Used the honor v2 and opo for just over a day, and decided to send the opo back prefer the magic v2, overall there isn't much in them, cameras in low light and zoom are better on the opo, but the honors are still decent and better than galaxy folds, I just prefer the feel of the honor in hand, I also don't think the software is that bad, battery seemed better on honor also, cannot belive how good battery is unbelievable, both phones are excellent wish I could of kept them. I think it just comes down to either form factor or camera and go with what ever is most important to you, only downside to honor is there is no decent cases available..
Very solid assessment and agreed the Honor is the winner also for the design but your comments are valid. I think Samsung need to push the boundaries to make the fold 6 compelling.
What are the cameras like compared to the fold 5? Just paid 1170 for the v2 and got a free honor tablet worth £299. Better deal than the oneplus open, should receive it next week.
Wow that's fantastic. This is what the Honor is finally able to contend with. The cameras are just as good the Samsung software is perhaps a little better but the images are great IMO. Plus getting a tablet for free is brilliant especially with the growing ecosystem
And...That's That. My Magic V2 inner display just decided to self destruct when I opened my device. I was using it fine 30 seconds before and then I opened it and the screen was flickering with 2 spots at the bottom of the display and a green line up the side. Now it's a write off. Honor will replace the display they said but I have to pay £50 as it's part of the screen replacement insurance they gave at launch. Still annoyed because it killed itself and wasn't dropped by me or anything. Buyer beware this is beyond fragile. It's unfit for purpose.
Oh wow thank you for this feedback. In fairness thankfully they will do the job and you have the excess to pay but that's still sorry annoying. I hope you get it back soon. Let us know
Had my fold 4 fail for the 2nd time going to move away from samsung, whos has better customer service, honor or oneplus cannot make my mind up between this phone and the oneplus open, more concerned with durability, not bothered about software..
Thank you for the response. We are waiting for your useful videos about the comparison between the seventh and eighth updates and why one phone received the eighth update and the other has not received any update yet and is still on the seventh update. Thank you.
Hey. Can you tell me how much lighter it is than the z fold 5? theoretically about 15 grams, but is able to feel any different? The z fold 5 was so difficult for me and heavy that I sent it back. thank you.
Hey, Yes I can tell you using the awesome armour case on the Honor V2 it was the weight of a normal candy bar flagship. I love this phone at the moment and I doubt very much you would regret buying it. Plus Honor offer a lot bundles if you buy direct.
Thanks for this nice review! Most of the other reviewers put the Oneplus Open on number 1 (and the V2 on number 2) because of the better camera's and the better software on the Open. I think you put the V2 on number 1 because of the form factor / design, right?
The device would work fine but the crazy import fees might sting you. UK isn't part of UK of course so annoyingly they might mail you on import tax. Be careful
Phones a beast had a sour experience cause bought refurbished and first one I received had a fault but since replaced I'm blown away ,had zfolds up to 4 the difference is like between having a sunroof and a convertible
@@marcelontech yeah contacted them, how long have you had yours, I understand you do reviews and you alternate a lot of phones.. have you face similar challenges with the inner screen of foldables messing up? Honor v2 inner screen protector is glued to the film that's responsible for the touch sensitivity of the phone. So the screen protector and film mess up together causing a damage in my situation. One thing on the call with them that I was told is that you shouldn't place your phone in a tight pocket due to the pressure it applies to the phone while closed...... Bizarre
@@nongroupthought5076 Yes I am very aware of the inner protector being very important to the function of the screen. I have not however heard about the tight trouser situation and whilst its rarely advaible I have had this phone in a back pocket which might tighter with no problem. My interaction with CS has been good so far but I haven't been in touch with this regarding this matter specifically. Let me know how it goes.
When you shake the phone is there any noise from the camera? And does your volume button are loose? And can you delete all apps from honor? And do you recommend this phone over the oneplus?
Hello mate. No the phone made no rattling or noises from the camera. Volume buttons are solid and quality. Yes all apps can be removed. It's a tough choice as the OnePlus is awesome too but the bundles and customer services with Honor brilliant!
I have the phone. What an amazing phone !! Display are so crystal. De feeling is perfect and verry light weight. i have some more question. 1. Is it normal that when the device is opened it is slightly bent? 2. Some apps i can not remove like the honor apps. Is this normal? 3. Can i make the keybord on the mail screen bigger or higher? Please let me know
@@Sabakoe737 hello mate congrats on the phone. It's is amazing 1. The device when open is normally totally flat and not bent. 2. Most apps can be deleted but I find the Honor app useful to have as it's show my guarantee and contact to customer services. 3. I switched over to Gboard which allows for all those things.
Antithesis means the fundamental opposite btw
Nice and true
I'm also pretty sure he doesn't know how to use the word misnomer. 😂

Had mine form lunch and I love it can't wait for magic os 8.0 to come out but it's a fantastic device
Oooh good for you. Exactly when Magic OS 8.0 arrives it should take it to another level but this device is easily a 9/10
I heard mine from the breakfast😅
I've just received mine and couldn't be happier.
Enjoy it mate. Let me know what you think once you start playing
What are the cameras like compared to the fold 5?
Just paid 1170 for the v2 and got a free honor tablet worth £299. Better deal than the oneplus open, should receive it next week.

Just bought one from Honor UK, there was a £200 discount code on the website. Paid £990.
Yup awesome deals on right now. The V3 is imminent but the V2 is brilliant.
@@marcelontech still £1100 on Amazon!
Do all the apps,.Google,.financial apps all work fine?
Had my fold 4 fail for the 2nd time going to move away from samsung, whos has better customer service, honor or oneplus cannot make my mind up between this phone and the oneplus open, more concerned with durability, not bothered about software..
I can tell you from personal experience that Honor is way and beyond better than OnePlus who in dealing have been very slow and disorganised.
Thank you for the response. We are waiting for your useful videos about the comparison between the seventh and eighth updates and why one phone received the eighth update and the other has not received any update yet and is still on the seventh update. Thank you.
Just get one for 600 euros with a carrier deal. Can't wait.
Might be a very idea. Depends on your market though.
In what country?
@@KurniaGusti-cz6cv In france.

I think you put the V2 on number 1 because of the form factor / design, right?
Correct. The software is totally acceptable and the camera actually got better with software updates. I love the form factor!
The offer is only on european site, the UK version does not have the extras. Would ordering from mainland europe work fine in UK?
The device would work fine but the crazy import fees might sting you. UK isn't part of UK of course so annoyingly they might mail you on import tax. Be careful
It looks amazing and so many reviews say it is amazing and I am looking to upgrade my phone. But Honor is not yet available in Sweden.
Oh that's a shame. Perhaps some one can send it to you
Show more close ups plz n thanks 😊
Ur worth the watch tho!
Thank you kindly and sure will do that!

Hahaha totally agree. I think you did the right thing and have to say super excited for the Honor V3 release.
Terrible phone if the screen protector comes off the screen will go 😢😢 mine just did
Really your internal screen protector just fell off. You definitely need to contact them.

Hi, im torn between this and the Xiaomi 14. How many years of android and security updates are they providing for the v2? Great videos by the way 🦾
Amazing thank you for the feedback. I understand Honor provide4 years of android support. I hear the Xiaomi 14 is great but haven't tested it
