phone is great on hand, just need to get to use phone when its not in fold position

light and compact (folded) compared to my previous phone

UI is pretty much like IOS but with customization

banking apps working just fine

camera not yet fully tested, but I believe its on par with other flagship phone out there

my only gripe is magic os 9 doesnt provide any equalizer/enhancement on sound except when its paired with headphone/earset

not even a dolby/atmos whatsoever lol, for now i just live with wavelet

Any notable bugs after updating to Magic OS 9?

Portrait shots still have excessive AI processing?

So hows everyone's v5 experience? Is it as expected or you feeling unsatisfied with the phone?

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 saying—the good and the bad—about 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.

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.
