This cutting-edge flagship foldable smartphone is set to become the world’s thinnest and lightest book-style foldable smartphone upon its release. The launch represents a bold move by HONOR, poised to redefine industry standards with significant enhancements in form factor, battery, display, and user experience.
“We are excited to introduce the HONOR Magic V2 to users in the UAE, we believe it will achieve significant success by exceeding consumers’ expectations across the region, especially with existing users of foldable devices.” Said Mr. Mafeijian (Mr. House), CEO of HONOR GCC. “With a folded design externally resembling the look and feel of traditional smartphones, the HONOR Magic V2 signifies our commitment to making foldables more practical and accessible. This masterpiece presents next-generation versatility, enabling consumers to adopt the latest in smartphone technology seamlessly.”
For the UAE launch of the HONOR Magic V2, HONOR partnered with esteemed Emirati artist Mattar Bin Lahej to create an artistic Arabic calligraphy design, inspired by the device’s futuristic and sleek design. In a quest for top-tier portability, HONOR has meticulously refined the product structure, manufacturing process, and material selection for this latest flagship smartphone. Weighing only 231g and measuring 9.9mm in thickness when folded, the HONOR Magic V2 pushes the envelope of innovation in the realm of foldables.
The HONOR Magic V2 boasts a unique Super-light and extra hard Titanium Hinge, striking the perfect balance between weight and strength. HONOR’s SGS-certified proprietary steel has been expertly crafted for use in the hinge’s main body of the HONOR Magic V2, adding robustness and durability to the hinge mechanism. Thanks to these groundbreaking innovations, the HONOR Magic V2 has earned the coveted durability certification from SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance), ensuring the hinge can withstand up to 400,000 folds, equating to a minimum lifespan of ten years when folding the device 100 times a day.
The HONOR Magic V2 makes its debut 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 the need for constant recharging.
The HONOR Magic V2 features a stunning 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.
In addition, 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. The HONOR Magic V2 features a 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. The HONOR Magic V2 is based on Android 13 supercharged by HONOR’s Magic OS 7.2, 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, which runs an independent virtual instance of the device simultaneously, allowing users to easily separate work apps from personal apps with a single gesture.
The HONOR Magic V2 will be available in a range of elegant colours: Black, Purple, and a special version in Black with a vegan leather back. HONOR Magic V2 is available now for pre-order in the UAE for a price of AED 6899.
