Honor Magic V2 goes on trial | Android foldable phones have matured since last year. On the basis of “folding”, more designs have begun to develop, and the appearance has also become lighter and thinner. It is foreseeable that it will be launched in 2024. Not only are there more foldable machines, but their mobility and functionality are bound to be greatly improved.

As the first folding phone in 2024, Honor released a new generation of Magic V2, its folding phone, in Hong Kong today. “Hong Kong 01” Technology Toy Chronicle took the lead in testing the actual Honor Magic V2 before the Hong Kong conference. It is found that in addition to continuing to show its advantages in price, its functions, materials, and design have many different improvements compared to the previous generation Magic Vs.
Getting started with Honor Magic V2: the ultra-lightweight and slim folding phone of choice
When it was released, Honor Magic V2 already claimed to be the “world’s thinnest foldable phone”. After unboxing, you can already feel the obvious difference. In the folded state, the body of Magic V2 is only 9.9mm thick, and the outer screen size reaches 6.43″ , coupled with the new leather textured back of this generation, the hand feel is almost the same as that of a non-folding flagship smartphone (generally 8-9mm thick).

In the unfolded state, Honor Magic V2 deserves to be described as “stunning”. The actual thinnest part of its body is only 4.8mm. Coupled with the new titanium material Luban hinge used in this generation, the Magic V2 itself is The weight is only 237g, and the weight is more evenly distributed following opening. It is an extremely slim 7.92″ large-screen tablet when you start using it. It obviously does not feel cumbersome like the previous generation.
Competing with the Galaxy Z Fold 5, the current leader in large foldable phones on the market, the Honor Magic V2 has much better mobility whether it is folded or unfolded.
Internal and external screens specialize in “eye protection”
The inner and outer screens of Honor Magic V2 are made of LTPO OLED material. The update rate is 120Hz, which is common in the market. The color performance is of course at the high level of flagship specifications.

However, the biggest selling point this time is that both screens support 3840Hz PWM dimming, which reduces the screen flicker caused by the surrounding brightness, thereby reducing the burden on the eyes when viewing the OLED screen. The difference between this function and the OLED screen is in low-light environments. The practicality is particularly obvious when looking at the screen for a long time without causing the fatigue feeling in the past – but of course, to truly protect your eyes, the best way is to avoid looking at your phone in low-light environments.
Damang software package
The processing chip used by Honor Magic V2 is Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2. Although it is not the top choice in 2024, even in the next year, the computing power of this processor will still be second to none in the market and can handle most Android applications. Game, its functions will not be repeated here.

As a foldable phone with a large screen, Honor has retained the software package of the previous generation on the Magic V2, allowing users to take full advantage of the large screen, such as one-click split screen, multiple apps on one screen, etc. In split screen Users can also move content from one App to another App, making it a must-have for multitaskers.
More flexible shooting functions
The shooting system of Magic V2 has made a lot of progress compared to the previous generation Magic Vs. Its main lens is 50 million pixels and has OIS optical anti-shock, which is very effective in daily captures????????????

In addition, the telephoto lens is 20 million pixels and also has OIS, but the optical zoom factor is only 2.5x. With the algorithm, it can reach 40x zoom, but in terms of usable quality, around 10x is already a bit reluctant. ????????????
However, it is worth mentioning that the new version of the titanium Luban hinge of Honor Magic V2 has a hover function in the design, which can be folded at more angles. Therefore, when shooting, the Magic V2 can be placed on the table for more different The composition is a major improvement compared to the previous generation Magic Vs.

The Hong Kong version of Honor Magic V2 is priced at HK$10,999, and will be available for pre-order from January 11 to 18, 2024, and will be officially released on January 19.
