Portability and Design Unite

The 9.9mm thickness gives the folding screen the portability of a flat-panel machine.  Honor Magic V2 series innovatively customizes various parts for lightness and thinness, reconstructing the architecture, materials, devices, modules, and more.

Durability Meets Advanced Technology

While slimming down the device, it maintains high standards for the product’s sturdiness and durability. The Honor Magic V2 series is the world’s first mobile phone to pass the Swiss SGS high-reliability folding quality gold standard certification.

Folding-screen mobile phones have traditionally been a bit bulky, which has deterred some consumers from purchasing them. However, it has shattered this norm with its innovative design. It has managed to slim down the folded thickness to just 9.9mm and the unfolded thickness to a mere 4.7mm. What’s more, it only weighs 231g, making it as portable as a flat-panel phone.

Honor Magic V2 is a result of extensive innovation and customization across various aspects.

• Architecture
• Materials
• Devices
• Modules
• More…

The goal was to achieve maximum lightness and thinness without compromising performance.

Architecture

The hinge components, a key element in any folding screen, have been given special attention. The new generation Luban Titanium Gold Hinge is made from self-developed shield steel material. It can withstand pressures up to 1800MPa (megapascal) and has a hardness of 550HV. For the first time, the shaft cover part of the hinge uses a titanium alloy 3D printing process.

This reduces the width by 27% compared to aluminum alloy material, but boosts the strength by 150%, striking a perfect balance between lightness and reliability.

Modules

To further ensure the product’s lightness, Honor Magic V2 features a new customized 0.22mm ultra-thin heat dissipation VC, Type-C interface module, and fingerprint recognition module. These components help to condense the internal space, allowing Honor Magic V2 to achieve an industry breakthrough in product lightness and thinness. This meets consumers’ demand for large screens while still maintaining the balance of portable mobile terminals.

Durability

Even while focusing on creating a thinner and lighter phone, Honor Magic V2 did not compromise on durability. In fact, it’s the first mobile phone in the world to pass the Swiss SGS high-reliability folding quality gold standard certification. This means it can withstand up to 400,000 folding durability tests. Even after being folded 200,000 times, the screen folding mark only changes by 36μm — that’s half the diameter of a human hair!

Materials

Moreover, the Honor Magic V2 series has an external screen made of second-generation nano-microcrystalline glass. This material is even more resilient than its predecessor, improving drop resistance performance by 30%. So, despite its slim and lightweight design, it remains sturdy and durable.

Honor Magic V2 Extended Battery Life for Uninterrupted Use

Despite its slim body, the Honor Magic V2 series features a new generation of Qinghai Lake dual battery. With an average thickness of just 2.72mm, it manages to achieve a large capacity of up to 5000mAh in the slim space of this folding flagship.

Dual-screen LTPO technology

What’s more Magic V2 employs dual-screen LTPO technology to reduce power usage during activities like reading and watching videos. This helps to extend the battery life significantly. On the software side, it features a smart battery management system that adjusts the screen refresh rate and SoC scheduling plan based on the user’s habits.

By integrating both hardware and software solutions, Honor Magic V2 offers up to 14.1 hours of video playback, 24 hours of reading, and 13.8 hours of navigation on its large screen. This means you can use the large screen all day without worrying about battery life. It effectively addresses the common concern about battery performance in foldable screen phones.

High-Quality Display with Eye Protection

The Honor Magic V2 series places equal importance on the specifications and quality of both the internal and external screens. Both screens support 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, leading to a comprehensive evolution of the screen.

Both the internal and external screens of Honor Magic V2 support 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. This is a first for foldable screens, surpassing the “low-risk area of flicker” (higher than 1.25KHz) as per IEEE standards and entering the “flicker safety zone” (higher than 3.125KHz). The high dimming frequency reduces display flicker at low brightness levels, thus reducing eye strain. Furthermore, Honor Magic V2 has passed the German Rheinland TÜV non-flicker certification, achieving zero-risk dimming for eye protection.

Innovative Dynamic Light Eye Protection Technology

Addressing user needs and concerns, Honor Magic V2 introduces the industry’s first “dynamic light eye protection technology.” This technology, based on human eye physiology, replaces constant brightness with an optimized rhythmic light curve. This simulates the eye state in natural scenes, relieving ciliary muscle tension from prolonged eye use and reducing eye fatigue. Its patented sleep display function also helps users sleep more comfortably, affirming Honor’s leading position in the screen health display.

Bright and Clear Display

The external screen of Honor Magic V2 offers a peak brightness of 2500nit, and the internal screen provides a peak brightness of 1600nit. This ensures easy screen visibility even outdoors. The device supports a super dynamic Zhencai display, accurately reproducing HDR pictures and videos.

Immersive Viewing Experience

Both the 6.43-inch external screen and the 7.92-inch internal screen achieve a screen-to-body ratio of over 90%, providing an immersive borderless display. This results in a comfortable and natural viewing experience.
