Global technology brand HONOR has officially introduced the world’s thinnest folding phone, the HONOR Magic V2, for only PHP79,999, with enticing pre-order freebies like the HONOR Watch GS 3 and the Harman Kardon Aura Studio 4 HIFI Speaker, for a total of PHP 28,000!
HONOR Magic V2 is currently available for pre-order at HONOR Experience and Partner Stores, as well as online through Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.
HONOR Magic V2 has been launched!
“The HONOR Magic V2 redefines the benchmark for foldable smartphones while prioritizing the essentials of a top-tier slate phone. The ultra-slim device is crafted to offer unparalleled functionality and a sleek, sophisticated design that is unrivaled in the market,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.
HONOR Super-light Titanium Hinge: A Groundbreaking First in the Industry Materials
For the first time, HONOR used titanium alloy in the hinge cover, an aerospace-grade material and a pioneering innovation in the foldable smartphone hinge design. Titanium strikes the perfect balance between weight and strength, being lighter than aluminum yet stronger than steel. It is a material that possesses the trifecta of ultra-lightness, ultra-toughness, and ultra-corrosion resistance, making it an ideal alloy for a wide range of applications.
Following several verifications and testing done by the HONOR research and development team, it has been determined that the titanium alloy is a preferable alternative to other traditional materials for the hinge shaft cover. Compared to aluminum alloy shaft coverings, titanium alloy has an amazing 150% greater strength, making it a considerably more appealing material for a lightweight foldable smartphone.
Meanwhile, the titanium alloy has a greater melting point of 1650°C, compared to 650°C in more traditional foldable hinge materials such as aluminum alloys, demonstrating HONOR’s all-new enhanced hinge’s unparalleled strength.
In addition, HONOR‘s proprietary steel, a cutting-edge material inspired by steel used in tunnel boring applications, has been expertly created for use in the hinge’s main body of the HONOR Magic V2. This breakthrough material strikes the ideal balance between thinness and durability, resulting in a sleek and sturdy design that sets a new benchmark for excellence.
This cutting-edge material is 25% thinner and 20% stronger than its equivalent in HONOR Magic Vs. Additionally, HONOR’s unique steel accounts for 67% of the hinge. Given that it makes up the majority of the hinge mechanism, the unique material works in tandem with the titanium alloy to ensure that the HONOR Magic V2 is durable enough to survive the wear and tear of everyday usage.
Advanced structure
The hinge’s upgraded support structure outperforms its predecessor, with a 75% reduction in thickness and a 47% reduction in the depth of fold marks on the inner screen.
Furthermore, the HONOR Magic V2’s hinge has an innovative “brake caliper” dampening structure made up of seven sets of cams, three more than HONOR’s prior foldables, for a more stable and elegant experience with smooth opening and shutting.
Thanks to the inclusion of this component, the hinge now provides an amazing free hovering experience with various angles, boosting user experiences with capabilities such as hover photography, hover movie viewing, and hover conferencing, among others.
Another recent advance is HONOR’s self-developed micro lock, a connecting component made of unique steel. This microscopic component is the size of a single grain of rice and is 20 to 100 times smaller than its equivalents in the previous HONOR folding smartphone.
This precision-manufactured, lightweight, and sturdy component is ideal for eliminating screen misalignment and wrinkles, resulting in optimal performance.
In HONOR’s objective to achieve perfect thinness, even inconspicuous components like screws are innovated on. Inside the Titanium Alloy Hinge, special short screws are employed to reduce the height of the hinge construction while maintaining the mechanism’s durability.
HONOR’s propriety micro lock, which is used to join the hinge components, marks a significant advancement in workmanship. The combination of ultra-precise production procedures and durable materials efficiently reduces fold marks caused by screen misalignments.
The bespoke high-precision nuts (0.75 x φ2.9mm) are the industry’s most precise and compact nuts, providing a unique fastening option for securing hinge components. This unique fastening mechanism surpasses traditional nuts, maximizing space consumption within the device.
Manufacturing
The mortise and tenon integral molding technology successfully integrates the hinge shaft cover and hinge body, greatly reducing the hinge’s internal space and overall thickness.
HONOR’s revolutionary methodology and commitment to developing more “slender” foldable smartphones provide a comprehensive answer to the long-standing issue of thickness in folding display panels.
Because of these groundbreaking improvements, the HONOR Magic V2 can resist over 400,000 folds. Its remarkable qualities enable worry-free use, even if the gadget is folded 100 times each day, resulting in a lifespan of up to ten years.
New Architecture for More Space and Power
The classic “three-layer stacked” screen driver design has long been a significant barrier to fitting big batteries in small and light folding screen mobile phones.
By introducing a breakthrough “three-in-one” display driver component, HONOR took advantage of the extra internal space and put a 5000mAh Silicon-carbon Battery into the HONOR Magic V2.
Embedding a 5000mAh battery in such a thin and lightweight design demonstrates HONOR’s constant dedication to pushing the frontiers of technical innovation and engineering excellence, as well as taking the right, if difficult, road to success.
HONOR Ultra-thin Bionic VC Cooling System
Smartphones, especially those with strong CPUs and extensive features, require efficient cooling systems to avoid overheating, maintain peak performance, and assure long-term durability. The HONOR Ultra-thin Bionic VC Cooling System meets these requirements by using a multi-layer approach.
The cooling system incorporates advanced materials such as an ultra-thin vapor chamber (VC), ultra-high thermal conductivity graphite, thermal conductivity gel, copper foil, and a high thermal conductivity AL middle frame. Despite the limits of ultra-thin device thickness, the unique HONOR Ultra-thin Bionic VC cooling system makes the most of every inch to provide remarkable cooling efficiency.
The bionic VC is designed to replicate the natural thickness of cicada wings, measuring an incredible 0.22mm, and the entire cooling system boasts a cooling area of 29,000 square meters, a 12.5% increase over the previous generation, earning the HONOR Magic V2 yet another industry-leading accolade.
The Wraparound Antenna Extension Technology 2.0
HONOR has successfully developed an ultra-thin antenna with a three-millimeter design, making it the smallest in the foldable industry. Furthermore, its streamlined design has a 10% larger antenna area than the HONOR Magic Vs, resulting in the best overall antenna performance on the market.
