"... fairly standard 21:9 aspect ratio." When did this become standard? Do we remember crucifying Sony for the same? Oh well.

This looks sweet, although kinda on the heavier side, but probably justifiable. Id want stylus support though, although I dont live in a market where this is available anyways. The Honor V2 really just needed wireless charging and improved software to win this generation, but I can maybe give up the wireless charging, although it would be nice.
There's really just a couple things in my Fold 5 I will miss when/if I switch to V2 in september

I don't understand why it has ugly hole on screens when you can open the phone and use main camera for selfies or calls

That was before the Honor V2, Mix Fold 3 and Z5. They are going to lose market share in CN. I guarantee it, but I'm not going anywhere. If I'm wrong, you can rub it in my face in 2024 when the sales numbers are finalized.

It isn't waterproof. Is it dust proof? Is it bend proof? Maybe scratch proof? Fall on floor breakage proof? Because z fold 4 and 5 has proven submerged in water, frozen, thawed and still usable. Doesn't break easily. Maybe not dust proof but is effectively so. It is expensive but it feels premium. Yes I get the excitement for mix fold but it's only in China, means customer service is non existent for outside China, don't use near water, don't even let it fall. Samsung knows what it is doing, and both have different aim. Between these 2, I'd rather durability all round so galaxy fold for me.

As a con, you might want to add, alongside china exclusive :
- No warranty in US/EU
- No 4G (!) in US/EU
- No parts in US/EU
- No service in US/EU
Quite the bottleneck for a regular phone, so imagine what it's like for a foldable.
This alone is enough for Samsung to remain N°1 with a 3-years-old hardware.

Anonymous, 25 Aug 2023It's a China ONLY release plus MIUI is still garbage. ... moreI owned several xiaomi and Samsung phones and i find xiaomi miui is much smoother and the bug is almost non existent..my galaxy a34 couldn't even play 1080p youtube smoothly it lags frame drops while the older and less powerful poco m4 pro plays it smoothly even at 1440p settings. Another thing to mention using other non samsung brands wireless Bluetooth earbuds cause delays by annoying 1 second on samsung phones. I heard many said MIUI had alot of bugs but in reality they didn't know how smartphones works the bug they mentioned didn't happened to anyone else like "Viewing settings turned the phone looked transparent" while he/she applied unsuitable themes on the phone lol..

A bigger battery that actually beats the Z's duration and it's only 4800 mah. Thought I would never see it. Nice. Huawei needs to watch their back. Xiaomi and Honor is going to take some of that 50% market share in CN.
