DO NOT BUY the Honor V3 Until You Watch This! - The Best Foldable Of 2024?

[@lennyseventy4]

As a UK owner of the V3 for around 6 weeks,I am surprised with your software comment. Not sure where cartoony and chinese is coming from unless you are actually using a chinese rom phone. I have found it so much better than Samsungs child like and cluttered OS. It feels slick and well polished to me as a previous S24 Ultra and Pixel 7 pro user. Takes a bit of getting used to after a change over from another OS but has some great features that I'm enjoying. Latest update added Googles circle to search despite the Magic OS already having its own version and I think the future is looking bright as the sales of this phone look to be going through the roof. My personal opinion would be not to dismiss this phone on the software as I think it has everything you need for an enjoyable user experience. This is the phone i have enjoyed the most over the S24 Ultra and Pixel Pro.

[@marcelontech]

I fully agree with you. I believe to be the best foldable on the market as of Oct 2024

[@matttavener2888]

Same. Quality phone

[@ericbrink8305]

I'm using it for a month now. Great phone, véry good pictures, good speakers. Bit slippery, so hold on to it carefully. Software is also useful. For me the battery is outstanding, at least a day, and ending the day with 25 or 30 procent.

[@marcelontech]

Totally agree with you. It can be slippery but the case in the box helps.

[@LordFergie]

How much screen on time do you do because I'm charging twice per day and ending the day needing charged again.. battery health is showing as perfect. Due to the speedy charging I don't mind but one charge for whole day and still having 20-30 sounds insane to me

[@petercotton89]

I'm enjoying the device. Tbh most of the problems you've quite rightly raised are the same across the board for all foldables.

[@marcelontech]

Agreed however the software is. Variable bit also the hardware on this device is a bit above I would say

[@petercotton89]

@@marcelontech Fair comment but tbh I used to have the Magic Pro 5 and the software seems to have improved massively, hopefully things will only improve. Thanks for the vid!

[@marcelontech]

@@petercotton89 Thank you for comments and absolutely the software has gotten much better thank you. it is also very versatile

[@chiapohjoo5283]

Nobody ever notice that the crease of the display can deteriorate over time with leakage by a green line along the fold and that is the reason why honor offers a free replacement of the inner LTPO screen within a year. So be aware before committing to part with $2K.

[@marcelontech]

Interesting find and perhaps a good point

[@Minhson2008]

I am sure you have a chinese version. I have the global version and it is absolutly diferent from the chinese version! Works perfectly with google AI cloud, perfect android auto, everything!

[@marcelontech]

No my device was the global release version. Some updates have changed and improved the functionality.

[@gautamt5014]

This is the type of video a content creator makes to try become famous in order to get clicks. When the resounding verdict of the device is positive. This isn’t journalism, it’s sensationalism, then again, as a creator, I get that you have to do this.

[@marcelontech]

Thank you for your comment and sensationalism is a bit a stretch but fun to read.

[@gautamt5014]

@@marcelontech note: my Honor is on backorder, so it's a biased comment 😂

[@Johangraziano]

I dont understand the problem you list. Every folding phone have the same problem with screen and also the cameras. A folding phone dont compare with a regular top phone like 16 pro max or S24 ultra when it comes to the camera, because of the difference in thickness. Also the price is the same when it comes to folding phones. If you want a folding phone you dont have any choice to avoid it

[@marcelontech]

So you agree that the folding phones can have the problems I have listed? Also when the consumer is asked to pay such large quantities of money I think it's fair for us to ask for the best the company can offer in terms of cameras

[@angelposadasabater3292]

bought it new for 1300 usd in bangkok.

[@marcelontech]

Wow nice find that's a great price.

[@HypaHypa69]

Is this your first ever folding phone?!? Like seriously mate….the only time I’ve seen inner screen issue problems is from like 1st and second gen Samsung folds.

[@marcelontech]

I hope you are right. Thanks for the comment

[@liamcollinson5695]

I feel like the durability concerns are universal I like to marvel at foldable screens but are way too clumsy to own one it's why I daily drive gaming phones because they are built like tanks

[@marcelontech]

Hahaha that's funny and honest. I get it but they are getting more durable

No way really. Will you buy the V3?

[@Sabakoe737]

Does the phone make a rattling noise when shake the phone?

[@marcelontech]

I did notice that but it comes from the camera lens that moves despite not being used.

[@UyAndrew-l4i]

Which of the foldables is reliable?

[@marcelontech]

They are all becoming more reliable and it is too early to say which has best track record. Better to look at you give your certain protection which Honor do.

[@niklasnagot6646]

I also have that sound on my honor magic v3. They added circle to search last update!

[@marcelontech]

Aha I missed that, thank you. Do you also have the cracking sound when unfolding?

I work in a very messy and dusty environment, anybody got and do something similar? lol

[@marcelontech]

I would be very very reluctant to use this device around a lot of sand or dust.

[@lancerose7568]

It's priced cheaper than Samsung's Fold 6, IV had both phones. You cannot really compare a folding phones camera with a non-foldable I would rather have a bigger screen on the inside to enjoy the photo more, than more megapixels I have had S24 Ultra. The phone is as strong as you can get for a foldable dropped mine twice not a mark on it.

[@marcelontech]

Brilliant thank you for that comment. I totally agree regarding the screen but I also want the camera to be the best they can to take advantage of that screen.

[@KeoNz]

Good review. Been using since the global launch and I agree with all 5 of your reasons. Camera is decent but subpar in low light condition compared to flagship devices. However I think its a acceptable trade-off given the sleekness and thinness of the device. Still in awe with its form factor 😍

[@marcelontech]

Absolutely agree. The low light is it's weakest format but they have included some amazing hardware which does take some great video and photos.

[@alexdalton2473]

The camera is amazing

[@marcelontech]

Yes it is pretty good

[@waelwardialasi8142]

The cracked sound from thr film protector. Dont worry

[@steffdia7080]

In think it comes from the spiral that surrounded by metal pipes.

[@marcelontech]

Oh is that correct it's the screen protector, you might be right

[@johngreensmith63]

[@RonRon-pk7ob]

This phone doesn't break if you drop it on the floor. Do your research before you make a review. Lastly, if you admire Samsung then get Samsung and stop trashing the best foldable in the world.

[@marcelontech]

Haha clearly didn't listen or read my description. Thanks for the feedback though

[@Jam-nv5gm]

The guy says the problem is the hinge and from what I understand, he points out this is a problem on ANY foldable! Again with the price, it seems to me he's saying ALL foldable are pricy. At no point he says it's worse than Samsung hardware wise. He says the software is worse than Samsung's, but I'd say that's a given!

[@marcelontech]

@@Jam-nv5gm thank you kindly. I actually love this phone very much but as you said the software is probably the weakest part of an otherwise brilliant device.

[@justmelry6322]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🫰🫰👎👎👎

[@g3orge573]

The biggest drawbacks for me were the camera and battery life, I felt like they were bad to the point I couldn't really justify using it over a normal form factor phone. I took the phone with me on a trip and the image processing was so bad it ruined a lot of my shots, the battery was also performing worse than my old phone that's on 90% battery health :( The software also had a few annoying issues, like spam notifications you can't disable whenever you fold/unfold with an app open, or the qualcomm aptX one every time you connect headphones.

[@marcelontech]

Interesting your experience with the battery I have always been impressed but then have always had regular access to charger. The notifications are little annoying with the app modification based on opening the device but I found this helpful most of the time. No experience with the earphone connectivity

[@Ariozo111]

Far from the best one, and it´s a Honor so that says some..:) For a solid Fold it´s only one brand so far, but many more "fun" around.

[@marcelontech]

Keeping it secret?

[@Nashe_Dete]

Explaining mid screen cracking showing examples of other folding phones 🤣 v3 can survive a washing machine, try dropping an Iphone from 1.30m and talk about vulnerabilities

[@marcelontech]

Absolutely right. This foldable is built to last and let's hope it does

[@steffdia7080]

Honor Magic v3 can survive 40 metre underwater. At 50 metre the Honor Magic V3 became black screen.

[@Lincandoubtyou]

I have it but returning it. The camera is absolutely ridiculous. I do not want to have a flagship camera and do not moan about something special. Just the colours are not real at all. Old samsung or any other non flagship device will do much more natural photo…. Do not buy this guys trust me

[@marcelontech]

Interesting

[@izhamsham843]

As a guy, I have very seldom used the camera on any of my phones so it's never been a factor for me.. in fact, I straight away skipped the camera part i.e. reason #3 in this video 😁.. and I am sure most guys will agree on this.. so this will be a factor for the girls, or the 3 or 4 guys who like to selfie

[@niklasnagot6646]

I do not agree, the colors are more accurate than most other phones.

[@admckenna1870]

The camera has problems complete messes up peoples faces the ai needs dialed back shocking quality.

I agree with the AI tuning and for some reason it saturates the videos post filming. Can be switched off though
