HONOR, a global smartphone leader, has officially launched its highly anticipated Magic Series in Mzansi at a glamours event hosted in the North of Johannesburg. Those in the market for a new Android smartphone can prepare to be amazed by the ground-breaking HONOR Magic V2, the world’s thinnest and lightest inward foldable phone, and the HONOR Magic6 Pro, boasting the best on-device AI camera capabilities.

The HONOR Magic V2 sets a new industry standard for foldable phones. Measuring a mere 9.9mm and weighing just 231g, it’s remarkably thin and light compared to competitors such as Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 5, Oppo’s Find N2 Flip and Huawei’s Mate X3. This feat is achieved through HONOR’s innovative Super-light Titanium Hinge, made with proprietary steel and rigorously tested to withstand over 400,000 folds, translating to a lifespan of up to ten years. Durability meets cutting-edge design in this impressive device.
In addition, it boasts a 5,000mAh Dual Silicon-carbon Battery, perfect for busy professionals who need their phone to last all day on a single charge. And for photography enthusiasts, the Magic V2 comes equipped with a stellar 5-camera system to capture stunning visuals.

The HONOR Magic6 Pro takes a different approach, focusing on camera tech powered by next-generation AI. According to HONOR, the Magic6 Pro has achieved a Gold DXOMARK score of 158 points, placing it among the top camera phones in 2024. It also reportedly leads the pack in battery, selfie, and display categories. However, independent testing will be crucial to verify these claims.
The Magic6 Pro’s AI focus extends beyond the camera. The phone introduces the Magic Portal feature, allowing users to streamline tasks by dragging and dropping text, pictures, or files to designated screen edges. This feature promises one-click access to various services like navigation and social sharing.
Consumers looking to experience the HONOR Magic Series can find the Magic V2 (Black with vegan leather back) and Magic6 Pro (Epi Green and Black variants) at selected network providers. The Magic V2 retails for R39,999, while the Magic6 Pro starts at R27,999.
