Love your content around this phone. Took the plunge and had mine delivered on Saturday (Purple Global version). From someone who used a Fold 4 and 5, this phone feels so far ahead of them especially in terms of battery life and design. Outstanding phone.
Another awesome video as always, Mike. Thank you for electing me as the winner of your giveaway, I really appreciate it. I have enjoyed my time so far in the average dad community, and I'm looking forward to the future of this channel. You really are one of a kind technology, RUclipsr.
Hello, great video as always. I see you using the pencil. Are you using it on the v2 ultimate (as shown in your previous video) ? Is the global version compatible with the magic-pen ? Thanks !
What exact technology does the designated magic V2 pen use? So we could look for an alternative and ignore those cheap capacitive pens with huge rubber tips. The S-Pen if my fold3 doesn't work. The one of my remarkable 2 neither.
Hi, new subscriber here. I've just purchased the global version. Is there a way to have the front screen layout different to the inside screen layout? I know there are launchers like Nova but as I'm aware they don't support folded phones. Thanks
Just got this purple marvel. The only issue is that the multi layout can't do horizontal like the fold. But this is minor to everything else. Just got it so still getting used to and exploring new features.
@@AverageDadOfficial oh interesting! Will find out how. As mentioned this is new to me so still figuring it out. I see some set layouts here. Mine is not the Chinese set but it is a country/region version so hopefully that is considered international. I am loving its specs and playing with it
Hi mate which better u think magic v2 or oneplus open. The problem oneplus open no contract you have to buy it as sim free. What do u think from ur experiance. Thank you
Hello there got mine in purple in France a few days ago (1099€ I couldn't resist), a few of my friends too, but they aren't so happy cause they think there is a feature missing towards Fold5... => To be able to get different contents on inside and outside screen (different icons/app/wallpaper). For me it doesn't matter and it seems the Pixel and the OnePlus are exactly like the Magic V2 Do you have an opinion on this matter ? Do you think (I know you're not a psychic it's just in case) the new OS will bring the feature ? Thanks for the video of "an average" buyer and not someone paid to review the phone
awesome video 👍 Thanks for your comprehensive reviews on communication devices. Thanks to your insights, I developed a fondness for the Honor V2 phone and have decided to make it my own. I'm curious, do you anticipate Honor launching a global version of the Magic V2 Ultimate device?
Anybody has a workaround for the issue with the refresh rate of the v2? In dynamic mode youtube is 60hz and chrome is 60hz. Even when switching to "high" then youtube max is 90hz as well as chrome. Same for many other apps. Really annoying such a great hardware and display but stuck with 60hz and stuttery input lag
There is a problem that you did not address. The phone does not support running an external launcher. I tried repeatedly to download the Nova Launcher application and install it on the phone, but unfortunately it does not accept installation. Is there a solution to this problem? It is important. I hope you answer it. Thank you for the effort.
Great video, I have a question.... When you sign in with your Google account on the device do you also need to sign on with an Honor account similar to Samsung? Meaning always having two accounts logged in which is somewhat annoying owning a Samsung.
I am here in Canada with an international magic V2. Disappointed that it doesn't support wireless android auto and also it doesn't support the use of the phone as a digital car key. I just got the phone yesterday so if anyone knows of a workaround to get these features working I would be greatdul. Thanks in advance.
@@AverageDadOfficial ahh ok I just bought the Uk variant launched last week. Enjoying it so far but small little features missing wish I could pass on to the team to get implemented. One issue I have is I can’t have the screens horizontal instead of vertically. I know it can be done as you have done it in your video. Overall loving the phone it’s so thin! Just needs a bit more refinement. Issues for me : Can’t find a decent case. All cases that go on the front stop you from swiping from the sides. Can’t find anyone who will insure this in the Uk.
Love the content around this Honor Magic V2 phone. Can y ou post when Honor officially releases the OS 8 update for it? I have a chinese ROM V2 and i cannot get it to work properly with anything Google related. GSpace or otherwise. Thanks!
I need some assistance guys. I have Chinese ROM V2. I love it, but I'm struggling with certain elements.. half the stuff is in Chinese and I can't get notifications for anything in GBox.. Will the proposed Magic 8 update fix this?🤷♂️
Hi AverageDad, Loving your videos, just bought the V2 with the £500 discount, delivered yesterday & it's all set up having swapped from a S22 ultra. I found the Honor launcher a little restrictive but Nova launcher has made it perfect for me now. Thank you for your awesome content on the V2 it has made a believer out of me. One question: Where did you get your flaming card wallpaper on your V2 from? It looks great!!!!!!
Just to share my story, I paid the deposit with Honor Dubai, at the launching I paid the balance, which is almost $1900 total price, there was 9 secret gifts, guess what? 2 out 9 was the shopping bag and the other one is empty box...😂😂😂😂 I found at the retailer better gifts in addition to the 9 of Honor I will get another 3, no privileges for the one who paid the advance payment with amy of those gifts or at least to get the device earlier, so I have cancelled the order and bought s24 Ultra, will 2ait for fold 6, I was really disappointed from Honor, the phone camera comparing to s23 ultra is rubbish, device is nice light and thin but what to do with the camera? What to do for the high price? This is my short story with Honor Magic V2
Great info as always! I have the mix fold3 and just received the honor magic v2 global here in the US. If the mix fold was global, I would use it as daily, however since it is not the Magic V2 global is better the choice. It's better than the OnePlus open in my opinion and no point in mentioning that Korean brands foldable. 🤣 Keep up the great work and invaluable info you provide!
The more i watch you .The more I'm amazed you don't have a lot more subscribers. I will definitely keep watching you and hope to your numbers grow . Which I'm sure they will . Asi watch a lot of tech reviews and feel a lot are not really to be trusted to be impartial. Keep up the good work 😊
I am still hesitating. Didn't decide to skip it but did not decide to buy it.. At 1099€ i know it's a real bargain but the fact that it can't replace my xiaomi 13 ultra for day to day photos and the stress-free IP68 certification has me hesitating to pull the trigger.... It would be a good phone but to be used Alternatively with my 13 ultra...
The stylus is such a gimmick. It doesn't support pressure tilt or anything and just works as a capacitive stylus that has been around since capacitive displays were a thing.
I've just bought this phone... Massively influenced by your video.. Ive been using the note 10 plus. Bought this when it was new but never upgraded because all the upgrades just never seemed worth the price until this..
I'm still not quite clear whether you like the Magic v2 😂 Also, it's all very well being thinner than a piece of bread, but i wonder how the phone would fare in a toaster? Opportunity for a new vid?
Questions: 1) Does the Global V2 have a Google Pixel type Call Screening feature? 2) Also, does the Global V2 have a voice recorder app that can transcribe voice to text like the voice recorder app on Pixel phones do? 3) Does the Global V2 have an option to customize the battery charge animation?
Shame they can't fit spen in too body even if the cost is thicker size, but spen in samsung is really usefull. I wish that xiaomi will release mix 4 with s pen working on both screens 😮💨🥳
I love your to the point and informative videos, but am seriously going to have to stop watching 🤣As I may just have bought the V2 when i only just bought the s24 ultra....... And don't need 2 phones lol...Bye bye Samsung...
Oh my god I won!! Thank you soooooo much. Just sent you a long Instagram message. Shout if it doesn't make sense. 😅. Thanks again and loving your content!!!!!!!!🎉🎉
Just bought a v2 after 15 years of iPhone. LARGELY influenced by your reviews. Thanks!
Have you tried a stylus on it
I couldn't even buy a stylus from the store. Can't find it online as well
Me tooo😅
Any tips on how to transfer whatsapp data from iPhone to android? I got my V2 yesterday but idk how to transfer my whatsapp data

agree, there is a fairly big reddit community around this device too
Any recommendations on where UK individuals can source the stylus? And can non honor styluses work do you know ?

Thanks mate, i really appreciate your support and engagement in the group!
Congrats, Ethan, you deserve it. You sound like a good dad ❤
@@MrSkrifle cheers mate.
Yes but is that a toastie loaf or thick slice?
Do you know if there's a way to check the battery level on the pen?
Hi,do you have a link for the v2 global vegan version?
How did you do horizontal split with 2 apps? I can only do vertical?
Hello, great video as always. I see you using the pencil. Are you using it on the v2 ultimate (as shown in your previous video) ? Is the global version compatible with the magic-pen ? Thanks !

Good evening from Malta I have fold 2 Chinese version any idea update?
How much for the one your selling fella?
Gone mate
Did the european Version of MV2 Support something Like DeX?
is this the same camera on the magic pro 5
Yes apart from the zoom lens.
Hi, new subscriber here.
I've just purchased the global version.
Is there a way to have the front screen layout different to the inside screen layout?
I know there are launchers like Nova but as I'm aware they don't support folded phones.
Thanks
Would you recommend this phone over the one plus open as you can't get the one plus on a network contract
What foldable phones have wireless charging
Is it easy to find cases for this phone? Screen protectors? A foldable without these 2 is too high of a risk.
Just got this purple marvel. The only issue is that the multi layout can't do horizontal like the fold. But this is minor to everything else. Just got it so still getting used to and exploring new features.
? global version does do horizontal

Hi. Does the stylus allow palm rejection
Yes
@@AverageDadOfficial hi.. may I check what's the model of the stylus and the phone? I got a v2 and magic pencil 2 but it's not connecting.
@@AverageDadOfficial hello
awesome video 👍
Thanks for your comprehensive reviews on communication devices. Thanks to your insights, I developed a fondness for the Honor V2 phone and have decided to make it my own. I'm curious, do you anticipate Honor launching a global version of the Magic V2 Ultimate device?
I don't think so, however there is some speculation that the porsh v2 will launch globally. It's essentially the same phone as the v2 ultimate.
Anybody has a workaround for the issue with the refresh rate of the v2? In dynamic mode youtube is 60hz and chrome is 60hz. Even when switching to "high" then youtube max is 90hz as well as chrome. Same for many other apps. Really annoying such a great hardware and display but stuck with 60hz and stuttery input lag
Will you be doing comparison with one plus open?
already done... one of my biggest videos
Really glad i found your channel, love the content, and the humour, and has really helped sway me in which fold to buy. so thank you

i have addressed this many times.
@@AverageDadOfficial Ok, what is the solution? Do you have a program or a ticket application to avoid this problem?
Is it true thé V2 chinese, Will get full Google support with an update ?
You can use a stylus on the outter display of the Z Fold 6, just not the SPen. A regular stylus works just fine.
Great video, I have a question.... When you sign in with your Google account on the device do you also need to sign on with an Honor account similar to Samsung? Meaning always having two accounts logged in which is somewhat annoying owning a Samsung.
im using global v2 and dont have a honor account so i think the answer to your question is no its not required
I totally agree, I love the Honor Magic V2 hardware.
can u do video on the difference between the Chinese and global ROM ??
already done a few
I am here in Canada with an international magic V2. Disappointed that it doesn't support wireless android auto and also it doesn't support the use of the phone as a digital car key.

Literally just took this phone as my upgrade because of your videos on it, thanks 🙂
What is the best cell phone other than Samsung or iPhone???? What is best sir, God bless you.
Made it harder to decide! OnePlus Open or Magic V2. Only thing that worries me with Magic V2 is using it in rain....need I worry?
Not at all mate.
Where did you get the pen
comes included with the V2 Ultimate

Hi AverageDad,
Loving your videos, just bought the V2 with the £500 discount, delivered yesterday & it's all set up having swapped from a S22 ultra.
I found the Honor launcher a little restrictive but Nova launcher has made it perfect for me now.
Thank you for your awesome content on the V2 it has made a believer out of me.
One question: Where did you get your flaming card wallpaper on your V2 from? It looks great!!!!!!
Just to share my story, I paid the deposit with Honor Dubai, at the launching I paid the balance, which is almost $1900 total price, there was 9 secret gifts, guess what? 2 out 9 was the shopping bag and the other one is empty box...😂😂😂😂 I found at the retailer better gifts in addition to the 9 of Honor I will get another 3, no privileges for the one who paid the advance payment with amy of those gifts or at least to get the device earlier, so I have cancelled the order and bought s24 Ultra, will 2ait for fold 6, I was really disappointed from Honor, the phone camera comparing to s23 ultra is rubbish, device is nice light and thin but what to do with the camera?

Glad you liked it!
I have one, awesome phone!
Come on AD, we are all waiting for your comparison of OnePlus open vs magic v2 global
Probably not happening... why would i? i have compared the 2 already, nothing is going to change now that all the global has is android auto
