Honor Magic V Flip smartphone review - The slim flip-phone has the brightest displays

Record foldable.

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.

5G Android Foldable Smartphone Touchscreen

The Magic V Flip is Honor's first flip-format foldable smartphone. It not only sets out to impress with its slim case (7 mm when folded open, around 14 mm when shut), but also with its outer display in particular.

At a generous 4 inches, the outer display is comparatively huge by foldable standards and, like the 6.8-inch main display, relies on a 120-Hz LTPO OLED panel with always-on functionality. That's quite a statement for the competition. The external display on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 5G for example, measures just 3.4 inches and only runs at 60 Hz.

In terms of its other features, the Honor foldable also goes head-to-head with Samsung and other competitors such as the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra. In addition to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, the Magic V Flip features a 50 MP main camera and a 4800 mAh battery that can be charged at 66 watts.

Officially, the Magic V Flip can only be purchased in China, where it was launched at the end of June. Honor hasn't yet announced an international release date. In the United States, you can purchase the smartphone as an import device.

Case - The slim, lightweight and stable foldable

Weighing in at 193 grams, the Magic V Flip, which has a thickness of 7.2 millimeters, can be held comfortably in your hand. In its closed state, it has a thickness of 14.9 millimeters. Compared to the competition, these aren't extraordinary values but all-in-all, the Honor foldable feels nice and slim and lightweight.

Its build quality is good, too. There are no gaps in its construction and the shiny aluminum frame—along with the glass back—gives the Magic V Flip a high-end appearance.

When folded shut, both halves of the smartphone sit flush together and are held firmly in place. Despite this, the foldable can still be opened easily with one hand and even holds in-between positions such as the "tent" position stably. We didn't elicit any creaking noises from the device when attempting to twist it using a normal amount of strength.

According to Honor, the Luban hinge uses the same stainless steel-titanium material mix as the hinge on the Honor Magic V2, and is said to use a high-strength and ultra-thin steel foil for additional stability.

The manufacturer hasn't given any information on the folding mechanism's longevity, but it should be roughly the same as the Magic V2—if not even better. So you can expect to get at least 400,000 folds out of this phone which, according to Honor, corresponds to a service life of 10 years (at approximately 100 folds per day). The Magic V Flip doesn't have an IP rating. 

The Magic V Flip comes in three colorways, namely white (Camellia White), pink (Champagne Pink) and black (Iris Black).

Connectivity - 12 GB RAM and up to 1 TB storage

There are three storage variants of the phone available, each with 12 GB RAM. The smallest with 256 GB storage costs around US$935 if you purchase it from our rental provider TradingShenzhen. The price for the 512 GB version is about US$1,035, while the top-of-the-range model with 1 TB storage costs around US$1,113. Since the device doesn't have a microSD card slot, you can't expand its storage.

The OTG-capable USB-C port relies on slow USB 2.0 and achieved a data throughput of 30.8 MB/s in our copying test using an external Samsung 980 SSD. USB storage media connected to the Magic V Flip can be formatted with the data systems FAT32, exFAT and NTFS.

Aside from stereo speakers, the phone also features Bluetooth 5.3 and NFC. Unfortunately, DRM Widevine L1 doesn't belong to the talents of the Magic V Flip but instead, only DRM Widevine L3. This means you can't stream any HD content from Netflix and the like, and are limited to 480p quality.

Software - Android 14 and MagicOS 8 for the Honor foldable

Android 14 runs on the Magic V Flip, with Honor's own user interface installed on top, namely MagicOS 8.0. Its features include Magic Capsule (an Apple Dynamic Island clone) and several AI-supported assistants such as Magic Portal.

Using Magic Portal, information can be dragged and dropped between apps, for example to paste highlighted text into the notes app. Adding to this are further useful MagicOS helpers such as context menus for in-app functions, a multi-window view and an AI-supported eraser tool for photos. An overview of the features of MagicOS 8 can be found at Honor.

Honor hasn't revealed how long the Magic V Flip is set to receive updates. The manufacturer is providing four OS version updates and five years of security patches for its brand-new foldable colleague, the Magic V3. However, the Magic V Flip is more likely to receive 2 + 3 years because it is a model for the Chinese market. At the time of testing in early September, the Magic V Flip received a software update that brought its Android security patches up to the status of August 1.

Although our import version is equipped with a Chinese ROM, English can be selected as the system language. The Google Play Store and Google Play services also work without any problems.

Sustainability

Honor hasn't provided any information on how many recycled materials are used in the rather large product packaging of the Magic V Flip or in the foldable itself. The same applies to its CO2 footprint. The manufacturer doesn't sell spare parts for the Magic V Flip to end customers. However, the foldable can be repaired directly by Honor.

Communication and GNSS - WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3

The Honor Magic V Flip supports Wi-Fi 6, but not 6-GHz Wi-Fi. In the 5 GHz network, its transfer rates in combination with our reference router Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 were up to 898 MBit/s, but they weren't particularly stable, which was especially noticeable in the sending direction.

The Magic V Flip finds a GPS signal super quickly inside buildings as well as outdoors and during our test, it located us with an accuracy of 3 meters. It also didn't suffer any major issues during our practical test. On an approximately 10-kilometer bike trip, it recorded our route practically just as accurately as the comparison device, a Garmin Venu 2 fitness smartwatch.

Telephone functions and call quality

There are two nano SIM card slots inside the Honor Magic V Flip, however, eSIMs are not supported. Aside from VoLTE, the foldable also supports WLAN calls.

The device offers good call quality and suppressed ambient noises quite well during our test. The call quality remained high even when using hands-free mode.

Cameras - Triple camera with 50 MP

Photo taken using the selfie camera
Photo taken using the selfie camera

The Honor phone uses a triple-camera setup. The 50-MP main camera sits inside the outer display and works using OIS and an aperture of f/1.9. Beneath this, there is an 8-MP ultra-wide-angle camera supported by AF with an aperture of f/2.2. The selfie camera is located in a punch-hole cut-out in the 6.7-inch display and uses a 50-MP lens with the Sony IMX816 image sensor (f/2.0).

In the Pro mode of the camera app, shooting parameters such as ISO, aperture and white balance can be set manually. There is also a high-resolution mode that lets you use the full 50 MP. By default, images are compressed to 12 MP using 4-in-1 pixel binning.

All-in-all, the photos look good. In good lighting conditions, the main and selfie cameras take sharp and detailed photos with a good color balance. However, colors sometimes have a tendency to look oversaturated and a little artificial. Zoom shots look okay as long as you don't zoom in too far. Poor lighting conditions quickly overwhelm the camera system. The low-light photos don't show much grain and are exposed pretty well, but they look quite washed out.

The ultra-wide-angle camera is the weakest lens of the camera trio. Its color balance is also good, but the level of detail in the photos isn't the highest and the edges are blurred. Even so, the ultra-wide-angle cameras of current foldable rivals are not much better.

All of its cameras record videos in 4K at up to 30 frames per second. The recordings are well stabilized, but for the best image quality, sufficient ambient light is again required.

Our practical impressions were confirmed under controlled lighting conditions. In optimal lighting, the main camera was able to expose colors precisely, even if the dark greens and turquoise tones were a little off the mark. In 1 lux residual light, it still managed to depict the test chart completely, but only blurred.

Accessories and warranty - 66-watt power supply included in scope of delivery

The included power supply.
The included power supply.

The Magic V Flip's scope of delivery includes a 66-watt power supply (11V/6A), a USB-C cable, a protective case as well as a SIM tool. The phone comes with a screen protector already installed onto its outer display and the same can be said for the main display, although you shouldn't try to remove this one.

If you purchase the foldable from our rental provider TradingShenzhen, then the phone is covered by a 12-month warranty.

Input devices & operation - Handy second display with an import flaw

Only a few apps can be used sensibly on the external display of our import version...
Only a few apps can be used sensibly on the external display of our import version...
... as most of the applications that can be displayed on the 4-inch screen are tailor-made for the Chinese market.
... as most of the applications that can be displayed on the 4-inch screen are tailor-made for the Chinese market.

The Magic V Flip's main display and outer display run at 120 Hz and depict content velvety smooth. Furthermore, they respond to touch inputs almost instantaneously and process them precisely. Both displays support an always-on feature. Their smooth operation is supported by a well-functioning vibration motor.

Thanks to its comparatively large 4-inch panel, working with the external display is not a fiddly affair, as the buttons are a comfortable size. The crease in the hinge area is barely noticeable and remains almost invisible during use. It is only really noticeable when the display background is black.

With its compact build, the Honor phone is very convenient when folded closed and its external display really comes into its own. The volume and power buttons remain easily accessible, but their positions are then reversed. However, this doesn't lead to much confusion because the volume rocker is slightly further away from the case than the power button, which additionally houses the fingerprint sensor. This sensor boasts reliable recognition rates and unlocks the foldable in no time at all. Alternatively, 2D facial recognition can be set up, which is then taken care of by the main camera or the selfie camera depending on its folded state.

For users who aren't proficient in Chinese, the Magic V Flip's user experience is unfortunately quite limited when it is closed. The majority of the apps shown on the external display are optimized for the Chinese market. English or German? Not available.

This reduces the availability of useful apps on the import version's external display to just over a handful—including the phone, camera, calculator, notes, weather and calendar apps, the music player and the Honor Health fitness app.

Sadly, it isn't possible to store and launch any apps on the outer display. You can only select them from a list of default applications. We therefore had no luck with apps installed after setting up the phone during our test, such as YouTube and WhatsApp. After we closed the foldable, the video playback stopped and the WhatsApp chat was no longer visible. We can only hope that Honor will offer more flexibility when it comes to configuring the external display if the Magic V Flip officially makes it to markets other than China.

Display - Two LTPO OLED panels at 120 Hz

Sub-pixel array main display
Sub-pixel array main display

The 6.8-inch 21:9 main display has a resolution of 2520 x 1080 pixels, giving it a high pixel density of 403 PPI. With an average of 1535 cd/m², the brightness we noted is record-breakingly high by foldable standards. Without an active ambient light sensor, you can expect up to 816 cd/m².

We measured a rather low PWM frequency of 120 Hz on the main display using the Rigol software, which may lead to problems for sensitive people. At the same time, however, the screen works with a special PWM dimming mode of 3840 Hz, which was confirmed in our measurements. Honor has also given the external display a high-frequency PWM dimming. It is stated to be 2160 Hz, which is close to the 1923 Hz which we measured.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 120 Hz
Amplitude: 20.2 %

The display backlight flickers at 120 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) .

The frequency of 120 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8747 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Thanks to its two OLED panels, the Magic V Flip delivers perfect black values. We took a closer look at the phone's main display using a spectral photometer and the analysis software Calman. In doing so, it showed very well-balanced image parameters. The color deviations are so small that they are imperceptible.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
0.64 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 0.3065 ms rise
↘ 0.3355 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 0 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).

This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.9 ms).

As a result of its bright displays, the Honor foldable can be used extremely well outdoors and the screens remain legible even on sunny days. We have nothing negative to say about their viewing-angle stability.

Cover display - big and bright

Like the main display, the 4-inch outer display with a resolution of 1200 x 1092 pixels uses an LTPO OLED panel and also runs at a frame rate of up to 120 Hz. It sets another record in terms of brightness. At 1559 cd/m², it achieved the manufacturer's specification of 1600 nits almost exactly during our test and therefore shines much brighter than the second screens of the comparison devices.

Performance - The Honor Magic V Flip with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

Honor's foldable relies on a powerful SoC that ensures high system speed in everyday use, namely the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. However, the processor in the Magic V Flip runs with the handbrake slightly applied, as it is limited to 3.0 GHz—the "open" version is normally 3.2 GHz.

Nevertheless, as the synthetic benchmarks showed, its performance was still sufficient to run at about the same level as the Oppo Find N3 Flip, which is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9200. The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra was slightly faster, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 5G outperformed all other flip smartphones.

Unlike its CPU, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1's Adreno 730 GPU isn't throttled inside the Magic V Flip, meaning that our test candidate came slightly ahead of the Oppo Find N3 Flip and the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra in the graphics benchmarks overall. However, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 5G still boasted an unbeatable lead.

Honor hasn't specified the storage type, but judging by its write and read benchmarks, it is probably UFS 3.1 flash storage. This means that the Magic V Flip has short loading times and ensures that apps can be opened quickly.

Games - High frame rates are the standard

Gaming is essentially a home game for the Honor. Even demanding games such as Genshin Impact run smoothly with high details. However, it can only manage a constant 60 frames per second in lower detail levels. In contrast, the less GPU-intensive PUBG Mobile can be played at maximum FPS, which is between 40 and 60 frames per second depending on the graphics settings. We determined the game frame rates with the Gamebench test tool.

Even so, the gaming fun is slowed down by the phone's high operating temperatures. If you hold the foldable in landscape format, the half of the smartphone where the second display is located can get very warm after a short time. At some point, it simply got too hot for us to play games.

Emissions - Hot SoC inside the Magic V Flip

Temperature

The Magic V Flip can get very hot during operation. We simulated the worst-case scenario with an hour of stress testing using the Burnout benchmark. We measured up to 47 °C on the surface in the area around the cameras. This is not only clearly noticeable, but it also feels uncomfortable to hold the device in this case. As the 3DMark stress tests revealed, the Honor smartphone throttled its SoC performance after a short time under load.

Speakers

The Magic V Flip delivers a fairly balanced and well-rounded sound for its slim case, even if you'll search in vain for bass tones within its sound mix. Overall, however, the two speakers do a pretty good job for a foldable smartphone.

External audio devices can be connected via USB-C or Bluetooth 5.3. The Magic V Flip only supports a few Bluetooth codecs, namely SBC, AAC, LDAC, aptX and aptX HD.

Battery life - The foldable with great stamina

Power consumption

The Honor foldable remained inconspicuous in terms of its power consumption measurements. Among the comparison devices, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 5G turned out to be the most energy-efficient.

Thanks to its capacity of 4800 mAh, the Magic V Flip's battery is quite large for a foldable. The Honor phone doesn't do things by halves when it comes to its charging speed either, as it can be charged at up to 66 watts via the supplied power adapter. A full charging cycle took 57 minutes during our test. The battery reached 70 per cent after 35 minutes and 85 per cent after 43 minutes. The Magic V Flip doesn't support wireless charging.
