A few things to note
1. Samsung throttles the processor by 40+% under heavy loads + worse heat dissipation. Paper speed doesn't matter because Samsung won't even reach that max speed as claimed in real world usage
2. Honor has S1 security chip as well, which one is more secure this one I dunno liao.
3. How often will you shoot 8k 30fps?
4. You haven't even seen a real life V5 demo set, let me know again if this is true/practical once you use the sharp edge Fold 7 for a long period of time lol
5. For Samsung, any human caused flaw in exterior condition as perceived by the SC will likely void any warranty claims and charge you hefty repair sum - speaking from an ex Samsung user myself and many other cases from friends, family and reddit. Honor even tho slow response time, so far I think they honor their warranty coverage pretty well.

I'm using the S24U. It also comes with sharp corners. Ok mah

For hardware security of both phones

According to AI

The Honor Magic V5 features advanced hardware security measures, including a secure boot and encryption, aimed at protecting user data. In comparison, Samsung Knox provides a comprehensive security platform with government-grade protection, mobile management, and analytics, making it a robust choice for enterprise users.

That is so unfortunate. Hope this batch get resolved soon
again, this one...might be user issue...hard to know if it's out from factory issue or user issue.

hopefully won't happen in global release. else can go their new sc bang table..

There are a few areas this v5 lose out to Samsung Z Fold 7

1) It's SD 8 Elite processor speed is slower than Samsung's proprietary SD 8 Elite processor
2) It's audio chip is only 24-bit/192kHz. Samsung is 32-bit/384kHz
3) No 8K@30fps video
4) I prefer Samsung's sharper edge corners than v5's rounded corners
5) Samsung's UI is more polished
6) Warranty 1 yr vs 2 yrs by Samsung. TBC
7) v5 does not support UWB
Normal ppl who use 8k videos?
Honor v5 red/green lines appear liao


If u look at the video clear enough, the hinge already broken. Should be some pressure broke the hinge and screen. And green line is classic Samsung phone in mrt haha
