✔ Near-invisible inner crease.
✔ All day battery life and fast charging ❌ Not the latest processor.
❌ £300 more than the Magic Vs.
❌ MagicOS could be more customisable You want the thinnest and lightest foldable Honor has crafted an impeccable foldable, boasting a thinner and lighter design than any other in the market that brings it into classic smartphone territory. You want the best foldable software experience When it comes to design, the Honor Magic V2 is unbeaten. Seriously, it’s an engineering marvel, and it’s immediately noticeable when handling the device. However, the delayed release of the 2023 foldable means it’s not quite as tempting an option as it could’ve been, with phones now appearing with newer, GenAI-capable chipsets, and it’s likely that the foldable competition will make use of that sooner than later too. It’s also £300 more than last year’s Honor Magic Vs, at £1,699, and while the design does somewhat justify the price hike, it might struggle to keep its allure long-term as true 2024 foldables begin to appear.
