The HONOR Magic V2 features a first-of-its-kind Super-light & extra hard Titanium Hinge, which provides the perfect balance between weight and strength. HONOR’s SGS certified proprietary steel has been expertly created for use in the hinge’s main body of the HONOR Magic V2, providing added robustness and durability to the hinge mechanism. Thanks to these breakthrough innovations, the HONOR Magic V2 earned the coveted durability certification from SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance) ensuring the hinge to withstand up to 400,000 folds, which gives it a minimum lifespan of ten years when folding the device 100 times a day!
