Heralding a new era in smartphone technology, global technology brand HONOR – which was the fastest growing smartphone brand in South Africa in 2023 – is gearing up to unveil its highly anticipated next-generation flagship models: the HONOR Magic V2 and Magic6 Pro.
These devices mark a significant leap forward in innovation, boasting cutting-edge features that promise to redefine industry standards in both foldable and artificial intelligence technology.
Magic V2: Ultra-slim, lightweight with extra power
The HONOR Magic V2 represents a remarkable achievement in foldable smartphones, addressing two major concerns among consumers: bulkiness and weight. Crowned as the thinnest and lightest inward foldable smartphone to date, the Magic V2 sets a new benchmark in form factor innovation. Weighing in at a mere 231g and measuring just 9.9mm thick when folded, this device is a testament to HONOR’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology.
Its super-light Titanium Hinge and proprietary steel frame ensure durability and have achieved a certification from Switzerland’s SGS guaranteeing reliability for over 400 000 folds across 10 years. Furthermore, the Magic V2 features an innovative ultra-thin dual Silicon-carbon battery, averaging only 2.72mm in thickness – the average size of a credit card.
It enables longer usage times and rapid charging with 66W HONOR SuperCharge support. In a nod to sustainability, the Black variant of the smartphone offers a vegan leather back option, providing eco-conscious consumers with a stylish yet environmentally friendly choice.
The HONOR Magic V2 has set a challenging record for the industry to follow. This achievement is attributed to the meticulous refinement in product structure, continuous improvements of manufacturing processes, and premium selection of materials during its development.
Magic6 Pro: On-device AI camera capability
Meanwhile, the Magic6 Pro, recently launched globally, has the best on-device AI camera and represents a leap forward in AI–powered photography. Equipped with the upgraded HONOR Falcon Camera System – including a 50MP Wide camera, 50MP Ultra-wide camera and 180MP Periscope Telephoto camera – the Magic6 Pro delivers stunning visual experiences. Its on-device AI camera capabilities leverage advanced technology to capture sports photography with unparalleled detail and precision.
With an extensive training dataset comprising 8 000 000 images, the Magic6 Pro effortlessly predicts and captures decisive moments in ultra-high definition, making it ideal for capturing fast-paced events such as sports competitions. Renowned French fencer Cécilia Berder collaborated with HONOR to demonstrate the device’s prowess in sports photography, showcasing its ability to capture lightning-fast movements with exceptional clarity.
The upcoming launch of the Magic Series in South Africa underscores HONOR’s unwavering commitment to innovation and pushing the boundaries of smartphone technology. With the Magic V2 and Magic6 Pro, HONOR promises to deliver a transformative and unparalleled smartphone experience to users, setting new standards for excellence in the industry while also positioning itself as an authority.
