Honor has launched its Magic 6 Pro and Magic V2 flagship smartphones in South Africa, available in stores from 2 April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both feature state-of-the-art technical capabilities, with the Magic V2 claiming the title of the thinnest and lightest foldable smartphone in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Magic 6 Pro then boasts the world\u2019s best smartphone camera, according to DXOMARK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Magic Series redefines industry standards as every bit of technology embedded in these devices has been developed and tested by Honor,\u201d said Honor South Africa General Manager Fred Zhou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis means we can guarantee these smartphones are like nothing you\u2019ve seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Honor Magic V2 is the thinnest and lightest foldable phone yet. It is 9.9mm thick when folded, and weighs 231g.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This slim design is paired with a refined black colour and vegan leather back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honor has also focused on durability for the new smartphone, using a unique Super-Light Titanium Hinge which can withstand over 400,000 folds. This is the equivalent of over 10 years of use at 100 folds a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photographers will enjoy the Magic V2, too, thanks to its five-sensor camera system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three sensors in the primary camera system, and two front-facing cameras you can use when the Magic V2 is folded or unfolded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary camera includes an 8×8 dToF Laser Focusing System that uses real-time data to improve accuracy and focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Magic V2 has a recommended retail price of R39,999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honor Magic 6 Pro<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Honor Magic 6 Pro stands out in its segment thanks to its camera array and generative AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is delivered through a Magic Portal feature that generates custom shortcuts for each user based on their activity patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Magic Portal also lets you drag messages and images to the screen edge, triggering a wide range of services – including online searches, integrated shopping features, and social sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support these features, the Magic 6 Pro packs all of the important performance features you would expect from a flagship device \u2013 including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 gen 3 processor, 12GB RAM, and 512GB of storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avid photographers will also be impressed by the Magic 6 Pro\u2019s AI-driven Falcon Camera System, which provides unmatched motion capture functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This system is headlined by a 180MP Periscope Telephoto camera, and is the top-rated smartphone camera on DXOMARK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Magic Pro 6 will launch with a recommended retail price of R27,999 in Epi Green and Black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
