The Honor Magic V2 is a foldable smartphone that is known for its exceptional thinness and lightness. Here are some details about the product:
Positive features:
- The thinnest vegan leather version of the Honor Magic V2 foldable is just 9.9mm thick when folded and weighs 231 grams.
- Both of the Honor Magic V2’s screens have a refresh rate of 120Hz. The external screen is 6.43 inches in size, with a 20:9 aspect ratio, 2376 x 1060 resolution, and an impressive claimed peak brightness of 2,500 nits. The internal folding display is 7.92 inches large with an almost square resolution of 2344 x 2156 and a peak brightness of 1,600 nits.
- The Magic V2 comes with all the latest features expected of a premium phone. It has a triple lens camera, sports Qualcomms latest mobile chipset, and has storage options that go up to 1 terabyte. When the phone is unfolded, users can enjoy a 7.92-inch screen.
Negative features:
- The glass-backed version of the Magic V2 is slightly thicker and heavier than the “Silk Black” vegan leather variant, at 10.1mm and 237g.
- The software is extremely preproduction, so it is not possible to comment on the software or camera experience.
- The phone has been on sale in China since July 2023, where it costs 8,999 RMB, which is roughly $1,250. Prices rarely translate 1:1 across markets, though, and we expect the phone to be more closely positioned to the Google Pixel Fold and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 when it comes to the West.
Materials:
- The thinnest vegan leather version of the Honor Magic V2 foldable is made of vegan leather.
- A “proprietary steel” makes up 67 percent of the material in the hinge, and this material is 25 percent thinner and 20 percent stronger than what the company used in the Magic VS. A redesigned support structure on the hinge reduces thickness by a claimed 75 percent.
- The device uses a silicon-carbon battery, which can offer greater energy density, meaning more milliamp-hours in less space.
