Top content creator delivering yet another amazing video! Amazing device by the looks of it !! ❤

[@JCFIV5]

Youve earned another subscriber, watched a few of your comparsion videos now and great content and quality.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Welcome aboard!

[@jasonc4643]

I can't wait for mine to arrive! thanks for the unboxing

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Have fun!

[@soladsani]

Absolutely a great vid AD 👌 thank you

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Dedalus11973]

no wireless charge, that's the only thing I miss on it.

[@vicentvanmole]

thanks for showing such a great phone !

[@watchall2010]

Thank you so much for your dedication. Been waiting for a device to match Surface Duo 1 thickness. Question do you know what they are announcing at MWC 2024 in February 24th?

[@Gamer-kn7fi]

Well, now as they released it OnePlus is coming back to Germany with thr Open for 1799€ (without discounts), so finally for the first time there is competition for foldables in Germany

[@docregsportsmd]

It's £1,315 now 🤩

[@danhustwick5799]

I'm really tempted to go from my fold 4 to this now it's global. The global version isn't available in my region at the moment, and probably won't ever be, plus I won't be able to use a lot of touch to pay stuff, and I don't fancy paying the import tax which are issues. But damn it looks amazing. I know someone visiting from the UK at the end of March so if I can wait till then I could ship it to them and have them bring it with them 😂.

[@martvarm]

Congratulations ! Waiting for it to launch in Kuwait !

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Thanks!

[@markcaiger-watson1104]

Greay vid. Does the V2 have desktop mode? Wireless projection i think they call it. Like Samsung Dex. Thanks

[@sensuparman34]

Hello Avg Dad, happy for you too with your new toy. Is the global version comes with Magic OS 7.2 or latest & greatest 8.0? Thank you

[@scottishguy924]

very good video its interesting that its different in the box from a chinese to a global

[@AndyT3ch]

Great video. The V2 is a lovely looking phone.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

It really is!

[@ikkezelf2906]

Thanks again for this nice video, Dad! I have a concrete question. Would you have the time to make a video about how to migrate from one android phone (like the Fold 5) to another brand of Android phone (like the Oneplus Open)? When I switched from my Fold 5 to my Oneplus Open, I could not transfer the notes (I used the Samsung notes app on the Fold 5) and my calendar items (I used the Samsung calendar app). My conclusion for the future is to only use Google apps (Google calendar, Keeps Notes, etc.). But there is also the transfer of apps, documents, downloads, photo's, etc. Oneplus has a good app for that (except notes and calendar), but I don't know if other brands have this.

[@WAAdverts]

Awesome review! I bought the Redmi K70 pro after watching your review and i gotta it's way better that you even described it to be I come from the Tecno camon 17 and man switching to this New Redmi K70 pro is literally Like Night and Day. ❤️❤️

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Glad I could help!

[@babyblu5590]

Hope the internal screen and hinge holds up! What a slim phone! Oh and the heating as well. Hope it dissipates well!

[@stevepen3648]

Once again what a great video. You used a type-c to type-c cable what app did you use to transfer all apps and data. I should receive my magic v2 tomorrow. Nice on average dad

[@AverageDadOfficial]

None, it as part of the setup process... no app required

[@hugocruz2380]

How can I buy this phone looks amazing not sure to keep my one plus open or buy this one

[@cardriverism3311]

One question when you did the set you cut the actual set out and used the two leads to each phone the question is did it all start transferring on its own or do you need to select something somewhere to start it transferring. Thanks

[@georgeker1]

I also got mine today. Does the new case also have this weird gap in the top corner and also on the middle back on your phone? It seems as if it doesn't really completely close on the phone.

[@Tatisifetita]

Nice unboxing

[@jwan_1193]

How's the camera so far? I have the Magic 5pro, i'm really tempted to upgrade to the magic v2 but i'm a bit concerned about the camera downgrade

[@OMAAD0502]

Excellent video, been looking for information on the UK release. Im actually thinking of buying this as my first fold phone, but i would prefer wireless charging and a Gen 3 snapdragon. Do you they will release a newer version later this year with wireless charging. or do you think i should bite the bullet and buy this. As its a great deal with the headphones and coupons.

[@OMAAD0502]

Hey, what do you think about the next Honor fold phone having Wireless charging or do you think because of the two batteries, this wont happen.

[@queencityreefs]

It is a beautiful phone for sure. Top of the line. Better than whats currently out in most cases. I will say though, the crease isnt visible yet because it is brand new. I bet after a few months of open and close, youll see it more clearly. The question is, will it be as bad as the fold 5? 🤔

[@shakrabani1098]

Can't wait for the comparisons ...shame they didn't put upgraded chip set lol

[@rikonlondon5589]

Does the kickstand on the case twist like it did on the previous version?

[@Rogaline]

I am extremely eager to see your detailed comparison of honor v2 VS one plus open, can you please do it first?

[@sumitpalsingh5262]

Hi average dad .. you doing good work.. can u check if indian sim work in this.. as i told you before that as soon i put in indian sim n call someone volte services or 4g 5 g stop working.. that mean u cannot use internet while on call .. its a major problem with global version even

[@MarkLennard]

Great video, keen to see the comparison video with the Oneplus Open as both devices arrive with me today and still not sure which one I will keep!

[@panderson1985]

Which one did you keep? @AverageDad - do you still think the OnePlus Open is the best option? Thanks! :)

[@MarkLennard]

@@panderson1985 kept the Oneplus Open 🤙

[@RN-qy1cz]

Hi Mike. Does the V2 EU-ROM support the chinese Magic Pen? Greets from Germany.

[@geertjanssens4789]

Perfect !

[@inbaralfasi8474]

Would you say the crease/hinge is better on the honor or the oneplus?

[@tareqxq6606]

Hello I just want to ask if you gonna review magic 6 pro soon ?

[@FMCREPAIRARMAGH22]

I have a z fold 4 I am tempted to upgrade to the v2

[@ericbrink8305]

You didn't do the 'smell test '. 😂😂 Nice unboxing👍🏼

😅

[@MoniandFredsillyrianGaming]

Does wondamobile have this global version?

[@BlueKyuubi64]

OnePlus Open vs Honor Magic V2? Which is better?

[@benjiize]

Im waiting for the mix fold 4.ive read it is getting a global release hopefully this is true !

[@drbijubkp]

I have been waiting for this. I am waiting for the Global version update over onto my Chinese version so as to use my smart watches , Android auto etc. hope that can be done. Or a rom download link of some sort. Regards .

[@FabioSomma70]

in the China version a film with a purple reflection is installed on the internal screen, this global version doesn't seem to have it exactly?

[@MagicInventor]

I believe the kickstand rotates 90 degrees.

[@matyoka]

I have only 1 question... this being your second Magic V2, saw the old one when you compared it to the OP Open. How do you get your hands on the Global before official February release? Thanks for the awesome videos by the way from Mesa, Arizona :D

[@Jallelab99141]

the global is for sale on wonda

[@ddeliyski]

Please tell me if it has WiFi calling or calls over wifi function 🙏 I really miss that on my Chinese V2 1TB.

Hi thanks for your video should have mine tomorrow do you have a link for the pen Original HONOR Magic-Pen Stylus Pen For HONOR Magic V2 / Magic Vs

[@MaddyCools-ht1cw]

Do you happen to know where the global version of magicv2 ultimate edition is available?

[@Cool_Saf]

Looks Amazing Mike. cant wait for mine probably this week...

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@guyver0113]

Can I purchase the global version on WondaMoble? I can't get it from the UK sight.​@@AverageDadOfficial

[@Roberto-uk3ml]

If someone purchases the pen, where is it supposed to be attached to in the bumper provided with this version?

[@MobilniReziser]

Looks like this upgrade case doesn't rotate the stand, right? 😢

[@marlonfrankson8615]

It is a lovely phone, such a shame they messed up the global launch. There's no way I can justify either buying another 2023 folderable phone or trading my OnePlus open for an older V2. Maybe next year honor. Great vid dad.

[@ikkezelf2906]

I totally agree. I also bought the Oneplus Open and I will not buy the V2

[@nugzmedallion8929]

Funny thing: I got a OnePlus Open on the 3rd and I accidentally dropped a piece of slightly heavy metal on the inner display and I went back to Best Buy and they gave me a gift card for what I paid for it since they couldnt fix it there...I have to wait until I get paid again to buy it since I got it on sale for 100 off and its no longer on sale. So I COULD potentially take this opportunity to get the HONOR Magic V2 *IF* Best Buy is going to be carrying it in the near future. Now in the couple weeks I had the Open I loved it, but I'm very tempted to pick the V2 IF available. Yall think I should or just stick with the Open? Also is there an actual global release date??

[@sebastiengauthier1148]

Messed up launch and price ! 1999€ is way too expensive for a "6 months old" phone given all competitors in place and future phones coming in the next 6 months...

[@docregsportsmd]

It's now £1,126 🤩

[@sebastiengauthier1148]

@@docregsportsmd here 1699€ for now but it’s still expensive for an "old phone"

[@MrMykolaslt]

Hello AD I finally got Honor magic v2 chinese version but I cunnot set up Honor account on it because it telling me that phone number witch UK but the region is China. Is there a way to change region? Also is there a group acces where I can ask more questions? Thank you in advance

[@Maximum_Android]

Being an owner of Honor Magic Vs, I'm quite jealous 😁 - V2 has better=less crease, must be better cameras (4K on front camera?)

[@AceOfHearts001]

Thanks for the great vid. Theres absolutely nothing out there discussing the stylus support on this. Would it be possible to make a vid on this please? Really the S pen is a major feature of the Z Fold now setting it apart for me.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Already made one a few months ago mate

[@AceOfHearts001]

@@AverageDadOfficial Ah, ok will have a look thanks :)

[@andyreno9791]

Problem is - where to buy the pen? Third party stylus won´t work.

[@AceOfHearts001]

Ah, I see the 1TB version is not available in the UK...(one which comes with the pen)

[@Daanstoorvogel]

Just order mine last week thx to you!! , does the cable setup go via An app on the samsung? I am switching from a fold 2. I dont want to fry my New magic v2 in the First half hour 😂

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Just the usual android setup mate! cable took about 5 minutes to complete setup

Are you also going to grab the Honor Magic Vs2? Love to see a video with the cheaper and lighter version. 😀

Actually , i would like to know how is the functionality of a pen on it.....i am already using Samsung fold 4 enjoying two essential things on my mobile s pen and DEX Can this phone beat mine If so I will buy it Can you help me

[@pablojaquez7949]

Hi I know this is going to sound like a small problem. Has anyone been able to use USB C buds with this phone. I like using that especially when working from home on calls. It shows the headphone icon when connected but no sound comes out.

[@bonusbaby801]

If I hadn't gotten my Samsung Fold 5, I would have strongly considered the Honor Magic.

Will do soon

[@serguei.o]

The French version is not supposed to come with a case. How do they manage to provide different packaging for each country!? I don't get it.

Here to say I figured out the horizontal split hahaha! On the edge of divider, tap the three dots. That's it!!

took the plunge and got the Oneplus Open last week , but sadly it's just not my cup of tea , maybe i'l give the Honor a try ..the Oneplus seems to buggy for my taste .

[@WAAdverts]

So what phone is your daily driver Dad?

[@mikedorkzy6137]

Maybe a daft question, but will I be able to use my s23 ultra charger on this phone? I imagine i would as its still usb c and has super fast charging

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Yes, all good

[@mikedorkzy6137]

@@AverageDadOfficial thanks dad

[@ramama987]

So how do you manage to get it down to 1299? The German store shows 1999€ and no student or other options for me. And no shipping to other countries so that sucks. Maybe some kind of a third party drop shipper will help.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

No, if you subscribe to Honor UK, you get £200 off then if you select trade in you get another £200 off! you don't need to trade in! i will sell you my V2 and ship next week for 1650 euros

do it vs the s24 ultra

[@scottulrich4200]

I would actually consider getting this but the problem is it doesn't work on Verizon's Network

[@Jallelab99141]

there were multiple ppl on honor reddit page getting the global version working with verizon

[@scottulrich4200]

@@Jallelab99141 Well that's good to hear, because I love the phone itself. My only concern is the fact that I use the phone for my business as well as my personal life and I have to be able to connect two phone numbers to it. If anything should happen to it I want to make sure I can get it fixed immediately which Samsung does offer me because there's three stores within my radius., that is the only thing keeping me with Samsung is access to repair shops should I need one. So I'm holding out to see what they do with the Galaxy fold 6 before I make a final decision

[@hecyel18]

AND the global ROM when do you think they release ???

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Hopefully be able to flash soon!

[@jebaker2]

I still think if a phone's feature is super fast charging, the charging brick should be in the box. Just my opinion.... still a nice unboxing, though.

[@3rdtwirl494]

Are apps opened in the full screen or half

[@AverageDadOfficial]

full

[@Duran449]

This or the OnePlus open. Today OnePlus made a comeback again in germany and im leaning towards to the open. Im coming from the fold 4

[@efechief2659]

Compare how the media looks between the foldables. Play different movies and shows. I know there might be a copyright risk , but you can get away with playing a few seconds. Nobody does this. I would ask for a battery test, but that might be too time consuming.

[@shakrabani1098]

Are other Chinese brands going to launch their foldables to us in UK? PS - let's not forget the ppl of Gaza 😢

[@nongroupthought5076]

I watched an honest review that highlighted all the flaws of this phone , camera , crease , camera , poor software update , average camera ., no wireless charging , too expensive for overall offering .. So why are every reviewer overhyping the phone and not telling the truth. It seems we are getting bamboozled by the thinness

[@AverageDadOfficial]

What about the crease? one of the least visible creases out. worlds thinnest and lightest fold phone cameras are good and software is fine... what more do you want?

[@redwinebryan]

sooooooo basically its the same fucking phone but it has a better case gg nice 10 minute video for that

[@efechief2659]

One plus fanboys are 😢. They've been going on about the Open being better than the Z, but the Open was already in 2nd or 3rd place. That's what happens when you put too much emphasis on specs.
