Lightweight and Slim Design
The HONOR Magic Vs2 comes with a weight of only 229g. With this figure, this device pushes the frontier of foldable innovation in the foldable phone market. The HONOR Magic Vs2 is even lighter than its predecessor. The chassis is made of aerospace-grade rare earth magnesium alloy that is 33% less dense. It also covers 72% of the surface area underneath the display panel. This makes it the lightest inward folding mobile phone to date.
The Super-light Titanium Hinge, created using cutting-edge 3D printing technology, offers the ideal mix of weight and strength. The hinge has a gearless structure and a suspended waterdrop design. This ensures a smooth opening and closing experience, allowing for effortless hovering at varied angles.

The HONOR Magic Vs2 maintains its dedication to human-centric technology by including innovative features that maximise user comfort. The HONOR Magic Vs2 is effectively risk-free to the eyes. This is because it supports 3,840Hz PWM Dimming on both the outer and inner screens to reduce digital eye strain.
