HONOR Magic V3 Vs Galaxy Z Fold 6 Comparison - Which is REALLY The Best?

[@Mikestonebone]

Minor recommendation, change the wallpaper of the phones to the same. It will help your viewers with telling the difference between the crease and brightness.

[@ShihanQu]

I don't mind the format of the Samsung folds, but Magic V3 shows that a Samsung fold that's this thick should have an internally housed stylus, a 6000mah battery, and a way better camera

[@coely7]

The reason why Chinese foldable phones are thin is because their camera modules are very large. They can make them thin by installing vibrator motors or large parts on the camera module. However, the Galaxy Fold 6 is thick because its camera module is small. Chinese foldable phones have lower technology than Samsung. Chinese foldable phones mistakenly think that a large camera module means good camera performance. ..Chinese .boe displays are too weak to withstand the winter and tear..... Don't be fooled by Chinese tricks while spending a lot of money. The boe display cracks and breaks after folding it a few times.

[@connorburke5761]

@@coely7 That logic is very poor and you're thinking of it entirely backwards. The chinese phones are engineered to be very thin, but as a result of adding near-flagship level sensors into the phone the camera bump is thicker. Samsung doesn't feel the pressure to innovate because they're still market-segment leaders in most of the world, so they continue to churn out much thicker foldables, which in turn will have reduced camera bumps. The chinese phones are not thin *BECAUSE* the camera bumps are large. That makes no sense and is a complete reversal of root cause analysis - which you should study.

People should stop acting as if Samsung foldables are the standard. Tf we care if they pioneered these things. They chose to stagnate.

[@EthanCarey-l4c]

I mean, in some ways (software, build quality, cooling, support) they still are the standard. Z fold 6 fixed the outer screen (only 2-3mm less wide than the one plus). It's really nothing to complain about any more. Same screen width as an iPhone mini and only a mm or two less wide than a widely purchased phone like the pixel 7a. It also, has better speakers if that matters. The reflective screen protector does suck for visibility. However, the screen coating this year is improved. It feels more like real glass than any foldable ive tried. Doesn't have finger drag like the one plus matte screen protector (and most Chinese foldables) and doesn't get greasy like the older z folds. Different strokes for different folks. I'd imagine if the special edition z fold 6 does well in Korea and China, more aggressive changes will hit for thr z fold 7

[@jd2161]

[@joeykeilholz925]

​​​​​​​​@@EthanCarey-l4cit's way thicker and heavier. How is that better for samsung lmao. Honor has a desktop mode... Samsung does not. Honor comes with a charger and case, Samsung does not. Crease seems more obvious on the samsung. And the screen size difference looks pretty obvious to me and is appreciated. Oh wait, there's more! The samsung rocks back and forth on the table way more. The stylus works on the front screen for honor and not samsung. Samsung has more bloatware. Much better charging on the Honor. No one can look at 18:07 and say they want the samsung. The screen has so much more glare and the crease is obvious. It's a joke. Samsung has rested on its laurels for so long. Pick what you want but don't pretend samsung is better in "every" way.

You find you use the front screen lot more than the Samsung with it bieng like a normal phone.

Not blown up by much due to the inside screen shape otherwise cropping would be required and certainly not a patch on the S24 Ultra screen. The other issue is folding screen anxiety, will it bubble or peel next time I open it. The Magic V3 claims a minimum folding screen life of 500,000 open/close operations while the Fold 6 is 200,000 which reflects that Honor have more confidence in their folding screen.

i cant speak about honor much since i havent ever had one . but since i gave my s23 ultra for the fold z 6 im happier than ever . since i do consume a lot of time on social and videos . Cameras are a bit clunky compared to s23 ultra but still samsung quality (nothing much to complain ) overall i would pick samsung again and again since their whole ecosystem never failed me at the slitest , plus it gives me the premium quality of apple products without being locked behind ios and their horrendous price tags , and im not talking about lanch alone , i bought z fold 6 a week after release and i managed to buy it at $1400 for 512gb . Also oneui has been a blast i never noticed any bug that i can spot , and they always keep it clean and top notch . Moving to fold z 6 got an amazing quality device with amazing software on my hands . 100% samsung . the only downside is the front screen size comparing this 2 but still when unfolded for a mini tablet i dont mind a bit of less screen . outter screen hurts a little , and when u apply cases on folding those lines arround the screen do eat a small portion aswell which your fingers cannot reach .

If you prioritize software stability, Google services, and frequent updates, the Honor Magic V3 (Global ROM) is the better choice. If you are looking for a cheaper option and don't mind using a Chinese ROM with potential limitations, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro offers great hardware at a lower price. However, you may need to put in extra effort for a seamless experience with Google apps and services.

hey chris, just a suggestion can you try having the phones held higher with a stand/with your hand WITHOUT blocking the speakers? That's because speakers send out sound not in just a straight line but in a radius, and by having the phones flat on a table, the sound gets blocked a little and changes a little. For example, I can't stand to listen to my phone if it's flat on my bed/table. I have to prop it up sideways on a bottle/pillow, that way the sound comes out naturally. I still get the basic idea of the sounds though, the samsung one does seem to sound better but i feel like putting them down on the table changes the sound in a bad way and can kinda hurt comparisons. Most of the times we have the phones on our hand and so the sound has free area to travel to, so yeah just a suggestion.

Maybe that, but I think it's largely just due to software optimization. Samsung gets a alot of flak for the hardware falling behind, but man can they code software. Software is hands down one of the biggest pros for Samsung, while for Honor its easily the biggest weakness. That said, Honor is getting better every generation both in HW and SW, while Samsung is kinda just... already having a really good software and relies on the brand name. That said, having used a Fold5 for over half a year, most of the fancy features were kinda gimmicky for me.

I got the fold 6 because of UI and support and strangely enough, i prefer the narrower screen (don't have big hands, its not an issue at all). I came from the S22 ultra and i'd been a relief to not have a giant slab phone in my pocket (ride a motorcycle and it feels yuck when its jabbing my thigh). If things like thinness and crease visbility aren't an issue - then the marketing perks of the V3 kinda just dwindle. There's so much that comes down to individual user preference too, so either phone is astonishing in it's own right. But unless you're pitting them against one and other in the same room nobody that gets a fold is going to feel it's too thick or that the screen is too reflective imo.

Please do a comparison between the Honor and the new Samsung Galaxy Fold Special Edition.

[@Techtablets]

Samsung send it to me sure. But no plans to buy it

[@4444pro]

I use zfold 5 only because they provide samsung care when things go.wrong. but i would want the honor more because the screen width when the phone is folded

[@ImHenrik]

I understand why people prefer the Honor - most of the specs are just better on paper. However, personally, I like the slimmer Fold 6 more. It fits better in my smaller hands (coming from iphone pro max and the size bothers me) so it feels like a new, modern form factor to me. Plus, Samsung's software makes the phone more enjoyable for me, and I really appreciate the build quality of the Fold 6. I'm not sure what the V3 will be like, but the V2 felt like a cheap Chinese phone imo.

[@deltaechomusicnh555]

I have both. The Honor is actually easier to use one handed due to how thin it is and because of how curved it is. Even though the Fols 6 is narrower, it's harder to use one handed because of how thick it is and the square sharp sides.

[@phehibs]

I've said on loads of videos the V3 looks cheap and would snap in 2 easy by the looks of it!

[@deltaechomusicnh555]

@phehibs Look at Honors marketing videos. They put the V3 is a washing machine, weights on both sides of the phone, chucked it across concrete and it still survived.

[@PanopticonMR]

Whats better? Vivo X Fold 3 Pro or Honor Magic V3? I am interesting on global version and next month. Thanks.

[@schip.fil.03]

buy the vivo for camera and fingerprint, everything else is better on the honor

[@PanopticonMR]

@@schip.fil.03 I checked phone arena X Fold 3 had brighter screen, bigger battery and better cameras.

[@ameerr.7614]

Software and performance and screen size is on Vivo's side as well

[@MarcYeoTechReview]

OMG the Zfold 6 looks so bulky when folded and unfolded, as compared to the Honor Magic V3 😅 I'm using the V3 for 1 week already... Im lovin it!

[@Techtablets]

Thanks for sharing

[@MichaelRichards983]

​@@TechtabletsIt's being reported that the Honor prioritizes the phone being cool over performance but if you put the device in high performance it will be much better.

[@coely7]

The reason why Chinese foldable phones are thin is because their camera modules are very large. They can make them thin by installing vibrator motors or large parts on the camera module. However, the Galaxy Fold 6 is thick because its camera module is small. Chinese foldable phones have lower technology than Samsung. Chinese foldable phones mistakenly think that a large camera module means good camera performance. ..Chinese .boe displays are too weak to withstand the winter and tear..... Don't be fooled by Chinese tricks while spending a lot of money. The boe display cracks and breaks after folding it a few times.

[@777DB]

thinner phons also are more destructiv to the fold in the inner display the folding radius is smaller

[@waseemal3951]

I will be keeping the honor to the left and the Samsung to the right. Immediately follows with switching them up

[@Techtablets]

Only when I showed the outdoor screen shots which I filmed well before this comparison and it not hard to tell which is which phone. Of course you have to complain about something…

If any one experienced that Honour UK supplied 66W super charger came separately with Magic V3 doesn't charge V3 faster. It takes about 2.5h to charge the phone from 0 to 100%. Global V3 in the presentation which has a charger in the box and that charges the phone much faster. Not sure what is the difference between the two chargers?

[@Techtablets]

That is very odd so the UK included charger is not charging at 66W? My EU 66W charger works fine. I get the claimed rates.

[@SK-sm5ge]

@@Techtablets Your 66W EU charger is included in the box but charger is not included in the Honor UK Magic V3 box and they supplied 66W charger separately. I am wondering if any one will test the both EU and UK 66W chargers to find a difference. But my UK 66W charger is no way charging 100% in 49min. I hope other buyers from Honour UK come forward to give their opinions on the charger.

[@ashtonkee5868]

That's because the Honor has much much much higher PWM rate that's very good for your eyes, That's why the battery usage is higher. I much rather have that eye protection feature.

[@zodiacfml]

Samsung's stagnation with their latest foldable made obvious. Prices for foldables still absurd though, I could buy a flagship phone and $400 tablet at these prices.

[@Bitplex]

And then you'd have spent the same amount of money but have two devices to carry around. I agree that the prices are way too steep, but if you were comparing a slab phone and a tablet bundled together with just a foldable, you two get the two-for-one with the foldable.

[@jujukerker]

Hi. Just want to check with you on this. I noticed that the screen protector that comes with the phone is a dust magnet. No matter how I clean the screen protector, in no time, screen accumulated on it. And the environment around me is not dusty. Do u or any of u have such an issue? I await ur reply and tks!

[@Techtablets]

I haven't really noticed that, maybe more static from your pocket attracting the dust?

[@edipbaloglu7514]

I just bought the magic v3, after using fold 6 for a month. The screen in the honor beats Samsung. I couldn't stand the crease anymore. fold 6 definitely for sale. Honor's inner screen is anti reflective as well. big plus

[@ThePeterR66]

thank you, from France

[@Techtablets]

[@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 and that means something.

[@eazy8592]

The crease on your fold 6 stands out very much.

[@Alessandro-K333]

🙋🏻 I come from a HONOR foldable with a larger display cover and... Ok for more comfortable use with the device closed. However, I found the internal display consequently TOO large and less comfortable for writing on the QWERTY, since in fact the thumbs 👍🏻 cannot reach the center!!! Better Samsung Fold6, more intelligent in this respect (source: personal experience)

[@mahershtat6029]

Hello Chris i had both phones and honestly speaking in terms of hardware honor V3 blows up the fold 6 but user interface wise surely samsung is the winner

[@michaellalichauco1912]

How about for photos and videos? I cant decide :(

[@mikeblan7329]

The honor magic v3 has a better form factor than the z fold but however the built quality software and functionality of the z fold clearly out match the honor magic v3

[@playbunny99]

Is Honor v3 also can use pressure senstivity Pen drawing like as Fold 6 ?

[@gufty_tech3607]

[@martinjerabek8119]

Honor is KING.

[@Diablo22967]

I'll say it like this when Honor was still a sub brand of Huawei, Huawei cooked Samsung by introducing an outward folding phone (mate xs/Honor V Purse) with no gaps. and having the thinness of a normal phone back in 2018/19... Wonder why they were banned...

[@agustinduenas5902]

One big difference is that the front screen of the Honor is actually usable. The Samsung is too narrow. I do believe the Honor is the better foldable in almost every aspect. The only question is how well does the Honor work with major US cell phone providers such as AT&T and Verizon? If the phone is not compatible, then the Honor is not a real option for US users.

in the zoom test the honor was better idk why you said samsung is better

[@travisjumy1212]

Your battery test score is not correct. In fact, Magic V3 has much better battery life. Dont know why it has so low score in the result. I have both and the Samsung one always run out of battery about at least 40 minutes before the V3

[@filipposg1]

I'm a Sammy boy and I have to say that in terms of foldables I'm quite disappointed on them. Next time my contract renews and offer me a phone option I'll definitely hit the Honor foldable. It is just better.

[@orien2v2]

Battery life is still a toss up as another reviewer had the Honor lasting much longer than the Fold. I guess it's nitpicking at this point though. You have 2 screens, if you're not a heavy user with cable and powerbank at arm's reach most of your waking time then why are you even buying a foldable?

[@MrAzooooooooo]

The phone is amazing one big downside is the speaker which is very bad.

[@adhsmith1601]

I have a V2 coming from a Fold 4 and the lack of Polish on the Honor software has almost sent me back to Samsung, One UI is so much better particularly in Dex mode where more apps work, even the supplied browser doesn't work in Magic OS and the keyboard doesn't function right in thst mode, its infuriating, I've had to download alternate apps to get a good desktop experience, the only reason I still have the V2 is because the hardware is so much better (from a physical perspective) but should Samsung match the hardware size and weight, the Honor is getting dropped so fast if Magic OS doesn't improve, other annoyances are the constant power intensive app warnings you can't disable and better multi window support on the inner screen with Samsung. Other things that make the Honor feel like something from the 90s, it doesn't transition nicely across my mesh wifi APs, often hanging onto the weakest signal, I got in touch with support, the response, wifi is hard :D Samsung and Apple work fine in my house, also the Honor share stuff causes BT car kit issues, so if you experience a BT kit connecting/disconnecting rapidly then disable that and you should find it is fine. If there weren't these problems with the Honor I'd have bought the V3 straight off as I miss things like wireless charging, gaming is nice on the thin and light Honor. Honor also need to sort out the camera software.

[@heinzbecker691]

yeah the thickness and the bigger battery is awesome. but i have to say that i realy like the small formfactor of the z fold 6. you get a real nice small smartphone like in the older days...but if you need the real estate...unfold it! The Honor is just a regular big phone...which opens up to a square. Yeah the zF6 is not much better but it is. i think samsung should do 2 fold divices...a normal one and a bigger one for those people who realy wand giant phones. for me the biggest points that samsung has to update are. Thickness, battery size with 45w charging, high end camera! and the s pen build within plus usable for the inner aaand outer screen! Formfactor z fold 6...maybe 1-2mm wider...but only if it gets thinner. but nver more than this, i realy like a small phone for one hand use.
