Honor’s Magic V2 foldable has just launched in China and the company shared the rather interesting design story behind the device. The centerpiece element of the design process is portability and it shows. The handset is considerably thinner and lighter than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 (10.1 mm vs. 13.4 mm when unfolded and 231 g vs. 253 g). Honor argues that according to their market research, consumers have portability at top of their priority list.
Let’s start with the innovative hinge design. It uses titanium elements, which boast higher rigidity, lower weight and anti-corrosion properties. The shaft cover is made of titanium, making it 150% tougher and 42% lighter at the same time.
When it comes to the hinge’s main body, though, it’s made of a special kind of steel used for tunnel boring applications. It strikes the perfect balance between durability and thinness, shaving off a few millimeters. This particular steel is 25% thinner and 20% stronger than the aluminum previously used for this application.
What’s more, Honor redesigned the hinge’s support structure and thanks to the steel and titanium combo, it allowed the company to reduce the depth of fold marks on the screen by 47%.
