Hi there, so happy you have reviewed this new magic v2. Loving your videos, when is your next live I want to join the gang. Got a wee question I can get the magic v2 ultimate using your link for around £1700. Now sounds a lot so my question if I wait until mid September when I would hope they are available for delivery in the uk do you think the price will go up by a few hundred quid? I think I can follow your videos to get the phone set up the way I would want it.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

hey thanks very much for watching! next line will be this Sunday. there is a members WhatsApp group you ca joi too 👍 I don't think the ultimate will come to the UK but if it does, I would be shocked if it was under £2k

I have bought a xiaomi phone from china, the problem is that I don't get notifications until I open the application, I have tried all possible ways but nothing worked, my advice is do not buy cn phones until you are fully aware that you will not have a normal phone.

[@ianmcloughlin8509]

You need to open the list of apps in settings and for each app set notification on, that should work..also turn off battery optimization as it will kill your apps.

[@yahyanael]

Hello Average Dad! This was an excellent video I will be watching it again unless you have anymore inside rumors on the Honor V2 global release to the USA? I'm curious about how USA banking apps would work. Cause although getting this phone cheaper with the Chinese ROM would be great it wouldn't do me any good if I couldn't use my insurance and banking apps.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Hey, thanks!! Banking apps will be fine, all UK ones work and Chase bank! not tried any other American ones for obvious reasons 😃

[@khaleefaalkhalidi2140]

Thank you for the elaborate explination. Regarding the Google Wallet, does it work on Honor Magic V2 or not? is there a way to pay with Google Pay? Does google feed work when swiping left from the home screen?

[@MasterboxProduction]

I’m wondering the same thing

[@blaster915]

Hmmm watching this makes me think maayyybe. Just maybe. I can swing it and get a Vivo X fold 3 pro (from your wandamobile link of course) and transfer my data from a google pixel 6 pro. Switch my fitbit out for maybe a garmin venu that would work for it and i can have a portable emulation beast again! Or, do I hold off and wait for the one plus open 2 for an easier time with euro google services?

[@victoryemeka4620]

gbox and gspace stopped working on my honor pad9 after it updated to android 14. Any solution to this?

[@Wolvezzz404]

Thanks for the video, really informative and helpful. However, I do have a question. Are these google services equivalent to the pre-installed Google services on global phones? Do they automatically update? Additional question: I plan on using the OnePlus 12, a phone where I can activate Google services, does this mean it will automatically add Google Play Store in my phone?

[@DavidDas-lh1po]

Is it possible to use VPN after downloading the Gbox? And is it also possible, just simply transfer the Google app from my old phone to my new Honor phone and then use??
