Recently, Honor's first small folding phone, the Magic V Fli, was officially released. As a high-end model of Honor's mobile phone system, this new product has not only received top-notch technical support, but also innovated in many aspects. Including the industry's largest external screen, fashionable appearance, thin and light body, SLR-level writing machine and small folding longest battery life, it has gained a lot of attention in the high-end female market. This time, we have a detailed experience of this Honor Magic V Fli to see what surprises this "dream small giant screen" can bring to consumers.
Exterior design: The screen crease treatment has surprises and the visual and tactile sensation is eye-catching
The Glory Magic V Fli that I got started this time is a "camellia white" color, and the back adopts a matte + grain design. At first glance, it looks as white as snow, but the texture of the back is like the texture of blooming petals, and the feeling of silk flowing waves to the touch has formed a strong sensory impact on the visual and tactile senses.
At the same time, the frame design adopts a soft drill-cut straight edge middle frame, bringing a soft and straight edge visual appearance and a smooth and smooth curved screen feel.
This time, the Honor Magic V Fli adheres to the concept of "easy to use without needing to open", using a 4.0-inch screen with a resolution of up to 1200x1092, which is the largest size in the small folding mobile phone industry, which is very amazing. In order to make the front body more consistent, larger and more beautiful, the rear camera module of the traditional small folding mobile phone is not used, but the lower left corner camera design is more innovative, and the rear dual camera and the outer screen are perfectly integrated, which can avoid high-frequency use areas.
The design of the lens module is inspired by the ripples of raindrops of different sizes and the romantic flowers of southern France in nature, bringing a new design of ripples and double circles full of personality to the HONOR Magic V Flip, which can be said to raise the beauty of the small folding phone to a new height.
At the same time, this external screen introduces the flagship global low-power LTPO screen, which has the leading advantages of 0.1Hz-120Hz high refresh rate and low-power full-screen display.
After the fuselage is deployed, the Honor Magic V Fli has a 6.8-inch ultra-clear large screen, showing a slender fuselage. The screen resolution reaches 2520x1080. It has achieved more than 90% coverage of the BT.2020 color gamut, and has improved sharpness, peak brightness, and contrast in an all-round way. With industry-leading HDR display enhancement technology, it can accurately restore the details of video images. It is worth mentioning that this inner screen also uses the industry-leading Glory Oasis eye protection screen, which supports 3840Hz ultra-high frequency PWM dimming, providing users with an all-weather eye protection experience.
It's very thin and light. The Honor Magic V Fli measures 14.89mm folded and 7.15mm when unfolded, and weighs about 193 grams.
Thanks to the use of the Honor Luban hinge structure, the Honor Magic V Fli is eye-catching in the creases this time. Unfold the phone as flat as a straight-screen phone, greatly eliminating the gaps in the structural parts, and the creases are completely unfelt in daily use.
At the same time, the whole machine is also equipped with self-developed shield steel, because the screen is supported by steel foil, not only the crease is shallow, but also has the effect of impact resistance, ensuring the accidental damage that will occur when falling down.
I have to say that in the field of folding mobile phones, Honor did not adopt an overly "aggressive" market strategy, but made steady progress, and the main focus was to solve the pain points of user experience. From the release of the Honor Magic V2, the fashion flagship Honor V Purse and the Honor Magic Vs2, it can be seen that these three models can stand out among many folding mobile phones, relying on Honor's deep technical strength and continuous innovation spirit. The release of the Honor Magic V Fli once again confirms Honor's "extreme" product polishing.
In terms of more details, the Honor Magic V Fli uses the power fingerprint button, and the volume adjustment button is located on the right side of the fuselage. The bottom is equipped with a Type-C interface, and the left and right sides are SIM card slots, microphones, and speaker cutouts. The right side of the back has a tiny fill light. At the same time, the Honor Magic V Fli also comes with a 65W fast charging head and an all-white protective case.
Exterior screen experience: Dream of a small giant screen, fun and fashionable
As a mobile phone with both fashion and technology, the Honor Magic V Fli can be said to truly meet the needs of many consumers on the large screen this time. In the process of the experience, we have selected several common scenes to see how this dream small giant screen actually works.
For example, in our daily travel scenes, the small giant screen will become your commuting expert. Whether it's taking a taxi, driving, taking the subway, or riding a bicycle, we can open the navigation through the external screen. In particular, the walking navigation function, with the support of the giant screen, can achieve easy guidance for us and make full use of the outer screen of the small folding phone.
In daily leisure, we can also use the large screen to easily watch Douyin, catch up on dramas and even shop. At the same time, this giant screen also supports40+APP,Covering 80% of user usage scenarios,Whether playing games、Watching videos、Listening to music or social chat,You can use it without expanding your phone。 It is believed that with the continuous improvement of the "soft power" of the Honor Magic V Fli, it will support the operation of more APPs in the future.
In addition, the large screen of the Honor Magic V Fli tends to be the most eye-catching one among many phones. This small phone relies on a variety of themed wallpapers, which can not only be fashionable and versatile with users, but also meet the needs of versatile wear with the help of shell accessories. For example, the rich theme design of luxury watches and the Rubik's Cube not only supports gravity sensing, but also produces screen changes according to the direction of the grip, making the phone more interesting and interactive.
This time, Honor also teamed up with Zanmeng Lubi, which is popular among young consumers, to create a super cute theme, carefully reproducing the expression of life scenes for users. At the same time, it can also rely on the advantages of the large screen and the hovering advantage of folding, and it is very convenient to take group photos, Vlogs, DV photos and selfies at parties.
Performance and games: small models, can play and play, not inferior to the mainstream flagship machines on the market
In terms of hardware configuration, although the Honor Magic V Fli is a main fashion model, it is not inferior to the mainstream models on the market in terms of performance and experience. This time, the Honor Magic V Fli uses the Snapdragon 8+ flagship chip, the self-developed RF enhancement chip C1+ and the 4800mAh flagship Qinghai Lake battery, which supports 66W super fast charging.
In the daily experience, there is no pressure to use regular software applications and open more software. At the same time, because the screen has been enhanced for several generations, it can basically meet the needs of most users in terms of games.
In terms of games, we tested them in two games, "Honor of Kings" and "Peace Elite". In "Honor of Kings", through the actual battle, we can find that the game characters are very smooth in moving around and releasing various combos in the battle.
As you can see, the performance of the whole game is very stable. PerfDog software tests showed that the average frame rate in the match reached 60.4 fps.
In "Peace Elite", the Honor Magic V Fli is still smooth throughout the game, and there is no lag. I have to say that the Honor Magic V Fli has such a performance that is inseparable from the support of the MagicOS operating system. The system brings users more powerful performance, higher energy efficiency, and better stability.
In terms of battery life, the Honor Magic V Fli is equipped with a 4800mAh flagship Qinghai Lake battery, which adopts leading silicon carbon anode battery technology to achieve the perfect combination of high energy density and a thin and light body. It also supports 66W super fast charging, which can be fully charged in about 45 minutes, and can quickly replenish the power in a short time.

When it comes to imaging capabilities, the performance of the Magic series is also capable of playing in the Honor family. In terms of hardware, the main camera of the standard Honor Magic V Fli uses a 50 million pixel Sony outsole flagship main camera, and the front camera also uses 50 million pixels, which supports photo enhancement with a portrait engine and AI, group photo closure repair, edge distortion correction and other photography experiences.
As you can see from the outdoor samples, with the support of the 50 million pixel main camera, the overall imaging effect of the subject is remarkable, and both the color and details of the subject are restored very well. The color saturation is just right, neither over-enhancing nor avoiding color distortion.
In terms of wide-angle, the usual distortion on both sides is almost not distorted, and the imaging is still remarkable, making wide-angle photography essential for many users who like to use their mobile phones to record urban buildings.
In terms of indoor examples, the Honor Magic V Fli is even more prominent. Even in a low-light environment, the image quality is well guaranteed, not only the dark areas are bright, but the details are also better preserved, which can well maintain the basic image quality and better clarity.
At the same time, the Honor Magic V Fli also has a variety of modes suitable for portrait shooting. As you can see from the samples, the people are very natural and realistic. Facial detail is handled relatively well, and the imaging is comparable to that of a high-end DSLR camera.
It is worth mentioning that in outdoor night shooting, the Honor Magic V Fli can accurately restore the color of the sample with the support of the 50 million OIS blessing Sony outsole flagship main camera.
