Description:
Honor has debuted the Jimmy Choo-designed Magic V Flip 2, and it boasts some seriously impressive specs.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

In recent years, Honor has partnered with the likes of Moschino, Porsche Design , and Studio Harcourt on some of the best Honor phones , but the
brands latest fashion-forward collaboration is undoubtedly its sparkliest
yet.

Designed by the titular fashion designer, the Honor Magic V Flip 2 Jimmy Choo edition features a shimmering, glitter-coated rear panel and a metallic hinge embossed with Choos full name and academic title (thats Professor Jimmy Choo Yeang Keat OBE to you).

Honor says the phones limited edition color evokes crushed stardust scattered across a deep blue sea, which is perhaps the most celestial description of a smartphone Ive ever heard. But beyond its sparkles, the China-only V Flip 2
is a genuinely impressive rival to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 for multiple reasons.

On the outside, it boasts a familiar 4-inch OLED cover display with a 120Hz refresh rate, which is the same sort of cover screen youll find on both the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Motorola Razr Ultra 2025. Honors flip phone, though, gets a class-leading IP58 resistance rating, which means its slightly more resistant to dust than those two big-name models.

On the inside, the V Flip 2 sports what Honor describes as the most invisible crease of any flip phone on the market right now, and in our brief hands-on time with the device, this crease is indeed barely noticeable. It sits
between a 6.82-inch OLED display that offers a 120Hz refresh rate and a rival-beating peak brightness of 5,000 nits. Image 1 of 2 The Magic V Flip

In terms of performance, Honors latest foldable is powered by the Snapdragon
8 Gen 3 chipset, and it ships with up to 16GB of RAM, which puts it
in-between the latest Samsung and Motorola flip phones on the power scale
(the former uses an Exynos chipset and has a lower RAM capacity, while the latter uses the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and the same 16GB of RAM).

The V Flip 2 does, however, boast an amighty 5,500mAh battery, which is the largest ever in a clamshell foldable at the time of writing.

Honors latest foldable also boasts some pretty impressive cameras: youll get
a 200MP main sensor and a 50MP ultra-wide sensor, the first of which is unheard of in the flip foldable category.

So, even if the sparkly Jimmy Choo-ness of the Magic V Flip 2 isn't for you, it's hard to deny the phone's on-paper credentials. Honor has somehow managed to squeeze a class-leading crease, battery, camera, and resistance rating
into its latest foldable, and while its not available for purchase outside of China, it certainly takes the fight to the best foldable phones on this side of the pond.
