Why not try smartdevil hydrogel sp? It's on taobao. I used it and it's pretty good. Smoother than the original SP. Check back a few threads for the link I shared.
thanks mate.

i dunch have taobao account... and, I suck at pasting SPs. can imagine myself wasting resources if I diy.

would local shops happen to have the same SP? I would pay for their service...

anyone knows if can go to Honor service centre (Plaza Sing) and paste a new front screen SP?

I like the original SP as it's thin and smooth to the touch. not sure which other SP I should go for if not for the factory one... :rolleyes:
Yup think got 1-2 replacements free per year or something if not wrong...

Hi Honor Magic V5 owners, I am considering this and Samsung Z Fold 7.

Is the software experience better than Zfold 7?

Hows the battery life for real life daily usage?

I think smartdevil on shopee don't have the v5 hydrogel sp. Local shops I am not sure, you have to try luck. I just ditched the heavy casing (front cover comes with tempered glass) yesterday. Now just using another case back cover only with smartdevil sp, it's very much smoother. I guess you have to shop around. The outer display has curved edges, hard to use tempered glass.

Coming from s24 plus, I personally prefer OneUI.

Unfortunately, the battery statistics resets daily. Every time I charge, it doesn't reset the stats. I can't accurately measure. I always charge once it hits 50%. I'm not a gamer. Mainly browsing, Netflix YouTube, outlook teams, messaging etc. It can last me one day. I estimate SOT should be 6 hours and more.

You can also access the QR Code scanner from the control center when you swipe down from the top. If it is not there, click on the Edit shortcut button to add it.

didnt experience any crashing. better uninstall and then try again.
Weirdly, I tried to reinstall and still same issue occurs. It allows me to open Netflix and watch but when I close Netflix once or twice and reopen Netflix. The error will appear and I have to restart my phone to reopen Netflix to watch..
