The Honor Magic V Flip 2 Jimmy Choo Edition is for those who want their phone to do more than just function. This is a device that turns heads and stands out in a crowd. It brings together high fashion and powerful hardware in a way that feels both playful and luxurious. While the phone delivers strong performance and a unique design, it might not be for everyone. The weight distribution and boxy shape take some getting used to, and availability is limited outside China. The lack of sustainability features is also worth noting for eco-conscious buyers. For users in China who want a phone that feels like a fashion accessory, this edition offers something rare. It is a bold choice for anyone who values individuality and enjoys the spotlight. For everyone else, the Magic V Flip 2 Jimmy Choo Edition is a beautiful example of what happens when technology meets high design.

The Honor Magic V Flip 2, released in August 2025, is a powerful and stylish foldable phone designed to deliver top performance. It is powered by the Qualcomm SM8650-AB Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset (4nm), paired with an octa-core CPU that reaches up to 3.3GHz on its prime core, supported by performance and efficiency cores. The GPU is the Adreno 750, ensuring smooth gaming and multitasking. Besides this, the device is paired with a generous 12GB or 16GB of RAM with storage ranging from 256GB to 1TB. As far as the software end is concerned, the V Flip 2 runs on the latest Android 15 with Honor’s MagicOS 9 on top. However, Honor has not confirmed its software update policy. As for the build quality, the phone weighs 204g and offers IP58/IP59 rating that protects it from dust and high-pressure water jets.

The better question here is actually "Could you buy it?" at least at this point. No information on global release and no global pricing. If the Honor Magic V Flip 2 launches globally and if it's priced competitively (let's say around the price of the Chinese version after direct conversion), then the answer will definitely be "yes." The phone comes with great screens (the brightest in the flip segment and with minimal crease), a powerful chipset, decent cameras, and the best battery life in the segment, coupled with very fast charging. If you don't fancy the sparkly Jimmy Choo edition, the regular version is much more understated. A global version of the Magic V Flip 2 could endanger Samsung's flip phone hegemony, so fingers crossed Honor decides to launch the phone internationally.

After putting the Honor Magic V Flip2 through a series of tests, it’s clear that Honor has taken big steps forward compared to its previous generation. The focus this time has been on refining the camera system, boosting battery capacity, enhancing external screen functions, and improving the overall build and feel of the device. The first thing that stands out is the upgraded camera setup. Honor has managed to equip the Flip2 with the only 200MP main camera in the compact foldable category, paired with a 50MP ultra-wide lens. This is a massive leap from the earlier version and puts it on par with traditional flagship bar-style phones. Thanks to its foldable form, the main camera also doubles as one of the best selfie shooters you can get today.Next is endurance.

Honor hasn't only equipped its Magic V Flip with particularly bright displays. At 4 inches in size, its outer display is also currently one of the largest of its kind—plus, it runs at 120 Hz. The phone's performance is just as impressive and its battery life is also above-average. So, a clear purchase recommendation? Yes and no, because as our test showed, the 6.8-inch phone isn't suitable for everyone, despite its many top marks.

The Honor Magic V Flip stands out from the rest of the competition with its unique cover screen. The cover screen will work similarly to the primary display. Besides, the apps, notifications, music, and other activities are properly customized so that you don’t face any hindrance. Moreover, the device includes good enough performance, stunning camera results, and decent battery life. It could be considered one of the flip phones of the 2024. However, there’s no confirmation about the global version from Honor, and it’s more like a China-exclusive phone from the outer shell. But, if there is any update regarding the official global release, we will let you know.

As Honor’s first vertically folding mobile phone, the Honor Magic V Flip showcases Honor’s innovative thinking. It features the industry’s largest 4.0-inch external screen, deeply integrating more than 40 third-party apps, making the small folding external screen more than just a flashy “little vase.” In actual use, you can treat this external screen as the main screen, allowing you to watch Douyin, chat on WeChat, and shop on Taobao, performing all the functions of the internal screen. Honor has also introduced a cute pet desktop theme on this extra-large secondary screen, enabling users to interact with the screen by poking it, which adds a warm touch to the small foldable phone.

Honor:
In 2014 Huawei created the sub brand Honor and offers certain smartphone series under this name. Occasionally the products are also called Huawei Honor.
The market share of Honor products is manageable, but there are several reviews on Honor smartphones with average ratings (as of 2016).
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
Qualcomm Adreno 750: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 25% faster than the Adreno 7340 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and first benchmarks show that the GPU can beat the Apple A17 Pro iGPU.
Qualcomm Adreno 730: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 30% faster than the Adreno 660 in the Snapdragon 888 SoC. For Android it should be one of the fastest graphics cards in late 2021.

77.1%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
