[chari-men]

yup. not much diff. it is just that at least honor owner 爽......lol

moreover u can proudly tell those 三八老 thinnest fold phone n 1st in the world outside CN to have it.

Yup yup.. I prefer more practical stuff like features and functionality...

 

[maumu]

usually for honor will they keep their price steady for a long time? or will drop after a couple of months / more discounts?

my 15 Ultra still very new. not sure how it'll fetch on carouhell.

Will be getting my V5 this Saturday. Pre order from green camp . This will be my 2nd Fold. 1st fold was the 1st Gen Samsung Fold without any pen input, large and sturdy but too cumbersome to lug around. Mainly use at home.Retail was S$2K but signup contract at S$500, give it a try. So far till now (handover to Father in law) still working fine. No issue with the screen.

Yes, Once you got into fold no turning back. Been waiting for better ones but the few gen of folds from Samsung was not to my liking due to small iterations, same battery, same size, same camera which is not a breakthrough for me until Magic V2 and N5. These make me rethink about getting the fold. These supports stylus on both screens but the pricing was still steep. Now that honor comes with new technology with lots of improvements, I pull the trigger. Was a Samsung user from Note till Note 8. Love the stylus only that screen is too small. Now that the Samsung Fold 7 totally ditches the stylus, I am honor to use Honor with the large display with stylus supports, good battery life and good camera, albeit might lose from Vivo Fold X5 but still a better than other fold IMO. I got the dawn gold version.

Looking forward to it...

Regards,

Retiring my Huawei P30 pro to Honor Magic V5... Still have my Vivo X80 Pro. The last of the Vivo X series officially in SG

Or you can change your life to fit F7...

Haha... gadgets are meant to complement our lives, not the other way round lah.

I'm very unhappy with s23u on ui7. That's why I'm looking to change it. Usually I hold my phone for at least 3yrs.

After PO you will get less freebies, naturally price will drop a bit over time as well...

How's the OneUI on F7??

 

[jazz6263]

This will be my first honor phone. Usually stick with Samsung, Huawei and Vivo. For me personally, the rest does not have the best camera. I still want a fold for my daily driver but photography aside, still have my Vivo X80 pro. Looking to have all in one but maybe I'm asking too much. Who knows in the future. Vivo Fold X5 have all the bells and whistle only that it is not officially launch here in Sillypore. I really want to tryout V5 camera capabilities. Hope it serves well...

Vivo x fold 5 will be officially launched in SG, just don't expect it to be cheap though.

Best! Smooth and fast, very customisable. Multitasking is good enough for me and not overly complicated. That's why it makes it hard for me to move to say n5 or v5. Was considering them as well but ui8 is really good for me. Haha.

The Vivo Fold 5 global version only has black color and don't have the apple integration features... And launching probably the same price as V5 or F7 with last gen hardware... I would say you made a wise decision

Oh yes. I tried using apple's built in automation and gave up. Too unfriendly. Haha.

this round of honor fold not much people buying, unlike last year lot of people buying. maybe is becos it too expensive by 200 buds compared to last year version.

 

[jazz6263]

Probably the upgrade is not worth since they have V3. They can skip V5..wait for V6 .
Same thing like Samsung Fold series.. consumer might skip a generation or two to upgrade.
For me, been waiting a long time...

 

[yhw22]

I also skip it, but I can foresee that the V5 is tougher than V3 or V2.

an upgrade that can't be feel in real life... except the hardware... which is the SAME LOOK!

 

[jazz6263]

Just like what Apple said, if it ain't broke, why fix it?
