In Shanghai, China, HONOR, a leading global technology brand, today unveiled the HONOR V Purse. This foldable mobile phone is designed to be very thin and stylish. It is just 8.6mm when folded and 4.3mm when unfurled. With this, it breaks the previous record for the thinnest foldable mobile phone. After announcing the HONOR V Purse concept phone at IFA this year, this is the first time HONOR has made a concept into a product that is sold. The HONOR V Purse elegantly embodies the “phone-to-purse” idea and stands for the meeting point of fashion and tech. It brings a new fashionable choice for users who value style.
CEO of Honor, George Zhao said
“Today’s consumers are focused on leading fashionable, digital lifestyles,” … “To cater to these needs, HONOR is defining what’s next for smartphones, debuting the HONOR V Purse which seamlessly combines cutting-edge innovation with a chic design. Testament to our commitment to constantly exploring bold new form factors to keep up with the latest lifestyle trends, the HONOR V Purse will inspire a new generation of runway-worthy smart products that are unlike anything on the market today.”
Thinnest Foldable Phone in the world
The HONOR V Purse, which measures just 8.6mm when folded and 4.3mm when unfolded, breaks the previous record for thinness for foldable cell phones. This new record is part of its quest for the slimmest and lightest foldable form factor. The innovative bag phone, which weighs only 214g gives buyers the ability to fold up of a huge folding screen without the weight of typical folding phones.
The brand-new HONOR hinge makes it possible to achieve the most recent strides in folding thinness. It uses super springs that are 1.2 mm thick and tiny gears with a 1.73 mm diameter. The new hinge uses HONOR’s own steel and unique folding mechanism to provide superb toughness while being amazingly light.
A variety of similar straps and chains that clip onto the HONOR V Purse’s hinge enable you to easily wear the phone over your shoulder or carry it in your hand. This design earns it the “PURSE” name. With a series of custom always-on display (AOD) designs that mimic a handbag design, this device makes a good fashion statement. The phone’s clasp, which unlocks the screen with a pleasing click, much like the buckle on a clutch, makes unfolding it a unique experience.
Honor V Purse Camera
The HONOR V Purse is a mobile photo studio with a 50MP IMX800 sensor that you can wear. The huge screen can be folded down and used as a digital viewfinder. Thus, you can see what the camera sees when taking selfies with the back cameras. It can also be used as a fill light to help you produce beautiful portrait images. A dual-purpose 12MP ultra-wide and macro camera gives the potent primary camera more range. It allows users to take great landscape photos and wide group photos. Users can also capture decent close-up shots that reveal details that are often missed by the unaided eye.
Gizchina News of the week
The HONOR V Purse offers 0.6x, 0.8x, 1x, and 1.3x digital zoom, creating several portrait styles, and is made better with the HONOR Image Engine. For serious portrait artists, there is also a special Portrait Mode with the ability to switch between 1x and 2x zoom. The HONOR V Purse’s AI Skin Colour Algorithm intelligently boosts skin’s brightness and blurs ambient light sources to create bokeh effects. This allows uses to take top images irrespective of the location.
Screen
The HONOUR V Purse has a cutting-edge 7.71-inch 2K flexible OLED display with a peak brightness of 1,600 nits. The smart screen, when paired with an anti-reflective coating allows more light to flow through to reduce reflection. This makes the display remain colourful and legible in direct sunshine.
Also, the HONOR V Purse’s display can be as dark as two nits, so that late-night reading is as serene for your eyes. This device supports the full range of HONOR safety features, such as 2,160Hz PWM Dimming. This feature can virtually reduce harmful screen flicker. Also, the Dynamic Dimming and Circadian Night Display can reduce eye fatigue caused by long mobile phone use.
Battery
This mobile phone comes with two silicon-carbon batteries that deliver a total of 4,500mAh. The silicon-carbon cells, which use HONOR’s pioneering low-voltage charge-gathering technology, have reworked circuitry and a decent discharge system. It offers 360% more charge than typical graphite-based battery systems. It also enables the HONOR V Purse to perform well at low voltages. With the 7.71-inch 2K display unfolded, the new Silicon-carbon anodes allow the batteries to be as thin as a name card. According to the company, the Honor V Purse can offer up to 8.7 hours of video playback, 10.6 hours of continuous article reading, or 16 hours of online music play.
