Honor V Purse Review Turning the foldable screen into a private space for users

【PhoneAuto Review】For Honor, this year is a crucial year in the foldable screen market, competing with giants like Huawei and Samsung. The Magic V2, launched in the middle of the year, has been loved by consumers worldwide for its extreme thinness. According to statistics, Honor Magic V2 has been the top-selling foldable screen product for four consecutive weeks, which has also helped boost the market share of the Honor brand. Data from third-party authoritative institutions shows that since July, Honor has been the market leader in China for four consecutive weeks, with a market share of up to 19.5%, ranking first among all brands. It is still in high demand and difficult to find.

As Honor’s third independent year, after accumulating strength in the previous years, this year also marks the realization of the final research and development results, including foldable screen products. If Magic V2 brings light to Honor in the darkness, then the Honor V Purse released today brings color to this light, with a variety of colors. There are not many manufacturers in the market that produce outward folding screens, and Honor’s entry into the market is not only a positive outlook for this market, but also its own technological confidence, with the belief that it can reshape the current situation of the outward folding market through its own technology. Sometimes people don’t understand what Honor means by “Duxing Zhiyuan” (which means “to persist in one’s efforts and strive for greater progress”), but this is actually the most authentic embodiment.

Honor V Purse, from technology to fashion, Honor is trying to let more people become familiar with and use foldable screens in a different way.

Honor’s foldable screen product this time has a very interesting name – V Purse, which means wallet, so Honor also calls it a wallet foldable screen. Unlike the naming rules of other industry competitors, such as X, Flip, etc., Honor’s naming is obviously refreshing. Moreover, Honor’s goal is to let consumers show off their V Purse, so it has also launched a series of fashionable phone cases and straps, forming a fashion ecosystem for foldable screens.

The design concept of Honor V Purse comes from Fangdeng Square, Fangdeng Arch Buckle, Fangdeng Gemstone Facet, and Nuso Decorative Texture, bringing an interpretation from architectural aesthetics to fashion symbols. Careful netizens will notice that the unfolding button of this Honor V Purse is specially designed. Overall, it looks like the buckle of a bag. With different patterns on the back screen, V Purse represents different styles of bags. It is hard to believe that there are female users who are not tempted. When the unfolding button is pressed, Honor V Purse also has a special prompt sound, full of ceremony. Currently, there are brand voices as well as the voices of all things and individuality that can be chosen. Users can select the sound they like.

On the far left is the large “HONOR” logo, which exudes a fashionable character. When you wear the Honor V Purse on your back, you will find that at this moment, the name of this bag is “HONOR”, which is a manifestation of brand confidence.

In the Honor V Purse, there is a folding screen area where you can set personalized back screens and side display functions. The bag styles we want to set can all be set here, and you can even customize pictures. The playability is very high, which is also the fashion secret of Honor V Purse. On the side, you can enter the text you want to display, further enhancing the fun. However, if it is worn diagonally, the text displayed on the side is mostly not visible most of the time. Only when you actually pick up the V Purse can everyone see it.

In fact, in the market of external folding screens, current manufacturers and products fold the back screen into a pure black background after folding. However, in the eyes of Honor, the back screen is also part of the screen. It can not only work when unfolded, but also play its role after folding. Therefore, the back screen of Honor V Purse has become a variety of bag styles that can change. Users can change it according to their mood or preferences, and can also create various designs.

In addition to fashion, Honor also explores the practical functionality of the back screen, which can achieve quick code scanning with a double tap on the back screen, and display double screen off, etc. The versatile and dynamic large screen is more than just fashion.

Honor CEO Zhao Ming mentioned at the IFA exhibition, “The current technological barrier for foldable screens is thinness”, “Thinness is the first technological force of foldable screens”. Indeed, since the birth of foldable screen phones, manufacturers have been exploring the path of being lightweight and thin, new materials, new structures, new technologies, etc. The Honor V Purse brings the world’s thinnest 8.6mm folding thickness, breaking the boundaries between foldable screen phones and flat-screen phones. Especially with the advantage of folding outwards, the thinness after unfolding may even cause many people’s pupils to tremble. This is the charm of the Honor V Purse.

Behind the thinness of the Honor V Purse is technological innovation. After achieving a thickness of 9.9mm with the Magic V2, Honor continues to explore further. The Honor V Purse achieves:

The debut of the Honor butterfly hinge, refreshing the record of thin hinges;

The debut of the Honor butterfly smooth biomimetic technology, making folding thinner;

The debut of the Honor self-developed filament structure, lighter and more durable;

The original four-axis and six-linkage design, smooth opening and closing, and a more flat unfolded screen;

The original micro-engraving concave-convex wheel, the precise damping structure further enhances reliability;

Using self-developed shield tunnel steel, the Honor V Purse has higher strength and a lighter body.

For ordinary users, they may not pay much attention to the technology behind thinness, but this is exactly the direction that manufacturers need to focus on. In such a thin body, Honor has incorporated a new generation of Qinghai Lake dual batteries, which are as thin as 2.3mm, even thinner than the battery of the Magic V2, and have a capacity of 4500mAh, effectively ensuring the battery life of the Honor V Purse, rejecting battery anxiety.

While being thin and light, the Honor V Purse has also passed the Swiss SGS dual five-star impact resistance certification for folding screens, as well as the Swiss SGS five-star drop resistance certification for the entire folding screen device, providing consumers with a reassuring user experience. For an outward folding screen, the safety of the screen being exposed all the time is what users are most concerned about. The dual five-star certification of the Honor V Purse proves the durability of this product, allowing consumers to use it with confidence.
