In recent years, Honor has teamed up with people like Moschino, Porsche Design and Studio Harcourt on some of the best honor phones, but the brand’s last avant-garde collaboration is undoubtedly the most sparkling to date.
Designed by the titular fashion designer, The Honor Magic V Flip 2 Jimmy Choo Edition offers a shimmering and scintillating covered rear panel and a metallic hinge in relief with the full name of Choo and the academic title (it is Professor Jimmy Choo Yeand Keat Obe to you).
Honor says that the limited edition color of the phone evokes “crushed Stardust dispersed through a deep blue sea”, which is perhaps the most celestial description of a smartphone that I have ever heard. But beyond its sparks, the Vlip 2 in China only is a truly impressive rival of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 – for several reasons.
Outside, it has a 4 -inch OLED cover screen familiar with a 120 Hz cooling rate, which is the same type of cover screen that you will find on the Flip Phone Galaxy Z and obtains an IP58 resistance rating of Honorola Ultra 2025, which means a little more resistant than these two large models.
Inside, the V Flip 2 sports what honor describes as “the most invisible fold of any rocking phone on the market at the moment”, and in our short practical time with the device, this fold is barely perceptible. It is between an OLED screen of 6.82 inch which offers a 120 Hz refreshment rate and a rival peak brightness of 5,000 nits.
In terms of performance, the last foldable of Honor is fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, and it is shipped with up to 16 GB of RAM, which places it between the latest Samsung and Motorola phones on the power scale (the first uses an exynos chipset and has a lower RAM capacity, while the latter uses the more recent RAM.
The V Flip 2, however, boasts of a battery of 5,500 mAh, which is the largest ever foldable at the valve at the time of the editorial staff.
The latest foldable in Honor also has fairly impressive cameras: you will get a main 200 MP sensor and an ultra-large 50 MP sensor, the first of which is unknown in the Flip foldable category.
So, even if the shiny Jimmy Choo-Ning of the Magic V Flip 2 is not for you, it is difficult to deny the identification information on phone paper. The honor has managed to press a fold, a battery, a camera and a resistance rating to the class base in its latest foldable, and although it is not available to purchase outside China, it certainly takes the fight to the best foldable phones on this side of the pond.
