Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “There’s a New Folding Smartphone in Town…”.
So you guys know that I am a big fan of folding devices. Folding phones well folding, anything in terms of tech because it takes something bigger makes it smaller. I made a video recently looking at folding devices that I haven’t been able to get my hands on today. I have another entry into that Marketplace. This is the honor magic vs and they have attempted to make something even thinner, less cumbersome than the other folding devices that are currently available. So the interior display on this unit is going to be 7.9 inches, foldable OLED, with a refresh rate up to 90 Hertz 800 nits brightness 2272 by 1984, and then the exterior display is actually quite large as well: 6.45 inches OLED, 120 hertz refresh now.
The other thing they’ve been able to do is pack a 5 000 milliamp hour battery in here and, as you can see, it has this kind of like aqua, tealish color with a matte finish camera unit. In this section, huge external display, it’s just more convenient to interact with the external display, so it’s been great to see these things get significantly larger. 54 megapixel IMX, 800.
F. 1.9. You also have a 50 megapixel ultrawide F2 and an 8 megapixel 3x optical zoom at f24. It will do video up to UHD 3840.
So there is your big internal display with the front facing camera. I want to test the hinge a pretty strong spring popping things open, satisfying magnetic type of tap there. You can see the way that the glass wraps around the side, basically AIDS in having the thing feel thinner than it actually is. You have your USB type-c down on the bottom speaker unit, your sim trays over there, the fingerprint scanner inside of the power switch obviously, and your volume rocker is over there as well up on the top of the device.
Another speaker, because we’re talking about stereo, sound, obviously front-facing camera on the exterior display is in the center. So it’s symmetrical okay, so the device is booted up now, and this gives you your first glimpse into the screen to body ratio which is actually pretty impressive. On the external display, now, when I pop it open, things, obviously get quite a bit larger. So that’s your 7.9 inch display internally look at this resolution, so you have a smart resolution: option which is going to dynamically choose the optimal resolution for for appearance and battery life, though obviously the benefits of fast refresh it goes beyond just gaming and into the snappiness Of the device or the feeling that you get of quickness, so it’s nice to have fast Refresh on both of these displays. This looks like a power, brick 66 watt, supercharged USB C to a our Sim tool, got a paperwork oh and also a cover. So it looks like this cover sort of carries through the color from the device, so you’re still representing your color Choice. It only covers the back of the phone, which is fine with me. I mean the bezel on the front is so slim to begin with.
What would you really even be covering there, so this is going to clip on the back. It almost has like a leatherish feel to it, even though it’s synthetic, so this color is officially called cyan and the device will also be available in Orange gold and black they’re, calling the hinge super light and gearless well. The whole device feels a little bit less like a brick and more like a typical smartphone, because it’s lighter weight, it’s 261 grams, so for an almost eight inch display. That’S I mean that’s pretty lightweight some other specs, the front-facing camera 16 megapixel f245. Of course, the chip Snapdragon 8 plus gen 1, it’s available with 8 gigs of RAM 256 storage or 12 gigs Ram 256 or 512 gigs of storage. Now the other thing that honor is really proud of here is this hinge, which enabled this design so they’re, calling it a groundbreaking super light.
Gearless hinge with single piece casting processing technology. You have far fewer components compared to other hinge systems that exist on foldables. From other brands, so it measures just 12.9 millimeters when it’s folded and 261 grams in weight, while featuring the largest battery in the same class of foldable smartphones, it uses a single piece casting processing technology to drastically reduce the number of components from 92 to four four Pieces in the hinge whoa feels a lot like some of those other hinges. Yet somehow it’s only four components and somehow the device is thinner and lighter. Okay and that’s the other thing it folds completely flat and tight across the entirety of the folded region. That’S a pretty thin sheet of paper tight the whole way like don’t try this at home.
There’S really no need to, but put it right on the hinge there listen to how tight that is yeah. I don’t doubt what they’re saying it’s pretty impressive engineering. Certainly. 400. 000 folds, which is equivalent to more than 10 years of use with 100 folds per day, and with this amazing, exterior display in this case, you might actually spend a lot of time out here, anyways, because this is one of the nicer displays that I’ve seen on The exterior of a foldable up the brightness there look at that pot right there, okay, so here’s the thing about this device. I have a super early version of it at the moment. So, therefore, I can’t evaluate the cameras or other aspects of the software which is going to change prior to the actual public release of the device. So the point of this video was to kind of give a hardware overview sort of check out their approach. Considering this is still a new area of the market, most people with smartphones still haven’t tried.
Folding phones and many have been waiting for a greater variety of folding phones to choose from this is the new honor magic vs, and you can, let me know down below how you think it compares to some of the other options, hopefully I’ll, be able to dive A little deeper into it test out these cameras and such at a later date, once the software has been updated.
