Honor Magic V3 durability test - Is it unbreakable?

He could just fit it correctly, maybe? Look at that flipped shirt and crooked fitting. Looks like he was in a hurry and couldn't look in the mirror. Come on, Engadget.

[@maddada]

Have the phone for almost a month already and it's been really amazing! (Chinese ROM but modded to use Assistant) Looking forward to seeing the software features that they launch for the international version in IFA. I made some comparisons between Honor and Samsung on my channel if anyone is interested.

[@benlister7803]

This actually feels like movie magic of destroying a phone, then last minute swapping it for the honor. It's insane that it can take all that, I wouldn't do even a single one of these on my regular bar phone! Amazing!

[@davidbezzant9820]

This was awesome. I hope more manufacturers let you do this as part of your reviews as well. Great job guys

The best foldable in the making 🔥

This is great stuff, Will. Keep up the great work!!

[@akf2000]

I'm watching this on my V3. It's so good man. The only thing I miss from Samsung is the row of open apps when you press the right button on the status bar but that's ALL

[@ceritamalamseram1]

Did ur inner screen will permenant scratch if using finger nail?

[@invisiblekid99]

⁠@@ceritamalamseram1how is it permanent when it’s got a screen protector on?

[@mon_66]

I would've said it was sponsored if you didn't say it isn't. It's very tough. Do the same for other flagships if possible.

[@Neon-Noodle]

I'm doubtful tho because other tech channels also did durability tests for this phone out of nowhere

[@deltaechomusicnh555]

It was sponsored. He literally said they teamed up with Honor for this video.

[@youngfigaro]

​@@deltaechomusicnh555 Just because it's sponsored doesn't mean the Honor didn't survive the tests...

Wow! What tests! Just because of what you did, I'm buying the magic v3.👍

[@PetrucciIbiza]

Amazing love the test! And yes please do tests without plastic cover

[@kaiserfakinaway5909]

you guys went easy on the most important part, the inner screen. The rest of the durability test was absolute fire but I'd have loved to see some more insane stuff happening to the inner screen.

[@deltaechomusicnh555]

They literally dropped it directions on the exposed inner screen. What more do want?

[@youngfigaro]

What more do you want them to do?? They literally dropped it from above waist height onto solid ground, in what situation would you do more damage naturally?

[@kaiserfakinaway5909]

​@@deltaechomusicnh555 im talking about scratching or cutting. Not many people are concerned about drop protection since they're gonna use phat covers. But the screen is super fragile and is gonna be easy to scratch or cut. Would've loved to see how much pressure could've been applied till it cut with a fingernail, or how it reacts to a pencil or something.

Please take care of it if you're spending that amount for a phone then do not try to torture it even if it can take it.

I don't know why but seeing the phone slide through the fence like a bar of soap is so hilarious 😂

Great test. incredible phone!

[@NoHaBi02]

2:45 bro really said "let us know if you want to see the most important part of the durability test" under a video about doing a durability test on the phone. I clicked on the video, literally only to see that.

You should definitely implement the testing for all phones now on

[@andyyan]

Interesting! Thanks! Maybe doing the folding test to see how many times to break.

[@TazMo86]

This is not the regular video I was expecting from you guys You do reviews not durability tests

that is truly amazing... would never try any of that with my own expensive fold-able phone

After having the global version of this for 3 months my pet hate is the dust that gathers on it I love it but for the v4 dust resistant is a must.

❤ thanks

[@fitztastico]

Why did you put it in a hollow block of ice? Unless someone looks carefully, it looks a bit disingenuous as if you fully froze it

that "screen protector" seems like magic 😮😮

[@ag.vlogs.official]

Out of syllabus question: when os the updated phone buying guide expected?

[@BeyondtheHive336]

Why don't you show the removal of the phone from the washing machine ? You could've sped up footage to show draining, door unlock & its removal with no cuts or edits to demonstrate its legitimacy. Call me sceptical but I think i know why.

[@Rspsand07]

A washing machine is just some water. Ipx8 means 30 minutes of 2.5 meters. It's flashy, but it's nothing compared to the water rating. A real test would be swimming with it for half an hour. Because it should be completely fine to keep in your pocket so it doesn't get stolen at a resort if you don't stay in super long.

[@gamingsectre1534]

Wild way to test a phone 😂 jerryrigs would be proud

[@matheusguedesbaguiar]

Wooow 👀🔥🔥

[@SantiThapa]

I was so disappointed with samsung zfold 4 that the hinge got problem without any drops or bumps. I thought i would never ever buy a folding phone again in my life but this looks like my next folding phone 😊😊😊

[@mackyme001]

JerryRigEverything: A worthy opponent.

[@jackbaho]

The Honor Magic V2 - it’s Honor Magic V3.

[@jackbaho]

Foldable smartphones are inherently much more fragile than mainstream slab-style devices. honor wants to change that. Enter the Magic V3 - a foldable they will soon launch internationally. We had the chance to have a poke at it and see how hard it is to break.

[@bryangopan]

In dubai mall right side was samsung calling in everyone and claiming them devices ate the best and on left side in side a general electronic showroom ( jumbo) I met this beast - WOW . PRE ORDERED THE LETHER ONE

[@MarcoDominic]

But... What about dust?

[@radusstefan]

Mine got wet (splashed) and the foldable screen went black on 70% of the surface. I'll try some silica gel to see if it works

[@MrCosmin94]

No review ?

[@KK-ol5ov]

Scratch the screen protector with a finger nail is a bit of a concern though.

[@karlj.glogauer2835]

Funny vid; but when will we get a proper review 😞Especially concerned about heat dissipation with the device being so thin...

[@mariokreutz7414]

Honor can be proud!!! 5kg and it don't break...now I know why it cost € 2000,-...🎉

[@jonasezekiel3829]

Team means that Honor supplied the phone for testing and let GSM Arena test it, sponsor means that you are paid to promote a product the way the manufacturer desires. So they teamed with Honor simple eeengleesh.

[@andyH_England]

No, they provided it to creators, knowing they had developed a phone far more durable than Samsung's. Gaining attention is challenging due to affiliated KZbin channels, so they refrained from paying as they were confident the results would speak for the V3's quality on their own.

[@PeterdaPanda]

But can it survive the ligma and updog test?

[@GtheJuggler]

Use it on a sandy beach on a windy day than wait few days for the send to work it's way to the oled panel than touch it with your finger = black (dead) screen spots. All foldable phones survive drop tests but dust will kill all of it.

[@andyH_England]

Honor has not claimed dust resistance, so conducting such a test would be unreasonable.

[@GtheJuggler]

@@andyH_England I know but dust is where all foldable phones fail. Most harsh environment has dust. It can survive the drop but than the dust on the ground kills it.

[@nerryluc4285]

As from January 2025, no review video has done on this phone.

[@iwasahoneybadger5946]

Do you ever just open up your freezer to find a phone in a block of ice?

Had my magic 3 for a week and have been really careful with it. Have 3 scratches on the front screen already

[@felipecarvalheiragarcia2937]

Mine dropped once from my pocket, with full case. Made a bubble on the outer screen. Not cracked but it's annoying anyways

[@thefishdog]

interesting, A good phone for construction and industrial engineering sites , no flagship sports car but more like a truck or a van. work phone market

[@King_504]

Should've tried folding it the wrong way to test the hinge

[@benwoo2631]

I have been using Samsung and they are really prone to screen issues when drop. Already 4 ~5 phone has either lines on the screen or blank screen like my zfold4.... and their support is ridiculous, basically replace the entire fold screen module, for every single different issues not even related to the screen, which almost half the price of the original phone.

[@VivekU007]
