Introduction
The Honor Magic Vs is the latest addition to Honor's range of foldable smartphones. With its sleek design and premium features, it positions itself as a serious competitor to industry giants such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. In this article, we will explore the key features of this innovative smartphone.
Design and build quality
The Honor Magic Vs features a classic design for a foldable phone. Closed, it looks like a large smartphone with an external screen you can interact with. When opened, it reveals a larger, tablet-like internal screen. The Magic Vs is taller and wider than the Z Fold 4, but also thinner and of similar weight. It should be noted that unlike the Z Fold 4, the Magic Vs is not waterproof.
Screens
The Magic Vs is equipped with two OLED screens. The external screen measures 6.45 inches with a resolution of 1080p and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The internal screen measures 7.9 inches with a resolution of 1984 x 2272 and a refresh rate of 90 Hz. Both displays are sharp and contrasty, with good color accuracy.
Performance
The Honor Magic Vs is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, delivering high-level performance. However, it fails to outperform this year's new flagships equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Despite this, the Magic Vs offers sufficient power for demanding games and multitasking.
Battery life
The Magic Vs has the largest battery of any current foldable smartphone, with a capacity of 5000 mAh. It also supports fast charging at 66W, allowing the phone to be charged from 0 to 85% in just half an hour.
Cameras
The Honor Magic Vs is equipped with three rear cameras: a 54-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle. The photos taken with these cameras are of very good quality, with good dynamic management and vivid colors. However, it is worth noting that the Magic Vs does not allow taking selfies with the rear cameras, a key feature for foldable phones.
Conclusion
The Honor Magic Vs is an impressive foldable smartphone that offers a series of high-end features range. However, it has some shortcomings, including lack of waterproofing, stylus support, and wireless charging.
