Software seems excellent. Using all the same apps on my Honor V2 that I was on the Z Fold 4 and they all work fine. Don't know what all the fuss is about! UI is excellent too.

Loving mine, so super thin and the Google apps and all other apps work fine. Makes the Samsung Fold 5 seem like a fat brother! lol

Fatties get love too you know.. lmao

Can you ship it over here so I could try it on T-Mobile and see how the bands work?
 
Im using it in Canada on Bell and Rogers, both work perfectly. Banking apps, Maps, Insta, etc etc all work perfectly.

Awesome, really interested in the Magic v2, how are you getting around the Chinese ROM, are you using GBox? or is there a way to get the Play Store on it?
 
Using GBox and downloaded all the usual apps and they all seem to work fine. The thinness of this phone is just amazing!

Nice - tempted to hang on for the global release, but then it'll be 200-300 bucks more!

I did read (on xda i think) that they're going to allow chinese owners to enable Google services at some point soon.

I don't see the point in waiting. You get pretty much everything through GBox on the Chinese ROM version anyway. Plus I think the global release will end up being closer to Q4 this year from what I hear.

By the time it launches in global markets people will be thinking about fold 6 and pixel fold 2 lol

I was checking on some bands with TMobile so might have some missing which might be a reason to wait on Global ...
 
The list of specs should probably include the mandatory Chinese Communist Party backdoor.

yeah my thoughts too. Then does it come with the Google Playstore? Will it get security updates every month? Updates to Android 14 or 15? There is a valid reason some of these brands do not make it to the US market. There are ton of IP and patent laws and some of these brands would be quickly sued.
 
Not at the moment, weirdly I was in /canada couple of weeks ago, could have bought one with me from the UK. Loving the size of mine.
