Honor recently introduced their latest foldable phone, called the Magic V2. This phone is an impressive piece of design, measuring only 9.9mm when folded (and 4.7mm when unfolded). It also has one of the lightest foldables you can find, weighing just 231 grams. Up until now, the thinnest foldable phone available was the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, which is 11.2mm thick when folded and weighs 262 grams.
Another impressive design feature of the Magic V2 is its unique hinge mechanism. It does not require gears and also features a unibody design. This mechanism utilizes a 3D-printed cover made of titanium alloy, developed specifically by Honor. Additionally, the folding mechanism incorporates custom short screws in the hinge component. While there is no official waterproof rating, Honor has confirmed that the Magic V2 is protected against accidental water splashes with the P2i coating applied to all internal elements.

The Magic V2 comes with a large 7.92-inch primary screen that uses LTPO OLED technology. It has a resolution of 2,156 x 2,344 pixels and a high refresh rate of 120Hz. The panel is HDR 10+ compliant, meaning it can display a wider range of colors and contrast. In auto mode, the screen can reach a brightness of up to 1,600 nits. This ensures good visibility even in bright environments. Honor has also included a 3,840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming feature, which eliminates flickering and ensures smooth animations.
