This article reviews the Honor Magic V2, a foldable smartphone with a price tag of £1,699.99 in the UK. Here are some key points from the review:
Design and Build
- The phone is slim and light, making it feel like using a regular smartphone until you want to unfold it.
- It has a 7.9-inch display when unfolded.
Software
- The software is not as polished as Samsung’s Z Fold 5 or Google Pixel Fold.
- There are preinstalled third-party apps that cannot be removed.
- Error messages pop up frequently, making it seem like the phone is buggier than it actually is.
Camera
- The camera performance is inconsistent in low light conditions.
- Colors can be overbrightened and less detailed.
- Close-up performance is good, but not exceptional.
Price
- The Magic V2’s price sits between Samsung’s Z Fold 5 and Google Pixel Fold.
- It doesn’t have some features like IP rating, ultra-thin glass, or wireless charging that are available on the Z Fold 5.
- OnePlus Open beats it on price while offering more multitasking options.
Agreements
- The reviewer counted a total of four mandatory agreements to use the phone, two for Google account services, and six optional agreements.
