Review & comparison between the Honor Magic V3 and Samsung Galaxy Fold 6.

The real tragedy that nobody talks about is that we the normal people on the streets have been deprived of better products (that naturally born out of competition) due to our governments banning the Chinese products in the name of ambiguous never-properly-explained national security threats.

FYI, the Magic V3 will get 4 years of android updates and 5 years of security patches.
I've been using it for a month now (imported from Hongkong) and have been loving it. Really happy I canceled my Fold 6 pre-order because I can't stand those thick and narrow TV remote dimensions.

Honor's hardware with Samsung's software is my dream phone

[omarcortes]

Samsung has been selling the same phone 3 years in a row and it's crazy expensive. This Honor is great, so thin and with a big battery, very impressive.

Samsung was a protected species by the US, when Chinese phone makers were sanctioned and blocked from markets. So the Chinese phone makers had to really innovate and make good products or they won't survive. So Samsung just became lazy with its inherited secure position in Western markets. Such is the lack of innovation by Samsung they are rolling out practically the same phone year to year and charging the same and sometimes even ore than prior years. How sick.

Honor phone are quite popular in the other side of the world and it's gunning down the throat of samsung as they keep sleeping on their technical hardware part. Even the software are catching up fast. Honor also committed to provide 5yrs of security updates and few major android updates too.

I don't know, maybe my eyes suck, but I prefer the look of the cameras quality from the Honor Magic V3.

[WicksMatter]

Fired all their engineers and hired everyone from temu 🤣🤣 oh man I can't stop laughing
😂😂

There is NO reason to get the Fold 6.. Samsung needs to do better!

[klash]

I won't pay a penny to Samsung for a phone that doesn't have any hardware updates, we are still fighting the greed of Samsung and Apple

[valeriovindigni]

Brands feel comfortable and slow down innovations when they feel there is no competition chasing them.
The fact that Samsung can still rely on its ecosystem, updates, OS ... which is (way) better than the other foldables, makes them not rush in releasing a better screen closed ratio, better hinge, and so on.
We tend to 'accuse' Samsung of not being innovative where other brands (e.g. Apple) don't even try to penetrate this market.
When and if this will be ever the case, we will see how magically all Samsung engineers will wake up.

I own an Honor V2 and will be upgrading to a V3 soon. Been with Honor since Vs and never looked back

[RussRyan]

The v3 has one feature I love. Pen support for the outside screen as well. Samsung has no excuses when Honor can put all this into such a thin device. I have ordered my v3 in the UK direct from Honor and they have £300 off, included the Pen / 66w charger and insurance on the screens for 6 months. So Cheaper than Samsung too.

I have the zfold since launch. I also just bought the V3 last week.

Putting em side by side, i cant help but feel that V3 is much more posh and easy on the eye.

The fold just feels bulky and "few gen" behind. If u love bricks and industrial design, then its all cool. Or if u have super huge hands and loves bulky stuffs.

But in all honesty, Honor did blow many of the competition out of the water. For busy daily uses, it does pays to have faster charging etc. Every little thing counts.

*From someone who owns both and have practical day to day experience for both*

I have the galaxy fold 5 and whoever wants to get samsung please buy the warranty for the screen cos their dead pixel problem is very real. The deal pixels suddenly appear and spread across your screen. The cost to fix the dead pixels at Samsung is the cost to buy a brand new low end phone.

[UrbanBigBackBrisket]

For the crease problem, I think that a crease is a crease until it's gone. So no matter how prominent or not prominent it is on a device, it doesn't change the fact that there's a crease.

[MarcYeoTechReview]

You are right. V3 is a much better choice. I have it for almost a month now

[phantomlumina]

Last year we got the Oneplus Open, this year we have the Honor Magic V3, I just don’t understand why anyone would get the Fold 6 unless you live in the Samsung ecosystem, which I rarely hear anyone say that.

Thanks for providing a pretty balanced view of both amazing devices!
