Honor introduced the Magic V2 smartphone back in July 2023 at an event in China. The company promised a European unveiling later in the and demoed the device at IFA Berlin without any details about pricing and availability.
Over four months after the European unveiling where we had some hands-on experience, the wait is finally over. Honor scheduled a launch event for January 26 at 2 PM CET, where the Magic V2 will be properly announced with a price tag and availability timeline.
The Magic V2 was the slimmest foldable at launch, and it still is, over six months after being announced (if we don’t count the V Purse with a different form factor and limited availability). It also has a slightly smaller footprint than the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max or Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra when folded, which means it’s no harder to put in a pocket than a conventional flagship.
The fact that the screen bends is only one impressive feat of the Magic V2. Beyond that there is also the triple 50 MP camera, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, and a 5,000 mAh battery with 66W charging support.
The launch will take place at the Porsche Experience Center in Leipzig, Germany. We will bring you the full details once the event is over.
