Honor Magic Vs Review – A Better Foldable Done Right
Source: Cashify
The Honor Magic Vs is establishing itself as a strong candidate in the foldable smartphone market thanks to its properly premium look, a fantastic set of cameras, and very decent battery life. It’s a solid-feeling, attractive folding phone with two large displays and a hinge mechanism that allows the phone to fold shut. With the main display of the Vs having a refresh rate of “only” 90Hz, there is already obvious room for improvement. Some features, such as IP rating as well as wireless charging, are lacking. I don’t believe Honor’s foldable will outperform Samsung’s Fold 4. However, Samsung should make note, while everyone else has a lot of catching up to do. In any case, the Magic Vs demonstrates that Honor isn’t content to merely exist in the market; rather, it is eager to push the boundaries and compete with the best and biggest foldables available.

Hands on: Honor Magic Vs review – affordable foldable king in the making?
Source: Techradar
Honor's second-ever foldable looks like a considered update on the original that's ready to take on a global audience. With the chipset at play, a staggered release might place it a little behind the curve when it does eventually arrive, but it looks as though it has enough clout and style to turn heads and steal some of the bigger players' thunder.

Honor’s Magic VS, even in prototype form, feels like a contender
Source: Engadget
Now, as I said, I can’t make any solid conclusions about this device, but what I can say is that I really think it’s worthy of a full review when it hits global markets early next year. And that there’s enough here to say that Honor may be making a very compelling case to be spoken about as a fair competitor to Samsung at the highest end of the Android space.

To sum up, the Honor Magic Vs can definitely be called the most powerful and perfect internal folding mobile phone at present. The self-developed hinge and 5000mAh large-capacity battery take into account both the thin and light body and strong battery life.

Honor Magic VS initial review: A no compromise folding phone
Source: Pocket Lint
There's no doubt that Honor is setting this phone up to be a no-compromise flagship folding smartphone. It's powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, has a beefy 5000mAh battery and a strong triple camera system without any low-resolution junk cameras. We think the big draw for this phone will be the big exterior screen that offers an experience very similar to a traditional smartphone. It's not skinny, narrow and cramped like Samsungs, and the hinge design means the phone shuts completely flush too, delivering quite a sleek footprint for a phone which is pretty big. Although it misses wireless charging and an official waterproof rating, the rest of this phone sets it up to be a strong performer and - providing Honor can optimise the software well - a genuine competitor to Samsung's flagship foldable.

80% Honor Magic VS hands-on review: one fine foldable
Source: Stuff TV
With properly premium looks, a great set of cameras and very respectable battery life, the Honor Magic Vs is shaping up to be a serious contender in the foldable phone world. Samsung should absolutely be taking note, and everyone else has some real catching up to do. It also proves Honor has successfully escaped the budget/entry-level niche it used to be pigeonholed in, and stepped out of the shadow of former owner Huawei. This is every bit the premium phone. There are a few missing features that would put it truly toe-to-toe with the Galaxy Z Fold 4, like wireless charging or a water resistance rating, but hopefully that’ll be reflected in the price. Honor has so far only confirmed Chinese customers can expect to pay ¥7499 (around £880), with a UK release to be announced early next year. That does mean by the time it lands we’ll likely have rivals with newer, more powerful CPUs – but as long as it can undercut other foldables on price, we don’t think that’ll stop you from seeing plenty of ’em in the wild in 2023 and beyond.

Honor Magic Vs hands-on review
Source: GSM Arena
Sadly, the Magic Vs that we had with us wasn't quite ready. That is to say, it was running a global variant of the Honor in-house OS with full Google Play support; it's just that it wasn't in a final, review-ready state. That was unfortunate, because we would have liked to explore it in more detail and run the barrage of tests we normally do, but that wouldn't have been fair on the Magic. We'll then reserve final judgment for when we get to experience a commercial-grade sample (there might be an 'if' in there too, we'll see). As it is right now, the Magic Vs is looking promising, that's for sure.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

This display size is a threshold between tablets and smartphones. Most tablets have larger screen diagonals but a lot of smartphones offer such a big screen.

Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.

This weight is typical for smartphones.

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).

82.4%: This rating should be considered to be average. This is because the proportion of notebooks which have a higher rating is approximately equal to the proportion which have a lower rating.
