I bought the honor v3 , and im soooo happy with it, its truly a fantastic device .

[maddada]

I had the Fold 4, pre-ordered the Fold 6 but the cancelled after trying it in the store and got the Magic V3 instead (imported from HK, have been enjoying it for a month so far).

Very happy I made this decision, the phone is honestly perfect. Especially love the wider screen, light weight, and thinness. Samsung used to be my favorite brand but these narrow outer screens they're putting on their foldables are so unusable for me.

Great video as always, I've no idea why you don't have way more subs 💭

Thanks for the most useful and objective comparison review between these two phones that I've come across on YouTube. Well done!

Samsung sucks. They've gotten lazy because of lack of compensation, especially here in the US. Their technology in phones have been lapped by Honor, Huawei and One Plus. Unfortunately Samsungs buyers are like Apple's. They dont care about these subtle changes. They dont care about being outdated. They think they have the coolest phone.

In conclusion, the Honor is more pleasant to use and offers options to protect your eyes, but both phones are disappointing in terms of photo and video quality. It's frustrating, and I'm still unsure whether I should switch to a foldable phone or wait a bit longer.

V3 beats Z Fold in every single aspect. Even the software on my Chinese V3 is really nice and smooth.

[waplegendgabriel]

Nice one I hoped you would have show more of the software

Ive tried samsung apple and xiaomi ill get the honor magic v3 in a few days but the fact is samsung got lazy in all aspects and now there so far behind the rest of the market. The honor beats samsung on dimensions, thickness, battery life and the magic software is so much better ince you get used to it. Hell the selfie cams are 20mp on honor and samsungs are still outdated. Some pics might be better on samsung but the honor pics are still dam good and nothing to laugh at. Ill be doing a review on the honor next week for my channel

The form factor (especially the phone thickness and the width of the external screen) is the same as that of a standard smartphone and (for me) currently, clearly the best on the Fold market, better than the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, but especially than the Galaxy Fold 6, Samsung better move its butt.

On the other hand, I find that the selfie 🕳 camera of the internal screen is very badly positioned, but above all the photo-video quality really should/could have been better.

Also, the biggest problem of Honor is the regular and punctual software monitoring, Honor smartphones, even ultra high-end very often receive the new versions of Android almost 1 year after everyone else, and that's very very bad when you put almost $2000 in a smartphone.

And it's true that like many, I prefer the format of the external screen of the Honor, but that doesn't automatically make it the better format, and contrary to what many think, there are also quite a few people who like the format of the Samsung.

This is a great review. Hope you will look at the software too

Honor is by far leading the foldable race putting Samsung to dust.

[j.m.]

Well, my Z Fold6 is still on Security Patch June 2024. Not good at all.

[joee]

Trust me, Samsung are more trusted and value product. In the end, it depends on what we want. Simple :)

[morm]

The truth is honor has better hardware by lightyears and Samsung has way better software bottom line

[limkientiong]

Is this device Android Enterprise compatible?

[alexdalton]

I hav got honor magic v3 best phone ever made

[asalalawsi]

Maybe the google pixel 9 fold will be the best choice of these two?

[MyAppreciate]

Samsung screen too small, too heavy.crease terrible and its too expensive, 😂

I hear a lot about the thiness of this foldable and the thiness of that foldable, but the camera bump on these "thin" phones is huge. It has to be taken into account. When the phone is placed in your pocket, the camera bump doesn't go away. Samsung could have made the Fold6 just as thin with just as large a bump, but they chose to keep it more proportional overall. When opened, it is perfect with no huge boil protruding out the back.
