Right 7 years plan voor Honor V2 and V3 doesn't exits after contact with honor.
The Honor magic V2 just get one update and that will be the last and it will be Android 16 but security update will be till july 2028 (3 OS support and 5 year security update bi monthly i guess)
The honor magic V3 will get the last OS update in spring 2027 and it will be android 17 and probarly 18 and security update till july 2029 ( 3 years OS support and 5 years security update's)
The worst part is the V2 that was launched in july 2023 in Asia but in Europe available februari 2024 that was almost 7 months later.
Honor for Europe only give you 4 years and 5 month security update. I really think Honor should bring update is magic V2 equil with the V3 in order of os updates and security update's.
So if you wanted also next year a android update don't buy the magic V2 because you probarly get only OS update in may or later but it will be also the last one.
Only new magic devices get 7 years security update and 5 years of os update's despit you still can buy the magic V2 and V3 from there webpages it give false information if you only believe the give all magic devices 7 years.

aziz, 29 Mar 2025How many years of major OS support does the V2 get? I cant ... moreAll magic device get 7 years support and at least 4 major updates and for the V2 europe(global) edition that is android 15, 16 and 17 but for security update's is till july 20230.
The reason was that the Honor V2 only was available after 6 month in Europe and for major os update's they counted from that point but for security wise it's from the first launch. but still 2030.

Considering how compact these things are getting, I'm surprised we're yet to see one with something closer to the 6.8" cover screen standard. In the folded state, it does feel slightly compromised. Other than that, Honor certainly is making beautiful tech. Early days for me, but I think I'm sold on the foldable idea.

If you post what I've said on tik tok you'll get bashed badly, people will say your poor and other BS like this. The point of a foldable is the huge screen right? If I have those huge black bars, then why I'm keeping it? After I got my refund, I bought a Huawei Papermate 12.2 2024. Much better choice from all the angles.

It's one of the reason I left the foldable phone bandwagon and now daily drives a dual screen phone with my LG V50. The fact that every apps can work on both screen without any app optimization issue already got my big vote.
Also, come to think about it, video playback is the reason 16:10 is the favoured aspect ratio for standalone Android tablets. Even though videos are shoot in 16:9, not all screen resolution are friendly with its aspect ratio. 16:10 lets you have any screen resolution you want knowing that it can fit perfectly.

This is the 2nd foldable that I'm returning after Z Fold 6. It's only a fashion device. The fact that I have huge black bars every time when I watched YouTube, Netflix or HBO is a huge deal breaker for me. If you zoom in, the quality drops and the imagine looks zoomed in and not ok. I guess I'll come back to a foldable if this format will ever get supported by YouTube. Otherwise, amazing phone, amazing piece of technology

The phone is amazing so far except for some minor issues like software lagging some times
The only major issue I'm facing is how heated this thing gets once you play a heavy game for a long time.

Almar, 02 Feb 2024This phone is late in many countries we reserved it just no... moreThis is probably the first foldable I would actually consider buying if I was currently looking for a new phone. I could care less about not having 8gen3. Gen 2 is still more than enough for absolutely any use case I'd ever need and then some. My current phone is with a SD888. I have never in the past 2 years thought to myself "I wish my phone was faster" even though this SoC is far from perfect.
The Magic V2 is the only foldable that actually nails the design, proportions and ergonomics of a foldable phone that don't make it look gimmicky. Beyond that it also comes with an actual innovation in battery technology, decent cameras, doesn't look and feel like two slab phones stacked on top of each other when folded and if I get it with contract renewal where I live, it costs about the same as an iPhone 15 pro max 512gb. A tad less actually. That is still very expensive but considering it is a foldable device you could almost call it affordable.
The only other foldable I'd get over this would be the Mate X5 since it's very similar to this one with the same silicon carbon battery and ergonomics but with added better cameras, water resistance and wireless charging. It is, however, not available globally and it is eyewateringly more expensive.
