Spot on review! I had this as well as the z fold 6 at the same time to compare... I decided to returned the fold within the 1st hour of comparison! I have had mine for 3 weeks and concur with everything that you said about it! My worse day of battery was 8+ hours of on screen with 39% battery remaining! I've had several 9 hrs and 41 min with 25% remaining... and I was hitting it hard all day just to see if i could kill it! Its a thin beast and works flawlessly in the US on ATT! Well done review!

This phone has blown my mind to be honest. The V2 was great too, but I got a decent carrier deal on the V3 and upgraded. Worth the upgrade in terms of camera performance and a little bit due to the SD8V3. Other than that you can't do wrong with either. They literally tick all the boxes and stomp on the PFold 1 and Samsung Fold I've used

Nice overview. I agree on all your points. Had Fold 2/3 and Pixel Fold. Now the v3 and its like 2 generations better. You forgot to mention one of the other advantages over the Z Fold. The Pen works on the outer screen as well! So you can write quick notes direct on the screen without opening it. It is amazing how slim the device is. People don't realize its a foldable when you hand it to them to look at.

@RussRyan7713 is the pen as good as an S pen? I'm very much addicted to it for work (had Note 10+ and now a z fold 4) and I'm afraid to get V3 and realise I was better of with Samsung!
@RussRyan77132 ай бұрын
@@Jam-nv5gm as a pen for taking notes it's great. There is a good video online showing the differences. Mainly the s pen is more customisable if want all that. For me the V3 is fine for writing notes and using it just to interact with the phone.

Here are 10 reasons to buy the Honor Magic V3, as presented in the video: * Large front screen: The phone has a 6.7-inch front screen, which is larger than many other foldable phones. This makes it easier to use the phone without having to open it up. * Versatile case: The phone comes with a case that has a kickstand and a hinge protector. This makes it easy to watch videos or use the phone hands-free. * High refresh rate display: The phone has a 120Hz refresh rate on both the front and inner screens. This makes the phone feel smooth and responsive to use. * Powerful processor: The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, which is one of the most powerful processors available for Android phones. This means that the phone can handle even the most demanding tasks. * AI integration: The phone has AI features that can be used to search for items, edit photos and videos, and share content with others. * Long battery life: The phone has a 5,150mAh battery, which is one of the largest batteries available on a foldable phone. This means that the phone can last for a full day of use. * Fast charging: The phone supports 66W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. This means that you can quickly charge the phone if you need to. * Stylus support: The phone supports a stylus, which can be used for taking notes, drawing, and other tasks. The stylus is included as a free gift when you order the phone from Honor Direct. * Magic Ring service: The phone has a service called Magic Ring that allows you to connect to other Honor devices and use them as a remote. This can be useful for transferring files or controlling your phone from a tablet. * Affordable price: The phone is priced competitively compared to other foldable phones on the market. I hope this is helpful!

@@Yaripilot It's all good. Of course you can have your own opinion. However, I still fail to understand what software has to do with peak screen brightness, which is entirely hardware based. The Magic V3 has one of the brightest if not THE brightest front screen on the market. Been using it for over a month now and I've never had a phone perform so well under direct sunlight. The main camera quality is also particularly impressive. Second best only to the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro which is a whole 2mm thicker. I guess maybe you just received a faulty unit...
