EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of battery, charging and imaging performance) Apple's first foldable phone is an impressive feat of hardware engineering and a very competitive entry into the segment. It should have great performance, above average endurance (for a foldable) and solid imaging despite compromises on tele and selfie hardware. Arriving later then other announced products. Its name could indicate lack of commitment to annual upgrades.
PROs
excellent design & build, fast A20 Pro (2nm) chip with NVMe memory performance, ~42hr endurance from a (2 piece) 5400mAh "high-energy lithium-ion battery" with sub-60min 60W (25W wireless) charging, 460ppi (430 inner) 120Hz LTPO OLED screens with Dolby Vision (outer screen supports pen input), full IP68 protection (down to 6m!), excellent 48MP 26mm OIS PDAF main + 48MP 13mm PDAF ultrawide setup, 2 average selfie cameras (but you will use the main setup on a foldable), great video recording, basic multi-window feature in a mature and feature rich iOS with 6 years of updates, fast USB-C 3.2 with Display Port functionality, excellent for the first foldable, global availability
CONs
difficult one-hand use, big and 250g heavy for a pocket, ~1000nits (dim) screen, no tele lens, no expandable memory, no desktop replacement functionality (despite having Display Port), very expensive

EDITORIAL: The 3rd try at Honor fold phone gets us some great innovation and solutions. V 3 is a very competent foldable with a capable camera system, very bright external screen, stylus support and water immersion down to 2.5m. Battery has seen a minimal upgrade and it shows in phone's mediocre endurance.
PROs
very solid build, fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with UFS 4.0 performance, fast sub-50min 66W (even has 50W wireless) charging, 2 >400ppi LTPO AMOLED screens with Dolby Vision (external goes over 2000nits), IPX8 (no dust - only water immersion) protection, very good imaging from a 50MP 23mm main + 50MP 90mm periscope telephoto (both OIS PDAF) + 40MP 16mm AF ultrawide setup, 2 20MP 21mm selfies, reliable video recording, looking OS update promise, desktop replacement functionality, fast USB-C 3.1 with Display Port 1.2 and OTG and stylus support
CONs
6mm wider then Z Fold, 230g heavy, mediocre 24hr endurance from a 5150mAh battery, no dust IP protection, no expandable storage, desktop replacement functionality can be improved, stereo speakers could be louder, limited market availability
