WHERE I BUY?
Great!!!
It looks gorgeous and the outer display has usable aspect ratio. Good job, Honor
And aftet one day you will lose it on fietspad
I want something in between the samsung's and this one's aspect ratio, not too wide not too thin, which is perfect for foldables imo
But the inner display has trash aspect ratio
@@8tonystark8that's true. Gives you some space to read comments when watching videos tho, and still have large video player
@@8tonystark8 all inner displays are trash!
This should be released globally
It's not samsung...people won't buy.
@@shepherdkamumvuri1662 thats too understated bro. not everyone is a samsung fanboy
It is already available globally except America. I have switched from Samsung note 20 ultra to honor magic 5 pro and honestly honor magic 5 pro is a much better phone in terms of camera, display and battery life.
@@shepherdkamumvuri1662only in US. Europe and Asia will definitely sell
@@everstar8056 thats cool. Samsung is too overrated for me imo.
This is why I've always dreamed a foldable would be like. Absolutely beautiful.
Lighter than an iPhone,biggest battery on a foldable phone,lesser price than competition! Amazed to see this type of innovation and effort by Honor.Other companies should also bring these improvements.
The pixel fold feels like its 3 generations behind compared to this phone.😅
No wondwr it's Stock Android 🤣
it's all because of the bezels
Hello
10 not 3 😊😅
Now that is an impressive foldable
huawei mate x3 was impressive already, this is another level
@@xGuardedHoney53Musichello
By far the cleanest crease I've seen on a foldables to date. I'd definitely buy this.
Same , it's the first time i see myself buying a foldable
yeap same here this'll be my first foldable😋
Honor would be crazy not to release this worldwide.
This will cause a lot of problems for the Samsung Fold 5.
the only issue I see with that is patent issues. They might not comply with US law
@@TGMisKillingTheMiddleClass, that would be terrible if it happened.
Samsung and apple probably do everything they can to stop these guys from reaching the western market, successfully
@@TGMisKillingTheMiddleClassyou mean US greediness
100%
2:30
YES
finally phones are starting to head in the right direction with displays. Us few who are very sensitive to pwm basically just weren't allowed in the new smartphone space before because they'd always use really bad pwm frequencies.
This is the only reason I want Huwaie to be back in global market.
Huwaie and Honor in my opinion provide the much needed push to the overall innovation.
Samsung is getting stagnant in the foldable category because they do not have much of a competition.
Razer came with a good alternative and it made Samsung to upgrade its upcoming Flip lineup.
you mean motorola but yes, Samsung is getting really lazy, i have a fold3 for a long time and i hate the outer display, fold 5 will be pretty much the same, i want this honor but sadly we will not see it in Europe...
I also like Huiwaie a lot
@@mersimhOnePlus fold if that pans out. If that phone can be $1,499; easy buy.
@mersimh how do u know it wont come to europe? 90% chance it will come because magic vs got released globally
@@modestman6753 just read the info, yes it will be at thr IFA in Berlin in hermany on 1.9. cant fucking wait
This makes the Pixel Fold look like a prototype..
This looks absolutely fantastic, seemingly a really great job!
If the battery is as good as it seems and the camera matches some of the other Honor efforts this year, then I’d have one in a heartbeat…
…if there is no UK release then I’d even consider importing one, something I’ve never done before!
Importing is easy you just need to find out which model number works with your sim card where you are, I did it with my note 5 which I still currently have
If that device goes global, it's going to be my next phone. Looks amazing!
Iv got the zfold 4 and that's definitely going to be my next phone 😊
Same!!
It's all of what the competition should've been, can't wait for global release
This is a real Samsung fold killer
But people will still buy samsung instead of this
unfortunately this is only available in China
Nobody outside of China will buy this
@@shepherdkamumvuri1662because only fools would buy $1000+ chinese CCP state owned brand junk.. i would rather buy Korean and Japanese products .
The battery for this phone is as thin as a credit card, which is incredible
I doubt it's that thin lol
@@chronometer9931 It’s true you can see the battery on ben's gadget reviews channel
@@chronometer9931surprisingly it is. More like two stacked cards but yes, very very thin
@@chronometer9931 I would have said the same if I didn't watch ben's video already. It's STUPID thin.
They made it thinner, higher capacity, AND it holds it's voltage better when near empty than normal batteries.
Honor has been launching exceptional models this year especially with Honor Magic 5 Pro and now with this amazing foldable ❤
We really need these phones to launch globally again. This looks a generation or two ahead of everything else.
It's pretty... but as someone who really puts these foldables through their paces in a lot of use cases every single day... I gotta know about a whole lot more than just pretty...
... thickness, width and crease visibility are impressive on the surface, but when we get to the nitty gritty of actually using a foldable as a daily driver... there's so much that can invalidate this for me even if it's got thickness, width and crease visibility nailed down. Nothing I've seen so far lets me know:
• If it'll have per app aspect ratio controls
• If it's multi-tasking is anywhere near as polished, versatile and quick as Samsung's
• If it'll have an option like Samsung Labs does where I can force portrait apps to work in landscape
• If it'll allow me to force un-supported apps into split-screen/multiwindow
• If I'll be able to summon a pop-up window anywhere near as quickly as Samsung does
• If I'll be able to force ANY AND ALL apps/games (supported and non-supported) to wrap around that punch hole since they didn't use UDC
• If It'll have reverse wireless charging
• If it'll have wireless charging at all
• If it'll have video over USB
• If it'll have a DeX equivalent that can match or surpass DeX capabilities
• If it'll give me the ability to record 120fps (not slomo!) video
• If it'll have an IP rating of at least IPX8
I like that it allows stylus input on both display though, that's one box for sure that neither Z Fold 3 or Z Fold 4 check... and SD8G2 means that it'll still support all my 32bit apps/games.
I'm sure I've already aggravated the people who just blindly give the win to any foldable that has a wider cover display than Z Folds do... but I'm not loyal to Samsung. Not one bit... Samsung just happens to give me the absolute best software experience I've had on a foldable. If this can manage to be impressive in more than just the surface level stuff like thickness, width and crease visibility... my Z Fold 4 might be sold towards importing this instead of a Z Fold 5.
Hey Chaps! Would the Magic V2 convince you to buy a foldable??
Another CCP-phone full of backdoors which phones home to Winnie the Xi 🤡
No thank you.
@@nneeerrrd LoL. And USA s* y all over the world. And k** so many people
No because it not coming to my market
Yeah, not bothered about back doors as I don’t do anything dodgy on my phone. TBF I’d open the front door to save them the trouble😅
I have a Fold 4; I would be interested in switching, if 1) Google Apps are installed, and 2) crease is significantly less. Any chance you could do a side-by-side comparison of the fold 4 and v2 screens?
As a samsung user/fanboy for several years now and currently using the fold 3. This is the kind of phone that will make me shift from samsung. The fold 3++ or rather the fold 5 is just roughly the same as the fold3(if leaks are right), I think it's fine for the fold 4 to be the same but 2 models and it's still the same. It could even be called roughly the same design as the fold 2. Now my only concern here is durability.
great hardware is the best around hands down! my only concern would be software support on a regular base and for how long.
I thought the Pixel Fold was going to be the ultimate but this device, OMG
Pixel Fold sucks
Pixel fold is an outright bad choice for $1800.
It snaps in half if bent backwards and lasts 4 hours of screen on.
Instagram only shows with black bars on sides, making it the same size as a regular slab phone.
They screwed up big time
I appreciate the camera you use to record your content. Truly amazing.
Thanks! Cost a bit so glad it's appreciated!
Honor magic v2.. The end of regular phone's era❤
No no. Too much money
This is what the Samsung z fold 5 SHOULD be. That normal size outer screen.... so frustrating that Samsung didn't do that and what looks like they're staying with the slim outer screen SMH
This is the 15th time I am watching this video.... cannot wait for September
I think you should give more space to the fact both screens support stylus.
listen up samsung!
Yes. 😂
Honor are really upping their game. Banging out these great phones. Lets hope it's not just in China cos I'd actually get that foldablen, but I'd have to have an s23 ultra next to me too
Seems great, I'm currently typing this on a Huawei mate X3, which is very similar and also exactly just as great when using like a usual phone as it is as tablet and man, it is awesome indeed.
probably the first foldable I want to buy
Other flagship manufacturers should be worried...
I've watched honor recently released devices & they all look fantastic...
I'm seriously digging honor right now...
This is what Huawei should've been...
I interested to see the OnePlus fold now. Finally some competition. With Samsung raising the price of fold and flip as the rumors suggest, moto giving competition on the flip and google and one plus on the fold; will get interesting.
I was just about to go and buy the Z Fold 5 in the next couple of days. But I just came across this Magic V2 and as I've seen a few videos about it I'm not very sure about the Fold 5 any more. Should I wait for this to be launched in the UK or just stick with Samsung? I've been a Samsung user for many (10+) years and never had other then Samsung's flagships. But now I have the feeling that they aren't the leaders of the android world any more...or is this just an illusion?
I'm off to China 😅 need this as I have the s21 ultra and have held off now for the best upgrade, think this may be my new phone.. Thanks for the pre review
For those who never used a samsung device particularly s23 generation with oneui 5.1, it's easy for you to compare with any phone and say thats better, but once you used the device you started to realize how much practical ui and engineering goes through samsung devices
I swear every phone I look forward to never gets a global release.
Hi Tom. I'm a faithful subscriber, and have never made a comment, until now. I've noticed, slowly, that I wouldn't buy anything based on a review by you. It's great to see News, but you're a Review channel, and not a News channel. It's also great to listen to a nice guy being enthusiastic. But, with this article, it might be time to mention that, despite all the information you gave, it's the same information you'd get in a company advert or sales pitch.
The phone looks nice, but this wasn't a review. It was an advert.
I hate writing this. Others will obviously have a completely different view, I know.
I'm definitely going to remain a subscriber. I enjoy most of your content.
Sorry if I've caused any grief
The Thing i love about this foldable phone is the crease being barely visible!
That's how viewing experience should be!
I just ordered the Z Fold 5. Not as nice as this one but that phone is not available in the US with a warranty. I like the idea of a phone from S Korea or Taiwan as well.
it might be the first foldable that i'd be interested in getting
Finally a useful foldable 😍
Came here after being let-down by Samsung reveal today, if Honor will come to Europe - it will be my go to
I want to tell everyone, I’m in China and I’m an apple fanboy, but after trying this phone in the store I liked it more than the latest iPhone. 😂 In person this phone is even more insane!!! In the Honor stores in China they have a roulette spinning insanely fast and when you take a photo with this phone you can see clearly every detail of the images printed in this roulette, is the only phone capable of taking this kind of photos, is truly remarkable.
It looks amazing, holy cow. I would gladly pay 1500 for it if it goes global
1249 dollar on gizmochina
Honor showing Samsung & Google how to make a foldable. If it releases at £1500 in the UK, you’d be mad to buy a Pixel Fold. That is, if the software holds up.
Why do Honor approach you to do this video when their phone will (at least initially) mainly just come out in one country?? It’s an amazing phone but I’m confused as to why honor follow this path.
This looks like it might finally be the foldable I could use as my everyday phone
I want one. Writing this on my Z Fold 4.
the flex in the beginning its scaryyyyy
Normally i am more of a flip type person but with a foldable thats the same thickness of an normal phone, this phone is actually a candiate for my next phone if it gets available in germany.
BUt i hope Honer will use that tech and build a flip phone as well because that could easily be my dream phone
Thw design looks awesome. I like the width of the google phone bit the height it weird whereas the samsung is too skinny. This looks pretty good. They should go global with it. Would 100% sell my s22ultra for it lol.
20:9 outer screen looks amazing!
It really is!
Nice video and breakdown/analysis by you guys. I just picked up a mint 512GB Purple variant off Swappa for $1400 and am EXCITED. I just ordered it and it should be getting to me by today(10/2). I lived in Taiwan for 12 years so I've had Chinese phones in the past: Huawei, OPPO, Vivo, Xiaomi. I am just in LOVE with the form factor and how thin it is. I'll update y'all after I play around with it and get it up and running. 📱📱🤳🤳❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Finally a practical foldable
I agree this Foldable seems to have the best built so far. While also being light weight, very long SoT and Stylus support for _both_ screens.
That said it's a bit of a stretch to say that it's the first foldable you can really use as a "normal" phone considering Huawei Mate X3, Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, Vivo X Fold 2, Oppo Find N2 and Pixel Fold are all pretty similar in that regard (while being different in size ofc).
Eagerly waiting for this realistic design.
Great looking device undoubtedly, however the software could be better, if matched with the Samsung fold 5 software. This phone would definitely be complete. Samsung on the other hand pay attention to the aspect ratio of the front screen. 😮😊
There is a good chance that the Oneplus Fold will be very similar to this and will actually be available in the US.
So excited for the global release next month! I'll be buying it on release day in the UK 100%
Your video quality A++
Cant wait for the camera review
Holy moly, Walks all over the Galaxy Fold 5!
wow. I would never bet on Honor to out do both Samsung and Google. I am considering this now!
I have never doubted that after all its the son of huawei
i need this. like right now
I can't get over how good your videos look!😮
Great review Tom it's indeed tempting.
This is a crazy device, there is no company that can make all these specifications folded.
Yeah it's got a proper, next-gen feel
My Lord. What a beast of mobile phone. I have the Vs1 and I love it. One only inconvenient I find on the Vs 1 is the weight. But now they are reducing 30gr on the new Vs2. So, all in all, I think it will be the la cream the la cream! Id love to have one too!! Dan xx
0:11 I've never seen someone open a foldable so aggressively 🤣
Amazing looks 10× better then samsung fold
Really impressive.
Can't wait to have one
Honor nust raised the foldable competition to a whole new level and i love it 😎
Yet to see anyone come up with some reasons why this is better than a regular phone + tablet.
The main worse reason for using this setup is you can't watch a movie and use your phone at the same time without some serious screen real estate compromise.
But you can do exactly that with phone + tablet a whole lot better.
Imagine if the were able to hide the camera holes how perfect it would be
It’s the absolute sweet spot of foldables
Tecno phantom v fold also have a 5000mah battery with a barely visible crease.
Now we need to see if it's software and increased physical battery can take advantage of that great form factor. Showing Samsung how its done on the hardware side so far though.
I would love this thinness and the passport size of the pixel fold
Can't wait for JerryRigEverything to get his hands on this.
So far no foldable released has matched the durability of Samsung's Flip/Fold line.
That matters when you're spending how much these phones cost.
That thing is a engineering masterpiecr
Samsung started it but Honor completed and perfected it. kudos to Huawei/Honor. Definitely on my eye-list
I'd love one of these, but I'm never going to pay more than 1K USD for a phone. When this tech is mature in a few years and there are more midrange and/or used options I may grab one.
about 1255 dollars in china
Honor means business with their smartphones. Hopefully the software experience is good as well.
But does it:
1. have a flex mode?
2. have adjustable aspect ratios per app
Absolutely incredible Honor, WOW
Best foldable phone yet, hardware wise.
Would pick this over the fold 5 anyday but needs the playstore and google services
Agreed. Samsung software is a little more mature, though
Hopefully samsung can learn a thing or 2 from this phone hardware wise and honor learn from samsung software wise. Until that happens i will stick with my fold 3 as the fold 4 and 5 have not convinced me enough
Durability is the real question
Oh....yah, just saw your * thickness correction noted; good on you. It's exactly 37.3% thinner....thanks
This was how I imagined Foldables would look like
This is simply stunning
Well done!!!! Honor. Software will be the key here. I'd most certainly give it a look. I like stock Android with no bloat ware
That phone looks awesome. Can't wait to see the full review.
This is exceptional. True innovation in every aspect of the phone down even to the battery. This is what people want from Samsung. And they could do it to, they are the one of the largest companies in the world. So happy that this is releasing globally. I hope its the kick in the butt samsung needs to wake up and do SOMETHING.
Wow this is by far the best looking foldable phone yet! I wonder this will be the way Apple will do it too if they ever make a foldable iPhone..
jus got mine today in Singapore...google install no problems
Genuinely a phone that could switch me to android!
I was just thinking the same thing!
