HONOR Magic V3 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: Which is better? | smashpop

[@nathansmith3727]

Lack of improvement between my z fold 4 and the z fold 6 put me off upgrading, I've had Samsung's for the last 10 years but I've ordered myself the V3.Time for a change

[@mersimh]

exactly the same situation, i loved Samsung for being Samsung, had the fold 3, waited every year and nothing happened, got a s24 ultra and well im also done with candybar phones. Samsung lost me also as a customer, i need innovation, and i tested the software extensively on the Honor, it's not bad at all, they are even a lot of apps that do all the Good lock stuff from Samsung 😊

[@ericchong9304]

Exactly same for me too. Z fold 4 user, disappointed with Z gold 6 specs, last night ordered V3. #timeforachange

[@YoungBlaze]

i wonder if the v3 will let me trade in my fold 3 or 5 lol

[@SooHooSamaSito]

Let me know if buyer's remorse sets in after the shiny new toy feeling goes away.

[@IzzoG]

@@mersimh Which apps does the (Samsung Good lock stuff) on Honor magic phones>?

[@iZacq]

*Few Questions if we switch from One UI:* 1) Any App like GoodLock on it 2) Can we just Lock the Front Screen to Potrait, like we can with GoodLock & keep Inside Screen to Auto (Bixby Routines) 3) Can we choose any App to open up, when we connect to Bluetooth Headphones - Routines in GoodLock 4) Will Excel Sheets work just like on Samsung, Read Edit for FREE 5) Any issues opening Apps in Full Screen, does it have option to Force open Apps in Full Screen, like we have in Samsung 6) Will we able to do a FREE Full Cloud Back like in Samsung ☆(have to pay monthly for iPhone) 7) Can we download Themes & just Icons of Themes ? Does it have a Theme Store ? 8) Will we be able to change Back, Home, Multiple Icons like in - NavStar in GoodLock 9) Will we able change Task Changer in SlimList, like we can with - HomeUp in GoodLock 10) OneHand Operation & Routines features anything similar on it - GoodLock 11) Can we Stack Widgets like in Samsung ☆ 12) Does it have PlayStore or.... Hope to see more of Tri-Fold phones, which are the real Z Phones, Folds should be V Fold

I can only address some of those. 5) I haven't run into any issues yet. 7) They have a theme app and store. 12) It has Google Play Store and their own app store on Gobal version.

[@TapTheTab]

i support tech reviewer to bash Samsung for sitting inside their comfort zone, that's the way to force them to accelerate their pace but i would say the battery efficiency of Fold 6 is better than V3 despite having smaller size of battery, but yeah V3 charging speed compensated that.. Fold 6 video and camera output is actually comparable with the output of v3, except telephoto zoom i guess it's still down to customer's preference they prefer Samsung slightly more polished software and higher brand awareness (conservative mindset) or V3's specs-rich device but lower brand awareness (adventurous mindset) was hoping Honor would give better price discount for preorder though, cuz we could still get Fold 6 with 15% rebates + RM700 trade in value, which ultimately being priced slightly lower than V3

[@Brainiac5]

Not sure what you mean by the Fold 6 being better with battery when there are extreme battery life tests on youtube showing the fold6 die first before the honor. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGjOqmijlpiZnLM

[@SDav21]

I don't get the thing about Samsung having a more polished software. I have an Honor Magic 6 Pro and had a Samsung S20 before it. The Samsung's UI feels like a cluttered convoluted mess compared to the easy clean to use UI on the Honor.

[@LazypunK07]

[@my987TVmy]

China is making huge strides in the tech world! It's exciting to see how they're pushing boundaries with both smartphones and electric vehicles. It's impressive how Chinese brands are offering high-quality products at competitive prices. They're clearly putting in a lot of effort to innovate and deliver value for money. It's a testament to their dedication and ambition. I have a feeling we're going to see even more incredible things coming from China in the future. It's definitely a force to be reckoned with!

[@SeymourWalden]

Yes the magic V series is a nice looking alternative to the Samsung fold line. However it's missing some basic capabilities that are essential to "my" personal use. The biggest for me is the fact that the magic doesn't support Ultra Wide Band, being able to use your phone as a digital key is an important feature for me. The lack of support of this feature made me switch back to the zFold line.

[@TheSteve1605]

As a Samsung enthusiast, I acknowledge that Honor surpasses Samsung in terms of design and specifications. However, a significant aspect of Samsung's appeal lies in its software, which I believe is superior.

[@morm2173]

In hardware Honor and Vivo are in a league of their own by lightyears superiority and even as a Samsung Knight I admit that. However, in software Samsung is phenomenal with stylus gestures , Samsung TV gaming emulation ecosystem, galaxy AI like sketch to image my favorite multi tasking etc. I will import Honor and Vivo to Here in the US because the hardware is incredible!

[@ZwRkAn007]

I've been samsung fan boy for whole life, bought fold 4 and hoping to switch to fold 6 but seeing it been the same as my fold 4 (was hoping for s-pen inside a phone at least) and now I've ordered my self honor V3. camera is better, it's slimmer, the thing that foce open at the end is actually better becouse my fold 4 do not open 180 even with force anymore, front screen is wider finally. if it all goes nice I'm gonna switch ecosystem 👍🏻

[@ubitoyschannel9943]

Saya memang fan honor dari Honor 8 pro lagi dan sekarang pakai Honor 70... bila Fold 6 keluar saya beli Fold 6 dan suka... apatah lagi saya link dgn ultra. Tak nafi Honor memang power tapi saya tak kisah bagi saya fold 6 ada hiddem gem. Fold 6 pun dah ada upgrade phone Fold 6 Slim... tggu dan lihat

[@drfuzzy73]

You're quite right. Honor Magic V3 is the clear winner overall. However, Samsung hinge better at any angle compared to Honor. Battery life although Samsung's smaller battery, is comparable with the Honor. Samsung's front display does not support pen but Honor's front display does. Magic OS 8 UI has improved tremendously, you can drag any app to create shortcuts to the app - eg. Grab if drag, can create different shortcuts for food, car etc. Samsung supports updates up to 7 years. Strong security feature from Samsung Knox. Honor's updates lagged behind by a lot to other phone brands. No clear indication how long the updates will be supported

[@doc.3li]

You didn’t mention the dust resistance, this is the most important feature in foldable phones and I think this one goes for samsung 😏

[@mramg6038]

I'm actually taping on the owner V3 right now. The software takes some time to set up, however once it's done it actually works fairly well. I use the Samsung z fold 3, and iPhone 14 Pro Max until yesterday. Id say the disappointment for me is not having imessage and apple TV library anymore, but thats easy to fix by using itunes. Not having contact photos is also quite annoying but maybe that's just me. Otherwise of more or less have to say software is just as good as any other device.

[@vandyrvtransport6430]

I dont know why no one ever talks about upgrade cost. But you'll talk about a free case Honor gives you?!?! I'm in the USA with a Samsung S23 Ultra 5G ready to move to a foldable. Honor DOES NOT give me a trade-in so I need to pay full price. Samsung will give me $1,100 for my S23 on its Black Friday special. Do the math! I'll stick with Samsung as they always give you this trade up option.

[@japhethmajaw9514]

[@tiflos20]

awesome video! thanks for all the details and the super sharp quality video

[@hous2tim964]

Personally, I have been using Samsung smartphones for several years. Even currently I'm using an S23 Ultra and haven't seen fit to upgrade to the S24 Ultra. This year has been a disappointing year for me as a consumer of Samsung products. This habit they have of wanting to imitate Apple annoys me to no end. For the Fold I expected a lot from the Z Fold 6 since having used the Z Fold 4 last year I hoped that this time Samsung would make a revolution with the Z Fold 6. But here again I was disappointed. I'm not necessarily a fan of thin smartphones but the size of the screens, especially external screens, matters to me. And I don't like the shape of the Z Fold 6's external screen. For Samsung I'm waiting to see what they'll release next year! And I hope that the anger of the boss of Samsung against the mobile department of this company will bear fruit. It would be a shame if Samsung, which gave us so many quality products, ended up like Nokia. I hope they will finally listen to consumers and give them what they want!

[@DVinstapics]

yeah, I have the fold 5 and the 6 was such a disappointment for me... Why cant Samsung just make a foldable with an external screen ratio like the Ultra and just make it 1 mm thinner. I don't need a phone as thin as the Honor, just a but thinner than the 5/6

[@irfannaqiuddin5598]

Betul, Honor Magic V3 lagi hebat dari Samsung Z Fold 6. In terms of hardware, quality and price Honor is the winner but Samsung offers better software support for up to 7 years of updates and Samsung has more third party accessories so you won't feel outdated.

[@amykpt283]

Cope harder. 7 years bla bla bla.. After 2 years screen will be green line. Hardware until 7 years?

[@mersimh]

@@irfannaqiuddin5598 that's so irrelevant, honor is givin 4 years full os updates and honestly who cares after 2 to 3 years. that 7 year update bullshit is purely good for PR

[@MrFredrictai]

I do consider software equally important for a mobile phone. Honor hardware is impressive but I decided to go with fold6. Reason is I need the S pen feature and also its AI translator.

[@mersimh]

@@MrFredrictai honor has pen support on both screens 😂 and also the AI stuff whis is bot important for me, i have that crap on my s24 ultra, all half baked honestly. but hey if the fold 6 makes you happy, 👍

[@Ernestgouk]

very clear understanding on both phone 😁! Im currently using iphone 12 pro max and thinking to upgrade either iphone 16 pro max or magic V3, does this magic V3 comes with similar function like apple pay? i found it very convenient and already get used to it.

[@amuroraysg]

agreed on all aspect.. but what about overall software experiences... does honor magic v3 provide specific customization to differentiate tablet experience from normal mobile.. i am a z fold 6 user and so far user experience was great.. but i want to know what does honor do to make v3 magic os a tablet friendly os. if the os experience is fantastic as one UI i may sway to that camp as well

[@hamodhossain4261]

well , z fold 6 has a ( better camera quality - better Oled screen colors - better audio & speakers - better speed - better software - monthly updates - more free stuff - more exclusive apps - more google services - more modern & updated android - dust resistance - better Gorilla glass scratch resistance - better CPU & GPU - better snap Dragon version - longer life span use - better gaming frame rates ) all these are more important than your bigger screen size ,, fast charging , free pen , thin design & weight .. so what are you talking about , you cannot just beat a 40 years of flag ship Korean-tech , with some knock off Chinese mid-tier or mid-range product because of some screen size & fast charging stuff bro lol

[@aqilalsayegh]

I had been using the Samsung Z fold since the 1st generation. I had issues with the hinges in the last 2 folds, which were supposed to have durable hinges. Fixing each of them costs more than USD 500 which is insanely high. Samsung has serious defects in the hinges, but they don't admit. They lost me a loyal customer after using Samsung devices for more than 15 years.

[@kening82]

The Samsung Galaxy Fold 6 is in a class of its own, with unmatched durability and performance, designed to withstand the test of time. Unlike the Honor Fold, which may seem impressive at first, the Galaxy Fold 6 continues to offer reliable innovation that simply outlasts the competition, much like comparing someone who is merely asleep to someone who is no longer with us. Samsung's "galaxyfied" excellence ensures that the Fold 6 remains the ultimate choice for those seeking cutting-edge technology and long-term reliability.

[@dfcvova]

Why didn't you say a word about the fact that a thin smartphone from VIVO heats up very much unlike Samsung? Samsung has thought of everything, that's why it doesn't chase thinness.

V3 looks great especially the cover screen, but at the end of the day, I'll get the z fold 6 as samsung is more accessible than honor. I also don't want to risk buying online from overseas as it is a huge money and don't know the future durability and warranty will bring.

[@ericchong9304]

Ya, time for a change. I've been using Samsung Note 2 until Z fold 4 which I've replaced the inside screen for 3 times in last 2 yrs (luckily got warranty), but I am disappointed with the specs of Z fold 6. Just pre-ordered V3.

[@bensonlau1775]

Congrats for your v3 pre-order. I just bought Z fold 6 pre-order last month due to my samsung note20 ultra screen spoilt suddenly. Thought of buying V2 tat time but decided to buy fold 6. My first fold phone tat i wanted for long ago. Im newbie in fold phone.

[@LordCommandor]

Decent review but as a five year fold owner, Samsung devices will simply always be a solid investment, just like buying one of their TVs. No one would ever go to Walmart or Bestbuy to buy and Honor tv or phone device. People buy well known reliable quality..... Samsung, LG...etc

[@zoelipop]

Love your attitude as a tech reviewer ❤ especially when you use your Melayu accent, so genuine 🎉 I'm using my F6 for months now since I got it from early PO in ID. Overall, am not bothered at all by its size, the thickness and shape, totally fine and it makes the grip so comfy, literally no issue. The only features that Honor put a shame to F6 are bigger battery and faster charger. The rest, i think it's going down to user's preference. In this case, Samsung with its matured UI, is its strength, likewise if you combo it with GoodLock, damn so comfy to use the phone with one hand. The Spen and notes features I'd say very practical and I haven't seen HV3 notes features yet. Lastly, SF6 Knox, it gives some kinda worry free, nothing to be afraid of your phone gets hacked by malware, such a peace of mind feature that HV3 hasn't flaunted it yet ❤ so for SF6 users, don't worry about it, our phone is still great, no big issues that require us to move to HV3 😅 hope on SF7, all the concerns are well addressed by Samsung ❤

[@liamporter1137]

Tried so many times on Samsung Fold but cannot accept the weight, thickness and dimension. Want to like it as I've using the S-Pen Samsung phones for so many years but failed. Samsung Fold is so yesterday. Samsung is too complacent and fallen behind competitors like Honor, Vivo, OnePlus etc.

I actually like the smaller size of fold 6 compare to magic v 3, I just hope that samsung will change the lithium battery to silicon carbon battery next year so that the phone can be as thin as magic v3.

[@bsk8275]

Buy samsung due to good after sale service. The price is not cheap, better buy the one with reliable after sale service. Samung provide monthly security patching on time, safe from any vulnerabilities. The reason the spec not as good as v3, is because they cannot build it better than bar phone flagship s24u, else who wants to buy s24u? Narrow screen is for easy to grab in hand. Just my 2 cents.
