FINE! - I'll build my own Folding Phone! (Worlds Thinnest)
My new folding phone just arrived... Do it yourself style. Check out the worlds thinnest book style folding phone, the Honor Magic V2 HERE: www.hihonor.com/global/phones... and huge thanks to honor for sponsoring this video. It's pretty mind blowing how thin and light a flagship folding phone can get! The Honor Magic V2 is just 9.9mm thick and weights only 231 grams! #HONORMagicV2 #IFA23 #HONORIFA2023 #UnfoldTomorrow

Honestly, one of your most creative videos. I'd love to see more companies supply you with parts to assemble and show off the engineering.
It's not about creativity, just the Chinese sweatshop worker wasn't available that day
@@brandonchutt312 lol
I think sending the phone disassembled was a clever way of Honor to advertise it here without passing the Durability Test. Fooled everyone apparently.
@@brandonchutt312 You want everyone to only buy Fairphone? That is the only phone company not using sweatshop workers.
yeahh hahaah@@ShuAbLe
A stroke of genius by Honor to send you the phone already disassembled! They probably figured you'd break it when testing it, and you would therefore not do a tear down of it, so they made you assemble it first and then break it!
I'm just surprised it came straight from Honor and not from Ifixit lol
My thoughts exactly. It was pretty awesome. My thoughts about Honor (complete disregard about their products) has drastically changed with this video. Kudos Thank you ❤
I just wrote exactly this as this was my first thought too.😂
@@lordseptomus441 this is how ifixit should sponsor phone reviews after this. just send em the parts and let the reviewers do the job rofl
Would it be fair for him to do a break/bend test with a few screws not in place? Or did they send him a few extra loose screws just to screw with us when it fails a bend test?
Who ever came up with the idea to send you a disassembled phone is genius and should get a nice bonus.
it's just a joke Jerry did it himslef
@@litan114 what you mean is a joke? the phone is for sale in china and rest of asia and you can but it dismantled!
It was probably a boomer who remembered how much fun at was to get kits( radio/cb/clocks etc) as gifts & put them together.
@@Bagnarolamaybe to bypass the trade embargo?
@@lydiabouza8511 probably, or maybe is just a cool idea to make more sellings
This is actually impressive. Both the fact that the folding phone is so thin and light, and the ease at which you assemble the latest flagship phone without instructions.
Imagine buying a phone and having to assemble it like ikea furniture!
This will blow up
imagine having an android 😂
Imagine if he actually reverse the video 😮
@@beaualoevvget a job lil bro
@@beaualoevv😂
Smart move by honor, letting us see the insides before a durability test which it may not have survived.
Definitely this phone will not survive because of its thin body.
shots fired lol
A durability test can be done, but he won't because Honor is his sponsor and the V2 won't survived 🤷
"Forewarned is forearmed." - Proverb
I forgive this one, it's very slim. A test with the phone folded would be nice though, as that's when damage could appear, like having the phone in the back pocket.
Was suffering with major anxiety tonight. Glad I came across this video, by the end I realised it had completely gone away. I was mesmerised by your skill, explanation and vocie. Please do more of these, you've gained a new subscriber.
You got this! Glad I could help.
Wow, what an honour to get a reply from someone with a load of subscribers. You've made my day.
Bend test?@@JerryRigEverything
Honestly this is the most creative way to advertise your phone’s repair ability. Kudos to Honor 👍🏽
Remember Jerry, if you have leftover screws, it just means you did a better job then the people that engineered the phone 😄

@mrcapeguy only reason you aren't working in a Chinese sweatshop with no rights and making .90 cents a hour is because of striking. Please try not to put your foot in your mouth to defend billion dollar companies 😂
Honestly love the idea of buying a phone and assembling it yourself. More companies should have this option with a kit to put your phone together at a slightly cheaper price since they won't have to assemble
Actually it's the reverse - they would have to disassemble already assembled phones. The same happens with the Framework laptops - they need to assemble them first to test if they work like they should (and if they even are assemblable in the first place, defects happen) and then if you chose the disassembled version then they have to disassemble them. There somewhere was LTTs video where he has shown the factory of Framework laptops where he also explains this process.
@@daruyami sorta kinda with traditional QC, but in factories like the one where the Raspberry Pis are made, they're automatically tested by a machine that plugs everything in
@@daruyami There are some edge cases where they may be able to salvage the internals from a unit with a busted case or a case from some bricked internals which can save money depending on the circumstance. You are right they almost always have to assemble even those units with salvaged parts first to ensure that the refurbished units built with them actually do work and can be assembled properly now.
@@daruyamiconsider: blaming the customer for false assembly if something doesn't fit!
@@daruyami but they still sell disassembled as cheaper though
I hope this leads to other companies to form a trend like this, to a point where advanced users can assemble phones, themselves, for years to come, absolutely genius, if you ask me!
As a nerd I would kill to be able to do that but warranty liability would like to have a word with us. Other than that, I would see this as an absolute win since production costs can be reduced by cutting out on assembly. However, this may counter-intuitively not always be the case. Framework for example, will sell you a diy kit for their laptop where you have to assemble it yourself (or at least populate the barebones parts like storage, ram and networking) but as the somewhat recent factory tour by ltt showed, they still need to assemble, and then in some cases even DISassemble the device in the factory for qa and test purposes, meaning that it actually is more time and resource-intensive to have such a diy offering. If you actually read all this I sincerely apologize for wasting your time but also thanks, you rock!
@@devnol I feel like warranty liability could work. If we can make desktops from parts that can cost thousands and get warranties, I think we can do so with some phone parts
Would be interesting if all smartphone companies would give Mr. Zack their new models like this where he would assemble them 😂
so that they can bypass bend test from his fingers 😅😅
@@johnlucas568he can just make the durability test video after the assembly, you know, the reverse of what he usually does. I think it is pretty cool to see the hardware still in one piece from the inside before actually abusing the hell out of it.
from breaking to building we have from a long way
And it'll turn out to be a no screwed phone
@@SergioEduP can't anybody be sarcastic in comments 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Whenever Zack has the chance to jab it to Apple he delivers it quite nicely 😅
IKR Yes it makes me happy 😄😎🙌
I’ll be the one guy in the minority to say: it’s getting a little played out. We get it. You don’t like Apple. Even though all these other big companies do the same 💩
@@jlarue6970 no they dont a lot of companies make good phones, except apple doesnt they are behind in features, hardware, software, pricing, etc.
@@sys-administrator samsung is good hardware, but bad software and they kinda got themselves stuck in it but google and some others like motorola and nothing are doing good
@@EvokerKingsamsung and bad software doesnt go hand in hand buddy, it's even better than pixel's software
It's actually genius. Instead of sending you pre-assembled phones that get destroyed during the tear down, sending you the unassembled parts to assemble them yourself serves the same purpose of the tear downs while still keeping the phone alive. Also as a bonus it's really satisfying to see all those tiny parts come together to make a working phone. Great video.
It's brilliant really
Thank you Zack for being who you are, the world needs more people like you. The most true guy on whole internet, fun, honest and realistic! We all enjoy your videos!
Genius marketing move from honour! Hope he will test the durability next 😎😎
Since It's so thin it would probably break pretty easily
@@MAFUDGcry
The bend test the wrong way it will definitely not survive.
@@LambdaMiscellaneouswhat
All these folding phones can all be broken with just a thumb nail I’ve sadly done it Samsung was only willing to charge me for a new screen full price too
Amazing work zack, please do more videos like this.
why is he called zack? i thought jerry!

Great video idea!
I always thought folding phones were and would stay a joke for the most part but this Magic v2 is kiiiinda beautiful ngl lol. Thoroughly impressed with how thin they've made it to be.
I dont know who came up with the idea for this video but im in awe of Honor actually following through on it! Just hope their iFixit score is as impressive as this suggests!
Once you get the adhesive on, I reckon it's no easier to repair than an average folding phone
5000mAh for batteries that thin is honestly ridiculous. Battery tech has come such a long way in just 30 years, I'm really excited for when solid state batteries hit the scene.
Not true. Battery tech didn't move at all compared to phones overall tech.
Battery tech is severely lacking behind current tech lmao are you drunk
@@mggt4684 bait
just give us carbon nanotube batteries that last for days 😢
We need nuclear powered battery.
I loved this type of video and I hope more manufacturers will send you phones in parts so you can assemble them yourself!
Great video as always Zack. Doing videos in this format makes much more sense. Assembling the phone and doing the durability test later. So, it doesn’t matter even if the phone won’t survive the durability test. I hope more companies do this.
This is the most excited I've been about a phone since folding phones initially hit the scene, this is awesome.
DIY definitely brings a new appreciation level to the tech, assembling and recognizing the numerous parts that brings (ideally) a working end result
Top video, great idea to start from the "end"
Spectacular video a real change to the format, very enjoyable thanks Jerry.
The only phone that avoids the durability test.... Smart manufacturers... Already came dismantled.. Awesome resurrection jerry🎉🎉🎉
I'm sure it's coming
@@amil89waiting
This was beautiful to watch Zach! Like everyone else is saying, we absolutely need more assembly videos
Amazing Jerry! Great job!
Ok, great idea for video, and well executed. Thank you for Honor 👏👏👏
I think I wouldnt mind more videos of you assembling phones like this ^^
I fully believe I can DIY anything as long as I have a YT tutorial. That being said, I’m going to break my phone and put it together again. Thanks Mr. RigsEverthing !
I did enjoy this video I actually listened n watched it all the way through so when your in need of a WORKER IM AVAILABLE FOR ANY AND ALL SHIFTS
Got my jre knife today. Real premium feel and it’s clear tech. Love it
If they sold it like this (and the parts individually to repair it when necessary), I'd be all over it, especially if they don't lock down the software.
Damn cool idea by Honor! Loved to see the result. I bet they sent a few extra screws just to get you confused.😂
This is fascinating! To the individuals who have been watching your durability and tear down cellphone videos for years, this should be a viable and marketable cellphone!!! Thanks, once again!!!
I've had my ZFold 4 since launch morning and I love it. I would highly recommend a folding phone as a daily phone. I'd always wanted one since the first model came out back in 2019 and finally got one in 2022. It still blows my mind and I'm not sure I'll ever go back to a traditional single-screen phone
I also own a z fold 4 and love it. But I would not recommend it for most people, it is a really cool and impressive piece of tech but 99% of people would not make any use of the hardware, and would only use it to show off and brag. There is no need for a device on the cutting edge just to mindlessly scroll on tiktok. That said I will probably never go back to single screen phones either.
@@SergioEduP precisely. 4 user also. I highly recommend it but only to people who are 100% sure it's what they want. The price is still up there for a concept that's still working itself out. I'd say we're almost there tho.
Right? I bought Z Flip 3 thinking I'd just try it and if it breaks, it breaks. Wouldn't you know it, damn thing is still going strong after few falls that ended up with scratched edges and daily use. They're much more resilient that they seem.
@tyrannosaurus_x I agree. I've dropped mine pretty good a few times and I haven't scratched either screen or outside and it functions perfectly fine. The 1 issue I had was the built-in screen protector on the inside screen that got airbubbles after 9 months and I removed it with no issues.
@@michaelerdmier1311Same here with screen protector on Z Flip 3. I eventually just removed thinking I'd get a new one eventually but seeing that it works fine and protector wasn't damaged until its removal, I can't be bothered xD
That's a cool skill Zack. I myself have that skill. Whenever I disassemble something the screws somehow procreates and upon reassembly I get more than what I disassembled 😉
😂😂😂😂…who doesn’t end up with more screws than necessary after a re-assembly? 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video, keen for more puzzle videos🎉😊
Oh yes this was a lot more interesting dive into details of this phone. Good job!
this is actually a big brain move by Honor, bc almost any foldable will fail ur durability test rn, doing a "unteardown" still showcases it without the bad parts
Zack is not slacking, uploading at 2am is quite the move, love the videos!
it’s 10am here
It is about 13:30 here in india
It's 11 and 26 minutes A.M. What are you talking about? /j
Think he's in Cali. It's currently 1:30 there so he uploaded it at 1 AM.
@@shamanllama Most likely he scheduled the upload.
Man, Adoro que estos videos tengan opciones de audio, puedo verme el video en el canal original sin perder un solo detalle. Es simplemente grandioso. Más canales deberían utilizar pistas de audio.
Very cool video. Nice job Zack and Honor
Damn this is so cool and creative, great job again Zack. Honor has some really intriguing devices that I wish we had in the US.
It is a possibility, since US government’s policies forced HUAWEI to let go Honor as a subsidiary. Now they are no longer affiliated. But hey, there aren’t a lot open-minded Murican politicians anyways. Chinese companies are now trying very hard to not launch anything in the US cuz they might get too successful and that will draw attention to the US government 😬
I wonder how the bend test will go. After seeing what happened to the Pixel Fold.
Imagine a chocolate chip cookie then bend it
That's fantastic! I love it.
“actually its 13 pro max but don’t act like you can tell the difference” got me
Cool video, love the idea ❤ But what about the durability test tho? 🤩 I gues we'd all like to see how the thinnest foldable behaves in your hands 🙌🏼
I second that
Jerry, you never seem to disappoint. Great job assembling that phone!
Most interesting video you posted in a while. By far, I mean I watch your content regularly, but imagine a foldable with flagship spec, but the cache is you have to assemble it yourself wow
Can’t wait to see the durability
Certainly going to be interesting to see how this one holds up in the durability test considering how thin it is.
I watch all your videos, it's relaxing
You're awesome. Keep up the great work.
I actually love this concept of buying a phone pre disassembled. Wish it were a option! It'd make it so much more fun for people like me when your new phone arrives. Just unboxing it and having a pre assembled unit is exiting, yes, because new phone, but it can be boring, missing a personal factor. I myself love to dig around in the guts of phones, and to be able to actually order one and build it yourself would honestly be the cherry on top the unboxing experience is lacking for me.
Zack really said, "Fine, I'll do it myself."
Great concept for a video, amazing that this impressive tech is also easy to put together on a work table.
Great vid! it's like an advanced tech puzzle putting it together
"We may not be perfect, but the safest hands are still our own"
They just showed how repairable it is without saying a word!
Man I enjoyed the Video and also the plugs asmr. Build More.,😎👊🏾😎
6:47 That wallpaper and its animation is gorgeous! 🤩
in Zack we trust
Now let's see if it can survive a durability test.
Well done Honor. And great video!
Cool creative idea!!! ❤❤❤
Plot twist: they didn't want him to damage and break the phone apart that's why they sent him the phone in parts...
Knowing Zach, that seems more likely
That sure would cut the price, if we had a DIY assembly phone. Thanks Jerry for all you do.
This was great, cant wait to see you durability test it!
this was such a cool video!! really creative way to showcase a new phone (:
next week he will test the durability🙃
Maybe he changes his assembly line & parts after rig Test 🤔😉
Imagine if they sold them like this to cut cost. Apple taking notes.
shipping cost and guarantee will be problem
@@andrikurniawan531Besides Apple can't afford to lose their premium brand. DYI is not premium, and will never be.
That's an amazing phone and I really love the assembly!
This is for some odd reason, really refreshing. Keep it up!
That's freaking awesome bro💯
Crazy idea by honor. Thanks zack
I'm always impress when the turn on, but this one just hits different.
The ending was awesome! LOL So true. Awesome job, Zack! And well done, Honor!
what a beautiful piece of tecnology.
Didn't expect your video at this time. Surprise upload, missed it today
I guess this was more of a reboxing than an unboxing but this was by far the coolest unboxing ever! Shoutout to HONOR for keeping things interesting!
Great job, You left screws oh, l usually lose a screw or to when l dismantle and reassemble.
That phone is an incredible engineering feat! It's awesome to have seen this in reverse too. Nice collab Zack!
Probably the most creative phone video from Zack in a long time! Should've finished the video with the bend test. I can't see that phone holding up like Samsung's... I love my Z Fold 4 and am intrigued by Honors design, but not sure about durability
Love your white esd mat!
Thats awesome. Instead of you having to break it first, you can inspect internals first, then build and test durability.
Primer 94 proably would have been a good idea on the areas of frame where adhesive will make contact. (ie back panel and screen rim)
That was brilliant. Well done them for supplying the phone like that and well done assembling. 5 screws left. They just sent you some spares………. Without saying. Great publicity. 😊
Friend has the v2. It’s an amazing piece of tech.
Love this! Now hear me out, might be a bit crazy, buttttt how about trying to build a modern sidekick? With same retro qwerty board and the icon swinging opening and ball scroll wheel.
Great video. It is very cool to see a phone that you can self-assemble. However, the lack of water resistance will prevent me from purchasing it. Additionally, I would consider the "Thickness" of the phone to include the cameras... since they substantially thicken both of the phones.
That was awesome to watch
Great video and it creates more curiosity than dis-assembling a phone. Great engineering from Honor. Would love to see them expand to other markets like India.
Untraditional, and just as fun to watch! Thumbs up for that.
Its so entertaining to watch this video
I already spotted the legendary Casio f91w watch on his left hand...mmmm this is my favourite watch also.....😊
