Unboxing the Honor Magic Vs foldable phone, with a 3 day review of the camera tech, gaming performance and more. The Honor Magic Vs is one of the best folding smartphones of 2022, beating Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 4 in a few ways including the excellent battery life.
Everything is smooth thanks to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. Multi-tasking on that mighty internal screen works well, while gamers will enjoy a slick Genshin Impact experience. And the 5000mAh battery packed inside the Honor Magic Vs is bigger than the Samsung Z Fold’s cell, offering all day play.
The 54MP Sony camera sensor does a decent job across a range of conditions, with telephoto and ultra-wide options also on board. While it’s not the best camera setup of any 2022 smartphone, the Honor Magic Vs still impresses.
I had a few issues with this foldable phone over the past few days, including no apparent support for 5G and a lack of an apps tray. But these grumbles aside, the Honor Magic Vs has been a fun full-time smartphone. So what do you think, is this one the greatest folding mobiles of the year? Check out my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 review for more on its biggest rival!

Looks amazing, too bad it looks like no US release
I'm thinking about getting a fold 5 next year?
Honestly I'm fine with my fold 4. Is awesome. This one looks Great too but I prefer samsung environment. 👍
Can you zoom to get video full screen, on the inner display (like with Samsung)?
Mind your language please. I am unsubscribing now
I stick to my previous comment. The only fold device that I would consider after drinking huge amounts of Belgian beer is the Oppo N or N2 (if the size of the latter would be equal to the original one). It's compact while offering enough screen estate on both screens. Of course I would have to be even more wasted when it comes to paying the thing…
Can you get it on any of the networks in the UK?
As always, great review. It's nice to see that there are other choices of foldables out there besides big Samsung.
Better than Z Fold4 that's for sure
Still prefer the size of the Oppo foldable but wish it were available here in the States
what fame he was playing!???
This phone is 7499rmb in china= 1100 usd
Inner screen should support at least 3 apps on multitasking. Two with all that estate is wasteful for productivity.
I loved Huawei so it's nice to see that familiar software living on.
Outer display is perfect size….
Great content, as always. Though, a confusing title
What person thought square aspect ratio was the best design for a MEDIA consuming device? Like wow. Nothing in this day and age comes out in that aspect ratio.
You know how many friends do I known with folding phones, 0. 3 of them own phone shops. And none of them is using this plastic folding crap. There is NO POINT doing reviews for that shit. As no one buys that crap for €1300
I watched on my Samsung Galaxy Fold4.
6:34 we got a within destruction fan here
Looks so bad, so cheap…
hey tech squirt what is the best foldable and what is the best flip phone right now in your opinion?
is it possible to watch (for example youtube) videos on the upper half screen while the smartphone is partially unfolded (like samsung "flex mode" ) ? can you show it pls?
Chris ive got z fold 3 .the honour phone fold dosent have a s pen it's bulky I am a Samsung customer for beginners of Samsung 6 onwards what's the price of this phone …is the screen bigger than z fold 4 before my upgrade in February's 2023
Not sold on the hybrid foldable. My main issue is that for media, the square aspect ratio makes it marginally better than a candy bar phone for media consumption. So for me, a bit of a fail, and instead, I have a Tab S7+ and S22U that came to a similar price due to the Fold4 being stupidly priced in the UK. We will see if Honor can get it down to S23U pricing, then I would get an S23U and keep my Tab S7+ for media.
More of a "what's in the box" than an unboxing.
Wow, are foldable phones really going to become a thing? At first I thought that it was just going to be a passing trend but it looks like Samsung has done it again, what an interesting feature that we are heading into, hey thanks Chris
Seems like they didn't miss a single thing, quite awesome and I can't tell why it's that much cheaper
How did you order this Foldable smartphone
Is the Honor fold water resistant like the Z Fold4…??
I love the size of the outer and inner display….hopefully Samsung will take notice for the next Z Fold…
Honor Magic Bs👂
4:41 oh my God, square foldables are the worst way to watch ultrawide films. Is there more black than film!
4:51 Disney Plus app has a bug where it leaves space for the hole punch camera but it also leaves the same amount of space on the other side, hence the black left/right bars. Stupid. At least OneUI on the Galaxy Z Fold 2 has the option to fill the camera space and avoid that. I bet Honor software doesn't have that
