Honor Magic V2 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Honor Magic V2 - what should be a modern flagship

Foldable smartphones have been a hit with audiences for several years now, but their popularity is still low. The reason was not even the high price tag, but the excessive dimensions of the devices and the fragility of their design. And it seems that the hero of today's review was able to eliminate the shortcomings mentioned above.

The design of the novelty is impressive. Incredibly modest for a form factor thickness of a centimeter, small frames of both screens, a stylish block of photomodules, an abundance of metal and tempered glass in the structure of the case look extremely expensive. Both the secondary 6.43-inch AMOLED display (2376x1080 pixels) and the main flexible 7.92-inch AMOLED panel (2344x2156 pixels) are characterized by excellent color reproduction, a 120-Hz picture refresh rate, and an impressive margin of brightness. They also have virtually no PWM effect, which will please buyers who are sensitive to it. The fingerprint scanner is located on the side, and both displays have a 16-megapixel selfie camera at the top. The opening mechanism of the device is durable, withstands thousands of openings without any problems.

The technical characteristics were the top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 CPU, 12GB / 16GB of RAM and the Adreno 750 video accelerator. One and a half million points in the AnTuTu benchmark indicate that the performance of the device is enough not only to run Android 13. All applications and games will be played without even after 2-3 years, today Fortnite, Genshin Impact, and Honkai: Star Rail demonstrate 60 or more frames per second. A high-quality cooling system made it possible to avoid overheating of the gadget after long gaming sessions, and the energy efficiency of the chipset was also impressive. The 5000mAh battery, even taking into account the features of the phablet, offers 7-8 hours of active screen time. The size of the permanent memory can be 256, 512 or 1024GB of UFS 4.0 format ROM.

The photo capabilities of the triple camera do not lag behind the parameters considered earlier. A 50-megapixel main module with laser autofocus and a wide-angle lens with optical stabilization, a 20-megapixel telephoto lens with a threefold zoom significantly increase the chances of a successful shot, regardless of the movement of objects, their lighting. Deprived of artifacts and video in 8K resolution. Of course, there was a really loud (over 90 dB) and rich stereo sound. There is also contactless NFC payment and 5G support, but there is no wireless charging, only its wired counterpart with a power of 66W is available. Also, the foldable Android-smartphone is deprived of moisture protection. But even without it, he is a real technological miracle and definitely deserves excellent sales.
