The V3 looks amazing! Only thing stopping me from buying......my wallet.....😅

Thank you for keeping us up to date with foldables very excited for the V3

Always enjoy your videos and glad to have found another UK tech youtuber to follow. Thanks for the updates

Subscribed,love how you cover the Chinese phones in the UK etc and not just samsung apple etc,great video and great work,and connecting the Samsung watch with vivo 👌🏼

Hi Average Dad, big fan, thank you for the continued Folding phones coverage. Im in the USA and I have a Samsung Fold 4 so definitely keeping an eye out for my next upgrade. So Android Auto is important to me, but also another thing that you sometimes mention but dont make a big talking point and that is “warrantee”. I’ve been averaging 1 new replacement/ year through Verizon insurance (they go through Asurion) and I’ve also had a good experience with SamsungCare. My Samsung inner screen starts delaminating and peeling off right in the center of the inner screen after about a year, and 1 time I got sand in the folding mechanism and had to get another replacement. So if I know you offer a 1 year warrantee through your store but that would still make me nervous because I keep my phones 2-3 years now and I know that I’ll need to warantee claim later if not sooner. So, are you able to make warantee another talking point? I think keeping that in mind my options dwindle down to getting a phone through a major US phone carrier: Google Pixel Fold 2, Samsung Fold 6, or wait til next year One Plus Open 2. Aka Chinese ROM and even the Global versions wouldn’t work for people looking to have an extended warranty right? What do you guys do about repairing screens and is that a scary cost for an owner looking to keep these phones 2-3 years?

Got the fold 4, will definitely consider the honor magic v3 and give thr chinese foldable a try. Thanks for giving us your view point 👍

Hi Average Dad, Love to watch your awesome videos and continuous coverage of foldable phones... Awaiting for your future videos and honest reviews. Keep it up and wishing you all the best.

Great to hear the Android Auto news, can't wait, thanks AD 👌

I really like one UI. But samsung doesn't bother to improve since fold 3 as it has major foldable market share and the hardware is so outdated compared to china's offerings, mainly because most of china's models doesn't launch globally. I'm using z fold 3 and I can't convince myself to get another z fold, especially with that narrow cover screen and underwhelming camera setup, and have I mentioned the crease? Therefore I've just gotten the vivo fold 3 pro without even waiting for the next z fold announcement

Great vid from a great man as usual 👌 Absolutely great info.. Thank you

You're very modest Mike. While I watch other tech channels on phone reviews, I always come back here. Why? Because your reviews are totally honest and independent. This video has so much info for starters, and I'm not entirely sure you know the extent that I, a viewer, find this stuff so interesting. So more power to the Average Dad 👍

Awesome video as usual. When you do the this vs that Chinese rom phone videos can you get into some of the software nuance differences, such as this phone shows badges for all apps, that phone does not, and this one can be configured to show notifications when you drag down from top center and that phone forces it to show control center instead, etc. Thanks!

Please make a video with the wireless adapter for android auto.

You're welcome. The service has been stellar and I hope to be doing more business with you in the future.

I'm really waiting for the Xiaomi mix fold 4 and the new Honor fold. I'll pick between those. 👍So I'm waiting for those videos and your thoughts

Your channel is truly awesome. I just went to your website and love your selection of phones. I'm in the US and will be ordering a few folding phones from you. Thank you for the education on the different OS on what will and will not work. I was a loyal Samsung Galaxy Fold user but honestly I feel Samsung has just become another Apple. I have moved on to Foldables that are fun again like the OnePlus Open and can't wait to order the Vivo Fold X 3 Pro and the Honor Magic Fold 3. Again thank you and keep the content coming.

Just subscribed. I came across your channel recently. Great content. Would you be able to do a video explaining more about the bands. In Canada, in order to check compatibility of a phone, the provider's require to enter the imei, but if you don't have the phone this is not possible. So it's ridiculous how the telecoms are treating this. My main question is how many bands can you have missing from the local towers so that the phone still works reliably.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 4, Honor Magic V3, Samsung Z Fold 6 all being announced and released in the next week. Need to see when the Magic V3 is going global and if the Mix Fold 4 is going global.

Will the magic v3 available to order at ya shop when they're releasing it?? 🤔🤔

Please let us know as soon as you have any news about the new Origin OS with AA. I'm waiting for that and for you to have parts (x Fold 3 16/512) in stock.

Please tell all the phone brands to add Desktop mode like Samsung DEX.

I enjoy your Videos so much and soon nobody can say anything against Chinese rom!

Great as always. But please do a video on android auto and chinese rom devices. You keep mentioning the adapter on amazon but I cannot get it to work unless you know the technique.

Who's the boss and jerry rig uses to be my go to KZfaq. But now it's you average dad 🔥 plus I'm using V2 chinse rom. Keep doing what you do 👊

Just received specs that mate x6 is going to be trifold

As a subscriber of yours I don't care about a giveaway, which doesn't mean I wouldn't love to be chosen, especially for a Chinese brand foldable, but only that's not why I comment. I do it for the algorithm and because your channel deserves the push. I'm especially grateful for your channel because you give the Chinese brands the respect that they deserve. And of course I'm super grateful for you particularly because you're the reason why I bought the OPPO Find X7 Ultra and I absolutely love that phone. If I had the money I would be buying the Vivo X fold 3 pro right now. But I don't so I will wait until next year and see what OPPO/OnePlus does with the N5/Open 2 and either get that or the X fold 5 pro. I'm assuming both Vivo and OPPO will skip the 4 since that's a bad number in Chinese. But regardless my next phone will be bought from your store.

Great video Mike, keep them coming

My dude... I'm likely buying a phone from you over the next couple days. Thanks for your hard work!

Hello average dad.I am planning to buy magic v2 in netherlands.Should i wait for a price drop at 12 july or it will happen later at december and I should order it now?Thanks for the honest reviews.

The V3 looks sick and i can already order it here in Canada from a Canadian company which shocked me (would still buy from mike though). Its $1000 cheaper for the 1tb than the 1tb fold 6 (which i already ordered) and in many ways vastly superior. Have to wait for mike to review it to see how the zoom is!

A another great video mate 👍

Where did you get the global from? It looks amazing if Google auto works I'm sold as that's the thing which stops me

I have a question, why Honor does not provide a high quality Case for a V3 phone that supports stylus pen. thin, light and beautiful, and if it was also inside the box with stylus pen in Ultimate Edition , it would be 🔥❤

Pls guide to connect vivo x100pro to the car via wireless adapter

I love the Honor Magic V2 "Global Ver" - I used it extensively in an overseas trip last month and it worked very well with Android Auto. Take photos in Hi-Res mode gave me some great pictures also. I also have a Vivo X100 Pro CN Version but noticed some of the 4G bands are not as compatible on Vodafone New Zealand (low 4G speeds 1-5 mb/s DL) - works well on Vodafone 5G (800+ Mb/s DL) and normal 4G speeds on the Spark Provider when tested. Once the Chinese manufacturers fix the compatibility issues they will certainly improve their market share :-)

So, Android Auto 6:58 will be only available for OriginOS (CN-ROM) in August (e.g.Vivo X Fold 3) - but not for Honor / Xiaomi, right? 🤔

Hi, I'm a member/subscriber in your buymecoffee page since 29 June, but I wasn't included in your WhatsApp group

Have you had a chance to try Android Auto with Dongle? Did it work?

I just got my vivo x fold 3 1tb from average dad and absolutely love it.

Not interested in a foldable phone but this is groundbreaking news. The game has been changed as it regards Chinese ROMs and Android Auto. It was the one thing that would hold me back from taking a punt on a Chinese phone. In the market for a phone in the next few months and I think I'd probably fancy one. Thanks for the great updates as always.

Will the Honor, Vivo or Xiaomi ever come to the US? I feel we are missing out big time.

I'm anxious to buy a Chinese phone, I have a Vivo X Fold 2 and texting never worked correctly...I wouldn't receive some texts, others wouldn't receive mine etc. I'm using T-Mobile in the US.

Thank you! Mi Mix Fold 4 vs Honor Magic V3! If the last leak is true, will the Mi Mix Fold 4 be the thinnest foldable this month? 😍

legend. good on you ad Santa. if vivo can work with Android auto, hope they can incorporate a wear os workaround for my Xiaomi watch 2 pro. going to check out your Samsung wear video. maybe that will work for me. 🙏😎

Android Auto on the Vivo phones would be fantastic. Fingers crossed on that one. Now i have the Full Android box in the car though, I'm not sure i could go back to just Android Auto. There is something quite intriguing about watching Average Dad in the car, obviously when i am parked up 😂

Samsung is clueless. If they made a mix fold 3 size foldable with their software, they would lock down the foldable market.

Hopefully will get a good trade in deal for my Honor Magic V2 in the UK!

You're nice to give a phone away, I try to encourage people I know who love tech to watch your videos. Keep it up man I think you'll get them subscribers no matter what. Even without the giveaway, these videos are very good content

Peace be upon you, special episode. In fact, I would like to buy an Oppo Find N3 phone. Do you recommend waiting for the new phone from? Xiaomi or Honor and see what Oppo has and its features

I have a question. I don't really care about cameras so should I buy the honor magic v2 or wait and buy honor magic v3

You are such a generous man Dad (even with lazy viewers)👍

The Magic V Flip is actually pretty darn thick given that the Magic V2 is the slimmest.

do you think this may open up other Chinese ROM's (Honor) to also add Android Auto ?

The fact Vivo is about to add Android Auto support in their OriginOS phones was undoubtedly a mega W to those who bought their China exclusives outside of China

What is your daily driver?

Big fan. Any help here. My V2 worked flawlessly but keyboard keys has to be entered twice now. Where ťo fix?

So excited forthe mix fold 4

Will you accept any offers for the honor stylus pen

Another great video from a realist tech geeza

The emails look sketcy, is there only one Website out there? Or some other scams too? Im really scared to order 😬

Do we know if the V3 will come with a stylus or have stylus support like the V2 RSR version did?

That would be fantastic, Android Auto on Vivo x100 Ultra! Thanks for sharing this.

Can't wait for Andoird Auto on a Chinese ROM!!!

Wait so V3 supports google apps or no?? Or i have to buy it to confirm it 😂

Hi, So I have honor v2 was great until upgrade magic 8. Then need 3 times a day charge it. I use it a lot even fir work but same way use before 8h+ on display now max 3h on display. So v3 looks great yes like that design specifically camera on middle not on corner But there sw is little killing me. Vivo fold 2 pro was much better for me but can't use wallet for many UK bank main street because Chinese version there missing some part of validation that didn't work. My question is this problem is probably on fold 3 pro is well? And it's on global and Chinese or it's work on one of them? I not use android auto 😂 so won't be bother ask for that 😅

Don't care about few hundred bux extra for vivo fold 3 global, it works flawlessly, android auto works perfect, no messing around with notifications and etc.... Battery is the beast even though I have noticed if you don't kill camera from background it will drain battery quite a bit. Camera quality is okey, I think S23 ultra was better, I get some blurry pics if light is not good or if object is not perfectly still but not terrible.

Average Dad is anything but average. He's extraordinary.

Merhaba Average Dad Harika Yayının İçin Seni Tebrik Ediyorum.İyi Çalışmalar Dostum...

Been using Vivo x100 ultra for a week. Just about got it set up to my liking. Nova launcher works - ✅ Nova Google companion works, kind of. It's there but you can't click on the links. (Google feed, swipe from the left) Google assistant/Gemini doesn't work - ⛔ Google timeline in maps doesn't work - ⛔ gutted about this as I often look at my timeline for work. Everything else works faultlessly though. Camera is a beast. 👍

I'm on the Fold 4 and really thinking about a Chinese phone now that we know that the Fold 6 is going to have trash hardware. Why do you keep releasing the same phone every year Samsung whyyy

I ended up returning my Honor Magic v2 because the software was buggy... I then got the one plus open and returned that (honor magic much better) and just went with the galaxy s24 and love it. If I get a fold, it will be a samsung... size isn't everything 👀

Lastest news (if true) is that the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 comes Globally and is thinner then the Honor Magic V3.

Honor Magic V3 Fold 16GB 1TB CN Version for Xmas 🎉

Me pls, Christmas prezzy so I can throw my Samsung fold out the window 😂

Is there any way to make holding down the power button on the Vivo x Fold 3 activate the Google assistant on Origin OS?

Thank you for this information. If Vivo implement android auto on origin os i will order X100 ultra in the same day.

Literally just subscribed 😂

is it worth it now to get honor magic v2

😱😱😱 random video from when ?

My comment for Christmas!

V3 looks good but the photos should be not that oversaturated

What foldables are expected to be launched this month?

Very cool.

Can you split your foldable screen in 3windows like the Samsung Galaxy fold with Chinese phone?. If yes can you show it on your phone. Because I can't with any Chinese rom foldable phone.

Looking forward to Honor Magic V3 might have to be my first Chinese import as the Fold 6 doesn't look that interesting and the Pixel Fold 2 is looking a bit meh. That being said I have just bought my Pixel Fold back from the guy I sold it too,😅

How do people go about insuring their Chinese import phones and getting them repaired? I havent bought one yet but this is one thing stopping me. Any help

excited for the v3! Does anyone have more info on the wireless android auto adapter that works with Chinese roms that was mentioned? Is something like the Motorola MA1 enough or are we talking one of those boxes that runs android itself?

Thats why I love vivo🥰. I also asked them about AI To change it to English. They said. No way 😒

Sir what's your opinion about xiaomi 14 ultra global version Europe is it worth to get over s24ultra which i don't like it's camera this year... I didn't use xiaomi before i don't know anything about it's battery life and signal quality and more?!

Next week we will see the samsungs

If it has Android Auto is it even a chinese Rom anymore 😊

I agree Z fold 6 is a Disappointment..

need to wait a bit longer before i update my P30 pro, live on old girl

Giveaway phone at Xmas 🎉 Hope it has Headphone Jack 😊

A while back I heard that Google Pay did not work on Chinese ROM, is that still true? Or is it vendor specific?

If the honor has wireless charging.. May consider it.. But think will stick to xiaomi mix fold 4..if its is thinner an lighter than mix fold 3

Good video AD

Great video !!

Samsung is crazy as a leader in the folding market they gave up their lead by not innovating enough for multiple years now. Why do you thing they do it do they think they have no competition and can get away with it and only deliver a killer phone if the competition is starting to compete in america and europe? I think they hstill have great distribution channels and could wait a year or two for the competition two catch up but with the Honor V3 the competion seemed to catch up and over take them if they can bring it into the stores and the front window. Currently Samsung seems to spend its money on such things lile premium position in stores and cheap on the features. I hope they fail with that strategy.

Is their anyway I can do payments on your website for a phone ?
