Flip phone iPhone (HONOR Magic V Flip2) fans will love how the HONOR Magic V Flip2 blends fashion and power, featuring a 200MP AI camera and seamless iOS file transfer.
The flip phone is officially returned, and it is not only indifferent to fuel to return. Honor has just launched the Magic V Flip 2 in China, and it is a serious challenge in the clamshell foldable market. This is not just a minor fresh. Instead, it is an honor to create an adventure statement: a phone that mixes luxury fashion design with state-of-the-art technology, fixing all pain points that have haunted flip phones over the years.
We are talking about the best-in-class water and dust resistance (IP58 and IP59), the most invisible crease that you will find on the flip display today, and the largest battery in its category. It is luxury, it is fickle, and it is practical—and after spending a week with it, I can say confidently: this phone is more than just a beautiful face.
First impression: Premium meets nostalgia
When you first pick up the Honor Magic V Flip 2, it seems premium. It has a solid, confidence-preventional construction that you expect from a flagship, but with the additional attraction of a flip design. And let’s be real—a flip phone is never old.
The “Dreamvivor Blue” Rang Marg, designed by anyone other than Jimmy Chu, is a showstopper. Under bright light, the back panel shines like a gem. In Dimmer Settings, it gives a soft twinkling that looks fantastic without being attractive. The honor is clearly bent into the lifestyle of things, and it works beautifully.
Kaj is entitled to special mention. Made of aerospace-grade titanium alloy, it still looks smooth. Every open and close gives you that satisfactory click—almost addictive. Better still, the crease is practically invisible thanks to an ultra-thin glass (UTG) layer. Compared to other flip phones I used, this crease is the least distracting.
Cover Screen: Small but Mighty
One of the standout features is the front cover display. Unlike the small external screen of the initial flip phone, the screen maximizes every inch of the available space. The only obstruction is the dual camera lenses.
The interface feels like a clock, and the honor has ensured that it is just more than a gimmick. You can:
Pay quickly through WeChat and Alipay
Control music playback
Track fitness activity
Book a ride on the sister
More
Honor claims 99% compatibility with Chinese apps, which is a very big thing for users living in China’s unique software ecosystem. Although it remains to be seen how it will perform globally, the cover screen already feels practical, not just a novelty.
A phone that does not take itself very seriously
In fact, the Magic V separates the V Flip2; it is that it has a character. While many modern smartphones—especially Apple’s iPhones—go for minimalism and severity, respect is fun.
The Jimmy Choo version comes with an exclusive interactive wallpaper that matches its glamorous design. But the real star of the show? Honor’s new domesticated adaptation.
There are nine virtual pets to choose from, including
Tutu chipmunk
A white face Saki Monkey
A West Highland White Terrier
Even a lucky cloud
These pets are not just stable wallpapers. He is an interactive partner. Wave your hand or tap the screen, and they will start doing small animations—such as eating popcorn, dancing, or taking out lucky coins. It is strange, cute, and surprisingly addictive.
Camera Powerhouse with Ai Magic
Flip phones often compromise when it comes to the camera. Not here. The magic V flip2 packs 200MP main sensors with a large 1/1.4-inch size and optical image stabilization (OIS). It is effective alone, but the real secret weapon is AI integration.
What can the camera system do here?
AI Super Zoom: Up to 30x zoom operated by computational photography.
Ultra-wide portrait mode: perfect for group selfies without deformation.
AI editing equipment: one-tap options such as eraser by passers-by (removes random people in the background) and reflection remover.
50MP ultra-wide lens: coupled in the form of a macro camera for close-up shots.
Content creators and selfie enthusiasts will prefer the ability to use the main cameras while the phone is folded—unrestrainedly giving you a professional-level selfie with a high-resolution rear lens. Add a high-quality front camera, and you have one of the most versatile setups on any flip phone.
Beyond the camera
Honor is not stopping at photography. The magic V Flip2 is full of AI-operated utilities designed to make everyday use smart and smooth. Some highlights include:
Smart Answer: One-tap reactions that feel reference-sensible.
AI interpreter: real-time translation for global travelers.
Deepfake Detection: A tool aimed at identifying the manipulated media.
This clear respect wants this phone to exceed a fashion statement—it is also a productivity and safety tool.
Battery Life:
Battery life has always been the heel of flip phones. Slim design usually means a small battery. But the honor leaves the script here. Magic V Flip2 packs the largest battery in its class and shows it.
Even with heavy use—messages, social media, photography and stray
Software: Magicos meets iOS
The phone runs on MagicOS 9.0.1, and Honor has added some clever cross-platform tricks. One of the most interesting is a spontaneous file transfer with iOS devices. This is a subtle but important step. This reduces obstruction for iPhone users who may be eager to switch but do not want to lose ecosystem allowance. Smart moves, respect.
