MWC 2024 Innovation Spotlight: Honor V2 RSR Porsche Design
Sponsored content
With the concept of folding smartphones firmly entrenched in the public consciousness, the next level of the game is to iterate further on the concept in new and interesting ways. At the MWC 2024 event in Barcelona, mobile tech company Honor showcased its particular spin on the folding phone idea with the unveiling of the Honor Magic V2 RSR. Not only does this next-gen smartphone boast a new kind of folding framework, but that framework is bolstered in the style department by a partnership with luxury car manufacturer Porsche, earning it an Innovation Award from us here at SlashGear.
The design of the V2 RSR is reminiscent of Porsche’s sleek and stylish automobiles, utilizing flyline-like curvature in the body and camera porthole. It almost looks like you took a door from a Porsche car and turned it into a smartphone. In an effort to preserve that impeccable style, the screen of the device utilizes Honor’s proprietary Nano-Crystal shielding, making it ten times more resistant to scratches, drops, and general wear and tear.
Compact in size, but not in power
Compared to other folding smartphones, which fold down vertically to about half the size of a typical device, the Honor Magic V2 RSR is about the width of two smartphones, folding together to the width of one horizontally. You can use the outer screen while the phone is folded, then unfold it and switch to the inner screen for higher resolution. If that sounds like it would make the phone chunky, it doesn’t; the device is only about 9.9 millimeters thick when folded, down to 4.7 millimeters when unfolded. In this way, you can have twice the fidelity of most smartphones without filling up your entire pocket with it.
Speaking of fidelity, the Magic V2 RSR packs OLED displays on both the inner and outer screens with a resolution of 2344×2156 on the former and 2376×1060 on the latter. These displays are powered by a top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU and an Adreno 740 GPU. All of this is juiced by a 5000 mAh battery for consistent all-day usage.
Pre-orders for the Honor Magic V2 RSR are open now on the brand’s website, with delivery slated for March 18. The device is available in China, the United Arab Emirates, and Europe, priced at £2349.99.
