First time stumbling across your channel. Been watching phone videos for years and years so don't know how I've missed it! Absolutely outstanding video this one with clear, slow, precise and seemingly unbiased review of both phones. Keep them coming like this and I'll be watching before any others from now. Subbed and liked ❤👏👏👏

[@AverageDadOfficial]

hey, thanks very much! means a lot that you took the time to watch my video 👍🙏

[@Paul.in.Ireland]

Need a v2 "global" version v OnePlus open update....

[@CHRISINCOGNITO]

I subscribe today because you started your video with the exact content I was Looking for. I have watched at least 10 other videos Looking for a proper speaker comparison? Your's is the best And one of the few To cover it at all. I got exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[@gold6813]

Been eagerly awaiting this!

[@83Haukka]

Thanks for the great video! Been happy Samsung Note user around 5 years and been waiting years for Fold to arrive in this format. It never came and now I am a happy Oneplus Open user. Was waiting for Honor V2 also but they're too late.

[@captainlcm]

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Reformedtousen]

Im glad your channel is growing and blowing up you deserve this bro you've been working hard I've been here since you only had a couple hundred subscribers I've been thinking about get the OnePlus I've had the z-fold four for years and I'm just over Samsung

Great review! I just have a doubt on oneplus' service if the inside screen were to crack or come out. Any views on the durability vs the Z fold series?

[@11LIVVY]

I agree, I have had mine for just under a week and I can't pick any faults with it.

[@jamesross6953]

Im gonna say you absolutely nailed it..! I'm Cj ; and I only follow a few reviewers such as Flossy Carter ,you, and two others thank you for your honesty reviews.!!!

[@AverageDadOfficial]

I appreciate that! Flossy is the GOAT

[@marlonfrankson8615]

100% correct about samsung taking the mick, the same phone for 3 years, no charger, no case just a new SOC each time, oneplus has done a brilliant job, they've made a phone with the right aspect ratio that's bigger than my zfold4, but because it's so light and thin it seems somehow smaller. Great video dad.

[@jesusnavarrete6317]

I traded my Fold 4 for this and don't regret it. Now the 6 may be amazing and I'll go back. But Samsung went mediocre

[@Maxx134a]

Most of the competition already studied the OnePlus hardware well. Samsung is currently "reverse engineering" the top Huawei foldable(!), to try figure out how to make a thinner fold..😮 So next year will be interesting.

[@helterskelzer3883]

Fold 5 still gives you the most polished experience

[@joshuabergeman354]

As someone who has the OnePlus Open and for who that is the first foldable it's definitely a awesome first experience. That being said I really want Samsung to make a Zfold with a similar aspect ratio on the outside screen. That's literally the only thing keeping me from getting the Zfold since OneUI is my preference by a huge margin. Maybe one of the other Chinese brands could give me all the things OneUI does but with all the other drawbacks of importing a Chinese brand other than OnePlus I just don't think I can do it.

[@timdawg9198]

I concur with you as much as I can. While I only have the Vs as my comparison model but with having all my other foldables as well I like the Open by far. Once again this might not be the case once the global V2 drops but that is months away.

[@damianjfilms]

I agree with you as far as Samsung. That's the reason I didn't upgrade my fold 3 to the 4 or 5. I'm loving my Oneplus Open! Right now my fold 3 has no audio when open,and my wife's fold 3 won't fully open. Samsungs customer service is giving us the craziest run around as far as repairs and replacements after paying for the care package monthly . The only thing I will miss is dex and the tracking feature for video/video calls. As we speak I'm here trying to repair my fold 3 myself 😑....

[@fiziedon]

Yup, agree.. im not upgrading my fold 4 to fold 5... more update rather than upgrade 😂

[@damianjfilms]

@@fiziedon right 😁... They drop new hardware that is similar to the previous with new software that will eventually end up on the older devices. Makes no sense man.

[@ramama987]

I am literally on the same spot as you were 2 months ago when making this comment. Still with my F3, with a broken inner screen and refused warranty change. So now I just have to figure out how to get the Oppo pen imported... Samsung and apple can sell phones to their sheep with the unnovation that they are doing.

[@mkordy9812]

Ive been looking into getting a foldable for the last couple of days and everytine i search up one of those phones your videos show up. Im like whos this average dad guy? Why tf a guy named average dad would make all these tech videos? Boy oh boy was i soooo wrong, im so sorry. I've been binge watching every single videos of yours, phones that im not even slightly interested in and still watching through the whole video. Thank you so much for clearing so many of my confusions. Oneplus open it is for me! Keep up the good work mate. You've just gained another loyal subscriber. ❤

@@AverageDadOfficial getting the oneplus open soon hopefully. This video actually settled me for the open. Really liked the x5 fold as well but dont wanna risk it with huawei as it will be my first foldable.

[@bradleyliebl2931]

I bought a open and have it on 2 Sim with Google fi and Verizon, working great. I heard it has usbc video out also, going to test it tonight on my nreal glasses. Tested and video out works on the one plus for the nreal now xreal. I have had the fold 2, 4, and 5 so it made me nervous to switch. So far though the open does everything the fold did, and it seems easier programming wise to set up and link to things.

Will you do a comparison with the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3?.. SW wise that might be the closest apart from being a Chinese ROM.

Bit off topic but I know you are the man, if I buy an honor 90 pro from china can I install Google services on it? Conflicting advice online

[@fritzleelegaspi5731]

can you make another comparison of honor magic v2 and oneplus open when you have the GMS update ?

[@Ali3hamodi]

Does the OnePlus open still feel like a brick when folded? I really hate my zfold 5 for this matter and two months in using it and still unable to get used to that! Not sure if a wait for honor v2 international edition is worth it or just trade in my zfold5 for the OnePlus open!

Hi there loving your videos But I am stuck with which phone to buy I am looking at vivo xfold 3 pro or oppo find n3 please what is you advice for and which is a better build .I have already a xfold plus and it is a very well built phone that's what I always look for . Would love some advice please

[@AverageDadOfficial]

x fold 3 pro is better, newer chip and IP8 water resistant

[@BigBoss-mq2mu]

Will it be the same with the google and Android auto or has there been some sort of hack

Always!

[@andreamagnano2891]

I have my vivo xfold 2 and I believe is an amazing machine.. I truly believe that xfold 3 will be the next year with the likes of 1+ which I love btw. So next year my take will go with one of these 2.unless a rollable comes out

[@stephenbarraclough5242]

Just wanna say found your channel recently, and the contents been really helpful. im still stuck between what fold i want. but very helpful. Would rather the Honor V2 but android auto is a must for me. One plus for me was always a miss with the camera which i use alot, samsungs ......... just feel like they dont inovate as much as they should for having the only 5th gen fold.

[@ghempunzalan]

So much happy with my One Plus Open. Completing the setup of my 1+ Fold and will sell my Pixel Fold.

[@stronggeek]

Yep, I agree. I'm listing my fold5 today!

[@mikeockslong5822]

I have heard different Things about the hinge now. One KZbinr trashes the hinge on the Honor and say the Oneplus is better and now the other was around. Do you think there are some quality Control issued?

[@lanzhao]

Is the magic v2 you reviewed running a China ROM? I played with one just today and I can tell you the experience is great with no hacks or anything special needed to run Google stuff like play store and Gboard.

[@fiziedon]

AT LAST.. TQ SO MUCH FOR THE GENUINE COMPARISON ❤

[@AverageDadOfficial]

My pleasure!

[@ramama987]

OMG thanks, I just found your channel... I couldn't find this content anywhere else... And this Oneplus has pen support and no one talks about it. I've been waiting for January 26th for Honors global launch like an idiot...

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Glad you found me dude!

[@stronggeek]

I agree with you on the onplus open being the best, but the fold5 smokes the pixel fold on processor alone! Less visible crease and folds flat am9ng other things. Otherwise, great comparison!

Q. : do you think the software problems with Honor (specifically the google store/auto ... etc.) will stop with the international release?!

[@davidm4773]

I completely agree with the Samsung rant! I have a fold three and was hoping the fold five would be much more like the OnePlus open. I'm holding out to see if the fold 6 will finally have a proper sized outer screen and less of a crease (not to mention better cameras), but if not I will for sure be getting the OnePlus open/open 2!!!! Samsung better get the fold 6 right!

[@okeyjudeofficial]

I hear that the one plus open has a defective screen after 3 months, people have also complained about the phone mic being low when making phone calls and finally bad after sales service. Con you comment please?

Most likely!

@@AverageDadOfficial great, hope that we get the launch soon, their official website (at least in germany) says it comes on 26th January but there is still no official pricing

[@johng9422]

Thanks for the review. I am watching this on the Oneplus Open, it is a far better device than the Honor. The honor has a poor software, heating issues, the hinge is by far not as good etc. Also the displays are of previous generations. Samsung however is still king on foldable software by far.

[@tonymediati8274]

I think the Magic V2 is a strong contender in the foldable market,I think I’ll wait to see what improvements are made on both phones next year

Can we have one revisit now since the global version of Honor is out.

wait so if i buy the v2 from honor direct, or three uk, i wont get android auto ?

[@AverageDadOfficial]

?? of course you will... you will not get AA if you import the Chinese ROM...

[@TheTenth666]

it seems the limitation on the horizontal multitask on the V2 depends on which app you're using, some are compatible with other, some aren't

[@AverageDadOfficial]

This is true of all phones

[@AFriskyPigeon]

Hi mate, really been enjoying your videos whilst contemplating getting a folding phone over the last few months! Based on this I'm sorely tempted to go with the OnePlus Open, but I'm still on the fence as the total price I'd be paying for either that or the Magic V2 is around £1200 (student deals and coupons through OP, and WondaMobile for the Honor). I would normally steer clear of importing a China Only device, but based on the recent news of the Google Services update, I am extremely torn. Now GS are available on the Magic V2 in their entirety, would you still go with the OP? My only real concern with it is the extra thickness, but buying it direct from OP rather than a secondary source for the Honor is another factor...

[@chappersish]

I never join KZbin channels, however I just joined, and my reasoning is simple.... Average Dad in my humble opinion is the best smart phone reviewer by a long way on YT. KZbin is full of promoted garbage and it is so refreshing to have unbiased, honest, humble reviews. His content is always structural, with a detailed explanation to back up anything he compares/states. I just hope my £2.99 goes somewhere to help you create more great honest content.

[@femiomomo4467]

Ok I have two unrelated comments. 1 Samsung have a 12 Megapixel camera because a 12 Megapixel sensor is better in low light, because the pixels capture more light. My rant I need expandable storage, a headphone jack, and a I.R Blaster, I travel a lot and as a photographer and I store photos from my camera and my phone , I also store movies and demonstration videos of my shoots. I stay in hotels a lot and most hotels now charge extra for a remote control for your TV, if you have a I.R blaster you can control most TV,s from your phone 📱 So the folded format would be great but I am not prepared to pay HUNDREDS MORE for a phone because it has ab it more memory which I can't swap out. Rant OVER! ❤ So I will go and buy the top ASUS gaming phone.

[@krzysztofkenobi8072]

Good talk to Samsung. Everybody who has Zfold I have advice: Fold your Samsung and Open the Oneplus :D I had Zfold 4 and when 5 came out I did not change to it. For me there were absolutely no major changes. I waited little and learned about Oneplus Open and as soon as possible I paid deposit and preordered it, and it was bulls eye choice. Every thing is better, form factor, wider cover screen benefits less mistakes when typing, crease invisible, battery 24h including over 8 hours screen on, cameras, I compared all 3 main and in Open all had more details and less noise in poor light, clean google software, I remember it took half a day to remove Samsung apps which were replacements for google apps, and there still was some non-removable crap left with annoying notifications. Zfold is only winner in horizontal multiwindow, some apps do not want to take half of screen in Open and theres a big top bar taking a lot of space. I never used a pen and wireless charging so its not importaint for me. Maybe I will be missing my 3 smarttags which I cant use anymore.

I love my pixel 8 Pro & I love my Z fold 5. I really want to try this phone, and as a matter of fact I have ordered and canceled the OnePlus three different times because I just can't decide.... One of the things that made me cancel for now, was actually GregglesTV... 48 hours in. He doesn't seem as impressed.. but even more concerning, hes suddenly saying it feels too wide when it's opened where before he kept saying he wished the z-fold 5 was wider.. now he is saying the Fold 5 is better when opened.. so for now, I'll keep watching you and others and decide

As much as i wanted to try OnePlus or Honor foldables, I still just ended up buying the Z fold5. Samsung just provides the best discounts and trade in deals. I was able to get 25% off, $25 off, trade in my z fold3, get a free 512gb ungrade to get the z fold5 for only $575. Just can't beat that kind of deal. If anyone pays for the z fold5 full price in the US, they are doing something wrong.
