Honor has confirmed the launch of its first foldable smartphone, featuring the latest Qualcomm processor, the updated Magic UI 6.0 and flagship specifications. The Honor Magic V will launch in China on 18 January for CNY 9,999 for the 12+256GB version and CNY 10,999 for the 12+512GB model.
Available in black, silver or burnt orange, the Magic V features a large triple camera module on the back and a full-length display on the front of the phone. This 6.45-inch curved OLED display comes with a wide 21.3:9 aspect ratio and functions like a standard smartphone. When the device is opened like a book, users get a bigger 7.9-inch display to use like a tablet and for multi-tasking. The screens come with a 120Hz refresh rate and Imax certification.
The phone runs Qualcomm's top 5G processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, and features a 50-megapixel rear camera and 42-megapixel front camera with night, HDR and zoom modes. The 4,750mAh battery supports 66W fast charging.
The new Magic UI 6.0 features Honor’s latest AI engine, Magic Live, to provide context-aware personal assistance based on profile prediction and a large knowledge graph. It learns user’s habits and behaviors to provide tailored recommendations, such as reminders for check-in times and boarding gate updates. Magic Live will become more intelligent in the future, supporting scenarios such as office work, study, health and fitness, and lifestyle services, Honor said.
