the foldable smartphone experience to the next level. The perfect companion for 
jet-setting entrepreneurs as well as those who put mobile entertainment above 
all else, the device offers the ultimate blend of style and substance.

Robust Meets Portable: Introducing A Groundbreaking Hinge Design
The HONOR Magic Vs is exceptionally slim and lightweight, measuring just

factor, the HONOR Magic Vs features a 5000mAh16 battery, the largest battery

casting technology, reducing the number of structural components from 92 in the 
previous generation down to just 417. Boasting exceptional durability, the 
hinge can withstand up to 400,000 folds18 as tested by TÜV Rheinland, which is 
equivalent to more than ten years of use based on 100 folds per day, setting a 
new benchmark for foldable smartphone design.

Thanks to the sophisticated structure of the hinge, the HONOR Magic Vs folds 
tightly without a gap and has an almost fully flat screen when unfolded, a 
feature that competing foldable devices on the market do not offer.

Dual Display Delivers an Exceptional Viewing Experience

user-friendly 6.45-inch external display19 with a 21:9 aspect ratio and a 90% 
screen-to-body ratio20. When unfolded, the HONOR Magic Vs delivers a

users to multi-task and view content with remarkable ease.

Packed with professional eye comfort solutions, the HONOR Magic Vs features 
Dynamic Dimming, Circadian Night Display, and 1920Hz Pulse Width Modulation 
(PWM) Dimming, the highest frequency ever achieved in the current foldable 
smartphones markets, to effectively reduce the effects of digital eye strain 
and fatigue.  

Superior Configurations for a Powerful User Experience
The HONOR Magic Vs is equipped with an impressive rear triple camera system 
comprising a 54MP IMX800 Main Camera, a 50MP Ultra-Wide & Macro Main Camera and 
an 8MP 3X Optical Zoom Camera, delivering an exceptional photography 
experience, no matter the shooting scenario22.

Powered by the Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform23 from Qualcomm, the HONOR 
Magic Vs delivers enhanced performance with higher power efficiency for a 
faster and smoother user experience. With HONOR's Turbo X engines, it strives 
to bring you longer battery life and a smoother experience.
