I do agree that this is the best foldable this year, and even better with this Porsche Design collab. The size and weight makes it really easy to replace a slab phone! Thumbs up to HONOR 👍

That's correct ,i liked it for maybe a few hours ,but after setting it up i started to play with it and discovered that the Oneplus Open was kinda step backwords from my Honor Magic 4 Pro . like the screen brightness was not all that high compared to my Magic 4 pro,Also scrolling on a feed was not smooth altough i had the screen on 120hz .Also bugs like blackscreen when trying to view Google feed when swiping right.Poor video quality watching instafeeds .for me the Oneplus Open was also feeling to bulky especially with the case on .just a few irritations that made me sell the Oneplus Open off within a week @@Techtablets

Damn that is a shame and since I haven't tested the Open I can't comment. But the Magic 5 Pro was my recommended alrounded phone to get last year. Cameras, battery life, screen, build and features all great. I have the Magic 6 Pro now for review and so far jsut as good. Oh and the Magic 4 Pro yes great phone.
I think Ill be waiting for the magic V3
Great review as always:) can you write on the screen while you touching the screen? Thank you in advance!
This is basically Honor Magic 5 Pro but in a foldable version and with some Porsche marketing on top.

Worse cameras and processor than Magic 6 Pro, and no face unlock either, at more than twice the price. Unless you really need the folding screen, the Magic 6 Pro seems to be a far better choice.
@Techtablets

The Magic 6 Pro (My review is coming) is a good option. Foldables never have the cameras or battery life a flagship standard phone does. That's the trade off and I hope one day we can have a foldable with cameras as good as the slab flagships.
Thank you for your lovely KZread videos. I really appreciate it. I have a question about the (Honor V2) phone. I’ve just bought a new one and I tried everything on it. I’ve realized that there is a delay when scrolling up and down on some of the apps in the phone ( KZread - Instagram - Twitter... ) the phone on 120 frame rates, and still it didn’t fix the problem & By the way i also have honor magic 5 pro with the same issues ! When you tried the phone, did you realize the same delay ( slow ) when scrolling on some apps of the phone? i also compared it with oneplus open ,scrolling is just WAY faster than the honor V2 ! Thanks a lot and appreciate it

Me mean the actual scrolling rate right or a delay? I've noticed that I can't flick scroll as fast as say my S23 Ultra but this seems to be a choice by design that it's slower.

Chinese phones don't do well in USA, for a good reason. Also, Honor it's well known to steal technology and copy designs... It's one of these brands that are basically for the Chinese market. Also, used to be part of Huawei (it's still is to a certain extent) and thus under the Chinese communist party thumb. Backing this it's backing up that dictatorship.
Hi thanks for the review.. I think it was MKBHD who said the thick rounded nib of the stylis was effective how good it is... what is your opinion on this? Thanks.
15:37 Remember that unfolding the phone to its inner screen doubles the screen resolution, so this will of course impact gaming handling even more, snapdragon 8 gen 2 or not.
How does it compare to Find n3/Open? 1. Camera quality 2. Multitasking
Hi, is there a decent case that can carry the pen too?
Does the Pen also works with the normal Magic V2?

Do you plan on reviewing the OnePlus Open? Or the Oppo equivalent? .. I feel like that is the one true competition for the honor magic v2 atm

Call me cynical, but it looks like Porsche just designed a phone case and maybe some of the packaging, Honor used their branding to justify the premium price.

As they say on the web: Great package, but wouldn't call it €2000-great 🤔
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.

I will be surprised if a foldable will last half the lifetime of those 7 years of updates! My Fold 4 was showing its age, and I only got a £400 trade-in on something that retailed for £1700 ( an 18-month-old foldable).

Looks great. The case - love it. slim as paper the stylus with holder is a pretty nice extra. They should've slapped extra case imo instead of EU UK charger(makes no sense). I'm rooting for honor!😂 But it's kinda funny to think they are apart now from huawei. Emui flagships pretty much similar and Porsche design which was always huaweis 😉. Nothing to hate bout it. unless u r murican patriot on a donkey. Great review as always👑
It is really nice, but way too expensive.
tech collabs with car brands always seemed tacky to me.. like the old acer ferrari laptop.. but as long as the underlying product is reliable then its ok
The problem is it’s a challenge to find a place to purchase the phone from if you live in the United States.

There have been quite a lot of 'Porsche Designed' products over the decades and I have yet to see one that makes any difference to the appeal of the product. It just allows a price hike because of the name. This is typical of the trend. Overpriced by a distance.
When can you actually buy this thing?
