FINE! - I'll build my own Folding Phone! (Worlds Thinnest)

My new folding phone just arrived... Do it yourself style. Check out the worlds thinnest book style folding phone, the Honor Magic V2 HERE: www.hihonor.com/global/phones... and huge thanks to honor for sponsoring this video. It's pretty mind blowing how thin and light a flagship folding phone can get! The Honor Magic V2 is just 9.9mm thick and weights only 231 grams! #HONORMagicV2 #IFA23 #HONORIFA2023 #UnfoldTomorrow

A stroke of genius by Honor to send you the phone already disassembled! They probably figured you'd break it when testing it, and you would therefore not do a tear down of it, so they made you assemble it first and then break it!

[@chrislira6680]

Honestly love the idea of buying a phone and assembling it yourself. More companies should have this option with a kit to put your phone together at a slightly cheaper price since they won't have to assemble

[@daruyami]

Actually it's the reverse - they would have to disassemble already assembled phones. The same happens with the Framework laptops - they need to assemble them first to test if they work like they should (and if they even are assemblable in the first place, defects happen) and then if you chose the disassembled version then they have to disassemble them. There somewhere was LTTs video where he has shown the factory of Framework laptops where he also explains this process.

[@UJustGotGamed]

@@daruyami sorta kinda with traditional QC, but in factories like the one where the Raspberry Pis are made, they're automatically tested by a machine that plugs everything in

[@_shadow_1]

@@daruyami There are some edge cases where they may be able to salvage the internals from a unit with a busted case or a case from some bricked internals which can save money depending on the circumstance. You are right they almost always have to assemble even those units with salvaged parts first to ensure that the refurbished units built with them actually do work and can be assembled properly now.

[@AutisTECH96]

I hope this leads to other companies to form a trend like this, to a point where advanced users can assemble phones, themselves, for years to come, absolutely genius, if you ask me!

[@devnol]

As a nerd I would kill to be able to do that but warranty liability would like to have a word with us. Other than that, I would see this as an absolute win since production costs can be reduced by cutting out on assembly. However, this may counter-intuitively not always be the case. Framework for example, will sell you a diy kit for their laptop where you have to assemble it yourself (or at least populate the barebones parts like storage, ram and networking) but as the somewhat recent factory tour by ltt showed, they still need to assemble, and then in some cases even DISassemble the device in the factory for qa and test purposes, meaning that it actually is more time and resource-intensive to have such a diy offering. If you actually read all this I sincerely apologize for wasting your time but also thanks, you rock!

[@Wynorrific]

@@devnol I feel like warranty liability could work. If we can make desktops from parts that can cost thousands and get warranties, I think we can do so with some phone parts

[@XxASHB0URNExX]

It's actually genius. Instead of sending you pre-assembled phones that get destroyed during the tear down, sending you the unassembled parts to assemble them yourself serves the same purpose of the tear downs while still keeping the phone alive. Also as a bonus it's really satisfying to see all those tiny parts come together to make a working phone. Great video.

I've had my ZFold 4 since launch morning and I love it. I would highly recommend a folding phone as a daily phone. I'd always wanted one since the first model came out back in 2019 and finally got one in 2022. It still blows my mind and I'm not sure I'll ever go back to a traditional single-screen phone

[@SergioEduP]

I also own a z fold 4 and love it. But I would not recommend it for most people, it is a really cool and impressive piece of tech but 99% of people would not make any use of the hardware, and would only use it to show off and brag. There is no need for a device on the cutting edge just to mindlessly scroll on tiktok. That said I will probably never go back to single screen phones either.

[@htsunmiku]

​@@SergioEduP precisely. 4 user also. I highly recommend it but only to people who are 100% sure it's what they want. The price is still up there for a concept that's still working itself out. I'd say we're almost there tho.

Right? I bought Z Flip 3 thinking I'd just try it and if it breaks, it breaks. Wouldn't you know it, damn thing is still going strong after few falls that ended up with scratched edges and daily use. They're much more resilient that they seem.

[@michaelerdmier1311]

@tyrannosaurus_x I agree. I've dropped mine pretty good a few times and I haven't scratched either screen or outside and it functions perfectly fine. The 1 issue I had was the built-in screen protector on the inside screen that got airbubbles after 9 months and I removed it with no issues.

[@tyrannosaurus_x]
