   Amazingingly thin phone, super fast charging, could not believe how fast it charged first time, makes my previous phones feel so old and outdated. Do not have to charge everyday unlike other 2 previous foldables I’ve owned. Magic eraser is precise and fun to use, fills in the erased parts really well, spooky sometimes how the AI knows even though there is no indication of what should be there eg it knew colour and pattern of a chair even though person erased was sat covering the whole seat! Software really good, took a couple of days to familiarise self to where all settings were and customisation is good. Bonus case included which is really good quality, fits really well and kickstand is cleverly designed. Paid £90 for a similar case for my previous foldable which was ‘not” included!!. Purchased when price dropped by £300 which was another bonus, this is a lot of latest tech phone for the money.

   Don’t buy it!Sadly I have to say this.The phone is amazing but in the UK there is no CS!!!!I got told 14 days to send the phone in the replace a slightly scratched outside screen protector or to buy one from someone but that would affect my warranty… Warranty? What warranty if you lose your phone for 2 weeks?As usual great Chinese tech but pray it doesn’t go wrong…..

   Amazing hardware, crap software, with a real cringe factor…
   This is a Cadillac phone for sure… Too bad the interior is all basic Honda Civic quality. For one the honor apps keep forcing themselves to be default when you don’t want them to. This gives the vibe that the phone still has its spyware and malware roots from the days of Huawei. I was already uneasy about this when I got it but because it was the global version and uses Google base software, I felt safe enough trying it out cause the Samsung Z Fold 6 just didn’t have the charging capabilities this phone was supposed to have but which I could not for the life of me get it to charge at the supported rates. I have tried a over 6 different high wattage chargers from well known brands and none of them were able to get the phone to charge at the rates the phone is supposed to support. Undaunted I then added in the latest cables that supported the specific charging technologies used by this phone… Nope nothing more than 22 watts MAX, for a phone that should be able to go up to 50 watts.The MagicOS this runs on is too lean and lacks the maturity of the Samsung OS I am used to. It feels glitchy too. Things will randomly stop working, like pressing and holding on items on screen will stop and you have to reboot to get it to stop. Weird things like you will set an app as default and those settings will get reverted back to factory defaults after reboot.The camera you have to activate the high res shooting which is a pain and makes no sense, who wants to take low res photos by default? Also the advertised 100x zoom is total crap can’t see anything, it’s really just feature bait with no real value.Over all tho the device feels solid and the audio is really good, best I have heard in a long time.I’ll miss the audio and the snappiness, but that is about it. Too much weirdness and cringe factor cause of the glitches and the whole Huawei spyware/malware history of this company, which seems to still persist even after Honor was separated from Huawei. The apple is always like the tree it fell from, even if it rolled over under a different tree.
