I have since the Fold 3. Right now rocking an OPPO Find N2 and just ordered a Pixel Fold which will come in a few days. I plan to sell my OPPO Find N2 + my Google Pixel 6 Pro and get the Honor Magic V2 (Yes I'm a foldable addict/Nerd) 😂😂

This is exactly what a foldable's default dimensions should be. A fairly comfortable size for the folded screen(current 6.3" - 6.6") and just stack 2 of those to make the larger screen. Next up is catching up with the camera and battery life of the non foldables. And That would bring the evolution of foldables to match up and exceed the capabities of a non foldable.

Z Fold is the way to go, next they should do an Ultra one as well with same aspect ratio. Problem with Magic V2 is when opened the screen is too square.

Pixel Fold if you want camera. The Honor V2 does have similar camera setup to the Honor Magic 5.

Pixel fold's camera isn't nearly as good as the non foldable Pixel. And it's a first gen product priced higher than the current best in the market which is on its 5th gen. That's some weird pricing for a first gen product with ancient look tbh. Thouh I prefer the size over fold. A fold is a phone that ocasionaly doubles down as a tablet. Not the other way round. So at least while folded, the dimensions are closer to a normal phone.

Reliability and durability are the biggest drawbacks of foldables

I never considered a foldable until this one came out because of the screens, size, and weight. Like the tech finally got there.

I would seriously consider a Magic V2 as my first dip into the foldable phone market. It looks good, it's a good size, cameras seem ok and generally looks to run smoothly. The lack of wireless charging is a small minus though

I once had a phone with a broken usb port bit wireless charging. And i hated it. Wireless charging is to slow, i can not use my phone while charging. Charging in a train is almlst impossible. Phone overheats and stops charging if you charge it in a bag. Positioning the phone on the charging pad requires precission. In the dark its hard to put it on the charging block. On uneven sufices its harder to put it on the charging spot. In short Cable is much better.

Very cool! I use the Galaxy fold 3. And the Honor V2 here looks great! My biggest gripe with the Samsung ones is the small front screen. If this comes to the States I'd pick it up. Great review! Hopefully, the stylus will be available here!

I have an honor magic 4 pro at the moment. I have had 3 of their phones and they are fantastic. I would definitely be looking to buy this if it came to the UK

Nice video and breakdown/analysis by you. 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. 📱📱🤳🤳❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Never been a folding phone fan...but would definitely buy this.

Very nice! Thanks for this review!

Great review! I'm getting it within the week. Can't wait!

I’d definitely buy this if it comes to Canada. That’s as close to perfection in a foldable as you could ask for.. No competition.

Great review as always! I absolutely love the look of this device, and have been excited about it for some time. If the battery can last me through a day, and if the camera can trade blows with the Samsung Fold4 and Fold5, then I will absolutely get one when it gets a UK release… …oh, and I’ll go for the (slightly thicker) purple one as it looks amazing!

Great review. I was expecting this to be available after the IFA presentation, but I was let down. So I did get the Fold 5 with a good deal, but I am still hoping they will launch an Google services optimized Version maybe at the start of 2024. I will definitely buy it.

I think Honor should now release V3 worldwide next year within 1 or 2 months after China launch rather than releasing V2 at the end of this year, if they are planning to release.

The domestic version has their own harmony os system. Honor are company of only 10,000 employees. If USA didn’t ban huawei, Honor would have still been under the huawei umbrella of 200,000 employees. Honor need the extra 6 months to fine tune and iron out any potential security flaws, that some people or parties may test.

i've been a Zfold user for 3 years now and i love foldable phone so much i will never go back to regular phones. And this one seems really good. can't wait the lauch so i can try it.

I would LOVE to buy it, as long as the Pencil works well and the camera software and the durability of the hardware holds up.

I ordered mine. Yesterday in UK

Okay so I love the idea and I would have one.... however no release until next year is a bit rubbish. But I think I'd rather wait for this than get the Samsung 5 or pixel fold

Great content. Would you recommend waiting to see if the global one comes out or get the Chinese version?

Great review as always!

Another interesting and informative review.

That's innovative. Great work to the team at Honor.

That motion capture is wild 😍😍😍

I've had two folds and I would order this one in a heartbeat

I just wish more phone carriers were open to having this being for sale, especially for a bigger variety in North America. Want to be able to get one when renewing my contract instead of having to spend almost $2000 on one.

Hey .. I would consider buying one for sure! .. Waiting for it

Wish there was a US version. That’s how a foldable should be. People thought I was crazy when I said we should have a foldable with the same size screen as a standard smartphone. Samsung needs to get on this. They would kill the market with this design.

Thank you for the review! Can you split the screen horizontally when using 2 apps?

I'd buy the Magic V2 tomorrow if it were available and worked on Verizon.

The purse is like the best of Nokia back in the day. Pure lovely madness. I think it's terrible but so hope they make it. We need more crazy af ideas.

Your videos look absolutely stellar on my Galaxy Note9, easily the best I've seen on KZread. Everything looks so crisp and vibrant and no letterboxing like on other channels. What camera setup are you using?

Very excited about this hope it does come to the UK

This is the foldable that most makes sense to me so far.

Definitely will buy!! I was actually in holiday in china and now I deeply regret now buying it 😅

Never been so excited about a phone so much in couple of years, I'm definitely excited by Huawei again I'm definitely thinking of getting one hopefully I'll buy it when prices come down to around $1000, Even second hand, I hope it works in U.S. and UK. I wonder if the U.S. carriers will support the bands.

I'm definitely interested if it comes with some of those software issues resolved. I might also hold out to see if anyone tests its dust and water resistance as it's not certified.

Won't be a problem if you know how to erase bloatwares especially if you have a development hobby like us

Great vid thanks. I travelling to China, wondering whether to buy from there and bring back to UK. Apart from no hardware support here what other risks are there?

What an interessting concept with the handbag. This is thinking out of the box

i think this is one of the best implementation before the rollable version is ready. would love one day to have a bigger foldable screen for watching a video

It really depends on the underlying concept... Do you want a normal phone + small tablet (Honor V2)... Do you want a smaller phone + a bigger phone (Google Pixel) ... Or do you want to always use the bigger screen once both your hands are free and just need a highly functional one hand outside screen (Fold)...

Unsure if I missed it, but does it support the Google suite of apps? Or do you have to make a plan, like with Huawei?

Very good review. The best of both worlds is the expression you used and clearly defines the V2 as well as the Honor Magic 5 pro which I own. The V2 for not being a compromise and the HM 5 pro for being the best android (my biased opinion), but also have some ios links glued to it which are perfeclty implemented.

If it comes to Japan good chance Honor will take my money . Totally interested in the V2!

Definitely I'll like to buy it. 🙌🏻

Hi. In your opinion, is Honor Magic V2 or Xiaomi mix fold 3 better?

1600 nits on the inside which is lower than the 2500 nit outter screen. Still beats my phone at 1000 nits, i would be stoked with the 1600 nit inside screen.

Big fan of your videos Tom! Would you also make a video about Xiaomi Mix Fold 3? Would love to hear your comments about that beauty!

Would like to know does the 'Parallel Space' (the security space that allowed you to open a same app at the same time) still in the software? Coz I saw this function from China Reviewer. Hopefully they remain this function in their Global Rom.

Thanks, great stuff!

Samsung needs to do this for their fold! It would be an immediate buy for me.

Excelent! Waiting for the global version

Couldn't wait for it so opted for the z fold 5

Id buy the honor magic V 4 probably, honor software sucks like old samsung software or similar, but I'd buy it but i would look for 8.25 inch unfold screen for me and better cameras with bigger sebsors, which would subsequently makes it thicker but it is where they should go

I imported mine to the US, few things I don't like and something's I .iss from the z fold 4 but it's still a breath of fresh air

Yes, the outboard screen sells me on this phone. Possibly the thinness of the phone as well. If I'm carrying a flag ship phone. currently the samsung s22, and the honor is basically the same size but has a table view. Sold.

This looks so fluid. Plus thin, big battery. I'm sold. Put Samsung software on there and sold...

Wish it had an under display camera on the main screen instead of the hole punch. Love that feature on the Galaxy Folds. Otherwise this is perfect!

huawei/Honor engineers working fulltime releasing the new Kirin chips and these beast of a phone. Kudos to them

I would definitely buy it if it becomes available. Perhaps you can tell Honor that there is a lot of interest in the phone worldwide. Thx for the video

Hi there, how do you get the Google apps on the Honor phone? Cheers

Tom, have you got your hands on the Xiaomi mix fold 3? If so what do you think?

what is your advice to by oppo find n3 our samsung z fold 5 or honor magic v2

More tech news please 😊 have a nice day 😊

I've heard Z fold (which I have) is better quality hardware, better software (plus Labs andGood Lock to enhence and customize software and making all apps split screen), task bar, better support, better display of apps, water resistant, wireless charging, power share, better ecosystem,SPen support ( with its own plethora of features), main camera shows all buttons when flipped to take selfie.....etc🎉... I really do love how thin this is and how good it looks on the main display as a regular phone. I think once this phone gets all these features though, maybe we can start comparing :-)

Are you using the Chinese Rom? If I buy the chinese version, what set backs will I face with regards to using google services?

Hey tech chap. Any suggestions for a mid level tablets for a reasonable price.

Absolutely gorgeous

I would definitely buy this. Do you use a global ROM?

Im loving the look but my worry is that thin things bend and yeah just wondering how rugged it would be.

I would consider buying it despite owning s23 Ultra. The Honor Magic V2 will be gold for me in terms of reading articles and using it like an tablet. Phone and tablet in 1. This is fabulous. China please bring it to UK.

Hi, could you make a video related on Honor Magic V2 it stylus usage. So far no one is showing the stylus function. I still waiting for global release. Thank you in advance.

meanwhile samsung released the same fold 4 as the 5 😑😑😑😑 samsung getting lazy same as apple what a shame

I would be definitely interested if it comes to the uk😮😊

What about instagram, twitter etc. do they come with the optimized ui like in z fold 5 or just stretched to fullscreen like other chinese foldables?

Does it overheat though. Being so thin? Otherwise typing from my fold 5. This one is nice. Fold 5 narrow is still nice and awesome for one-handed. I actually really like the narrow fold 5.

Soon.. Im gonna have 1 of this beautiful phone

That's very nice lite Foldable. I would show it off as an Honor Magic V2 Chain. 😅 Thanks for sharing.

If there is a question, i've always wanted to know in every new devices; how did they solve the heating disperse when heating sinks isn't powerful enough.

Yes I would definitely buy it even though I just bought the Honor Magic 5 Pro lol

I'd definitely buy one!

I want this phone so much!

Can't help but notice GMS installed. When this launches in China, will we be able to import with GMS pre-installed like in your demo?

I see you got the google play store installed. also how are the notifications for those apps? any issues?

Hi guys, how u manage to install the GMS apps? I brought mine in China, but without GMS. Thanks

the the video bigger when playing on the outside screen than it was in the unfolded screen?

How did you get the play store on there?

Was thinking about getting the Fold 5 but might have to wait until the end of the year to see if this launches stateside

It would be nice to have more foldable phones with GUIs similar to Samsung Dex. It could replace many devices.
