Honor Magic V3

[Amuroraysg]

any review on the software experience.. i am kinda tired seeing reviewer blabering about battery life how thin it is camera, etc.. i want to know how its software is.. how the tablet experience like... multi tasking.. not much people get into detail on that

Tempted to get the V3 for my wife, but anyone knows why there is no backup to cloud option for honor phones in Singapore?

Got the Magic 6 pro for my son but couldnt figure out how to backup his phone. Previously on my P30 pro, i was able to backup the phone to huawei cloud and it was really convenient. When i sent my phone to the service centre, i backed everything up in cloud and when i collected the phone back i can restore the whole phone back like it was before. Even the apps layout and everything was the same.

This is the only drawback i feel with honor phones now. Or i may be wrong? Anyone can advice?

Xiaomi 13 Singapore set.
Does not get hot at all under any kind of usage. Very rare. I had researched this very thoroughly before purchase.

But, I repeat. V3 is fine most other normal people. My requirements are more exacting than needed by most other users.

Nice, used to be Xiaomi fanboy but what triggered me to switch was my bad experience with hyperos when they first launched. Probably they are much better now.

Personally I quite like magic UI.
The launcher is pretty great, and I like the expanded folder/expanded icon option on the home screen. Allows for quick access to app functions. I find that magic portal is quite useful as well, was surprised on how often I used it. Overall i think magic UI has improved over the time I had the magic 6 pro to the extend that I prefer it to microsoft launcher, which i usually use. Though this was not an option here. If I remember correctly, Magic UI has a bug where 3rd party launchers cannot use the swipe navigations. Not sure if they fixed it.

Just placed an order for the black colour model with $70 DBS voucher via Shopee. So excited to buy my first non Huawei phone that comes with google services since 2018. All the best to those holding out for 9.9 sales.

Ya this is the method i am backing up for my sons phone now. But a bit tedious as compared to backing up to cloud which is automatic

I think honor no longer share Huawei cloud Liao, that's also one feature I liked coming from Huawei mate 20x

Agree, it's getting better for sure compared to before magic os 8. Hope they continue improving and iron out all those bugs. And also the issue of slow update frequency compare to other brands like Samsung, google and OnePlus.

Honor got cloud ah, as with all other brands, the 1st option in settings call honor id. Had it for all my prev Local honor phones.

I find honor's Notes app very neat, but too bad can't synch w S.note or any other Note taking apps for that matter.

I got $50 voucher deduction then plus mari CC 5% coins rebate plus shopback 4% abt $80 cash.

 

[eddy0505]

Not so fast out of stock one I feel, they have stocks in retail, and warehouse to anticipate demand (probably forecast using sales figures post china launch tho sg is a much smaller market for sure). Hopefully this Sunday got surprise sale + the voucher can get this cheaper to test test.

While I am not getting the phone, I would caution on getting the leather back one as the leather may peel over the longer term in singapore's humid climate.
