Worse cameras and processor than Magic 6 Pro, and no face unlock either, at more than twice the price. Unless you really need the folding screen, the Magic 6 Pro seems to be a far better choice.
@Techtablets6 ай бұрын
The Magic 6 Pro (My review is coming) is a good option. Foldables never have the cameras or battery life a flagship standard phone does. That's the trade off and I hope one day we can have a foldable with cameras as good as the slab flagships.

Chinese phones don't do well in USA, for a good reason. Also, Honor it's well known to steal technology and copy designs... It's one of these brands that are basically for the Chinese market. Also, used to be part of Huawei (it's still is to a certain extent) and thus under the Chinese communist party thumb. Backing this it's backing up that dictatorship.

That's correct ,i liked it for maybe a few hours ,but after setting it up i started to play with it and discovered that the Oneplus Open was kinda step backwords from my Honor Magic 4 Pro . like the screen brightness was not all that high compared to my Magic 4 pro,Also scrolling on a feed was not smooth altough i had the screen on 120hz .Also bugs like blackscreen when trying to view Google feed when swiping right.Poor video quality watching instafeeds .for me the Oneplus Open was also feeling to bulky especially with the case on .just a few irritations that made me sell the Oneplus Open off within a week @@Techtablets

Damn that is a shame and since I haven't tested the Open I can't comment. But the Magic 5 Pro was my recommended alrounded phone to get last year. Cameras, battery life, screen, build and features all great. I have the Magic 6 Pro now for review and so far jsut as good. Oh and the Magic 4 Pro yes great phone.

Thank you for your lovely KZfaq videos. I really appreciate it. I have a question about the (Honor V2) phone. I’ve just bought a new one and I tried everything on it. I’ve realized that there is a delay when scrolling up and down on some of the apps in the phone ( KZfaq - Instagram - Twitter... ) the phone on 120 frame rates, and still it didn’t fix the problem & By the way i also have honor magic 5 pro with the same issues ! When you tried the phone, did you realize the same delay ( slow ) when scrolling on some apps of the phone? i also compared it with oneplus open ,scrolling is just WAY faster than the honor V2 ! Thanks a lot and appreciate it
@Techtablets6 ай бұрын
Me mean the actual scrolling rate right or a delay? I've noticed that I can't flick scroll as fast as say my S23 Ultra but this seems to be a choice by design that it's slower.

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 will be surprised if a foldable will last half the lifetime of those 7 years of updates! My Fold 4 was showing its age, and I only got a £400 trade-in on something that retailed for £1700 ( an 18-month-old foldable).
