HONOR Magic V3 Review - An Amazing Foldable!

[@GFourGadget]

It's much more innovative than Z Fold6 while being thinner, lighter, and even more durable. HONOR's leading the foldables market soon!

[@snoepox1257]

The battery is even worse than the Samsung Fold 6 :( thats no good! Probably have to wait for the OnePlus Open 2!

[@pospower]

​@@snoepox1257where do you get your info. V3 5150 vs Fld 6 4400. This charges 66v vs fold 25. Charge in no time lasts like 5 hours a day longer

The most unpretentious and detailed reviews compared to some KZbinrs. You're living the life doing tech reviews and living in a beautiful part of Spain. Almost 500k subscribers now! Do you find normal smartphones like the Oppo Find X7 Ultra have superior cameras?

[@Techtablets]

Thanks. Yes the flagship camera phones like X7 Ultra or X100 Ultra do have great cameras.

[@MattyRRG]

Great, in depth vid! I'd actually like to see a comparison between the Honor Magic V3 and the Vivo X Fold 3 pro/non pro. I'm actually in the market for a new foldable and those ones are my top contenders.

[@westonstatt5655]

I own both, a vivo and, a honor. the vivo has better software and honor has better hardware. I think vivo is the better of the two all things considered

[@Ted_Kenzoku]

vivo is better but it only came out in 2 countries so very hard to find a global version and they are overpriced. chinese version isn't worth the headaches

[@AandKs]

If you're thinking about buying a foldable, I would suggest waiting for the One plus open 2... Rumored to be realised in early November.

[@nimbleduck]

I thought they were skipping a year and nothing coming out this year?

I like a phone that doesn't feel like wet glass already slipping out my hand while holding it.. the fact it comes with a cover sold me.😊

[@maddada]

Amazing review thank you! TechNick got 2 million on his review, and Tech Guy got 1,850,000 Antutu on his game test video. Your score is the lowest I've seen from all of the other reviews, and I'm not sure why yours is getting these low scores, might be a misconfiguration.. I have the Chinese version of the phone and get consistent max 120 FPS in all the heavy games I play (doesn't throttle at all) I would recommend putting the notch to the top left when playing heavy games because you don't feel the heat since you're not touching the camera. You can also use High performance mode or Game mode to avoid fps dips (phone artificially limits performance too much without these) All the best, really love your videos.

[@davidbezzant9820]

Yeah pretty sure tecnick got close to 2 million

[@maddada]

@@davidbezzant9820 Yep, just checked his review 2m in Antutu is definitely achievable with some background apps optimizations which TechTablets didn't do it looks like.

Strange I just let the phone cool as per normal and just run and this was my result.

[@davidbezzant9820]

@@Techtablets oh no doubt mate you know what your doing. I just think there's some optimization to be done on the thing. GSMArena got close to your scores on antutu but way better stability scores on 3D mark. You definitely put it in high performance mode? Cheers Chris

[@Stefan1006]

Excellent review. I know I'm probably being daft hoping for a reply, but would you recommend this phone, or waiting for the OnePlus Open 2? My current Z Fold 3 is still going strong, just the battery is atrocious now. So I'm not in a huge rush.

[@martinhsu5380]

I love the phone included charging block and phone case.

[@takeda0123]

I watch these reviews in awe as I don't know anyone around me who daily fondles a phone that costs almost $2,000. I certainly am not a part of that exclusive group who seemingly are half of the world population by looking at thousands of KZbin videos. People asked for thin, sexy, foldable phones and now they seem to got it. Just don't drop it and should you need repair or warranty honored, where are you going to get it honored? haha...that was fun. I only have a candy bar phone that costs $1,200 so I'm jealous....haha.

[@sunnycyberbum]

I bought a Fold 3 for 750€ if you don't want the newest phone on the market just buy a/some generation older if you really want a folding phone

[@Ted_Kenzoku]

I'm pretty sure half of the world is more than a few thousands

[@akramabuzait2274]

The novelty of it wears off quickly. Source: used to daily drive both flip n fold at the same time and couldn't wait to get rid of either for normal candybar. There's a reason why nobody around you fondles/craddle these phone daily, it's not that useful unless you only use your phone for everything, literally.

[@Ted_Kenzoku]

@@akramabuzait2274 that's why the honor is better. You can use it as a normal slab phone all day. Then use the bigger screen when needed. You're not compromising

[@pospower]

There is a KZbinr called average dad that's selling it for $1,250 British pounds which comes out to 1600 and $60 US that includes shipping tax he doesn't charge tax to me that's not a bad deal out the door for a phone like this it's actually much cheaper than buying it from honor now you don't get all the free stuff but I never used a free stuff.

Samsung really needs to step up their foldable devices, especially with rear camera arrangements since they keep the same megapixel counts for many years.

[@dillonbanks609]

My only problem with foldables is the inner screen aspect ratio on apps. What’s the point of a bigger screen if you not gonna utilize it for watching content

[@zodiacfml]

the industry should starting make 1:1 camera sensors for foldables-such a sensor better utilize the camera lenses. the inner screen only compelling for gaming but no foldable is great at gaming. with a square aspect ratio camera, the inner screen becomes great for viewing photos and videos.

you can not complain about the battery size given the thickness (or thinness) of this phone. no company in the market can achieve the battery size given the same thickness. definitely NOT samsung or pixel fold.

[@pospower]

Both the displays are so much dimmer than my Fold 4 for some reason. I don't have any auto brightness enabled. Do you have any idea why please? Other than that I love the V3

[@SDav21]

Why wouldn't you use dynamic refresh rate? When you're staring at a static image it does not need to be refreshing so fast? Also, it has a performance mode you can switch on.

[@Techtablets]

Performance was used for the gaming and benchmarks.

[@Kiyoshi_9606]

Desktop Mode: 4K support? 120hz output? Aspects other than 16:9 supported? Dolby Vision output? (if so, I will be buying this ASAP! if not, i'll pester another reviewer lol ~ DP 1.2 should support oddball resolutions, too)

[@Kiyoshi_9606]

Only Sony Xperia phones can do Dolby Vision, as far as I know... but I'm not a reviewer, I might be ignorant of this key fact on color reproduction... 0 phones released can do over 60hz on Desktop Mode, sadly (except maybe this one?)

[@mikecampbell1511]

Thanks for this review, how was moving subject pictures? Much blur at all?

[@timokvamme]

I'm wondering if you still use this foldable and find that is a competitor for your daily driver phone?. And how about cases for it?, is it possible to use a magsafe case?

[@Techtablets]

Hi yes I'm still using it and love it such good hardware and overall one of the best foldables. Massage 3rd party cases maybe from AliExpress

[@sdqsdq6274]

the idea of a folding phone is to make thin and fit in a pocket well , they must have custom a battery which probably the cause for other brand to be thicc

[@marekd4599]

It is greate phone , but i am looking forward for next week on Huawei Mate XT - 3 fold fone. That will be game changer. Finally no black bars on opened phone and real tablet size screen. Just one drawback - no Google play services, and probably price.

Unbelievable how thin they can make a foldable nowadays! But, to be honest, for me it don't have to be that thin 😉 Just give me the Samsung Z Fold 6 build but with the Honor Magic V3 size ánd options (IR blaster, bigger battery, wireless charging etc.) The thickness of the Z Fold 6 is perfect enough!
