      Ultimately, it's a pure Android experience, with minimal additional features beyond a taskbar and dual-app functionality for side-by-side operation. Multitasking capabilities are fairly rudimentary. However, the features that the Pixel Fold does offer perform impeccably in my experience.

    One question tough, if u don't mind...
    I'm holding the Magic5 pro and I was wondering what's your though on which foldable is the best for a daily use?
    Can't afford to buy more than one and I'd like to use it every single day as a main device.
    Are the videos and photos qualities good enough in your opinion? I'm not expecting as good as a flagship phone, but still pretty good though?
    I just love the thinness of the V2 😅

    • @JMTMarc
      @JMTMarc  3 місяці тому +1

      Thank you for commenting. I would pick either the Magic V2 or the OnePlus Open. Both are fantastic foldable phones. The main differences between the 2 are dimensions and cameras. The camera quality of the Magic V2 is good, the quality of the Open is fantastic. But the Magic V2 really shines with its light weight and thinness.

    I have been using foldable phones since 4 years now. Samsung Galaxy 1,2,3 and screen of 2 malfunctioned after 4 months. Then had OPPO N2 Fold, screen protector came off after 3 months and now Honor Magic VS inner screen self destructed. I could just be unlucky but none of my other phones over the last 15 years every broke and I change my phones every 8-9 months. Hope this new version has better screen and hinge compared to the predecessor VS.

    Vielen Dank für dein Video. Ich bin gerade wirklich hin- und hergerissen zwischen dem V2 und Oneplus Open. Könntest du mir zu dem Open vielleicht eine kurze Frage beantworten: Ist der HDR Bug noch vorhanden? Sprich: Beim schauen von UA-cam oder Netflix Videos in HDR wird trotzdem SDR dargestellt und das Gerät bleibt ziemlich dunkel. Besonders auffällig ist der Vergleich mit zwei Smartphones nebeneinander, welche den gleichen Inhalt wiedergeben. Vielen Dank vorab!

    • @JMTMarc
      @JMTMarc  4 місяці тому +1

      Interessant! Von Problemen mit dem Abspielen von HDR content höre ich jetzt zum ersten Mal. Kann es aber bestätigen. Ist bei meinen Gerät auch so. Bei einigen Videos stärker ausgeprägt, als bei anderen. Wenn man das Honor Magic V2 daneben legt, fällt es stark auf, dass die dargestellte Dynamikumfang auf dem Open geringer ist. Bei content auf Netflix und Prime fand ich den Unterschied nicht so stark wie bei einigen Videos auf UA-cam....

      Dominik: ich war mir auch lange unsicher, habe jetzt aber zufällig gerade gestern ein grünes Oneplus kaufen können, bis vorgestern war das noch keine Option. Mir gefällt einfach die Oneplus Software schon seit Jahren und auch den Alert Slider finde ich super. Kommt dazu, dass das Honor in der Schweiz noch kaum zu haben ist und wenn, dann teuer und nur in schwarz. Werde dann das Oneplus heute anschauen (gemäss Review das einzige was mich etwas stören könnte ist das grosse Kameramodul, aber ansonsten gehe ich davon aus, dass ich begeistert sein werde

      I have the Honor Magic Pen but the writing features on the Global variant are very limited. That's the reason I sold away the Global variant and buying the China variant. In terms of functionalities the China variant should be similar to the s-pen. The s-pen has softer nib (which I like) but the Honor Magic Pen has a clip (which makes it feel like a real writing pen). Once I received my China variant I will share more on the stylus functionalities. Cheers

      I don't understand what you mean by thumbnail but it has side mounted fingerprint which works just awesome. I personally have never used wireless charging (but maybe dealbraker for you) also water resistance is not important for me. Meanwhile I used it several times during heavy rain and nothing happened. Again its style, thickness, comfort in the hand, durable materials, its flawless ram capacity, suoerb battery life, even may be not the best but very very good cameras are the most important parts for me. Again specifically its weight and dimensions. God, it is lighter than my wife's S23 and almost the same thickness when folded. Its big screen (both screen pen active) and vibrant colors, multi-tasking capabilities, second space option (perfect for me) etc. Honor Magic V2 is just greatest of its competitors for now. Closest would be Vivo Fold3 maybe.
