Honor Magic V3 review

05 September 2024


Sort by:

Honor Magic V3 lives up to its name, not only furthering the thinness of the folding screen, but also making up for the regrets of its predecessor's lack of periscope telephoto and wireless charging, becoming the strongest all-around thin and light large folding with the strongest product power to date.The new folding screen flagship Honor Magic V3 once again broke the world's thinnest record, 9.2mm thickness compared to the predecessor Magic V2, although only 0.7mm reduction, but it is already the crown jewel in the field of industrial design.

      How on earth did Honor V3 get only a 4.3 star rating while the Samsung Flip6 gets a 4.5 rating? Even your conclusion section says Honor's is better.

        Honor V3 and Vivo X fold the two best foldable
        Ever.
        And you guys and GSM just rate it low based on battery life.

        Id like to see how long a Samsung fold would last being tossed around like in Video

                Oppo Mari Silicon X, 08 Sep 2024This is likely accurate while the YouTube tests are not.In general I agree, but I also did watch over 7h of footage sped up to show it. Here its literally just taking their word for it.

                https://youtu.be/V7ky5ma3ffQ?si=2o2rIe2fi6xSgL1N

                This is the video i refer to, but most others arnt reporting that grim of results either.

                Thta said with both reports of little below average and little above average, personally im not worried as truth is likely... average. Fast wireless charging offsets below average for me anyways

                  I have the V2 and have no issue with the battery life when using the screen unfolded. More is always better, I guess, but at what cost? I am never so far away from a USB C cable whether it's my laptop, car or charger and it charges fast.

                  I'd prefer to have a lightweight, thin, bright device than a bigger battery in a heavier, fatter body.

                        Hanif Fikri, 08 Sep 2024seems good but battery nahhh...Check some YouTube reviews. One guy had it massively outperform the Fold6 and whatever biggest newest iphone is. Gsmarena is one of the few to get battery ratings this bad

I don't have such a rich history with phones, but I desperately wish we could have thicker phones (I think 9.5-9.9mm is best) and use metal backs/composite fiber backs so that cases become unnecessary. I hate the glass back trend, same with the thin phone trend, because all of it is unnecessary and won't give any actual benefits while making the phone even less durable.

                            As for small phones, while I personally think a 71mm width is the best compromise between compactness and screen real estate, I would love to see a market that also caters to those who enjoy and prefer phones smaller than that. It feels so weird how modern phones look like they're about to enter a stage where the smallest phones are 71/72mm in width, and that most brands will not make their ultimate flagships that size, only their base tier flagships. It feels so disappointing.
