Meet Honor Magic V2 – The Lightest and Thinnest Foldable Phone to Date

Honor just announced its third-generation foldable phone – the Magic V2. It is the thinnest and light foldable device to date. It’s a real design marvel at just 9.9mm in its folded state (4.7mm unfolded) and it weighs just 231 grams. The thinnest foldable until this point was the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 which measures 11.2mm in its folded state and weighs 262 grams.

The other neat design element on the Magic V2 is its gearless unibody hinge mechanism which uses a 3D-printed titanium alloy cover developed by Honor. The folding mechanism also uses custom short screws in the hinge component. There’s no official ingress protection but Honor did confirm Magic V2 features P2i coating on all internal elements which protect it against accidental water splashes.
