Honor Magic V5

[Jurong640]

Just played around with the V5 display in stores against my Galaxy Fold7.

V5 is much easier to pry open fold due to the rounded corners that enables better grip. Camera placement is better than Fold 7 as it don't wobbles much when you type messages on flat table.

Bezels wise, it is thicker than Fold7.

V5 seems wider?

Like I told u, surely not $1999 anymore, sad thing is no mention of screen crack, no mention of green line straight change unlike Malaysia. 2 years warranty no cover screen crack.. how to buy?

Yeah, the warranty terms are different in Malaysia. Is this because Honor is managing the distribution sales directly in Malaysia while SG is run by third party vendor?

So price is out, decision time...

the crease is less visible on the Fold7, but the screen is less reflective on the V5

I tried zf7 main screen on the bright sun. Either still reflective or not bright enough. Not recommended to use under bright sunlight.

Z Fold 7 has 2600 nits whilst V5 has 5000 nits. Cannot compare lah

 

[fumikasu]

Shopee has $200 discount voucher, so effectively pulls the price down to 1999.
