SuperGeek in China.- One of the benefits of being in Shenzhen knowing the HONOR “headquarters” is the possibility of test newly released devices in China and that have not even been announced for global sale, as is the case of the HONOR Magic V Flip that we have been able to have in Asian lands.
In this initial approach the team has left us pleasant impressions starting for his external display that uses all available space even surrounding the cameras, which undoubtedly separates it from the competition. And be careful, we tested it with several applications and it works, that is, it is not limited to just one specially adapted one and it also allows you to use these 4 inches split delivering information such as time and weather in a narrow part and a running app in the wider part.
When we open it we have a fold that practically goes unnoticed And I think that It is the folding of this type that is least noticeable, this considering the ones that have passed through my hands (the Galaxy Z Flip from Samgung, the one from OPPO, the one from vivo, the one from Nubia and finally the one from Motorola). Of course, I make it clear that it could well be because it is a device with practically no use yet and with the passage of time the brand could become more noticeable.
The screen has excellent resolution and demonstrates the great progress that there has been recently in terms of folding screens, since in the case of the HONOR Magic V Flip we are talking about one of 6.8 inches with 1.5K resolution and a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz, so it runs like silk.
Regarding cameras is above the Samsung foldingthis thanks to his 50MP main and his 12MP wide angle and also obtains better results than the Korean in the section of selfie with its 50MP camera. Here he left his results in the same order that we just wrote.
There may be a drawback due to the processor used by the Magic V Flip since it is a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 which was presented almost two years ago, and It falls below the 8 Gen 2 from the same Samsung team and the same will surely happen when the Z Flip 6 hits the market next July.
However, it must be said that in the area of performance, A two-year-old processor like this one is perfect for performing on computers like this one.especially considering that the advance between one chip and the other is very low and that this type of folding is not precisely made to stand out in terms of power, but rather responds to something more aesthetic.
We close with the battery section, where its 66W fast charging for a 4,800 mAh battery once again positions it above other Flip alternatives on the marketkeeping the title of largest charge and largest battery in a foldable of this type and note that it does include the charger in the box.
All of the above gives us a team very acceptable that immediately makes us think that Samsung will have to do something more to not be threatened immediately by the new HONOR device that in its first version is already above the three previous South Korean Flip models.
