- What's up guys?
Saf here on "SuperSaf TV"
and this is the brand new "Honor Magic VS",
the latest foldable from Honor.
Big thanks to Honor for getting this
to me super early and partnering
before this video.
This is one of my favorite foldable smartphones
and you'll find out shortly why that is.
Let's get it unboxed.
So inside the box you immediately presented
with the "Honor Magic VS".
But as well as that you get three individual boxes.
In the first box there is a sim card tool
as well as a cover for the back.
In the second box,
there is a USB type A to USB type C cable
and in the third box,
there is a 66 Watt Honor supercharge adapter.
Let's now get to the device
And here it is.
I think the first thing you'll notice is
just how compact this is for a foldable.
It weighs just 261 grams,
making it the lightest foldable
in the global market currently.
It's also just 12.9 millimeters thin
and it's got a symmetrical design.
You can see it curves off a little bit here
at the front and that also is reflected here
at the back making this really comfortable to hold.
It's available in three colors,
cyan, a black, as well as an orange gold.
And we've got this really nice texture
at the back which gives it a bit of grip
and also a two-tone finish.
You literally cannot get any fingerprints
on the back of this.
Now one of the reasons why the Magic VS is
so thin is because of this super light gear-less hinge.
This hinge uses single piece casting processing technology
which drastically reduces the number
of components from 92 down to just 46
while maintaining its durability and steadiness.
It's built with aerospace grade materials
and is able to withstand over 400,000 folds,
which is equivalent to more than 10 years
of use with 100 folds per day.
This also means that we pretty
much don't have a gap
in between the device as well.
And just the display, the gapless design,
you can actually put a piece of paper
in between the Magic VS and you're not going to
be able to pull it out easily.
Now you must have seen other foldables before
which do have a visible gap
and that not only makes the device thicker
but also means that you're going to
be getting more dust in to the main display
when you're getting it in
and out of your pockets.
This is not going to be a problem here
on the "Honor Magic VS".
Now let's take a look at the displays.
So the cover display is a 6.45 inch OLED display
with up to a 120 hertz refresh rates,
up to 1200 knits of peak brightness
and we have small bezels
without much of a border,
which really maximizes the screen area here
and it's a 21 by 9 aspect ratio.
Now my favorite thing about this display is
that you can use it as a regular smartphone.
You're not going to have to have a compromise.
We've seen other displays which are very narrow.
So on here the typing experience is very,
very comfortable and when you want a larger display,
you can just fold it open like so.
Now this is a large 7.9 inch OLED display
with a 90 hertz refresh rate
and 800 knits of peak brightness.
And you can see here that you get
so much more real estate.
If you're going to be watching videos,
you're going to be gaming, doing multitasking,
you're really going to be able to utilize
that extra space that you have
on this folding display.
Now we do have two front facing cameras.
We've got one here on the folding display
and one on the cover display.
Both are 16 megapixels.
You will be getting the same quality
out of both these whether you want to
just take a quick selfie
when the device is closed
or whether you want to take video calls
when the device is folded open.
And we have flagship level cameras on the back.
So we have a triple refacing camera set up.
The primary camera is a 54 megapixel camera.
It has the Sony IMX 800 sensor.
We've got a 50 megapixel ultra-wide camera,
which is going to give you lots of resolution,
but this also doubles up as a macro camera
so you'll be able to get high resolution macro images.
And then we've got an eight megapixel telephoto camera
which is going to give you up
to three times optical zoom,
which you can extend with digital zoom.
So a full flagship camera experience.
And we also have a flagship chip set.
This is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon eight
plus Gen 1 mobile platform.
So it's going to be able to handle everything
that you throw at it and you do have either eight
or 12 gigabytes of RAM with either 256
or 512 gigabytes of storage.
Now for the battery,
I was actually expecting this
to have a smaller battery considering
how light this is but you've actually
got a total of 5,000 milli amps.
That's a lot larger compared
to other foldables.
And of course,
we do get that 66 watt charger included
out of the box, which is going to be able to fill
up that 5,000 milli amps very quickly.
Now if we take a look around the device,
you'll see that we've got symmetrical stereo speakers,
one at the top, one at the bottom.
And if you do have this folded open
in landscape mode,
then these will be on the left and right.
And on the side we have the volume rocker as well
as a power button which doubles
up as a fingerprint scanner
and you can see how quickly this works.
And finally at the bottom,
there is the USB type C port.
Now for software, this will be coming
with Honor's Magic OS 7 out of the box,
which is based on Android 12.
For pricing and availability,
I don't have that information as yet
but I will be dropping some info down
in the description below.
And that is the "Honor Magic VS".
In terms of my opinions,
I think this really ticks the boxes
for what I need from a foldable.
I really like the front cover display.
This 21 by 9 aspect ratio means
that I can use this as a regular smartphone
on my day to day when it is closed.
But when I do want to have that
more immersive experience with a larger screen,
I can just fold it open and take advantage
of the 7.9 inch folding display.
