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

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.

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

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.

*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

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!

Was just about to order a fold 6 as I have a 5, now I'm going on the waiting list for a Magic V3

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 👍🏻

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

Speakers are better on Samsung, temperature and screen dimming is also better

[doc.li]

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

[morm]

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!

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.

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.

[drfuzzy]

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

[japhethmajaw]

Say what you will but Z Fold 6 just look so premium.

[tiflos]

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

[syarizansulaiman]

Samsung got extra apps like making picture and more, but honor Magic V3 got translation with bahaha Malaysia is big attractions for me, will buy this January

[hamodhossain]

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

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!
