This is HONOR's latest foldable phone it's called The Magic Vs and it just launched in China and
I've sent this out to me to give you a Hands-On and first impressions of the hardware side of
things with the new foldable phone here from honor so it has a battery capacity 5000 milliamp hours
which is the largest now in a foldable phone and a weight if you get the vegan leather version of
just 261 grams also making it the lightest there so the screen here is a 90 Hertz 7.9
inch screen OLED the inner screen and then the outer screen that is 6.45 inches so it does come
nicely presented in this box so lifting up the lid here you'll see that we do have the magic vs
of course it's open in the open State as they ship all foldable phones there that's just the way they
come they like to ship them out and have them open so lifting that up underneath here you will find
the accessories in this little box here we have the charger it does use honors supercharge which
is 66 watts and it will take just 46 minutes to fully charge the 5000 milliamp hour battery the
USB cable which is a type A to type c cable up the top here we've got our SIM tray tool and the case
so there's the SIM tray tool and the case is one of those ones there which does have an adhesive to
it so it sticks onto the back and will give some protection around the edge of it and in the back
of it the material very nice you can see it's got honor right there so this is a synthetic leather
style material here really good build quality with this case and there's a raised lip here to protect
that camera module so first thing you notice about this phone that when you're holding it
for a foldable very good weight 261 grams making it the lightest foldable out there at the time
of this video at least so we've got our spine on the back here this is metal metal frame all
around the outside and this is rounded here so in hand it feels good got the to the glass right here
so this screen the outer screen here is a standard size so 6.45 inches OLED both of the screen's OLED
this outer one is 120 hertz the refresh rate and we're looking at a 90 screen to body ratio it's
also super bright 1200 nits and 431 PPI so it's really sharp to look at very nice display here
too so we have a built-in 16 megapixel camera there at the top just a little bit hard to see
but it's right there okay you can just see it now and really like it so the middle frame around the
outside means it just feels really high quality here so we have a capacitive always on fingerprint
reader here side one so it's also doubling as the power button unlocking with this is excellent
okay very fast very accurate middle volume up and down buttons and the frame here just looks good
you can see those antenna lines down the bottom you'll see one of two of our loudspeakers our SIM
tray there does take two Nano serums so there's no micro SD card support microphone and video
out from this type c Port 2 which is excellent and you'll see when it's fully closed there's no
ugly gap so this is brilliant there's no horrible Gap in there so but some material dust and stuff
is going to get in there when you open and you close it and I'll show you more of this soon it's
how by magnets to keep it closed it feels really nice this hinge so that is it closed now and yeah
no Gap whatsoever up the top here you'll see the other speaker IR transmitter secondary mic there
for noise cancellation with voice calls that's cost used with our cameras speaking of which the
camera is here on the back I like the design of this camera module so the glass here is curved
on the side so when you're holding it it feels a little bit more comfortable and it's a bit of a
mirror here too you can see a few smudges and fingerprints which is pretty normal there too
so with the cameras here the main camera is an IMX 800 so that is a Sony sensor with an F 1.9
aperture 54 megapixels an ultra wide camera which is 50 megapixels it does also double as a macro
camera F 2.0 which is great and then a three times Optical camera which is 8 megapixels so excellent
in the camera Department there then opening it up there's a bit of resistance here because of
the magnet so you need to apply a little bit of pressure to open it which is good that means the
screen zone is going to open up by itself and you see now this display looks absolutely stunning so
you get super deep blacks in fact the colors on both of the screens are really good we got DC
I Dash P3 wide color gamut coverage with these screens so that's 1.07 billion colors that they
can display so 90 Hertz with this screen we have the 120 on the outer screen and being 90 Hertz I'm
not actually bothered by that at all because it's battery saving for me it's going to give us really
good battery life which I'll go into of course in the final review and I'll show you a lot more of
the screen so we do have a 16 megapixel camera you can just see there cut out style so it's
not an under display camera which I prefer it's not because those always have a bit of a blurred
quality to them and at least here we're getting a normal quality camera being like that now this
mechanism just wanted to talk a little bit about that that it's uh it's a very lightweight so they
put a lot of effort into reducing the weight in the hinge mechanisms there's no gears in there
in fact but you'd never know it feels really good very smooth now it doesn't have a spring loaded
feel to it in fact if I just leave it you'll see that that's where it's going to sit so whatever
I do it's just going to be like that it's not going to Spring itself open which is good and what
about that crease I know everyone's going to ask that okay you can see it there a little bit and
yes you do feel a slight bit of and yeah it drops down by approximately I would say a millimeter or
something like that or even under you you barely even notice it at all it does seem better than
the Z fold for to me with this and what I really like is the fact of course that when you close
it the screen sits absolutely flush there and you can't see any Gap no Gap there whatsoever in fact
it is that's more the Gap that I think everyone's doing this test okay so you put a bit of paper in
there it's going to hold it it's there because nothing can get in there and I can't just push
a bit of paper between there which is good because competitors like that Galaxy Z fold 4 with a big
gap in it you get that when it's in your pocket it all falls up for the dust you get a lot of
dust inside the screen I know that having owned one but it's not going to happen here because the
way it seals around with the magnets there and the screen isn't touching itself so when it's folded
okay it's not actually the screen is going to be pressing up against the other screen no it is this
little slightly raised lip around the outside and it gives that very satisfying noise too when you
close it I do like that and that magnet to it so it's how close doesn't rattle and yeah that hinge
is feeling really good the magic vs hardware for me is stunning here it's premium absolutely superb
build quality to it and the finish of everything and yet they still managed to fit in here a 5
000 milliamp hour battery well in total 5 000 milliamp hours because it's split between of
course the two sides and yet it's only that 6.1 millimeters thin which is absolutely amazing
so we do have the of course the 66 watt honor superchargers I mentioned so the charge time is
46 minutes that's it even though it does have that larger capacity so not bad again that's
faster than Samsung with their charge times and they've got a smaller battery in their Z fold four
so first impressions just with the hardware here is it is stunning very nice so folding mechanism
big thumbs up from me the weight of it if you do happen to get the vegan leather version then
it will be the 261 grams this model that has the glass on the back of it it is 267 grams so
it's only six grams heavier but doesn't make it thin the lightest but it's the vegan version it
is and I love how thin it is a 6.1 millimeters when you have it fully opened and you got that
more immersive 7.9 inch screen here OLED 90 hertz compared to the competitors which are slightly
smaller the more practical outer screen very nice to use because it's 12 by 9 aspect ratio it's not
too thin not too narrow a basic normal phone size there so camera samples battery life software
performance software features benchmarks camera samples will all be coming when I do get the final
software and that will be early next year with the global release so do please stay tuned for
that subscribe and I hope to see you back with the final review the full review of The Magic vs
here from honor thank you so much for watching this early preview Hands-On of the hardware
