I got so FED UP with my iPhone after the last update that I discovered it would fold perfectly, using a small vice.
If Samsung messes up Fold 6 by giving us the same thing again for 6 times in a row...(narrow screen... crease)... people now know where to go!
Samsung has consistently proven that they will NOT be bothered to make any significant improvement to their products if they OWN the market. Remember Flip 3 to Flip 4? They're essentially the SAME thing! Only when Oppo launches their Flip phone with a usable mini-phone-like cover display did Samsung then take the effort to out-do them with an almost full-screen cover display. With at least 5 other brands (Google, Honor, OnePlus, etc) releasing much better folding phones that's officially released outside of China, Samsung will have to outdo these competitors or else its market share will be bitten off in CHUNKS!
Got a feeling they will with the fold 6 to get ahead like larger front screen bigger inner screen and adding the s pen in the bottom like the s24 ultra etc
@matthewella8280 That would be cool. I personally don't mind no slot for s pen because I like a big s pen and don't mind carrying it in the case for that reason.
Yea stayed with fold 4 because of the narrow front screen issue. If fold 6 is more of the same then yes I'm jumping ship, seems xaomi will also be doing a global release as well.
Yep samsung better give the z fold 6 110 % or I'll get honor instead
I've learned one thing hard and clear. Reviewers tend to focus on specs way too much but not the user experience. Coming from a fold 4 to pixel fold. I can honestly say pixel is way ahead in overall user experience
They also all continue the ridiculous lie about how thin it is, a phone is only as thin as it's thickest part
I agree 100%. I've only seen one guy in Europe who focus what we actually want to see
Still using my Fold 1. Still love it but do like the newer ones with the bigger cover screen. As far as the crease, dont ever notice it and anyone that is going to whine about a crease dosent really need a foldable phone
I still like my z fold 5! Fold 5 has nice software features, samsung care, Dex, eco- system, tons of discounts & accessories, 7yr updates. I like slim display because it also causes you to use the larger display.
P.s. Just my opinion
you have ego issue, cannot admit Honor is better. FYI, I had the Galaxy Fold 3 AND 4. Today I use the Iphone 15 Pro max
I do agree the software is better on the fold 5 but the honor magic in hardware and design is lightyears ahead . I have the s23 ultra
@morm2173 you don't have an s23uktra all all cause nothing on any andorid phones is light years there's literally no tech that good at this time. His comment was spot on. Their software sucks but super fester smashes together, barely complimenting each other.
That's exactly why I can't use em longer than 1 month
@ThePeterR66 calm down its just an onion and I would also take the fold 5 over this just because samsung has better software to interact and utilize the the big inner screen...... sorry but not sorry
can you test the honor magic v2 in a torture test dirt/water/dust since it doesnt have a formal IP rating on it?
I have the Oppo Find 2 (Oneplus Fold). It also has an awesome screen both inside and out. No Grand Canyon down the middle and pretty much all the rest of these features. ALOT cheaper too with global rom. But slow on the updates and still on Android 13 but still pretty good to use.
Thanks for this tip will look it up
I loved the video and especially Wolverine's wallpaper, you can tell me where I can get it.
What launcher are you using?
Nice Video. I have been rocking the Purple Honor Magic V2 512GB since September(China Rom) and I have to say this BLOWS the Samsung Fold series out of the water when it comes to the hardware design. It is ridiculously light, even with a case on. I prefer the software of the Samsung but otherwise the Honor Magic V2 is sublime. I also have a Vivo X Fold 3 Pro which is also a SICK foldable as well. Samsung & Google need to bring it with the Fold 6 & the Pixel Fold 2. 📱📱🤳🤳♥️♥️♥️♥️
That wolverine wallpaper looks dope. A link to it would be great.
Jesus Christ!!! These prices are f###### out of control.
Who buys them outright though? I always finance and it's like 15 to 30$ a month I'll take that over 2k straight up anyday
Can you feel the crease when using the phone (like on the fold 5) and doesn't came with a s-pen and anti-fingerprint screen protector?
Love mine, love from Australia
Looks awesome but thing about the form factor... it's not really ideal for 21:9 or 16:9 videos with the squarish resolution. I see it would be good for some things but watching video it's not making use of all the screen, No one is watching square videos anymore. They should reverse design it... making the inner screen the priority and giving it a media resolution.
Correct.
How no one is bothered about that inner screen?
Wow!! Incredible!
Great review man but how does it compare to the oppo find n3 fold? I'm thinking of getting either one.. The honor sounds really tempting
I understand that they are soon launching the Magic OS 8 which should be more versatile, implementing also the Android 14 features and a lot more from Honor...so I think it's a "magic" deal to consider this phone
Please compare this with the oneplus open!😊
Other than the official stylus, any other recommended stylus that works with this?
Joh that south african English love your reviews bra
Thanks Jacob!
I got the VIVO X FOLD PLUS 80 WATT FAST CHARGE. 4 STELLAR CAMERAS. BEST FOLDABLE I EVER HAD SO FAR
The first folding phone with the return of the SD card is going to make a LOT of money.
Huawei mate X5
@@pachy444 that's a proprietary format. Will never catch on.
They will not bring back SD cards as they want you to pay for higher storage and cloud storage
Not really, you see Sony phones with SD card support but you don't see people rushing to buy them. As with the case with many other midranger phones.
SD card support, while I agree is a nice thing to have, is sadly no longer a feature that would drive sales sky high.
@@verbalhustleunlikely as of now, SD card is very slow by today standard. With internal pushing 256 GB and above (most flagship already use 512 GB as minimum and 1 TB for highest option), SD card becoming less important. The difference in performance between UFS and SD cards is huge. Their only use is for storing photos and music since they're too slow for 4K recordings and applications.
"no crease!"
*Shows crease everytime he unfolds it*
Ya cause I want a phone that bends but don't bend so I can't ever see A bend when it bends cause I bought it cause I wanted it to bend but not to bend
The inner display crease is clearly visible in this video. The crease looks similar to Fold 5.
@@user-cm6jg6pg5i Of course you gonna see a crease! it's a bending screen for f sakes. Are you guys even that delusional that in this era of technology that we still can make a bending screen without a crease??? But in the future when a company will make one we all gonna praise it for innovation?? these products walk so future foldable screen could run. And mind you as much as I love Samsung and still my favorite foldable phone (just because they have the best OS for it, Honor, Xiaomi, One+, etc make better foldable in terms of screen, functionality, CAMERAS,etc... Even at 1:16 at that angle, Zfold's crease would be noticeable but here It doesn't.
@@rckbrch
@BlueeyedDevil-ep5fn
My 3yr old Huawei Mate XS has no crease
SUPER BIG LIE i CAN CLEARLY SEE THE CREASE IN THE VIDEO... as always from China where nothing's honest!
They obviously paid this vlogger to highlight "NO CREASE"
I do agree the honor magic v2 porsche edition rsr and the Huawei mate x5, one plus open might be the best foldables ever w Xiaomi mix fold 3 .
THe best foldable to date! Awesome front screen, which is the best feature in my opinion, plus no crease basically. Cheers.
No the one plus Open is
I agree @PicasoEnt
Love mine!
How does this compare to the oneplus open?
How does it compare to Oneplus Open?
Nice review i need to buy me between honor v2 and samsung S24 Ultra , and that mini Ryu look amazing from where you bought it?
It came with the collectors edition of street fighter 4 if I remember correctly
Bro, great review👏👏👏👏👏👏👏......I subscribd u😊😊😊
Thanks for the sub! LEGEND
you forgot that the Honor is still running on Android 13 and an update to Android 14 is not planned until “from” summer 2024.
I prefer the Pixel Fold size easy to reach the buttons. Plus I still own my Z Fold 3 now 3 years old.
How long do you get updates with it? For that price I'd expect a minimum of 5 years OS updates and 6 years of security updates.
5 years security and 4 OS
Magic 👍
I wish they sold these for tbe US market. Love my Pixel Fold but these are so tempting
Able to share the Wolverine wallpaper pls. Thank you
Where is code and link to buy?
Hey, did the Magic v2 has something Like DeX?
Yes
Only issue with this phone is the software it runs, other than that it is the perfect form factor, I hope the Fold 6 comes close to this
How can I get that stock Pixel clock? I'm rockin' a Z Fold5.
Just downloaded the Google clock app
wireless charge?
just wanna ask how about the audio, the speaker is it loud?
It sounds very good in my opinion
Speakers do not sound as good as my fold 3 lol
If this phone hit U.S market, samsung will be in trouble
Shame that UK carriers aren't offering this, I'd upgrade from my Fold3 to the Magic V2
Just buy it outright. You'll save money in the long run.
it's available on their site
Which phone it is?
This smartphone is released 6 months too late internationally.
People who are willing to put $1700-$2000 into a smartphone, are certainly people who value the specs, but also and above all the software, the software tracking, and a good warranty.
And I think that the leaks of the future Galaxy Fold 6 and Pixel Fold 2 with their design changes, and especially their 7 years of update, will lead many to wait to see what these smartphones will look like, not to mention the OnePlus Open which has positioned itself as a major competitor.
The speakers on the Samsung Fold 3 is a lot louder than the V2. And i like the secret folder better than the parallel space. Besides these two, the V2 is a lot better
Microsoft Duo 2 has no crease with its dual screens, and the screen is not vinyl.
"...~Its sharp, its bright its fast and these are 3 words that are never used to describe me~..." OUTCH XD
Time to upgrade my Fold 3. If Samsung disappoints me with their upcoming Fold 6, I guess this phone could be the next best alternative. I wish it had the latest CPU and wireless charging.
that wolverine wallpaper pls?
Does it have google services official support?
Yes it does
best way to close the phone with one hand?
Nice phone. Several things not so good but the difference in price is crazy. 6 months ago this phone was launched in China for 8999 CNY. That's 1167€. Even with taxes this phone should not cost more than 1389 €. But honor ask for 2000€.
Where's the honor in this? 🤔
There is no profit in honor.
If you use a trade in option (£200) when you order and the early bird voucher (£200) you get a total of £400 off, just ordered mine online for £1299
@@mark964 Why is the seller listing the item at a higher price than they're willing to accept?
@@mark964 I do not get these discounts in my country... None.
@@LV2355 no idea, I've used the vouchers and getting mine now for £1199
Are you sue no crease?
I see crease very clearly despite your efforts not to show it. Why not? It's a nature of the foldables
I hope the zfold6 or 7 will be like this
zfold 10 maybe 😄
does it have android auto in the global version ?
Yes
Yes it does
Where's you get that wallpaper
Whatgear.net/wallpapers
Hope he could of demonstrated more on stylus instead of skimming through so quickly.
Damn this looks good for a foldable phone I did not like the narrow screen of Samsung.
Since it’s so thin, they should make a double folding phone so it turns into a 16:10 aspect tablet
i returned my honor v2 because its too wide for one handed use when folded.
It's not ROM, That's "Read ONLY Memory", just call it Storage. Or technically SSD.
The Inner Display has 2500nits even
Ouch !!! That price is steep
It is more or less the same price as a Fold 5, and in some markets it is even cheaper!
Does it come with Android 14?
the update to a14 has been released some days ago
Love the fold 5
That's because you've not seen honor fold vs yet
@redking88 I watched a few comparison videos it was a lack of availability that was the issue.
Best is oneplus Open / oppo find n3
The design of this foldable phone is exceptional; however, its software detracts from its potential to be the best in its category. Regrettably, the subpar software experience hinders its overall performance and usability.
Good foldable design should not force you to always open the inner display. It should be an additional perk you use when YOU need like ANC on earbuds. Looks like they nailed the design. Software wise though i heard samsung and one plus are ahead on those fronts
I can’t even get it for the US
Does the lightsaber will come out at the screen, for a long term usage?....like S Fold......
huawei and honor devices are usually more durable than samsung and oneplus
It heats up easily you can fry eggs
Wallpaper pls 🙏🏻
Whatgear.net/wallpapers
The one thing Samsung never grasps; many of us would actually prefer a wider front screen to use as the primary screen, so we can open the folding screen only when necessary...
Name is theme …¿
Haha yes the first to notice 😆
can I use it in the US?
I bought one couple of daya ago and on T Mobile I am a happy user. It gives me 5G most of the time. This phone is really incredible. I am a smartphone geek and it is not easy to impress me.
This is my dream phone❗
The hole punches ruin this phone. Why? It folds open. Use the back cam and front screen for selfies.
It clearly has a crease!
Where is it sold?
So the phone is amazing but I can't count it in because u can't really use it in the u.s.
We have folding phones but people are crying about a crease? Wow. I feel like, that's a wtf
I've been using my zfold 3 for over 2 years and I never pay attention to the crease. I'm never going back to a standard phone
But still cant beat samsung fold s pen software n function..samsung too way ahead with their s pen..with that massive price with just less crease n thinner n bigger..u will realize that u need better s pen n software to utilize that big screen
Nice phone but camera not so much.
not as good as the oneplus open, but better than fold 5, and I have the samsung
where is flipones
too bad that big screen isnt optimized for anything
What planet you from? That's old news bro....That phone has been out for a while now
Thin Phone = Broke phone with low battery ………..
0:33 😂
Google Pixel Fold is the best folding phone.... If you dont know now you know! Best camera No bloatwarewonderfull features not seen on other phones
Would you please compare it with oneplus open
I wish I could, unfortunately I think OnePlus doesn't know my channel exists
If samsung do the same thing i will go to one plus fold 2.
Ignoring the camera bulge when stating the measurements of a phone is basically a complete lie.
I didn't do it on the iPhone either....🤔
1:08 It's not ROM, its flash. ROM would be useless to you!!
I literally see a crease. Lol
I'm waiting for the fold 6 so if samsung screws this up I'm out
I'm to trade immediately my S24 ultra for that "bomb".....😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏻
