And when you fold it shut, the Magic V2’s thickness is just 9.9mm thick. While Honor hasn’t explicitly mentioned the thickness profile of the Magic Vs2, it did give details regarding the weight.
According to Honor, the device weighs just 229 grams. To compare, the Magic V2 weighs 231 grams, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 weighs 253 grams. But it’s not just the slimness and lightweight nature of the device that makes it stand out. There’s more.
Premium Design

Additionally, the Magic Vs2 comes with a superlight Titanium Hinge. Honor manufactured it with class-leading 3D printing technology. It strikes the perfect balance between strength and weight.
Also, the hinge of the Magic Vs2 comes with a gearless structure with a suspended waterdrop design. These two elements ensure a smooth opening and closing experience. Alongside that, you can effortlessly keep the phone at the unfolded stage in various angles.

The Magic Vs2 comes with a 6.43-inch outer panel. This OLED display features a 20:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2376×1060. Moreover, the panel’s peak brightness rating is 2500 nits, which ensures excellent visual clarity in most scenarios.
When you unfoled the Honor Magic Vs2, you’ll be greeted with a 7.92-inch OLED display. This foldable panel boasts a resolution of 2344×2156 and can go as bright as 1600 nits. And you can easily get an expansive and highly immersive viewing experience on it.
Besides, Honor Magic Vs2 incorporates multiple display features to maximize user comfort. For example, the two displays come with 3840Hz PWM Dimming, ensuring smooth brightness control. Also, the high PWM Dimming helps to minimize eye strain during prolonged viewing.
Additionally, both displays have support for HDR10+ and feature a 120Hz LTPO refresh rate. What’s more interesting is that the bezels surrounding the screen are symmetrical. This design choice makes the display feel seamless and enhances the viewing experience further.
