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%

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.
