V3 launch price berapa? Was it 5999?
Yes I think so. Not so sure cos not interested in Magic OS. If you don't mind 8gen3 chip, Shopee sellers are selling Vivo X Fold 5 for less than 5000 China ROM Fon set

hi everyone. what is the best place to pre-order the Magic V5?
through Honor Online, Honor Store, or resellers like SenQ, Harvey, UR, etc?
Tempted to try the beautiful Dawn Gold colour.
Thanks in advance!
Hi bro.. From my point of view la.. The official store in shopee. Can get extra 30k coins (rm300 equivalent) as well as free harmon kardon speaker (rm1399). Most importantly if u really want sealed set https://s.shopee.com.my/7ASnHFej20
Other reseller ok also but not sealed for sure lo. And might not have the HK speaker. Haha. Best value foldable in 2025 for me la π

Most retailers offer same pre-order price and gifts. I ordered mine from SenHeng. I was contemplating between Shopee (with 30k coins/RM300 cashback) and SenHeng/SenQ (with extra 1 year warranty). At the end, I chose SenHeng because of the warranty factor.

From my experience with SenQ, they were also sealed. They will ask us whether we want to unseal it on the spot during collection.

Portrait shots still have excessive AI processing?
this is what i found
1. battery - i have set the limit battery charge up to 80%, but it still went up to 100%. but that is sometimes how phone learn from the charging pattern. im sure next time charging will limit to 80% itself
2. camera - working great, no major bugs. for portrait shots, turn off the AI, beautify mode and stick to film simulation instead. AI enhanced potrait makes those bokeh looks smudged and unnatural.
3. ram - the extra ram is turn on by default, turn it off. you dont need more.
4. keyboard - the pre-installed keyboard (Gboard) feel sluggish a bit, but nothing major. still usable.
I pre-order on 24th, and phone shipped on 25, and received on 26. but shopee (Urbxx Rexxblic) said Free gift while stock last. (currently their shopee page put sold out). i was wondering how can I confirm that I'm really the unlucky that "while stock last" or suspect that the speaker did not send to me?.... check with Honor (since I'm sure free gift suppose send together by honor), surely can trace from pre-order list.

I had similar fear when I did my pre-order. The free gift is my deal breaker. I asked first before I placed my pre-order. Some shopee resellers told me the same, while stock lasts or depending on allocation. So I didn't order from them. I fear they will abuse the so-called while stock lasts and keep or resell the gift. We wouldn't know.
So I went to SenQ, and they confirmed I can get one. I even told them, if I couldn't get the gift, I will cancel order. Because after all if there's no gift, I can always wait for a cheaper deal.
I think for your case, you can check with Honor official. But not sure if it's helpful, or maybe some other members here can offer better advice.
If it were me, I think I will fight for it. If I have proof during purchase that there will be free gift. Otherwise it is a misleading ad and can always go for consumer tribunal. That's me la.

Should have bought from official shopee bro if u wanted the free speaker π or pm the seller first to confirm the free gift

Fight for the the free gift. Last date for free gift is 24th, and you are eligible for that.
Sending photo via WhatsApp reduced the quality of photo by alot lol. Original photo taken by camera is excellent btw.
Teach u a trick , rather than directly click the camera icon , try to click beside the camera icon , after this HOLD the Camera Icon for for about 1sec , then it will pop-out "Take Photo / Reord Video" , this camera will far better , then send it as HD will even better. But stil nothing can beat that taking the shot with your original camera then only send thru whatsapp in HD , but it will request more step.
The whatsapp in-app camera for android is really far behind from apple , because from what i understanding , if u taking picture/video directly just press the icon , it actually taking screenshot/video recording screen and send but not from your original camera , u belum try video lagi , taking video in-app for android is painful , like taking with 20fps if u slide up to zoom , it jerking , taking video and zooming in iOS whatsapp is so smooth , that the downside of android that people always say not fully optimize.

After days of asking and disappointment, they suddenly ask for my address and ship me the speaker, said free gift come later. Which I appreciate anyhow, at last, I got the gift. Thanks for everyone supports here.
durability i think honor, i guess i'll just have to get use software in honor phone later
For normal people use, whatever Samsung phone can do, Honor and any other phone also can do. Maybe need to learn new work flow but after 3 days can familiarize liao
Don worry about software update bro. Any brand also doing very well now , samsung given u 7 year , but will u hold a phone for more than 7 year? Dont think so
Finally a reason to use 100x Zoom haha, taken with wobbly hands.
Is hinge protection important when picking a case? Probably gonna be sweaty most days from work, so I don't wanna ruin the leather case that came with it.

Actually, recently I noticed on Carousell a few posts selling the Harman Kardon speaker, likely posted by buyers of V5 Pre-Order. If they really manage to sell the speaker off for RM800-900, then they would only pay nett about RM6,099-6,199 for the V5 itself.

carousell flooded with the sales post for the speaker, 800 also hard to sell. i saw cheapest 650 and the price negotiable.

So hows everyone's v5 experience? Is it as expected or you feeling unsatisfied with the phone?
For me, major upgrade from Xperia 1 IV. Suffered from terrible Snap8 Gen 1 chip and overheating. Now can get signal in places previously die die also can't receive lol.
Features wise still getting the hang of it, Honor AI is quite helpful, Triple tab screen is crazy lol. MagicOS is almost like iOS, so just have to get used to it.
Was deciding between all the China phone OS for so long until realizing V5 is launching
Steep price for phone, but am really satisfied so far. Otherwise I'd probably holding a Find X8 Pro right now lol.

Better than I had expected, otherwise I would have traded in by now. And I'm coming from pixel and Samsung. I did research from reddits and hardwarezone forum on the pros and cons of magic OS.I checked out Reddit and HardwareZone to see what people were sayingβthe good and the badβabout Magic OS. YouTubers review were mostly very biased. Can't expect much from paid partnership.
Hopefully more apps are optimized for foldable viewings, which is no fault of android. Lazada and shopee look so messy and horrible in foldable mode, even after changing the aspect ratio.
And I would have preferred the biometric finger print scanner to be on the screen similar to pixel, not at the side frame.

definitely a major upgrade, I used Xperia 1 IV as well. random overheating despite changing a few in settings just not to make it overheat. its a great device, but it being brought down by its chipset and expensive AF price.
steep price but it do come with good warranty coverage tho

i would say if honor decide to place biometric fingerprint scanner on the screen, it wont achieve the thin ratio that we are enjoying right now. its a compromise that user have to take.
i wish more local seller bring in accesories for the v5, but most of the seller is located in China lol
No free gift then RM6199 isn't as good as if you just pre-order directly cause you could have gotten harman kardon onyx studio 9, which is worth about RM1.1k and also extended warranty etc.

not everyone need the speaker thou, i personally prefer cash rebate. the harman kardon can get in carousell with new one for rm500 now if you are lucky enough.

A little bit of rebate if you able to sell speaker near the rrp. But now theres alot of that speaker being listed lol, so not worth selling.
I intended to sell mine but after looking at those listing, decided to keep it myself for future home later.

The cheaper one usually is listed by new Carousell seller and/or listed in remote towns. That doesn't always mean they are legit. Just saying.
It's unfortunate that we can't manually set a charging limit for the battery and must rely on the phone's software to understand our charging habits when it reaches 80%.
For those who are still confused about the smart charging function, you can read the FAQ at the link below.
Hi everyone. Been thinking to get the V5 to replace my Oppo Find N3 which has a number of unoptimised apps:
1. Lazada always opens in 2 screens split in middle no matter how you try to force it 2. Microsoft Team always unstable and unable to type on keyboard
Does any of you tried Teams on V5 yet? Hoping it is stable.
Apart from these software issue. The N3 still takes awesome photos
No issue typing in msteams. But got occassional missing chats. Sometimes overnight only can retrieve the whole chat back. Also delayed notifications at times.
hi got one question to ask .. the phone cannot set different lock and home screens for both the inner and outer display ? been trying to figure that out ..

Thanks for the feedback. I think that sounds like a Microsoft bug. I used to get missing chat for some group chat on Skype. It's an odd bug. At least it can still allow to type properly which was my annoyance on Oppo N3.

Ouch.. So V5 still has notification delayed issue, that's one of the reason I switched to Fold 6 last time π
Guess they freeze the apps from background running to conserve battery

Lazada's foldable support is quite poor with weird split screen with sort of duplicated items on left and right. It's been like that for a while, so not putting my hopes up for this to be rectified anytime soon. Sigh.

This is a UI limitation in Honor and Oppo foldable UI.
The only foldable UI that can do this so far is Samsung foldable UI.

so its a UI quirk , thought it would be more or less similar to the samsung ones.. probably got used to the razr and samsung ui, thats why kinda surprised when i kept trying to set the wallpaper and it kept changing

yeah. this is a major drawback for many users. since it's part of the daily usability of the phone. hope Honor can improve their UI to include this in future.

I did try Lazada on V5 and it opens in a single screen on the large display. So no issues there for V5. For my Oppo N3 and also tested on N5, Lazada is still showing split screen. I think it is device related and not an issue to all foldable phones

Yeah Lazada opens in a single page on V5. My issue is I tried to force it to open with split screen in the setting and the app still shows one big page lol. Only Lazada app behaves this way so far though.
Guys. How to prevent thief/someone shutdown using physical button?
My vivo have "unlock to power off" which mean if someone turning off my phone , it request my biometric or passcode , try check in your honor under security setting.
For the sim card lock , whenever someone try to switch sim card or once they take off the sim card tray and re-put , it will prompt a passcode to verify only able to use the phone.

Did the staff help u set up the phone? If yes, then might he already claimed for you. Go to services tab and warranty query. It should appear there if claimed.

Standby mode yes need passcode or biometric to unlock. Mostly android phone if you force push button on+volume up the phone will restart and button on+volume down it will shutdown without asking passcode. It's really scary if phone got stolen. I realized after change to esim.

Interesting, I didn't know got such function in Vivo

And also it have a feature that u can turn off "Open Control Center from lock screen" , this to prevent when someone get ur phone , they can slide down control center from your phone lock screen to turn off WIFI and MOBILE connection.
So if someone want to turn off my WIFI / MOBILE connection , must UNLOCK my phone with biomatrix / passcode , UNLESS u direct plug out my sim card from sim card tray , at this moment i feel e-SIM will be more safe , because u can't disable my e-SIM and as long as u can't turn off my phone , cant unlock my phone , then my phone stil able to connect to mobile data and i can trace my phone in google "Find Hub". Did u try the Google "Find Hub" before?
Not sure Honor have this feature? If have then better just turn if OFF to prevent someone turn off your wifi/data after get your phone.

The recent update finally allow users to assign any apps to button accessibility shortcuts, and fix my issue where magic portal not appearing in sidebar.
About to make the purchase. This will be my first foldable but my real concern is the camera bulge. Is it easyly scratched? Or damaged? And will it be top heavy? How is the distribution of the weight? Comfortable to hold for long?
Have been going to the shop a number of time but still cannot get answer to these. Appreciate answer from owner

i believe that the camera glass is not easy to scratch and damage, unless you rough the phone up. that way any sort of protection will fail.
due to camera bulge, the top is heavy. but still the phone is light on hand.
i have no problem holding it for a long time, folded or unfolded. experience may vary.
i suggest you got to honor shop to feel it yourself. dont just blindly buy, later will regret.

Thank you for the input. Yes I had tried the phone in the shop a number of time but not sure if I hold them a long time like when playing games or reading it will affect the feel.
Based on the reviews just want to know whether the AI on photos is really bad? From the photos I took in the shop seem to be fine. What about lowlight photo? And do sound light when recording video?

this phone is definitely not for gaming, although you may want to try since it has sd 8 elite. i personally dont game on phone unless i needed to, probably gonna try mlbb due to its screen size. for media consumption, reading is fine.
keep in note that some apps on display might be too large when unfolded, you just need to get to used to that.
onto camera. for the AI thingy, you can turn it off in camera settings. turning on the motion sensing in auto mode will turn on the AI temporarily back to capture movements (AI need to read movement in motion) camera auto mode has 3 filters in it (natural, vibrant, authentic) you can choose whichever to suit your photographic style.
for low light photo, camera have night mode, so no worries. also theres a pro mode as well, so you can tinker the settings through.
by the way dont believe photos snapped at the shop, the environment is well lit to trick you that the photos are good.
i dont understand the part "do sound light" question
anyway go try the phone again, play around its settings and try to hold the phone according to your preferences.
i own a lot of android and iphone before, and this is my 1st foldable and i do not regret one bit of purchasing it.
you can refer the review by mrmobile as well

Sorry most probably auto-correct again. there are report that for recorded video the sound lag, meaning that in the video the recorded sound will lag during playback.

None of that appeared in my video recording, all work just fine.
I uploaded some of my recorded video during the 1st month using the phone.
Hi, looking for advice from you guys, and also see if you encountered the same issue.
My v5 will not have Internet connection after being left overnight. Every morning when I wake up and use the phone, it is as though all connection become "timeout". WiFi and telco signal are still in full bar. I tried switching sim 1 and sim 2, airplane mode, on and off WiFi, nothing works. The phone still has no Internet connection. The only way to "fix" this is to restart the phone. This happens every day and it really annoys me. It has been like this since a month ago. I bought the phone since launch.
First time using honor phone, first time encounter this issue. With this, I kinda regretted choosing v5 over Fold 7.
Appreciate if you guys can suggest how to fix this.

Faster walk in to honor service centre, here can give you suggestions only not solutions. Honor service centre very good service. They will fix for you
For y'all using the V5 now as a daily driver, what are your thoughts on it after using it long term? Any major gripes/downsides that needs to be highlighted? Planning on getting this but budget is quite restricting, so still cosnidering whether to buy this under telco plan or just buy a used Oppo Find N3 Fold for cheap.

My only gripe is with the camera. Dont like the oversoftening effect especially when taking picture of people.
Minor complaint; 1. both gboard and swift keyboard have high latency. Up to the point some keystrokes are not registered when typing fast. 2. Built in photo/doc editor feature/function can be better
Other than that, fast charging and long lasting battery are really convenient. Solid feel in hands. Software and UI are good enough though not as matured as One UI, multitasking has been a breeze after few bugs been ironed out thru software update, cellular signal is great.
