Honor has announced another foldable device in its Magic V lineup that succeeds last year’s Magic Vs. The new Magic Vs2 offers an updated magnesium alloy chassis with a newly developed titanium Luban hinge that has allowed the device to be remarkably thin at just 229 grams. It’s lighter than the Magic V2 (231 grams) and is closing in on the recent crop of flagship bar phones.
Magic Vs2 is also extraordinarily thin: 10.7 mm when closed and just 5.1 mm when open. You get a 6.43-inch LTPO OLED coverage screen with a resolution of 1,060 x 2,376 px, a refresh rate of 1-120 Hz, and a 20:9 aspect ratio. Honor also claims that the cover panel can reach up to 2,500 nits of brightness.

The internal screen measures 7.9 inches and boasts the same LTPO OLED technology and 1-120Hz refresh rate and features a 9.8:9 aspect ratio. Both panels support HDR 10+ and feature 16MP front-facing cameras housed inside punch-hole cutouts. The Magic Vs2 also supports stylus input on both the external and internal screens.
Honor used the same Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset paired with 12/16GB of RAM and 256/512GB of storage. The device houses updated cameras with a 50MP main shooter, a 20MP telephoto module with 2.5x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens.

The software side is covered by MagicOS 7.2 based on Android 13 with several improvements for the larger screen such as split-screen multitasking, opening two instances of the same app side by side, and free vacuum cleaner mode that splits the two halves of the screen for a laptop similar experience on supported apps. Honor has also managed to pack a 5,000mAh battery with 66W wired fast charging support.
Magic Vs2 is available in Velvet Black, Glacier Blue and Coral Purple. Price starts from CNY6,999 ($958) for the 12/256 GB model and goes up to CNY7,699 ($1,054) for the 16/512 GB version. Pre-orders are now live in China from Honor’s official website, while open sales will begin on October 17.
