Weekly poll results: the Honor Magic V3 proves hugely popular | Infinium-tech

According to last week’s survey results, only 1 in 10 people think there are better foldable devices than the Honor Magic V3. This comes with an asterisk because some potential competitors aren’t available in all markets where the V3 exists. However, that’s their loss (and, probably, consumers’ loss too).

Anyway, there are a lot of votes coming in from people who don’t like foldable phones. Never mind, Honor has plenty of traditional phones. But those voters aside, most people like the Magic V3 – the only major problem with it is its price.

Still, 41% of voters are considering buying it, and a further 10% could join them if the reviews are good – in our review, we expressed some concerns about the camera, but concluded that it’s a great all-round option for those looking for a foldable.

Some commenters reported that they have already pre-ordered the Magic V3, and said that this model has fixed all the remaining issues with previous foldable phones like the V2 and others.

For an alternative foldable, the Vivo X Fold3 Pro was mentioned several times, but it is not available in major regions like Europe or the US. The Galaxy Z Fold6 is criticised for its hardware but praised for its software. There were also fans of the OnePlus Open in the comments. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is at a disadvantage as its chipset is not up to par with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 used in the others.

The foldable market is growing, although with only 15.9 million units shipped in 2023, these phones are still very few. However, this number of 15.9 million represents a 25% increase compared to 2022, so they are becoming more relevant every year. And we think devices like the Honor Magic V3 could help accelerate that growth.
