Honor’s Magic Vs Foldable Gets New Global Launch Pricing – SlashGear

When Honor first announced the Honor Magic Vs a few months ago, it received widespread acclaim for its polished looks and great hardware specs. Besides eliminating the noticeable crease that has become the hallmark of foldable smartphones today, Honor also claims that the Honor Magic Vs’ hinge mechanism is sturdier than ever before. 

The phone was also notable for its 21:9, 6.45-inch external display, with an excellent 90% screen-body ratio. The primary OLED display — at 7.9-inches — is nearly tablet-sized and boasts a resolution of 2272×1984 pixels.

Built around our super light hinge, the #HONORMagicVs is a next generation foldable smartphone. With a long-lasting battery and innovative technology all built into a super slim body, this is the foldable smartphone of your dreams. #UnleashthePowerofMagic #HONORMWC2023 #MWC23 pic.twitter.com/vozyYR7875

Being slightly older than the new Magic 5 series devices, the Magic Vs uses last year’s Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip from Qualcomm. The camera setup on the phone includes a 54MP Main Camera, a 50MP Ultra-Wide camera, and an 8MP telephoto camera that supports 3X Optical Zoom. In addition to these, the device also gets a 16MP front-facing camera for selfies. 

The Honor Magic Vs gets a large 5,000 mAh battery that supports the company’s proprietary 66W fast charging. Unfortunately, the device does not support wireless charging. At launch, the phone runs Honor’s MagicOS 7.1, which is based on Android 13.

Those intending to buy these new Honor products will need to wait until Q2 2023 to get their hands on one. Pricing for the Honor Magic 5 starts at 899 euros ($952) for the base variant (8GB+256GB), while the Honor Magic 5 Pro will set users back by 1199 euros ($1,270) for the 12GB+512GB version. As for the foldable Honor Magic Vs, this phone has been priced at 1599 euros ($1694), and comes in a single 12GB+512GB option.
