Excellent review (one of the best i’ve seen 👌🏼). I’m the guy that has been into iPhone more than 10 years, but i’m tired of it : i’m gonna get my Magic V3 in a few days and i CAN’T WAIT !!! ❤❤❤
Your videos are great dude, you explain everything in such an understandable way. I already ordered mine, and you have a new subscriber right here. Keep up with the good job.
Solid review! It would be great if Honor allowed completely separate front and interior screen setups. I am really enjoying this phone though. Absolutely satisfied with my choice so far. I get lots of questions about it here in the U.S.
I was thinking of getting it and upgrading from the V2 solely for the fact of the wireless charging and the IP rating... but unfortunately the software is still so so and not that much of an improvement from the V2, I'll wait to the V4 comes out and hopefully the Snapdragon and the OS system will prove to be a significant change/upgrade🤔
Thanks for the honest take on gaming. Lot of reviewers gloss over the lesser thermal management that foldable usually have compared to slab phones. I’m a one plus open owner.
Looking forward for more good content from you to watch. The preorder started just here in Germany. Price 1999 Euro. At start you get 300 Euro Discount and a free wireless Charger,Brick etc. Do you think it's a good offer? I would like to test it but am a bit afraid of the software and durability 😮. I used a z fold 4 and just tested the 6 . But was disappointed by the minimal changes. I use a S24u as my major phone. The honor is like holding the future of folds in your hands ..🎉
@@tomtinglyakatomtecnerd ja, the Honor is more durable than fold, but the software is not as visually done nicely compared to fold, but that can be changed by update
@@tomtinglyakatomtecnerd when you reach this leve lof price and tier, there's hardly going to be a price drop, not for at least a year, so it's going to be a great deal now.
Great and complete review. Thanks!. I have ordered. Coming from fold2. Yes, sofware is the weaker point, but there are worst fold OS (Xiami and Goolge) and Honor has improved a lot on lasts OS versions. Furthermore Honor is pushing a lot their software and MagicOS 9 with AI assistant seems to be a great upgrade.
Great review! What I want to know is will the global version work with Samsung Wearable app? I've just bought a galaxy ring and Watch Ultra so if I upgrade to the V3 will they work with it? Thanks
if i wanna compare with honor magic v2, it's almost the same..that one had 5000 mah vs 5150 mah on v3...it's the same eveen though capacity is slightly higher because the chipset is more powerful. if its galaxy, it's definitely longer, i can go home with average 40% ish battery left in the tank
Looks great! I am tempted by the Honor Magic V3, but it is difficult to jump out of the Apple ecosystem. I would then need an Honor tablet and laptop, and my Apple of those is less than a year old and cost too much...
Nice review! do we need screen protector on the inner screen? Am thinking of getting this as my first foldable and first android for years. Confident about the hardware but am slightly worried about the software coming from iPhone
One big disappointment for me was a relatively low ppi in both screens (not flagship level). I expected it to be at least 450+ like in magic honor 6 pro
If you were to choose between Magic v3 and Oneplus Open/Oppo Find N3, which would be the one ? I see loads of videos comparing the magic v3 against the galaxy fold6, but none against the OnePlus open
I love the v3 with the leather cover which looks more premium. But kind of worried abt its sustainability and whether the leather will tear easily over time
I am more concern on the inner screen long term reliability. I had used the Honor Mgic VS and the screen cracked 2 times in 6 months. Would like to hear your thoughts.
do you think it could be an alternative to iphone+ipad mini? I need to have a small tablet like the ipad mini and a phone that is not too big, this would be all in one. I need it to make sketches on the fly with a drawing app. Thanks and bye from Italy
Ciao bello! It can be an all in one due to the size and pen support, as long as you can charge the phone up with a powerbank because using pen and foldable together usually consumes power faster !
@@ZenTheGeek thanks! luckily it's a smartphone with a good battery, I definitely think it will last longer than other smartphones. I'll use the pen at work, when I can I always have a socket where I can charge it quickly.
Yeah, like you need to turn off the Dual screen layout which is on by default. Once you turn it off.... I do wish they would make everything fit a bit nicer.... but what I absolutely love over Samsung's Fold is that it allows me to mirror the front screen... it was a drag in the Fold to keep both screens managed seperately and I personally prefer to have the oute screen replocate on inner screen. They need to make it less clunky as you say but I appreciate the challenges Honor has. I think Honor should provide a third option where you can have independant screens also, like Samsung's, so that people who prefer this setting can use it.
@@ZenTheGeek Good, cause couldn't find any Honor device in the Android Enterprise Recommended list, although I was made to understand that most devices are Android Enterprise compatible, unless it's a China only device. I am trying to get this Magic v3 for personal use as well as BYOD by linking to Android EMM provider like VMware for me to access work profile eg Outlook, Teams, etc. I had a Lenovo that didn't work but I do believe it's because it's a China only device - Lenovo Legion Y700.
What stopped me buying was the fact that Chinese version gets 16gb Ram/Global only gets 12gb. And two other things, global version comes with No Charger, plus alot of people wanted this phone for the Stylus part that works on both screens. The Stylus pen is £75 to buy (some people got the early deal with stylus included) but I've also found out that the global version has a lot less functionality when using the stylus then the Chinese version...As always global 'Pay more, get less'..
Good review, the vivo beats it slightly, but it costs alot more and harder to get hold of. What impresses me the most is the durability of the v3, the test by gsmarena is unbelievable. The honor v2 had a fragile screen in my opinion so looking forward to getting this on a few days.
I have abused the hell out of the screens on my V2... never had any issues, considering the screen specs are virtually the same as the V3... only the hinge was upgraded
Indeed the vivo x pro 3 fold. Sold it. Loved the phone but the ir blaster was weak and most importantly the camera DID NOT HAVE DUAL PREVIEW mode where the subject can see themselves and pose. The vivo doesn't have any helpful ai features
Software is horrible horrible horrible. Hinge is bad and flimsy, breaks very easily. Ask anyone who had this for more than 3 weeks. Unfortunately Chinese software is so bad it's sad.
clearly payed promotion. Battery life is absolut shit! camera is super shit ...the worse I ve seen - and he says the camera is good :)) ..look at some honest reviews and you ll see samples. Camera is not bad ..is SUPER BAD
After 1 hour playing the demo set at Honor store.. im hooked! Now changing from ip to v3.
Let's go bud!

WOOHOO LETS GO!
Same. Been iphone since it all began. Switched to android and never looked back!
you speak so well man, like your tone and everything
thank you for your kind words!
Ordered my futur Green Honor magic v3. Can’t wait to get it. Helloww from Belgium, Europe.
Really good video.
I'm excited for you too! Hope it's everything you've ever wanted ❤️
Your videos are great dude, you explain everything in such an understandable way. I already ordered mine, and you have a new subscriber right here. Keep up with the good job.

The best review in the world so far. Pandai betol bercakap...! Kudos Bro...!
Thank you brother. Fair and square kite buat
This channel will explode soon. Watch this space.
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL❤
Just got mine yesterday over the Pixel Pro 9 fold and it was a great choice. The size, and as my 1st foldable i am still learning!!!
Thanks for sharing! i definitely agree with your choice too, pixel fold really let me down :(
Solid review! It would be great if Honor allowed completely separate front and interior screen setups. I am really enjoying this phone though. Absolutely satisfied with my choice so far. I get lots of questions about it here in the U.S.
Yeah, I really wanted individual screen customisations too
Great high quality review ! New subscriber :)
Thanks buddy!

What wrong with the software? Just curious as someone that is getting the phone?
Thanks for the honest take on gaming. Lot of reviewers gloss over the lesser thermal management that foldable usually have compared to slab phones. I’m a one plus open owner.
It's a very expensive device..and a thin one at that..reviewers are supposed to know what's going to happen a mile away.
Thx for this really cool informative exciting review. I appreciate it. 🎉 greetings from Europe 😊

How is the sound quality coming out from this phone. Overall very good presentation bro....I am glad i already place an order for this phone.
Thank you my friend!
Great and complete review. Thanks!. I have ordered. Coming from fold2.

Thank you for your kind words! Yes, software can always improve and seems Honor is definitely on the right track! Which color did you get by the way
Great review! What I want to know is will the global version work with Samsung Wearable app? I've just bought a galaxy ring and Watch Ultra so if I upgrade to the V3 will they work with it? Thanks
Yes, I literally tested that with galaxy wearable and then galaxy watch ultra. Totally works!
Very well review, thank you
Subscribed 😊
Thanks for the sub! Im glad I helped
HONOR is the best
Nice review man
Thanks dude!
Hows the battery on this relative to the previous foldable you were using?
if i wanna compare with honor magic v2, it's almost the same..that one had 5000 mah vs 5150 mah on v3...it's the same eveen though capacity is slightly higher because the chipset is more powerful. if its galaxy, it's definitely longer, i can go home with average 40% ish battery left in the tank
Looks great! I am tempted by the Honor Magic V3, but it is difficult to jump out of the Apple ecosystem. I would then need an Honor tablet and laptop, and my Apple of those is less than a year old and cost too much...
im sure trading in would make things a little cheaper!
excellent review. thank you.
Nice review! do we need screen protector on the inner screen? Am thinking of getting this as my first foldable and first android for years. Confident about the hardware but am slightly worried about the software coming from iPhone
hi there, dont need for inner screen, it's already protected, adding another layer would affect it later on.
One big disappointment for me was a relatively low ppi in both screens (not flagship level). I expected it to be at least 450+ like in magic honor 6 pro
If you were to choose between Magic v3 and Oneplus Open/Oppo Find N3, which would be the one ? I see loads of videos comparing the magic v3 against the galaxy fold6, but none against the OnePlus open
Because OnePlus open isn't openly available in lots of countries, including mine
I love the v3 with the leather cover which looks more premium. But kind of worried abt its sustainability and whether the leather will tear easily over time
It depends. It'll last longer if you put on the case, or simply don't let it get exposed to moisture too long , like getting it wet
This is the future
How is the software. Does it have a lot of bloatware?
Im very happy with the global version. I wanted to try the vivo x3 fold pro but that was 2100 usd if i wanted to import global version 😮
too expensive that one!
How you size the calendar
Moving to this phone from Apple and I'm both excited and scared because I hear magic OS is flakey. That true? How would you guys compare that to iOS?
They're very different and definitely need time to get used to and adjust
@@ZenTheGeek I just hope the user experience is good but def excited to get this phone and great review bro!!
@@atachiuchiha9952 thank you for your kind words my friend
I am more concern on the inner screen long term reliability. I had used the Honor Mgic VS and the screen cracked 2 times in 6 months. Would like to hear your thoughts.
But how was your usage? Any drops ?
@@ZenTheGeek no drop at all
Is the camera nice? I currently have a iPhone 15 pro max and just received the magic v3 but did not open it yet as I am tempted to return it.
camera is pretty decent actually, almost comparable to the likes of magic 6 pro. Why do you want to return it though?
@@ZenTheGeek mostly concerned that I won’t be satisfied with the camera. However maybe this could entice me to use my Nikon more.
Why does it stress me out when I see you putting a caseless phone on concrete, yet when I see it in a washing machine I think "wow, that's cool"
Ah yes, Selective Situational Stress HAHAHAHA
Is it better than the galaxy z6 fold?
only in camera and charging speed. Software and performance is still Z Fold 6 dominant
do you think it could be an alternative to iphone+ipad mini? I need to have a small tablet like the ipad mini and a phone that is not too big, this would be all in one. I need it to make sketches on the fly with a drawing app. Thanks and bye from Italy

We want camera review Vs iphone
2:45 Theres a setting where you can change this...
I know you're referring to dual screen layout. It doesn't work well with widgets and it's really clunky
Yeah, like you need to turn off the Dual screen layout which is on by default.
Once you turn it off.... I do wish they would make everything fit a bit nicer.... but what I absolutely love over Samsung's Fold is that it allows me to mirror the front screen... it was a drag in the Fold to keep both screens managed seperately and I personally prefer to have the oute screen replocate on inner screen.

I think Honor should provide a third option where you can have independant screens also, like Samsung's, so that people who prefer this setting can use it.
Someone could dive me more infos about playing ZZZ with magic v3? i wonder why is not suggesting it even if mounting Snapdragon gen 3.
thank u
I love iphone, the design is outstanding the technology is great
Can i pair my samsung galaxy watch to the honor?
Yes you can!
Got it and it works brilliantly. Loving this phone. @@ZenTheGeek
Is this an Android Enterprise compatible device?
I remember getting a confirmation on this yes
@@ZenTheGeek Good, cause couldn't find any Honor device in the Android Enterprise Recommended list, although I was made to understand that most devices are Android Enterprise compatible, unless it's a China only device.

I game with headphones and blasted in front of fans and no throttling and phone is cool for 2 hours.
no phone woukd throttle under such a taken care of environment :D

Got all this on the latest update 😂@@RightWithGodMinistries
first!
2nd!
Google pixel 9 fold pro has 16 gb ram. The global version of honor v3 is only 12 gb which sux
Probably the least intelligent comment I have seen all year
@@ZenTheGeek 😂😂😂
I think also not as good as Z fold for gaming, because it is paper-thin
yup, heat
CCP phone, no thank you. Wouldn't buy apple as well.
Then what would you buy ?
@@ZenTheGeek Samsung or Google.
Software is horrible horrible horrible. Hinge is bad and flimsy, breaks very easily. Ask anyone who had this for more than 3 weeks. Unfortunately Chinese software is so bad it's sad.
Whoa who hurt you boo
Lol, no
clearly payed promotion. Battery life is absolut shit! camera is super shit ...the worse I ve seen - and he says the camera is good :)) ..look at some honest reviews and you ll see samples. Camera is not bad ..is SUPER BAD
