Honor Magic V2 first teaser
Now Honor has officially teased the first teaser for the upcoming foldable launch. The Magic V2 aims to redefine the foldable experience alongside smartphones and basic feature phones. The title of the poster, “From progress to evolution!” sets the tone for what is to come.
Honor CEO Zhao Ming shared some exciting details about the Magic V2, highlighting its impressive slimness. According to Ming, the Magic V2 will be even thinner than the current slimmest foldable phone available on the market. With Chinese smartphone brands consistently pushing the boundaries of foldable technology, the Magic V2 aims to set a new standard in sleekness.
Among the notable contenders in the ultra-thin foldable phone segment, the Huawei Mate X3 boasts an astounding thickness of 5.3mm, weighing just 239 grams. Xiaomi’s Mix Fold 2 follows closely behind with a slim profile of 5.4mm and a weight of 262 grams. The Vivo X Fold 2 impresses with its ultra-thin design, measuring just 5.95mm thick and weighing 278.5 grams. The Honor Magic Vs strikes a balance between sleekness and usability at 6.1mm thin and 261 grams.
Based on the information shared by Zhao Ming, it appears that the Magic V2 will surpass its competitors with an ultra-thin design of 5.2mm, making it 0.1mm thinner than the current leader, the Mate X3. However, the company has not yet revealed additional specifications for the Magic V2.
Reports suggest that Honor will announce two foldable phones during the July 12 event. The Magic V2 is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, while the Magic V2 Supreme Edition is rumored to come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. Both models are anticipated to offer a periscope zoom camera and support wireless charging.
