What's impressive about the HONOR Magic V2 is how it can power through the whole day effortlessly, despite being super thin and light. This is thanks to its large 5,000mAh silicon-carbon battery.

Plus, it supports 66W fast charging, so that you won't have to wait long for the smartphone to be fully charged. 

3. It is super durable, and can fold more than 400,000 times

You can rest assured that the HONOR Magic V2 can withstand more than 400,000 times of folding, which has been certified by SGS. In addition, its external screen uses the second-generation Nanocrystal Glass, which is 10 times more durable* compared to a normal glass. The smartphone's screen has also been awarded the SGS Five Star Drop Resistance Certification.

*Data comes from the HONOR lab. The drop-resistant level is tested by comparing the second-generation nanocrystal glass with ordinary glass on carriers of the same weight. As a precision electronic product, a mobile phone is still at risk of damage if dropped. Please take care to avoid drops and collisions.

If you pre-order the HONOR Magic V2 now, you can enjoy free gifts worth RM3,247
