I don\u2019t want to get ahead of myself, but 2022 may be the year of foldable phones. Oppo launched the Find N last month, Google should debut a Pixel Fold soon, and Honor just announced the Magic V<\/a>, its first foldable.<\/p>\n

The Honor Magic V is a flagship device with flagship specs\u2014there\u2019s the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, 12GB of RAM, and a large 4,750mAh battery that charges at 66 watts. There\u2019s also a ton of high-res cameras, with three 50MP external lenses (main, ultra-wide, and a \u201cspectrum enhanced camera\u201d that we\u2019re asking Honor about), plus a pair of 42MP selfie cameras, one on the inside display and another on the outer display.<\/p>\n

But the most impressive thing about the Magic V isn\u2019t its specs. It\u2019s the small improvements that Honor made on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 design.<\/p>\n

One of our biggest complaints about the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is its narrow, cramped cover display. It measures 6.2 inches (very nice) but has an awkward 22.5:18 aspect ratio (terrible). Honor found a simple solution to this problem; it stuck a normal-sized, 6.4-inch 21:9 panel on the outside of the Magic V. (Like the Galaxy Z Fold 3\u2019s outer display, the Magic V\u2019s external screen supports a 120Hz refresh rate).<\/p>\n

There are some other exciting improvements here, like a 7.9-inch 10:9 internal folding display that should feel a bit taller than other foldable screens (unfortunately, this inner display is only 90Hz). And while the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is 0.62 inches thick, the Magic V is a thin 0.26 inches.<\/p>\n

Honor says it will launch the Magic V foldable in China on January 18th at a starting price of \u00a59,999 (that\u2019s about $1,570). Unfortunately, the company hasn\u2019t announced plans for a global release, so its up to Samsung (or another company) to build a phone like this for the market outside of China.<\/p>\n
