[HONOR MAGIC V5 REVIEW]

Another year, another envelope-pushing phone you can’t buy in the US.

… But this time is a little different.

For one thing, Samsung finally brought an outstanding foldable to the States in the form of the Galaxy Fold7 – so my grapes were a little less sour during the three weeks I’ve spent with the Honor Magic V5. And for another, the builder of this bronze beauty has finally mated its exceptional hardware with a software stack I don’t hate … and a camera I never want to put down.
I’m Michael Fisher and I've spent the last three weeks with the Honor Magic V5. Join me for the MrMobile review, alongside David Cogen of TheUnlockr!
