I'm from Canada and I just got my Honor Magic V2 RSR and it's a phenomenal phone. Best phone I've owned in a long time.

Wow. Honor is giving everyone a beating with this brilliant hardware and software

OnePlus Open/Oppo supports stylus on both screens. (Great video as always tho!!)

What a nice looking phone and great accessories! I hearken back to the day I imported my Huawei phone to Kansas USA. I absolutely enjoyed the Mate 20x and still have it, along with the stylus a smart flip cover and a bee top game controller. Now it seems like all the really kick ass China phones are just forbidden fruit. Another great video Ben, thanks for showing me something else I can't have 🌻✌️

Thank you Ben. Excellent as always.

As always man thanks for your work

Love Ur reviews ben ❤ this device is awesome honor did a great job from the lightweight design and bright displays to the respectable cameras and dependable battery life there's a lot to like about it. Can't wait for magic 6 pro review ben 👏

Nice review 👌 Bro as always ❤❤

Thank you Ben for the review.

Amazing review keep it up as always bro

Love your reviews ❤

I love that you went into detail about the case 👍

What a fantastic looking phone! 😍🥰😘🤩

Buy it yesterday at 1200€, purple variant...this is fenomenal smartphone 🤗🥰

Thank you, Ben.

Love it how Ben immediately legs it once he's signed off 😄 Probably got a plane to catch!

A great and genuine review👍👍👍 Hi am living in Thailand, Honor finally launched the Magic V2 in Thailand on 7 Feb'24 with the damn price of 59,9990thb😢 😢. After hearing the price I came back from shop 😅😅😅

That is why I like a foldable with a good front aspect-ratio. I do not need to open as much so increasing longevity, and if the folding display breaks, I still have a good experience from the outer one. That is why I hated the Galaxy Fold 4, a terrible design that put me off foldable’s. But since the Pixel Fold these better front displays show that they can be useful.

Good choice of song 🗣️🔥🔥

I got the original Honor Magic V2 back in October and overall enjoy it(using it as my back-up) and just bought the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro today to replace my Pixel Fold(Like it, but too HEAVY for me) as my primary daily driver. Definitely don't think I can go back to a normal slab phone. GREAT video as usual Ben.❤

@Ben when are you doing the Honor Magic 6 Pro review? That's what I'm waiting for because it's launching in the UK very soon.

One of the first phones with nice design. For a long time.

Best looking foldable phone

Honestly would have gotten the Magic V2 if Honor launched it at globally at the same time as in China. The Magic V2 was the first ever foldable that I actually would daily drive, it really is a shame.

I am blown away by the phone , I received mine recently the normal V2 with the leather back , I wish there was a proper phone protector out there for this impeccable phone .....

Hey Ben! Was wondering if you will be able to checkout and review some of the smart glasses coming out of China like the TCL rayneo X2, the Meizu Myvu Ar glasses and the Meizu Myvu discovery AR glasses

Hello Ben. Looking forward to seeing you testing the new Vivo X Fold 3 Pro ! Will you ? Thanks !!

İ waiting for huawei mate x5 ,globalversion👍🏼

Very good video. Waiting the Huawei x6 to buy a foldable. Hope for an European version of the x6 🙏🙏

7:14 I always suffer because of this missing feature I must always go to settings to clear the cash or the data of any app on my honor90 5G , I think honor must reconsider this feature on their phones

Honor Magic v2 Porsche edition and Huawei mate x5 , One plus open could be the best Foldable of the year . I am a samsung knight and I admit Samsung has work to do w the z fold 6

The case is really nice for additionak dust protection! Most of the folding phone cases are either slim like the porche one but no flap over the hinge, or otterbox thick. I hope this inspires more cases for the rest of the phones. Is there one for the Honor V2?

07:40 you can also tap and hold notification, and turn off notifications from that app this way

Again you can go into app info from multitasking view by long pressing the icon. Also does not take very long

Awesome phone, I wish I can afford it

Need Magic 6 Pro full review

Damn Honor Slaps ngl

At one point they said that they were focused on the hardware part and the software part is coming, but nothing happened

When will we get the full review 4 the honor magic 6 pro?

Hi Ben thanks for the amazing video. Owner of the phone here. I noticed that while we can indeed split KZfaq horizontally, a lot of apps still don't want to be split that way (including twitch). Any idea on why this arbitrary restriction? They developped the feature, it works great. And then they just lock some apps out of it for no reason

Nice phone Ben

How is the heat dissipation in this phone? Does it get very hot?

Where can it be purchased from for folks in the United States?

if i got rich enough to buy a foldable phone, then this is gonna be it. damn nice

OnePlus Open/Oppo Find N3: Hold my beer 🍺

Hey Ben, does the app info option appear when you long-press an app in the recent tasks menu? If so at least that would skip the need to access the settings app

How hard is it for phone manufacturers to provide the latest OS and Security updates for their buyers?

Big Question. What about Android Auto? Does it work with it? I have watched a lot of reviews but no one tells about it. I am not sure how many people look for that feature in the global version of Chinese phones. Just curious. Thanks

Oneplus open supports pen on both screens too

Would love to see you pit this against the Open head to head

Does the half screen stay up tight at a 45 or 60 degree angle (a.k.a laptop mode)? You only showed it staying up tight at 90 degrees.

Your opinion on the ultra-wide is flipped from how I use my phone camera. I mostly use the ultra-wide, not the main camera. I find the main camera is still too zoomed in to be really useful for most pictures I wanna take. Though that might just be my phone, the Mi9T. Maybe other phones have a wider field of view on the main camera lol

Where can it be purchased?

ill wait for the huawei mate x6 around oct/nov

How good this V2 compared to Find N3?

This looks so thin and I wonder how it will feel in the hands especially with the curved sides.

Xiaomi pad 6s pro video ??

Just for confirmation because you said that it supports Wireless Charging ; I have seen some reviewers saying the opposite.

The way Honor Launches their phones globally is so frustrating

The fold in the middle seems more visible than other foldables?

I don't understand the mention of an iPhone in a foldable video.

11:28 Bro, are you sure this device supports wireless charging? I am using Magic V2, and my device does not support wireless charging.

This smartphone is released 6 months too late internationally. People who are willing to put $1700-$2000 into a smartphone, are certainly people who value the specs, but also and above all the software, the software tracking, and a good warranty. And I think that the leaks of the future Galaxy Fold 6 and Pixel Fold 2 with their design changes, and especially their 7 years of update, will lead many to wait to see what these smartphones will look like, not to mention the OnePlus Open which has positioned itself as a major competitor.

I have a hard time opening the fold because there is nothing to dig in like Samsung and Oppo. Honor's cameras are not on par with Samsung or Oppo but form factor is crazily good. Sad story is my wife took mine and I am using s24 ultra now.😅

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

whats the name of the tennis game?

😂 might as well wait to see if they do a timely global release for the V3😂 6 months in phone world is an eternity lol

This or the Open?

this works on USA carriers too.. Do you know anyone that has stress tested this device with a dust, dirt, water torture test? I know the phone does not have any formal IP rating but there are rumors that Honor did make it resistant to water and dust. No one has formally tested this yet.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Honor V Purse is lightest and thinnest foldable smartphone in the world now.

🤚🏼

Brother this is the most optimized cheapest on a market !!!! Firmware is POLISHED to that gen processor.

This long press to the app is super annoying I don't understand honor.. The other annoying thing is the swipe down from the middle.. Is so difficult for them to do it... So many people complain about these 2

I disagree with you for one point. At this price I expect the ultra wide, the wide and a periscope that kills the standard V2 at least, to me the oppo find n3 red cliff is a better purchase, I also think honor update support is miserable and they lack on pushing android to its potential. With that said I give them the credit for the most beautiful hardware in foldable, but at 800usd for an honor phone I'm pleased not at 1600usd and plus, I find this price too much for the software lacking refinery!

1:17 Undeniably the Honour Magic v2 thinnest is very noticeable in watching your review while you hold it together with the Z fold 4. This is what Apple is probably targeting to build the world's thinnest phone and to perfect it before they release it to the public. 3:12 The rounded corners of the case is ideal for holding it with your palm. 4:35 The high nits brightness has add more value to this foldable phone. 5:12 I can see a noticeable difference between the thinnest of the two phones and Honour is clearly thinner than the fold 5. 5:59 The thickness is visibly the same as it can be seen in the review.

ayy kanye intro

How much does this phone cost 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

SD 8 gen 2 in 2024? What is honor smoking ?

Come on Samsung! They need to change the design language of the Galaxy Z Fold series for 2024 - this is proof that the technology is already here! I still love my S23 Ultra though haha

XIAOMI ULTRA 14 IS OUT GET ON IT BEN'S GADGET

Nitpicking on the Fold 5 lol

Sleek. Like my wallet when I get myself one of these 😂.

Looks like a great phone, but 2000 Euro, way too much!

I think 6 months late this phone is DOA

sorry, even though I completely agree with your points on the hardware being amazing, you are deceiving your viewers about the software. I have owned this device (the original V2, not the Porsche edition) for the last couple of weeks since the global launch and it's safe to say that the software experience is absolutely garbage. 1.Multitasking is very painful to do, the sidebar that you have to drag apps from to open them is very inconsistent during this process, where it will just close suddenly if you move too fast. 2. Even though there is support for most apps to do horizontal split screening, there were several apps on my device which would not support split screening at all. these same apps are supported on a Samsung device for horizontal split screening, so again they are lacking in software. 3. It does not have a taskbar. the side panel is a much worse experience than using a taskbar hands down. 4. My overall feeling of the device is that it's literally just a phone which you can choose to use in a normal aspect ratio or on a slightly bigger screen but still have the exact same experience as using a phone. There is absolutely no advantage to this phone in terms of software experience after you use it for a little bit because it's so frustrating to use for the above reasons. I have since gone back to my Samsung fold 4. yes, the hardware is a little bit more chunky and the cover screen has a weird aspect ratio, but this is seriously not as bad as people make it out to be. personally I feel like it's sensationalised by reviewers just like the crease when it's really a non-issue. the software experience of the Samsung foldables is far worth dealing with a slightly chunkier phone, you can do so much more with the Samsung foldables, it's honestly night and day for me now after using several foldable devices including Chinese imports and the OnePlus open. hardware is nothing without good software. this is something which is largely not seen even by reviewers like yourself, sadly.

1+ open is probably thinner and it has stylus support on inner and outer screen

£1699 here in the UK lol it will not sell at all what a stupid price and for a Honor who have not got a great reputation anymore since the chinese government issue and google issue they had a few years ago

Everything about honor is awesome but their software support just sucks. They are too damn slow providing new android OS updates. Like their last flagship magic 5 pro still on Android 13 that's a deal breaker for me.

I have a project to develop holographic phone call. Any of the major smart phone producers like Huawei, Apple Xiaomi and Samsung can contact me if they are interested to know more.

I juste bought the phone at 1100 euro with a stanmore 3 as a gift , so f*** Samsung and apple lol even its 6 month old.

Chinese global phones are always too late.

Magic OS 7.2 ?... WTF....

Every time i see a samsung foldable : 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

damn your video is shaky.... get a stabiliser

Liked before watching it.

ah man, spoiled by the udc. while not perfect, it's better than the punch hole. also spoiled by samsung's long term support of the device. 2 years from now knows if honor will update the software or security.

Thanks Ben for yet another awesome review. Always giving us his honest and realistic view of the product in real life situation. 🫡🫡🫡
