HONOR has announced the debut of its next generation foldable flagship smartphone, the HONOR Magic Vs, pushing industry benchmarks in design, display, performance, and user experience, making it the ideal companion for business and entertainment.
“The HONOR Magic Vs will be our very first foldable flagship to debut in overseas markets and we are confident that it will deliver huge advancement, transforming how people all around the world use their smartphone,” said George Zhao, CEO of HONOR Device Co, Ltd.
HONOR Magic Vs – An Industry-Leading Foldable with a Revolutionary Hinge Design
The HONOR Magic Vs is proud to be the industry’s lightest foldable smartphone at the time of its debut, due to its 261g weight when folded. With a 5000mAh battery, the HONOR Magic Vs has the biggest battery in the same class of existing foldable smartphones for all-day use. A 12.9mm thin delivers a symmetrical and seamless design, making it a lightweight and small foldable gadget that is easy to carry while yet offering a luxury sense to its user.
The HONOR Magic Vs has a super-light gearless hinge meticulously built with a single-piece casting processing technology, which substantially decreases the amount of supporting structural components utilised in the hinge from 92 to 4, while retaining its durability and sturdiness. Built with aerospace-grade materials, the HONOR Magic Vs hinge can survive over 400,000 folds, which equates to more than ten years of use at 100 folds per day, setting a new standard in foldable smartphone design.
Large Dual Display for a Superior Viewing Experience
When folded, the HONOR Magic Vs features a 6.45-inch display with a user-friendly 21:9 aspect ratio and a 90% screen-to-body ratio, providing content watchers with a fun and enjoyable experience on an extra-wide 7.9-inch internal display. HONOR Magic Vs is also supported with a 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut, offering up to 1.07 billion colours and a screen refresh rate of up to 120Hz.
The phone also includes a brand-new function called the Circadian Night Display, which successfully reduces the harmful impacts of blue light and assists users in improving their sleep quality as well as feeling more energised and productive throughout the day. Both displays of the HONOR Magic Vs include 1920Hz PWM Dimming technology, which reduces screen flickering and ensures a comfortable viewing experience even in low-light conditions.
Enhanced Audio Experience and Computational Photography
The HONOR Magic Vs is a triple-camera system that includes a 54MP IMX800 Main Camera, a 50MP Ultra-Wide & Macro Camera, and an 8MP 3X Optical Zoom Camera, allowing users to shoot fascinating photos in breathtaking clarity and providing an exceptional photography and videography experience. The finest trick is HONOR Image Engine, which provides best-in-class computational photography skills while delivering high-quality photographs in all conditions.
The Performance Within
The Qualcomm® Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform abundantly powers the HONOR Magic Vs, promoting power efficiency with increased GPU and CPU performance. A 66W Wired HONOR SuperCharge allows the battery to be completely charged up to 100% in 46 minutes.
Dual-TEE Security for Enhanced Safety
The HONOR Magic Vs comes with a Dual TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) Security System co-developed with Qualcomm which offers hardware-level protection to users, ensuring enhanced privacy and security. Running the latest MagicOS 7.0 based on Android 12, the HONOR Magic Vs packs a raft of enhanced smart features to aid multi-tasking, enhancing productivity to the maximum.
