Only 1 in 10 people think there are better foldables than the Magic Honor V3judging by the results of last week’s poll. This comes with an asterisk, as some potential competitors simply aren’t available in all markets where the V3 is present. However, that’s their loss (and, perhaps, a loss for consumers).
Either way, there’s the lingering vote of people who just don’t like foldables. Granted, Honor makes plenty of traditional phones. But those voters aside, most people like the Magic V3 — the only major problem with it is its price.
Still, a whopping 41% of voters are considering buying one, and another 10% might join them if reviews are good – in our reviewWe expressed some concerns about the camera, but concluded that this is a great all-around option for anyone looking for a foldable camera.
Some commenters report that they have already pre-ordered a Magic V3, saying that this model fixed all the remaining issues they had with previous foldable phones like the V2 and others.
As for alternative foldables, the vivo X Fold3 Pro has been mentioned several times, but it simply isn’t available in major regions like Europe or the US. The Galaxy Z Fold6 has been criticized for its hardware but praised for its software. There have also been fans of the OnePlus Open in the comments. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold suffers because its chipset is no match for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 used in the others.
The foldable market is growing, although with only 15.9 million units shipped in 2023These phones are still a niche. However, those 15.9 million handsets represented a 25% increase compared to 2022, so they’re becoming more relevant every year. And we think devices like the Honor Magic V3 can help accelerate that growth.
