The Chinese smartphone manufacturer Honor has unveiled its first smartphone with a flip-up screen, the Magic V.
At 7.9 inches, the large display of the Honor Magic V is slightly larger than that of Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 3. The latter "only" manages a diagonal of 7.6 inches. With an aspect ratio of 10:9, the 90 hertz touchscreen of the Magic V is almost square, which is also evident in the unusual resolution of 2272×1984 pixels.
Three 50 megapixel cameras
If you don't want to flip the Magic V open, you can still use an ordinary smartphone screen. On the outside is a 6.45-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 2560×1080 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 hertz.
Honor installs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 as well as 12 gigabytes of working memory in the Magic V. The internal storage is 256 or 512 gigabytes depending on the model variant. The battery has a capacity of 4750 mAh. It is supposed to be charged to 50% in 15 minutes via the 66-watt power supply. Android 12 is used as the operating system. Honor provides it with its Magic UI 6.0 user interface. Unlike the former parent company Huawei, Honor is allowed to use Google services.
The back of the Magic V features three cameras, each of which has a resolution of 50 megapixels. Next to the main and ultra-wide-angle cameras is a "Spectrum Enhanced Camera". It is supposed to capture more wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, or in other words, more colors. Two front cameras - one on the outside and one on the inside - with resolutions of 42 megapixels complete the camera equipment.
Price and availability
Honor will initially only sell the Magic V in China from January 18. The price starts at 9999 yuan, which is equivalent to about 1388 euros or 1452 francs. The Honor Magic V is the third foldable smartphone from the last four weeks that we do not yet know when it will be available in our country.
When I was but a young student, I'd sit in my friend's living room with all my classmates and play on his SuperNES. Since then I've had the opportunity to test out all the newest technology for you. I've done reviews at Curved, Computer Bild and Netzwelt, and have now arrived at Galaxus.de.
