HONOR Unveils the HONOR Magic V2 in China

The thinnest and lightest book-style foldable smartphones to date lead the category to mainstream

[Beijing, China – July 12, 2023] – Global technology brand HONOR today announced its next-generation flagship foldable smartphone the HONOR Magic V2 in China. Engineered to spur mainstream adoption, the HONOR Magic V2 is the thinnest and lightest book-style foldable smartphone to date, redefining industry benchmarks with significant improvements across form factor, battery, display and user experience aspects.

“We are thrilled to introduce the HONOR Magic V2, which achieves a new level of sophistication with thin and lightweight packages that were previously thought impossible,” said George Zhao, CEO of HONOR Device Co, Ltd. “With folded form factors closely resembling those of slate smartphones, the HONOR Magic V2 offers truly next-generation versatility that will let consumers embrace the best of smartphone technology today.”

Ultra-Slim, Lightweight Designs Measured in Mere Millimeters

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 231g¹ and measuring 9.9mm² in thickness when folded, the HONOR Magic V2 pushes the boundaries of innovation for foldable devices.

The HONOR Magic V2 features a first-of-its-kind Super-light Titanium Hinge, which provides the perfect balance between weight and strength. Complementing that, a new SGS-certified HONOR’s 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 earns the coveted durability certification from SGS, a global authority, by enabling the hinge to withstand more than 400,000 folds, ensuring a lifespan of up to ten years for folding 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 battery capacity of 5000mAh³ 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 colors and exceptional color accuracy. HONOR’s industry-leading 3840Hz PWM Dimming technology⁴ 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 colors and reduces colors 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 sets a new standard in smartphone photography and videography, featuring a triple rear camera setup that includes 50MP Main Camera (f/1.9), a 50MP Ultra-Wide Camera (f/2.0), and a 20MP Telephoto Camera (f/2.4), allowing users to produce decent photos with its superior light sensing capabilities. The front-facing dual camera setup features two 16MP Cameras (f/2.2) and supports various capture modes for creators to capture and produce content effortlessly.

Experience a Smooth and Secure Operating System

The HONOR Magic V2 is powered by MagicOS 7.2 based on Android 13, delivering a smooth and feature-rich user experience tailored to various usage scenarios, including social interactions, lifestyle, entertainment, information, office, and travel. To protect user privacy and security, a new parallel space feature is also making a debut with HONOR Magic V2 for users to easily separate work apps from personal apps.
