps concurrently outside of picture in picture. The LG V60 allowed you to run split screen on one half, and then another app on the dual screen and then a fourth app with picture in picture. It was strange that the Microsoft always had the public praise for being a multitasking device when the V60 was so much superior.
That sort of feature gets techies on YT excited, but it is niche and almost worthless to the average user. There are good reasons why LG went bust; these features did not sell phones. Even with the much-praised Samsung software, again in techie-land, sales are falling as hardware is far more critical for most people. Very few of us want four apps open on a small 8-inch device, especially when you need to use the onboard keyboard.
What people don't seem to understand is if you live in the USA, there's no support for these phones if something breaks on them you just lost $2000.00 .I would love to buy a vivo3 xfold but if something gos wrong im screwed there's no support here ,there great phones theres no doubt but for china and Europe.
Chancing upon the Huawei Mate 7 ten years ago opened my eyes up to how Chinese phones were comparable if not superior to Samsung/iPhone, that price advantage has closed a lot now, if not non-existent. Had to bin Huawei (last was P30 Pro) when the Google ban happened, S21, S22, F3 and then to iPhone14PM (battery is excellent). Think I’m back to Android with Honor Fold V3(rebranded Huawei in all honesty). Just wish the battery life was better
Sorry, not a rebranded Huawei. Huawei sold the Honor brand to Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology Co., Ltd in November of 2020. So Honor has had no relation to Huawei for nearly four years now. Get with the program.
I decided to go with magic v2 at 999euros, just amazing piece of art , hardware,screen ,slim ,camera, battery life . Very comfortable at hand . Pixel is nice phone but taking in to account price at the moment magic v2 is amazing multitasking. Nice review !👍
I'm really contemplating about buying the V2 instead of waiting for the V3 because it's like half the price of the V3 and the phone is still pretty amazing but I haven't made up my mind yet
Waiting for this video as I'm considering these two as the only good options considering the hardware and the price range. Of course OnePlus Open is also a considerable option.
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
Great job, Ben. Your analysis is on target, concise, and true. I have been following you for a while. I currently have the Z Fold 6 and Oneplus Open. The Chinese phones are nice. Samsung is falling short and not giving all that we want. I give it to Google for trying to make thier foldable phone better. I believe Oneplus Open 2 will be the phone to beat in the US eventually. I am considering the global version for Honor V3 fold. Thank you for your review.
Very good comparison! Thanks for that. 👌I have a quick question. Does the Windows "Smartphone Link" feature work with the V3? So I can copy text on my PC or phone and paste it on the other device?
I'm still torn between these two lol but I have to say this is the best review of any phone I have seen! Well done Ben, you've just gained a new subscriber 👍🏻
I have been waiting for this comparison, i have pre ordered both and thorn on which one to keep. With the free bang and olufsen headphones and pen that comes with the v3 i think that would be it for me even though i am going to miss on the software experience and quick updates
Ben, Love watching your videos thank you! Ive been using Iphone forever and wanted jump to these lovely foldable phones. Which phones would work in Sydney/Australia?
As someone who owns foldables from Galaxy Fold 1 up until now owning the Pixel 9 Pro fold ( 6 foldables and 2 flip phones) I think you got every single aspect of your comparison right!
Honor magic v2 has floating apps, all media apps (what's up,insta) can be displayed on top of splitting display as floating apps, so multitasking is positive and possible.thanks for the effort and nice video ! What you think is the best smart watch to use for magic v2?
Thank you for your videos Ben! Covering the actual latest and greatest tech without the vacuum like view of the reviewers in NA. Also are you going to do a review of the xiaomi mix fold 4? Looking forward to seeing your future videos :)
Another great comparison.👍 in terms of hardware there is no contest, Honor by a landslide. Software, well I never used MagicOS so can't comment about that. Pixel UI is good but I too find it a little bit to restrictive.
At 3:47, you can read restaurant name very clearly from Honor photo, where Pixel has completely blown up the text. Anyway, what's your best pick in terms of monster camera, best battery, software and overall between three phones: Magic V3, Vivo Fold 3 Pro, and Xiaomi Fold 4? Already got her Samsung Fold 6, not completely happy, but it was safe option. Need to get one mine now. I am truly after Huawei Tri fold device, but software... Not sure if can manage that lol
After watching a few of your videos today, I think I am selling my Pixel 9 Fold that I got yesterday and preordering the Magic V3. I tried it in a store and the weight and thinness alone won me over (that Pixel is CHUNKY, especially with a case) but the multitasking part is what finally convinced me. Floating windows FTW.
Enable freeform window under developer options, thank me later. And dont forget Enable non-resizable in Multi-window too otherwise you will whine about that it doesnt work for all apps. You know why its in dev options for years? Cause dev's dont implement it properly.
I subscribed great video, i have a S24 ultra as my bar phone, but decided to go get the Honor V3 as a foldable phone it looked stunning i love the thinness and how you can multi task with ease.. don't get me wrong its by no means perfected but hopefully by the V4 or 5 it will be and im sure by then it will make all other mainstream ones looks pathetic.
I love keeping up with what is going on outside North America in foldables. Someday, the global market will open up and we'll have some great phones! (not that I dislike the Pixel 9 Pro Fold)
3:31 Honor Magic is giving a Ultra version hardware quality at a midrange price. While other phones such as the Pixel foldable is giving just a little above midrange hardware at a premium price. I think Google and others need to make two models a midrange quality for $1400, and an Ultra version at $1800 price range. 7:12 Google need to fix this multi-tasking problem, they need to have both split screen mode for apps and floating windows that can resize for apps. Split screen and floating resizable windows are must-have features. 😎💯💪🏾👍🏾
Nice comparison. Really good side by side. Just to note, you CAN get rid of the search bar and At a Glance by using a different launcher. But that's likely true on any Android device.
I got Honor(M6P) and Google(P8P). I live outside USA. Pixel is good but it's so limited outside USA in terms of capabilities you cannot get all it's capabilities If you are outside US. While the Honor hardware is superb and their OS is improving everyrime. In terms of camera it's Pixel as alot of noise compare to Honor. Not planning to buy another Pixel because once again I am outside USA and I cannot enjoy it's full capabilities while on the other side I am planning to buy the new Honor's tablet and Laptop because of the Magic Ring. Also Magic Portal killed it alot better than circle to search. Once again AWESOME review Ben!
Maybe it's just me, but two things I can't stand about V3 design: 1. front screen having no symmetrical corners as evident at 1:38 2. inner display camera hole not in the corner like in the Pixel
@@rolins3279 pixel has more bezel for sure, but equally rounded corners in the front screen, whereas V3 has different angle comparing left and right side. Not speaking about the hinge or bezels, but the screen corners. Those bother me more than they probably should. :)
Great comparison video. 2 things: Magic V3 misses too many bands for North American carriers to be viable for me. On the Pixel, activate Freeform in Developer Options for a crude way to have free floating windows until Google officially addresses it.
Great review. Im in the US and haven't pulled the trigger on the foldable format yet. Samsung's form factor is just not going to do it for me. I'm considering the Pixel, but as you point out, there are two things i can't get over: jarring left upper bezel on the main front folded screen and multitasking window limitation!! Why Google??
@@bensgadgetreviews picking a 2024 foldable from a longterm usage perspective is a bit of a pickle for people in my region: * the Z Fold 6 has longer lasting (7 years software updates) and more mature software, but Samsung Indonesia is notorious for rejecting warranty claims * the global Vivo X Fold3 Pro has way less lasting (3 years) or mature software, but Vivo Indonesia is famous for giving free repairs even after the phone is out of warranty
It seems only videos can have a popup on pixel if you have it open. I can have split screen and a TH-cam video playing at the same time (3 apps) for example. Not the same as honors feature but I don't multitask that much 😅
I never could really put my finger on why i didn't like the pixel UI but you've said it best, pixel UI feels restrictive and bland. 2:10 we don't need all the angles on it, but i get your point tho
I had this on order, but cancelled after trying to contact support with no reply. Also worried if it breaks how long it will take to repair. Also majority of reviews seem to be paid promotions and now seen a few videos where there is lagging on apps and some apps not being able to be closed etc. Specs looks good, but just dont trust the software and support yet.
I have had the V2 for eight months and it is great. As good as Samsung with battery and performance. No issues with bugs or stutters and updates are regular. There will be 4+1 of Android updates and security in the fifth year. I would not hesitate to recommend. Ignore the Samsung Knights and Pixelfans that claim otherwise.
@@bensgadgetreviews Look at Magic OS Settings, notifications, search and Control Center, they are heavily themed around iOS. Pixel UI may be copying the features of iOS but it has its own theme, namely Material Design and is distinctively different.
At the end of the day it comes down to warranty support. You can easily get the Z Fold/Pixel Fold replaced/repaired if you have any issues. If something happened to these Chinese foldables you might get left with an expensive paper weight. I don't know about Honor, but some with the OnePlus Open have reported it takes weeks if not longer to get help with their with warranty. Y

Chinese Foldables are way better than Pixel and Samsung's Z Fold Series in terms of hardware.
Recently Chinese brands have also uped their game in softwares. They just need to be consistent in updates
The build nice but software support is bad maybe 2 to 3 updates plus security updates are also important. Insurance again none.
I care more about software and security updates. I would definitely buy a Chinese foldable if there were supported in the U.S.
@@mrwilliams8623 lucky we are not from America and not caged with that stupid trade policy. Hahahhh
But it's completely opposite in terms of software. Can't we just get one with both? Please? For the love of God?😂😭

Great comparison video. 2 things: Magic V3 misses too many bands for North American carriers to be viable for me. On the Pixel, activate Freeform in Developer Options for a crude way to have free floating windows until Google officially addresses it.
Great review. Im in the US and haven't pulled the trigger on the foldable format yet. Samsung's form factor is just not going to do it for me. I'm considering the Pixel, but as you point out, there are two things i can't get over: jarring left upper bezel on the main front folded screen and multitasking window limitation!! Why Google??
Thank you for your video
The bezel on the google phone works for folded landscape gaming if you want your palms to not touch the screen.
Thanx for Detailed comparison sir, but sadly I couldn't grab Honor in India.
How you buy one and trade in
But is it worth it to import the Magic V3 without warranty,
over buying an official foldable like the Vivo X Fold3 Pro with official warranty
Oh if you can get the Vivo x fold 3 Pro that's even better.
@@bensgadgetreviews picking a 2024 foldable from a longterm usage perspective is a bit of a pickle for people in my region:
* the Z Fold 6 has longer lasting (7 years software updates) and more mature software, but Samsung Indonesia is notorious for rejecting warranty claims
* the global Vivo X Fold3 Pro has way less lasting (3 years) or mature software, but Vivo Indonesia is famous for giving free repairs even after the phone is out of warranty

Hi Ben
Why would you get the vivo X fold 3 over the honor magic V3?
Do I ship the Honor to China if I need repairs?
So which one worth to buy?
It seems only videos can have a popup on pixel if you have it open. I can have split screen and a TH-cam video playing at the same time (3 apps) for example. Not the same as honors feature but I don't multitask that much 😅
I never could really put my finger on why i didn't like the pixel UI but you've said it best, pixel UI feels restrictive and bland.
2:10 we don't need all the angles on it, but i get your point tho
I had this on order, but cancelled after trying to contact support with no reply. Also worried if it breaks how long it will take to repair. Also majority of reviews seem to be paid promotions and now seen a few videos where there is lagging on apps and some apps not being able to be closed etc. Specs looks good, but just dont trust the software and support yet.
Finally someone speaking some sense. There’s lots of hype and paid reviews out there. The OS is just a Chinese copy of IOS, no originality.
Hey you do what you want. But my video is not sponsored at all.
I have had the V2 for eight months and it is great. As good as Samsung with battery and performance. No issues with bugs or stutters and updates are regular. There will be 4+1 of Android updates and security in the fifth year. I would not hesitate to recommend. Ignore the Samsung Knights and Pixelfans that claim otherwise.
@@Obi396funny you say this when pixel UI clearly following iOS
@@bensgadgetreviews Look at Magic OS Settings, notifications, search and Control Center, they are heavily themed around iOS.
Pixel UI may be copying the features of iOS but it has its own theme, namely Material Design and is distinctively different.
At the end of the day it comes down to warranty support. You can easily get the Z Fold/Pixel Fold replaced/repaired if you have any issues. If something happened to these Chinese foldables you might get left with an expensive paper weight. I don't know about Honor, but some with the OnePlus Open have reported it takes weeks if not longer to get help with their with warranty. Y
Ok I ain’t ever said any of y’all should buy it
