HONOR Magic V2: A foldable technological marvel ushering in an era of precision.
HONOR’s new flagship device, the HONOR Magic V2, redefines the standard for foldable smartphones by prioritizing the essential elements normally found in traditional high-end devices. This ultra-light phone has been designed to offer unrivaled functionality and an elegant and sophisticated design. This set of elements makes it unique in the market.
Market research shows that the very thin form factor of a smartphone makes a big difference in consumer buying decisions. And in pursuit of maximum portability, HONOR has meticulously refined the product structure, manufacturing processes, and material selection for its new flagship smartphone, the HONOR Magic V2. This iconic device offers users a thin and light form factor, solving key industry challenges and setting a new standard for mobile innovation.
Ultra-light titanium hinge developed by HONOR: the first of its kind in terms of the use of new materials
new materials
For the first time, HONOR used a titanium alloy hinge cover, an aerospace grade material, and an innovative design that made it stand out among foldable devices. Titanium has the perfect balance between weight and strength, making it lighter than aluminum and stronger than steel. This material combines the advantages of ultra lightness, super strength and corrosion resistance, making it an ideal alloy for endless use.
After extensive testing and verification by HONOR’s R&D team, titanium alloy has been proven to be a superior alternative to other traditional materials when it comes to the hinge area cover. Compared to aluminum alloy caps, titanium caps have 150% more durability.[1]which makes this material a more desirable option when making a lighter foldable smartphone.
On the other hand, titanium alloy inherently has a higher melting point of 1650°C, more traditional hinge materials such as aluminum reach 650°C, which perfectly illustrates the durability and strength of HONOR’s new hinge system.
In addition, HONOR’s patented steel, an advanced material inspired by the steel used in tunneling and tunneling, has been expertly crafted for use in the HONOR Magic V2 Main Joint Body. This innovative material strikes the perfect balance between thinness and high strength, resulting in a light and strong construction that sets a new standard in performance.
This state-of-the-art material is 25% thinner and 20% stronger than its counterpart used in the HONOR Magic Vs.[2]. In addition, HONOR patented steel accounts for 67%.[3] hinge, and this material, combined with titanium alloy, ensures that the HONOR Magic V2 is made from durable materials that can withstand heavy everyday use.
advanced structure
The modernized design of the hinge support has been significantly improved compared to its predecessor: the thickness has been reduced by 75%.[4]and the depth of the folds is reduced by 47%.[5]. In addition, the unique element of the HONOR Magic V2 hinge is the “brake caliper”, whose motion damping structure is composed of seven sets of shock absorbers, three sets more than the previous generation, providing more stable and elegant handling with smooth opening and closing. Through the use of this component, the hinge provides smooth opening at different angles, improving usability for viewing photos, movies, conferences and other practical applications.
Another recent development from HONOR is the Micro-Lock, a connector made from HONOR’s proprietary steel. This tiny component is about the size of a grain of rice and 20 to 100 times smaller than its counterparts used in HONOR’s previous foldable smartphone. Lightweight and durable, this carefully crafted component is ideal for preventing screen movement and wrinkling for optimum performance.
In addition, in an effort to achieve maximum thinness of its devices, HONOR constantly improves its components, even those that are often invisible, such as screws. Inside the titanium alloy hinge, special short screws are used to minimize the height of the structure and not reduce the reliability of the mechanism.
In this case, the HONOR-designed micro-lock applied to the hinge component connections represents a breakthrough in craftsmanship. The combination of ultra-precise manufacturing techniques and durable materials effectively reduces the appearance of wrinkling resulting from screen movement. In addition, the industry’s most accurate and compact (0.75 x φ2.9mm) high-precision special nuts provide a unique solution for attaching hinge components. This innovative fastening design outperforms conventional nuts and optimizes the use of space inside the unit.
New architecture for more space and power
The traditional three-layer architecture of the display controller has been a major barrier to fitting large batteries into thin and light folding screen mobile phones. By introducing an innovative three-in-one display controller component, HONOR was able to take advantage of the extra interior space and house a 5000mAh silicon-carbon battery in the HONOR Magic V2. Packing a battery of this size into such a thin and light package is a testament to HONOR’s unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of technological innovation and engineering excellence in the right but difficult path to success.
HONOR VC Ultrathin Bionic Cooling System
Smartphones, especially those with powerful processors and advanced features, require efficient cooling systems to prevent overheating, maintain optimal performance and ensure a long service life. HONOR’s Bionic VC ultra-thin cooling system meets these needs with a layered approach. The cooling system incorporates advanced materials such as ultra-thin vapor chamber (VC), ultra-high thermal conductivity graphite, thermal conductivity, copper foil and high thermal conductivity AL intermediate frame. Despite the limitations of the device’s ultra-thin thickness, this innovative HONOR Ultra-thin Bionic VC cooling system makes the most of every inch, delivering exceptional cooling performance.
The Bionic VC is designed to mimic the natural thickness of a cicada’s wings and is an incredible 0.22mm thick.[6]. For its part, the entire refrigeration system has a cooling area of 29,000 square meters, a 12.5% increase compared to the previous generation.[7]making the HONOR Magic V2 stand out from the competition[8].
Surround Antenna Extension Technology 2.0
HONOR has succeeded in developing an ultra-thin antenna with a thickness of three millimeters, making it the thinnest in the foldable smartphone industry. In addition, this elegant design features a significantly increased antenna area of 10%.[9]compared to HONOR Magic Vs, offering the best overall antenna performance in the industry.
Summary
Through a series of improvements in hinge materials, craftsmanship and design, as well as an innovative cooling system design, and a series of sophisticated thinning techniques, the HONOR Magic V2 has achieved an exquisite thickness of 9.9mm.[10] and 231 g[11] weight. This outstanding feat is a testament to HONOR’s unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of materials and processes, demonstrating the company’s commitment to the pinnacle of design philosophy and intent through research, development and manufacturing.
The HONOR Magic V2 foldable displays not only compete with traditional flagship smartphones, but surpass them in elegance, lightness and thinness. This landmark achievement has ushered in a new era in the smartphone industry, heralding the foldable display as a game-changing innovation for generations to come.
