Moved over from the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. In terms of battery life it's similar performance however that rear screen is game changing for photos and videos. Phone arrived in less than 4 days after placing the order!
Found this on youtube they make videos so thought ill buy it from them as a way to support the content and sure enough phone arrived as promised in 4 days after placing the order (they said it would have been quicker but there was a weekend in the middle).
I'm switching this as my main device from my iphone 15pro max. So far the device has been solid however must mention notifications is a absolute overcomplicated mess.
So I was looking at a new phone spoke to him on reddit awesome person to deal with we had a long chat about what's the best phone in my budget really appreciate it! I was also quite used to call recording and mo stated Chinese version devices have true call recording so decided to go with the Chinese version of this phone instead of the global.
The benefit was obviously I saved quite a bit over the global version. So far been a few weeks the phone has been solid with awesome battery life no complains and have used previous Oppos.
Love this device dealing with mo from instagram was a breeze easy going dude. Thanks a ton got the phone in around 3 days no hassles impressed, will order my next device in a few years from here too. Cheers.
The phone takes absolutely beast shots, software could be better! Battery life is also great and charging speeds are epic.
So I was close pulling the trigger with Wonda Reddits recommended suggestion. Mo is on reddit so had a conversation he was great in helping me and general conversations about phones so decided I would buy from here instead. Had no issues with delivery the device took around 3 days to get to me all good. I'm probably going to pick up the camera accessory shortly too. now thats out of the way lets talk about the device shall we!
So I've only had the device for a few hours now and my god this device takes it to another level with that beast of a camera, the rest seems fine just a bit weird that the phone even after deleting most of the chinese stuff still has a few system messages that are not in english but otherwise its been all good.
I was introduced to foldable phones within the past two weeks, and I checked out the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and I fell in love with foldable phones. I started to look up the z fold 7 on YouTube and Tiktok and then I came across a Tiktok comparing the z fold 7 to Honor Magic v5 and I was amazed on how there was a better foldable phone than fold 7 by miles.
After watching intense YouTube videos about the magic v5 and also giving attention to the disadvantages to make sure I do not regret making such a purchase.
I started to read more reviews on magic v5 through Reddit and that's where I came to know about Mobilemarvel. I was excited to find a buyer who ships to U.S
I contacted Mo through IG and he was super helpful to chat to me about anything I asked about the magic v5 and I really liked his fast response. We talked about the Honor Magic v5 and his Pros and Cons and why he thought it was the best foldable phone out there.
After chatting with Mo, it really made me happier before I made the purchase because it's an expensive phone and I wanted to have all the facts to support my decision.
So far, the phone is absolutely perfect for my liking, I was flabergasted on how good the camera is on a foldable phone and the results are breathtaking. Before Magic v5, I had an iphone 11 and i got about 2 hours of battery life and I understand that its an older model. Switching to magic v5, the difference was huge and the 5820 mAh battery that comes with magic v5 was really a game changer.
Below are some pictures I shot on Honor Magic v5 and these are pre-settings so I haven't even got to tweak some settings and it's already exceeding my expectations.
picked up the oppo find n5 after watching his views on the device. I completely agree and since having this device I've returned my fold 7. The battery life is way way better than the fold. I was struggling through the day. Also I quite like the open canvas feature for the 3 apps it works great. Pretty Happy so far.
In terms of the store was quite apprehensive to pick up a imported device but mo did a good job to sell it to me haha. The device locally was also available in certain stores but was costing a good €250 more than buying it from Hongkong.
So I picked up a Z fold 7 (second foldable had a opo earlier sadly they didn't launch a second one in Canada) the battery life was terrible was getting around 4 hours of on-screen time which is just pathetic from Samsung.
Decided it was time to import a device considered the Oppo find N5 however it didn't have the snapdragon elite chip so decided to go with the honor magic v5 and what a sick decision that was, the phone is a battery life champ.
Now in terms of the store mo was easy to deal with I had a lot of questions to ask as I've never imported a device had no issues with custom duties the device took around 4 days after shipping which is great. Thanks mo! for the hassle free experience.
Ordered this device took just 3 days to get to me was walked through the process never ordered a phone online before was a bit nervous. What a great decision though had the fold 7 for a few weeks and this phone is infinitely better in most ways except software seems more refined on the Samsung
So picked up a pura 80 ultra last week and spoke to mo why I should get the global instead of chinese version. Quite happy with the phone that shutter sound when the optical zoom shifts is magical. In terms of the store and buying experience was good and the phone was delivered in 4 days after placing my order. Will write a more indepth review later once I've had a few weeks with the device. cheers.
First need to point this out, Mo is awesome to talk to and deal with had a lot of issues with the other stores in asking a bunch of questions as this is the most expensive device I have ever picked up, so it's reasonable to have a bunch of questions and mo was great.
Originally I was considering a mate XTs but Mo suggested for us global users the mate xt might still be the better buy I agreed. I originally purchased a red version and the store was great in helping me change it to a black instead Thanks.
Now the device what can I really say it feels like I'm living in 2030s or something it's great I knew coming into it this cannot be my only device but for me besides durability everything works. The cameras are also really good and didn't know it has a 5.5x optical zoom and they don't jut out as much as some of the other devices I have. Watching content on this screen is a different feeling in many ways it feels better than my ipad as the device is a lot smaller in the hand.
Ordered the device took around 5 days to reach me standard delivery good stuff!
The phone is cool I went with the Chinese version as its quite a bit cheaper then the global variant. Couldn't be happier with the results, it's super light, great cameras (btw I spoke to Mo and asked him his opinion he said if cameras a key concern this will be the best foldable option and i agree). Only negative I see is the fast charging needs me to use the charger thats come in the box and that at certain times some things are still in Chinese (but I was warned about this on reddit - Chinese rom devices).
I haven't used android in 11 years, Mo recommended this model to me on Reddit. Was skeptical because I saw some cool foldable phones but then Mo explained everything about the Vivo and Honor and in the end he recommended this model, I have been using it for a few days now and it is honestly awesome. I love this phone. I cant believe I was stuck on my iPhone for so long. Great guy. 100% Recommend buying it from him because the customer service is unlike any other phone shop.
I picked up the z fold 7 but the battery life just wasn't working for me so I thought let me pick up the honor magic v5 from here. I was quite skeptical at first as it's a massive purchase and hadn't heard much about them on reddit. Turns out one of the guys that runs the store was pretty active in the community so just sent him a DM and we had a great chat he answered all my questions and worries so I was satisfied. He suggested the white as it's slightly slimmer? Paid for express shipping had it in hand about 3 days after placing my order faster than some local deliveries.
Now let's talk about the device a lot nicer to hold in the hand great fun with the animation stuff and that battery I finally have a foldable that doesn't need a post lunch gym session charge at my desk. Looking to pick up a pen for it now.
Harmony os next maybe the future away from google? wanted to try it out. The OS is very smooth however android apps only work in these weird containers and cannot be placed outside so that's very annoying.
In terms of shipping and dealing with mo was great, I previously have ordered not long ago another device. He personally suggested the global version and maybe that was a better choice now in hindsight.
Had a conversation with mo regarding both the vivo x fold 5 and honor magic v5. He suggested the honor as I had previous experience using a honor phone a few years ago he said it might be easier transition for me and also said in his view it's a better device. I was bit nervous ordering from a new store but all good paid for standard shipping got it in around 6 days after placing my order.
The phone has been incredible. Nothing to complain about.
wasnt sure about ordering a new store but had a great conversation with the team before placing the order and the rider fulfilled straight away, great comms and the was not only great but in perfect condition! Great job guys!
I was very skeptical about purchasing a phone outside the US, this was my first time and the previous company I tried to order my phone with didn't help. I found themobilemarvel by watching his YouTube video. Customer service was top notch. Answered every question I asked honestly. Very competitive prices. Phone was delivered in a week without paying priority shipping. I love my Magic V5. I would highly recommend this company.
Bought the device a few weeks ago Used from mobile marvel so far great fun this is a second device of sorts not a primary device so no issues with some compatibility stuff.
Great time dealing with mo from the store. It was a huge purchase so I did have conversation over WhatsApp before commiting with them. I also asked for a video of the device as it was used they were happy to help.
Disappointing thing is the device doesn't have 5g where I am but otherwise it's a stunning device. The only option like it.
Just received it unboxed and ready to go had a slight delay in receiving it from the original date but this was communicated to me I was offered a color change if I wanted immediate shipment to me made but wanted to green so was happy to wait the delay was around 2 extra days to ship.
Super thin light I'm coming from pixel 9 pro and it feels like 2-3 generations ahead.
Also like the vivo atomic workbench game changer and makes it feel more like a desktop multitasking which is cool.
Had some confusion regarding the different versions (collectors/standard) got on Whatsapp spoke to the customer support and great interaction placed the order.
Got my device 2 days early.
The device itself is kind of difficult to use because it lacks 5g bands and also the software doesn't work my food delivery app not sure why not but there's little information regarding it online.
However, need another company to come out with this aspect ratio it's the best out there.
