I have the Global version also and don't have notification issues (other than the power intensive alert). As for stutter only Reddit and UA-cam sometimes have slight lag for me. So far haven't noticed in any other apps or the app drawer.
Reddit stutters on literally all phones. It's not the honor magic. The stock app is just trash. Just google reddit jitters followed by the name of any phone and you'll find posts of it.
hello, could you notice and check guys if you are seeing another like gray/darker line from top to bottom next to the folding line when you tilt it to the right. Do it in full brightness too. I dont know if it's a screen defect or like some kinda a material parts or any form of tape they used inside but it reflects through the screen. Not noticeable in normal/straight viewing. Or do like a position when you are sharing/showing your screen next to the person to your right and you will see that shadow like line with the same size as the folding hinge. Try to use other bright colors too as mine is pretty becoming obvious and distracting when I just observed it last night. Sorry, cant attach an image to show here. 😭
Bought this gave my fold 6 to my dad this is better by far some things i miss with samsung but there isn't a massive amount difference between One UI and Magic OS
Great review! Have you had any issues with the photo processing? In particular, I’ve heard the AI will alter facial details of people (more common in low light and in close to mid ranges.
In low light situations, the photos did look pretty muddy and lacking in detail, but it wasn't anything extraordinarily bad in my experience. It does have a specific processing style that you may or may not like.
I really doubt you have the global version, the notification problem is only on chinese versions. I allways get my notifications on time with no extra settings needed just default. And in setings i dont have the same options as you.
Hey Jamal, are you interested in checking out the Huawei Mate XT or are you planning on waiting for a global release? Seems like a good device for your all-in-one quest.
Honestly, if I had the money, I would 100% buy it right now to try it. Hopefully one day I can get my hands on it, a global rom would also be nice too.

That has not happened to me, but I don't use my nails to press and use the fat part of my finger tips. There are videos showing this phone going through some extreme durability testing.
@@CliffR yeah ive watched these videos too, but they are mainly focusing on the exterior of the device, my main issue is the inside screen. anyway thanks
The inside is soft plastic. It's not specific to this device. It's the only mass market consumer tech available for folding screens. It's exactly the same on z fold on vivo on oneplus on nubia, etc,. But since it's closed when in pocket, you're way more likely to get scratches on the normal screen. I wouldn't worry about it. I have 0 scratches inside my 2 year old zfold 4. But I saw a shane craig video where the spot he scrolls his finger during social media browsing had a bunch of micro scratches from his nail running along the screen. It was only visible when turned off at an angle against the light. Not visible turned on.
Foldable inside screens are pretty durable nowadays, but there's always that risk of a random failure regardless of how durable they are. The safest option is to buy insurance with a foldable phone if possible.
Just traded mine for a z fold 6. I fucking hate the camera on the v3. When you zoom in on the photos you take, especially of people's faces, it has a horrible artifacting or like this ugly processing it does. Idk what it is but I've never seen it happen on any other phone. I hate it. It's not HDR or AI or beauty mode, I had everything off and tested it and it still did the horrible processing. Had to dump it. Much happier with the z fold 6.
@tarekmohamed6401 if you care about photography, do not get the V3. Honestly, it's literally awful how bad the photos are ruined when you zoom in and see how they butchered faces and splotchy colors. I would 100% get the Z fold, I'm using it right now and I'm much happier with it over the V3.
If you care that much about the camera don't get a foldable at all for the time being, all foldable phones have a compromise on the camera, the best foldable camera is the VIVO foldable followed by the V3@@TnoBambino
@amgadabdelnabi5618 no. It's what honour is doing with their software side for the cameras... It's atrocious and ruins the entire camera experience. The hardware is fine.
Here is my short Pros/Cons list. Made it this weekend to help decide which to make my main phone (and whether I should keep with Magic v3 or my Honor Magic 6 Pro slab with similar features and tossed in the OnePlus 12 for fun since it now has Android 15) docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xsLJz_naW4tRTrI51C1Ix-8HiuBkOYzUa4X6I-8UEnA/
Do you know if wired desktop mode is supported on other honor devices such as the honor 200 pro and magic 6 pro? I currently use dex on a nexdock touch. Thanks for the videos 👍🏽
Interesting take. For me the hardware trumps the software. I dont use many OneUI features so dont really miss anything. Only the power usage notification is anoying but fixable. Software can be improved over time, hardware is what you got and wont change. Yes if samsung made a device this slim with pen support on both screens I would never had thought to buy the v3. Glad they didnt as this is my daily now and has been since day of release. Oh and the price of £1399 was also a no brainer compared to the Fold 6 and the Pixel Pro 9 Fold.
I agree that software can always be improved, but a lot of these companies don't really do that. A lot of them pump out so many phones and forget about their previous ones that have glaring software issues. Idk if Honor is like this, but the promise for updated software isn't always reassuring.
I've had the V3 for months and I can confirm what he is saying. I still have occasional notification issues. Even though I tweaked all the settings for max performance. Otherwise, it's an absolutely beautiful phone.
@@Tommy43087 I have a S24 ultra and have notification issues! Apps that sleep when they shouldn't even though I corrected the settings, etc etc. Maybe some of this is Android 14 related who knows. I'm interested in the global magic v3 but having difficulty getting accurate info on the listings of 5g bands on the device....I have TMobile in the US and from what I can tell I would need 5g bands 2, 41, 66 and 71 but the info from various sites is all over the place ugggg
I've been impressed with the speakers, how they have fit everything in such a slim profile is incredible

Definitely one of the best foldable devices of 2024
Wouldn't use anything Honor or Xiamoi even if that chit was free. Absolute hot garbage.

I don't have the phone anymore but that sounds strange. I don't remember experiencing that.
Good review!!

My v3 battery is way better then the Samsung folds.
Mine too 🤔
Honor is hot garbage.
Great review, love this phone, but kind of want to wait and possibly cop the X8 pro. What game is that at 3:10?
League of Legends Wild Rift!
My V3(Chinese Version) no problem with notification delays matter
Watching this video on my best fold Honor Magic V3😂😂
No notification problem here.. Battery life is perfect..

I sold mine. It was great but the speakers sucked.
Your's must have been defective
Let’s get 3K subscribers before end of the year
Light work
HONOR MAGIC V3 is the best

I had the global version, lol. Maybe it was the software version I was on at the time.
Honor is the best hardware on a foldable and the fold 6 special edtion w25 is the best software in my opinion and that one has a nice front screen

Awesome phone!
Hey, how durable is the main screen? The only thing keeping me from buying it is that its scratchable with fingernails.

Should i buy it or fold 6???
I have both and absolutely love both for different reasons. If Jamal is ok with it, I can share a "pros cons" list between the two.
@CliffR you can say anything you want here, lol, don't worry. I wouldn't mind reading your pros and cons list 🙏🏿.
@tarekmohamed6401 they both are good devices and have different pros, it really depends on what you value the most.

@@JamaltLee I posted the link but it may be hidden from spam filter.
What about the camera?
They're decent. Not game changing for a foldable, but still good enough imo. The phone also has a lot of camera modes and settings to play with.
Satellite connectivity? Hdr 10+ ?
Yes to both
Do you know if wired desktop mode is supported on other honor devices such as the honor 200 pro and magic 6 pro?
I currently use dex on a nexdock touch.
Thanks for the videos 👍🏽
Yes and android should have it eventually. But not sure if any are as in depth as dex.

Honor magic V3 > Samsung Z Fold 6
Wouldn't use anything Honor or Xiamoi even if that chit was free.
Plz remove music in the background it's distraction
I got the global v3 with no issues, maybe you were given your v3 by Samsung & the video sponsored by Samsung 🤣🤣🤣
Looool ya Samsung sponsored my tiny channel with 2.9k subs to hate on Honor
@JamaltLee yep , gives the feeling of grassroots authenticity 🤣
