I'm writing this comment from my new Chinese ROM V3 that I got from Mike's store a few days ago.
This phone is absolutely amazing. Cameras are very impressive. The overall design/hardware is light years ahead of both the Z Fold and the Pixel Fold.
I've had absolutely no issues with the software so far and migrating from Samsung's One Ui to Magic OS has been a breeze.
I highly recommend both the V3 and the Average Dad Tech Store!
@@mr.v.2620 wrong
Any issues with Chinese rom at all?
@mikecampbell1511
Only thing I found was I can't get voice search to work in Google maps because you can't change the assistant from YOYO
Also some apps wouldn't send notifications but I fixed them for each app like this...
Settings - Apps-Apps (click on the app you want)-notifications-ON-power usage details-Launch settings... Then turn off Auto and turn on all three manual settings.
The V3 is great phone
@@mikecampbell1511 Android auto, wear os needs workaround currently no solution for oppo watch x or OnePlus watch 2, magic portal only Chinese apps, no location timeline, wallpaper needs to use their proprietary app to set
Good to hear. Does Google wallet and android auto work?
The charging on the pixel is even shittier than samsungs not much better offering which is totally embarrassing. Having the OnePlus open at 67w charging I couldn't go back to the dark ages 😂
Honestly I can't go non Chinese again until this is addressed on what we get here stateside.
@@Zer0.-_ same here bud apple Samsung Google they're all cheating their customers but worst part is these customers keep coming back fir more
Once you get fast charging it's hard to not have it
@@techr1320 exactly
I have a Galaxy Fold 6 and a Honor Magic V3. I have been rotating between the two phones and for some reason the Fold 6 battery lasts longer than the V3. With the exact same usage daily. I'm confused as to why as the Fold 6 has a smaller battery. With my usage at the end of the day, my Fold 6 has around 40% battery left and my V3.with the same usage is always in the low 20% near the end of the day. Very bizarre. I think the Fold 6 software is much more optimised.
Strange because the v2 is far better than the samsung folds.
Really great comparasion thank you Michael!
One HUGE point that you forgot to mention is that for some insane reason Google moved the wireless charging coil lower on the phone so it will not work with vertical wireless stands or it works very poorly without a booster to make the phone taller. Thus if you car has pre-built in factory wireless chargers like a Tesla it won't work correctly. This on top of the slow as hell charging speeds.
If any one experienced that Honour UK supplied 66W super charger came separately with Magic V3 doesn't charge V3 faster. It takes about 2.5h to charge the phone from 0 to 100%. I am not sure if that charger is similar to AverageDad selling Global V3 which has a charger in the box and I guess that charges the phone much faster. I am not so sure.
Great vid as always. Just unboxed my magic V3 today, loving it so far. I ordered at 2pm dead on from the UK store so received the pen, power brick and B&O headphones with it. So far has been great, loving how thin it is, but being realistic I've slapped the case on it - the case feels super premium with the vegan leather feel on the back. Even with the case on it's still quite thin, i held it side by side an S24 with a case and it was still a tiny bit thinner (except for the camera bump) Camera is nice, for a moment I thought the colours were a bit dull, but then i realised how oversaturated other phones were (looking at you samsung) so enjoying the realistic hues. Overall very happy this evening lol
Super happy for you! I had to faff about a bit to register for paypal credit so my order was accepted 5 mins after yours... but no sign of a shipping date yet :( Honor UK really need to sort their s*** out
Can you test if CPU is still throttling in performance mode? You can turn this mode in the settings.
@@k88kee Yeah I got super lucky with mine. Next day dispatch and delivery the day after that - I checked the website about 20 mins after ordering mine and saw that expected delivery was now 11th-18th :/
@@Protos122 Just ran two geekbench 6 CPU tests for ya, one folded and one unfolded, performance mode on both.
Folded:
Single core - 2144
Multi core - 6433
Unfolded:
Single core: 2110
Multi core: 6340
This falls pretty well in line with the S24 ultra, which has single core score of 2172, and multi core score of 6782. I'm assuming this means that it's not throttling both open and closed with performance mode on - hope that helps
@@jamesguild4718 Thank you so much. I want to buy v3 this year. It will be my first foldable
I love the way you're doing this review with 3 parts. Cannot wait for the camera part!!
Software on the honor is just sub-standard. Its awful compared to one ui or pixel. I'm steering clear from now on. The user experience is way more important than how fast it charges.
For this very reason I stick with IOS. I couldn't give a rats ass how long it charges, as long as it lasts till I plug it in while driving to work or go to sleep.
Software stability/privacy $ security -> Hardware
For me, it's going to be a pixel as I need a foldable phone for work. The Chinese ones are not even allowed in the company I work for anyway. Massive security risk
Where is Part 3?
Thnks for a unbiased view on the two phones. I purchased the Magic 3 today, a bit nervous as I have always had Samsung or Apple. It just seems so ahead in size and power, and always have the 14 days cooling-off period, but it looks great.
V3 wins overall, on Pixel, the bezels is just too big on the outer dispaly, also too heavy and also bad for multitasking
Agree, the bezels on the outside screen on the pixel is a major turn off for me.. Tried it in store. If I owned it I think that would annoy me a lot..
These are all opinions. None of these make it a bad device
It's good, just not as refined in some areas. I have the V2 and the software is great, no problems at all.@@srt4baby24
Two things that prevent me from buying the Honor. Software updates and reports or bad customer service.
@@funkam0nkey software updates are fine. A15 barely has anything as a feature anyways. Not missing much there.
Any global phone will have tough customer service just by nature.
So whats the verdict on software, which one is better
never disapoints . great information for somone on the fence between these two.
Honor V3 is my personal choice . but this review does show some great points for both.
I think pixel and samsungs heat dissapation issues for fast charging.
i think thats why they offer reduced speeds.
The gemini live ai on the google is scary good. if i could get all those tools on the honor id be over the moon.
Thankyou again
Chinese crap
Hey Average, hope all is well. Thanks for the awesome part 2. I know you say you try and stay competitive with your prices etc. on your website. Just FYI Honor UK now retails the Honor Magic Pen on their website for £79.99. Just in case you can come down on your website price to stay competitive.
PSA! *For those of you like me who own a magic V2 (global), Honor do not and will not offer a trade in service 🙄 if you want to upgrade to V3 having owned the phone since it came out which is now 7 months, I spoke to support and they gave me the bad news. What's worse is that I had accumulated a fair amount of Honor points with the hope of getting the Honor Magic Pen with my points as I was confident it was going to retail on their website at some point. Turns out, you can only use your points to contribute to a max 10% discount of a product price.*
Rocked the V2 for while, but going with the Pixel Fold this year. V3 looks nice though
Hi Average Dad, thank you for your videos. I understand the Pixel 9 Pro Fold just came out so you want to make content with it and compare it, and yes I do agree its a massive upgrade over its predecessor, but none of that changes the fact that the Pixel is not a leading competitor to the Magic V3 Global. Like how is 21W wired/7.5 wireless charging acceptable in 2024?! LOL……….. The conversation of the best foldable boils down to Honor Magic V3 Global vs. Vivo X Fold 3 Pro Global. What I’d love to see is: thin and light vs. better cameras, bigger battery, more RAM. Is the price premium of the Vivo worth it? Is the V3 thinness a game changer or is the Vivo thin enough but the size increase is worth it for the bigger battery and better cameras? Which one will be the first to offer trade-in deals? How are the speakers? How will the durability be over the long run, will they replace the inner screen protector if it lifts or cracks? Have you ever dropped it and which one has better durability against drops, and scratches? How is the experience if we had to service them, which company is better to deal with and has service centers or fast turnaround for repair via shipping? Which one works with more 5G bands and the different carriers? Is there a case for the Vivo that is thin but offers a kickstand to rival the V3? Is 12G Ram of the V3 Global enough, or is 16GB Ram of the Vivo result in better daily usability? That’s what I want to know. Until the One Plus Open 2 comes out, that one will wipe these all. Thank you.
As a Normal human I find the Pixel the best foldable I’ve owned. For my use its photos look great, the speed is perfect and so is the look. Not sure where all the negative reviews come from. Then again the people doing reviews don’t stick with just 1 phone like normal people do.
For a normal human I highly recommend the Pixel. I’ve had numerous folds including the Vivo XFold 3 Pro and I still prefer the Pixel 😊
Interesting as general view is that the Vivo would smash the pixel in nearly every area, incl photos. Why is it you rate the pixel over Vivo?
@@k88kee the Vivo was fantastic, but as an overall package I much prefer the Pixel. I can’t notice any difference in photos or performance. The only things I wish it had that the Vivo has is the battery and fast charging.
The "hate" comes from the massive propaganda monster of the communist regime. How dare you to praise an US product next to the Chinesium masterpiece.
Thanks for all your unbiased videos! After many weeks of research, I preordered the 9 pro fold. I love the pixel experience and getting the first updates. Plus here in the US there were a lot of good store credit incentives on top of a really good trade in value for my pixel 7 pro.
One "good" thing about charging the P9PF is it actually works as advertised. On my OG Pixel Fold, I've maybe seen it hit 21W for a few minutes, but then it quickly dropped to 15-18W, whereas the 9 stays at 20-21W from 10-20% to about 70-80% and then starts to drop off slowly.
But the location of the wireless coil is very annoying. I have 2 stands and a car cradle, and the new Fold doesn't charge in any of them unless I lift it up about a centimetre. Even the official Google Pixel Stand, a £65, 23W charger, doesn't support it. However, at least Google had the decency to take it off sale on their store and Amazon now; before you had to go to a support page to find out about the incompatibility.
What about warranty support? Thats what is stopping me going for the V3 over the pixel. Never managed to get through to their online chat or get a reply to emails.
The one of two problem with overseas phones are warrenty and regional locks. Warrenty claims must be handled in the country of original purchase, and regional locks can only be unlocked by using the phone in for a little bit in the intended region. The seller who you ordered from will usually handle warrenty claims for you but you will have to ship your device over, wait for repairs and for it to be sent back. In that case, hope you have a backup phone
@BrianRamotar_1776 my recent warranty claim with Samsung also required me to ship the phone to them and wait 2 weeks for it to come back. That was UK phone to Samsung UK. Maybe apart from a few days longer wait, i dont imagine it will be that different for a UK phone from Honor UK.
@@k88kee no it wouldn't be all that different unless its a model honor U.K does not offer for sale in the U.K. You should be fine otherwise
@@BrianRamotar_1776 yep Honor UK are selling it here in UK
@@k88kee great! U.K residents are good to go!
I went from the S24 Ultra to the Pixel 9 Pro XL, but I personally don't think the battery life is any better on the S24 Ultra. The are about the same
How you like the pixel over the 9 pro xl
Pixel has satellite emergency commutation also which you didn't mention also special calling features only a Pixel call blocking and answering for you.
Glad to wake up to part 2
Hope you are good. Still no part 3
Hey there, will you also offer the Huawei mate XT in your shop? :D
That 7.5 wireless charging is just laughable.. Haha, it's almost the same as others give reversable charging 😅😅😅
If you were to choose between Magic v3 and Oneplus Open, which one would it be ? The differences between the two are tiny in my opinion and appreciate this is subjective, but wondering what would tip it over for you in favour of one of these ?
Getting the tea brewing and the snacks ready. Part 2 here we go
The Pixel is just too heavy for me.
Wrong
And wide as well! It is 77mm vs 74mm for the V3, but with the side hinge being so big, you dont even get the full benefit to the screen. That plus its additional 1mm thickness means that its harder to use one handed than the v3
@@k88kee wrong
Just got the Honor V3 its incredible! Waiting for my Pixel 9 Fold, it's going to be hard to beat this V3 though in my opinion! I do love the Google ecosystem though.
Why does everyone say the pixel doesn't have floating windows? It's been there since the original fold it just needs enabling in developer settings.
With battery charging if you keep charging at those insane rates it will kill the battery pretty quickly.
All that being said there's a lot of hardware features Google has crapped out with
Honor Magic V3,give it to me😂😂
Im getting both 4 sure. In hand experience is always better than just following reviews. Great video as usual tho.
Good choice!
akk is back to normal now
Hi there! Thank you for your review!
A request. Could you review how these phones and other folding phones (e.g., galaxy fold 6) pair up with windows creating sort of an ecosystem? For instance, Samsung has done some steps towards creating a more seamless experience such as more capabilities in Link to Windows than other brands and auto sync of files and photos in cloud servers such as Google Drive and Onedrive. Would be interesting to see.
Thank you!
A lot of talk about software on the honor I'm quite a hard phone user and have switched from Samsung after over 10 years without issue don't be scarmongered away phones exceptional battery is crazy only thing I would fault on the V2 is the sound the speakers could be louder but not quiet or substandard
Wow so the Google got a bit of a spanking in this video. I must agree with you the Tensor Chipset is not the best on performance. When Samsung did their stupidness of giving Europe the xenyos chip and the rest of the world the snapdragon I was fuming because people were getting identical devices and identical prices but a lesser performing phone.
Great video, in the US most phones especially American companies only charge to 18 to 21 w charging. Hey average dad, when will you do a review for the honor v purse phone, thinking that of getting one. I have the original pixel fold and want to see if it's an upgrade to my pixel fold.
Why is that? Serious question. Glad i found this store. I trust to ship to US.
So far for me Vivo x fold 3 pro is the winner in 2024, especially now with fully operational Android auto and best price for its characteristics
hi thanku for ur great review, do they both have google pay or a pay wallet?
yes 👍
Is it possible to install Nova launcher on the Honor Magic V3?
I was considering getting CN vivo x fold 3 pro but i think its better to have global version magic v3. It will be my first foldable
The weight of the Samsung is great and it's one handed form factor. But Yes not much for so much money. The Pixel Fold 9 is too heavy. What is getting the most use is the RAZR 50 Ultra. This thing has become my day to day. It's always there without one noticing and when you need to spring into action it is just so great (inner and external screen). Cameras are Ok but would not be considering close to what Samsung or Pixel can offer
how did u get over 2m score on magic v3 in untutu 10 most reviewers get between 1300000 and 1500000 which is even worse than sd gen 2 in most phones please correct that
Set the v3 to performance mode
The thing I interact with the most on any phone is the UI and for me that's still where the Samsung is leaps ahead of everyone else. Not just on folding phones. In general One UI is so polished these days. Although to be fair its taken a long time to get it to this level.
The S24 is such a good phone in every way, except it doesn't fold. I hope you're able to get your hands on the Z Fold 6 Special edition as that could be the absolute sweet spot. Samsung UI, almost V3 levels of of hardware, S24 cameras. It could be an absolute beast, just not sure what Samsung are playing at limiting the market!
Not sure what Google are playing at but their interface is shocking, I remember when stock android was the best by a mile but these days its lacking. Can't remove the google search. Wallpapers don't resize properly, just the basics aren't right. Its just a mess. I'm still not sure how Google are getting away with forcing their search on customers either. MS getting sued for IE back in the day but these phone companies get away with the same thing!
I think the main benefit to the V3 is just the hardware. How they've physically done it is incredible but until that OS is better it'll always be a pass for me.
One UI is fine, but having been a One UI user since S10+ or S21 Ultra, perhaps ive been spoilt but it doesnt really do that much for me. Its still a mess of doubled up apps as standard. Tried a bit of pixel's ui on my wifes phone and it does feel smoother, if more basic. Looking forward to trying out Magic OS even if to realise that One UI was best after all ;)
@@k88kee Agreed it is very basic, and I don't mind that so much. Its just the little things that annoy me. I like my home screen central with stuff on the left and right. Home screen wallpapers just don't scale correctly. I could run a different launcher but I'd rather not and I don't think A15 is really addressing any general UI stuff. The Pixel hardware is quite nice to be fair. I've tried Magic, all be it not on a global rom and I wasn't keen. It can do everything all the rest can do but never felt quite as smooth or as polished. I'd like to try a Global one to give it a fair hearing but I don't think its much different.
Wouldn't say its leaps ahead. One plus is damn close in foldable software to one UI. For slabs it'd subjective really I prefer pixel UI over one UI
happy 30k subs!!! OnePlus Open Apex!
Thanks!
Hi AverageDad. In your opinion is China rom better then global rom?
no
@@AverageDadOfficial if you're going to choose would you prefer the global rom?
Really good video.
Thanks!
Let's goo been waiting for this
Se puede escribir con la pantalla exterior apagada en el V3?
OnePlus open seems better than Google's lol
It is a great phone. It was by gateway to feel comfortable buying honor v3 in US. Im sure it will take me a minute to figure out magic. But just a minute.
both are great
Does the magic v3 have uwb ? And does google pay work (nfc payments) ?
Yes it does
@@mohdaskarhang, the V3 doesn't have UWB
Does the Honor Magic 3 work on the US At&t network?
I see the answer is yes. Reported by many users
The pixel fold 9 pro is a bit sluggish when it comes to social media compared to that of the z fold 6 and the colors just aren't as vibrant 😢. I want to love it but this might be returned
Doesn't feel sluggish at all to me & can't stand the overly saturated look of Samsung's phones and cameras but just my opinion in that regard
@@tdwp909 not sluggish at all. Excellent phone, so glad I ditched my Fold6
@@tdwp909 not sure if it's a bad one but it doesn't feel optimized properly feels like it's a unfinished product
@@photorom3419 hasn't been my experience with it, I've been loving it & coming from iPhone it's actually been relatively easy! Much prefer the pixel software over Samsung's one UI. Multitasking could be a bit better but no real complaints here
@@peterheemskerk3182 yea its been a great experience so far for me too!
Re Honor, are any Google services missing or limited? I'm looking at Pay, Photos, Home, Gemini / Assistance, Maps, Messages, etc. Thanks in advance!
If its a China ROM you will have to install google services, unless its installed at the same time as the play store. They will usually do it for you before shipping the phone out
If global rom all apps working great and nothing missing.
That pixel wireless charging is a joke, I mean you can barely get any juice during shit shower and shave lol. Feels like they just put it so they can say they have wireless charging. Well there is room to improve for next years version.
Thnx😢
U r 1 of the best keep doing
I waiting ur vid. Every day
👍🙏
