Honor has officially unveiled the Magic V Flip 2 in China, a clamshell foldable that takes direct aim at rivals like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Motorola’s Razr 60 Ultra. The new model focuses on two standout features — a massive battery and a high-resolution main camera — setting it apart in the increasingly competitive flip phone market.
The Magic V Flip 2 packs a 5,500mAh silicon-carbon battery, the largest ever in this category. It supports 80W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and 7.5W reverse wireless charging. Honor says this should give users far more endurance than typical clamshell foldables, which often struggle with smaller cells.
On the back, the phone carries a 200MP main camera with a 1/1.4-inch sensor, f/1.9 aperture, and OIS, alongside a 50MP ultrawide with a 120-degree field of view. For selfies, there’s a 50MP front-facing camera, giving the Flip 2 one of the most ambitious camera systems on a foldable flip to date.
The inner screen is a 6.82-inch LTPO OLED panel with 2868×1232 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of up to 5,000 nits. On the outside, there’s a 4.0-inch LTPO OLED cover screen at 1200×1092 resolution, reaching 3,600 nits. Under the hood sits Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, paired with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage.
The phone runs MagicOS 9.0.1 on Android 15 and brings AI tools such as AI-assisted photo editing—similar to Google’s “Help me Edit” on the Pixel 10 series—alongside features like “AI Smart Cutout” and “AI Stylized” (translated from Chinese).
The device also includes IP58/IP59 ratings, SGS durability certification, dual speakers, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, and NFC. It comes in Purple, White, Gray, and a limited-edition Blue. Buyers can choose from 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 12GB+1TB, and 16GB+1TB variants. Pricing in China starts at CNY 5,499 (around $765), with sales kicking off on August 28.
Global availability hasn’t been confirmed yet, but the Magic V Flip 2’s combination of battery life, cameras, and high-brightness displays could make it a strong contender if Honor takes it international.
