HONOR ANNOUNCES ITS THIRD FOLDABLE PHONE OF THE YEAR

Honor’s Magic VS2 is the former Huawei sub-brand’s third new foldable launch in four months, following the launch of the Magic V2 in July and the Magic V Purse last month. And that’s without counting the international launch of the Magic VS earlier this year. The Magic VS2 is not a total overhaul versus Honor’s previous devices. It’s ever so slightly lighter at 229 grams, but it’s also slightly thicker when folded at 10.7mm. Interestingly, it’s also running a previous-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor, while the V2 was powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Many of the phone’s other specs are similar to its predecessor. It still pairs a 6.43-inch external display with a 7.92-inch inner folding screen, it still has a 50-megapixel main camera and a 20-megapixel telephoto lens, and it still has a 5,000mAh battery that can be fast-charged at up to 66W. In reflection of its slightly lower specs, the Magic VS2 has a lower starting price than the Magic V2. Its entry-level version with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage starts at around $958. The device is expected to start shipping in October.
