Lightweight and ultra-slim, measuring a total of less than 1cm
In pursuit of best-in-class portability, HONOR has meticulously refined the product structure, manufacturing process, and material selection for its latest flagship smartphone. Weighing only 231g and measuring 9.9mm in thickness when folded, the HONOR Magic V2 pushes the boundaries of innovation when it comes to foldables. The HONOR Magic V2 features a first-of-its-kind Super-light & extra hard Titanium Hinge, which provides the perfect balance between weight and strength. HONOR’s SGS-certified proprietary steel has been expertly created for use in the hinge’s main body of the HONOR Magic V2, providing added robustness and durability to the hinge mechanism. Thanks to these breakthrough innovations, the HONOR Magic V2 earned the coveted durability certification from SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance) ensuring the hinge to withstand up to 400,000 folds, which gives it a minimum lifespan of ten years when folding the device 100 times a day!
Breakthrough Silicon-carbon Battery Technology for Extended Performance
The HONOR Magic V2 debuts with the thinnest dual Silicon-carbon Batteries with an average thickness of only 2.72mm. The innovative battery features HONOR’s revolutionary low-voltage charge energy-gathering technology for greater power output at the same voltage compared to graphite-based battery systems. With a battery capacity of 5000mAh and supporting 66W HONOR SuperCharge, the HONOR Magic V2 ensures users stay connected without constant recharging.
HONOR’s Signature Human-Centric Technology for Display
The HONOR Magic V2 features a breathtaking foldable OLED LTPO display, offering an immersive user experience with support for 1.07 billion colours and exceptional colour accuracy. HONOR’s industry-leading 3840Hz PWM Dimming technology minimizes eye strain, ensuring comfortable viewing even during extended use.
Incorporating human-centric innovation, the HONOR Magic V2 features Dynamic Dimming, which mimics natural light rhythm, stimulating ciliary muscle movement and reducing eye fatigue. The display’s brightness level adapts automatically to external lighting conditions and screen time duration, ensuring optimal comfort for the human eye.
Additionally, the Circadian Night Display adjusts the screen to warmer colours and reduces colours known to be significant circadian stimuli. This feature is tested to increase melatonin levels, promoting longer and better sleep quality for users.
Upgraded Camera Capabilities for Photographic Excellence
The HONOR Magic V2 features a remarkable total of 5 cameras split between a triple rear camera setup and a dual front-facing camera setup, one on each display.
The rear cameras include a 50MP Main Camera (f/1.9), a 50MP Ultra-Wide Camera (f/2.0), and a 20MP Telephoto Camera (f/2.4). The dual front-facing camera setup features two 16MP Cameras (f/2.2) and supports various capture modes, allowing creators to discover new styles of creating content.
