Honor Magic Vs

Honor Magic Vs Battery test
Source: DxOMark EN→zh-CN
Although the Honor Magic Vs battery’s global score was below average, its battery results were quite good for a foldable device. The Magic Vs slightly outperformed other foldables in our database in autonomy and showed a significantly better charging experience. When used moderately, the Honor Magic Vs provided a decent 2 days of autonomy, which is below average but slightly better than the other foldable devices we tested. The autonomy when calling and streaming music was also decent. However, usages such as streaming videos, using the camera, and gaming, which were tested unfolded, drained the battery quickly, resulting in below-average autonomy. The Honor Magic Vs came with a powerful 66W charger that provided a good charging experience. It took less than 30 minutes to charge 80% of the battery capacity, and 1 hour and 13 minutes to reach a full charge.

80% Honor Magic Vs review: A full-sized foldable bargain
Source: Expert Reviews EN→zh-CN
The Honor Magic Vs isn’t the very best full-sized foldable on the market, but it takes some calculated risks in order to offer an alternative. It’s in the same ballpark as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 in a number of key areas, including design, display(s) quality, and performance, but for several hundred pounds less. Its best features relate to the way it feels while closed, with a relatively slim build and a gapless hinge. The external screen, meanwhile, is technically the better screen of the two. Perhaps the main concern is that Honor’s approach falls somewhat between. If you’re willing to spend £1,400 on a phone, you’re presumably expecting the very best, or close to, of everything. You simply aren’t getting that here, with glaring omissions such as wireless charging and an IP rating.

70% Honor Magic Vs Review: Shy of Perfection
Source: Phandroid EN→zh-CN
As far as foldable Android phones are concerned, the Honor Magic Vs does enough to keep it from settling down at the bottom of the foldable handset market, thanks to a premium design, competent software, and a specs sheet that won’t leave you scratching your head. While the device is more suited for content consumption and productivity, that doesn’t mean that other factors such as camera performance are left in the dust. There are considerations to keep in mind, however – the lack of any IP rating might be a turn off for more meticulous users, as well as the visible crease in the display which lacks any specialized protective glass of some sort. It’s in areas like these where it is trumped by the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, which features IPX8 certification, and additional input functionality by way of S-Pen support.

Honor Magic Vs Display test
Source: DxOMark EN→zh-CN
The Honor Magic Vs display provided good brightness in indoor and low-light conditions, which makes it ideal for looking at pictures or social media. But in outdoor conditions, the device’s readability was affected by the screen’s middle crease, where reflections were intrusive compared to the competitors. The main screen’s performance was less satisfactory when gaming because of the lack of smooth interactions and because of visible aliasing of images. Additionally, the device, as many other foldable phones, was affected by the jello effect: when scrolling down a slight lag is perceptible between the right and the left sides of the display. The display’s colors were rendered well, the device provided good color uniformity, and the angular color consistency was satisfying. Although the device lacked some brightness when watching HDR10 videos, its HDR10 tone mapping was impeccable. The Honor Magic Vs was the first foldable with a (nearly) flicker-free display that has been tested so far by DXOMARK.

Honor Magic Vs Audio test
Source: DxOMark EN→zh-CN
The Honor Magic Vs delivered a good performance in the DXOMARK Audio tests. For a folding device, the results were particularly impressive in recording, thanks to very effective background noise cancellation and a very good audio zoom. However, our testers found the Honor to be sensitive to wind noise, and sonority could be slightly underwhelming in both playback through the built-in speakers and recording. In playback, the Honor Vs achieved the best results when used for listening to music but also did very well as a gaming device or when watching videos and movies. Audio recordings were most impressive with the main camera app, but the front camera’s and the memo app’s audio quality was not far off.

60% Honor Magic VS review: foldable perks, foldable quirks
Source: The Verge EN→zh-CN
I suspect there may be two kinds of people out there who might consider buying the Honor Magic VS. The first are the people who definitely want a foldable and who are considering saving some money by going with the Magic VS over the Z Fold 4 (or, indeed, the upcoming Google Pixel Fold or Z Fold 5 that Samsung is expected to announce this summer). The second are people who wouldn’t normally consider buying a foldable but who are tempted by the more affordable price of the Magic VS. I’d struggle to enthusiastically recommend the Honor Magic VS for either group. If you’re already sold on the idea of a foldable, I think it makes sense to pay for the higher level of polish of Samsung’s product. And if you haven’t been convinced by foldables in the past, I don’t think the Magic VS does enough to overcome their historical limitations to be convincing. The Honor Magic VS might be a more affordable foldable option. But when you’re priced at £1,399, “more affordable” isn’t the strongest argument.

So there you have it my review of the Honor Magic Fold Vs. This is an important phone for Honor as mentioned as it is them making a statement that they want to play in the Foldable market on the global stage (the previous Magic V was a Chinese-only release) and they have come out strong and also undercut their rivals in the space in doing so. However, I do feel that whilst the hardware is something for the most part I prefer, with the exception of the hinge mechanism which is too prone to unfolding when you don’t want it to, there is til work to be done on software. Honest ly this conclusion surprises me as i thought that i would prefer the implementation of the more clean Ui over what is offered by Samsungs One Ui on the Z Fold 4.

The Honor Magic Vs feels like it has arrived a little too soon, yet I first used the phone in November 2022, so this isn’t a brand new device that has just this moment come to life. Unfortunately, the software feels unfinished, only the main camera takes good photos, the battery life is only decent when you don’t push the phone too hard, and not all apps are optimized for the big screen. The Magic Vs is here, but it probably needed a little more time in the lab. It’s unfortunate. The hardware is impressive, and the overall design looks excellent. But it’s hard to avoid the lack of dust resistance, wireless charging, and a hinge that doesn’t immediately lay flat. I had high hopes for the Honor Magic Vs when I first tried it, but after using it every day for several weeks, it has not managed to capitalize on this early goodwill.

The Honor Magic Vs is an impressive foldable phone, and a notable step up in quality from the first-gen Magic V. The hardware is slick, with a slim body and secure hinge design, and this base look and feel definitely trumps Samsung’s offering. Faster charging and more powerful rear cameras give the Magic Vs an extra edge. But in a phone at this price point, the lack of software polish is a major drawback – and features like waterproofing and wireless charging look like unacceptable omissions. Honor hasn’t quite beaten Samsung at its own game – but it gets kudos for being the only company brave enough to try.

Honor's second-ever foldable looks like a considered update on the original that's ready to take on a global audience. With the chipset at play, a staggered release might place it a little behind the curve when it does eventually arrive, but it looks as though it has enough clout and style to turn heads and steal some of the bigger players' thunder.

Source: Stuff TV EN→zh-CN
With properly premium looks, a respectable main camera for a foldable and convincing battery life, the Honor Magic Vs could be a contender in the folding phone world. Samsung should be taking note, and everyone else has some real catching up to do on the hardware front. It also proves Honor has successfully escaped the budget/entry-level niche it used to be pigeonholed in, and stepped out of the shadow of former owner Huawei. Its secondary snappers are weaker, though, and even the main sensor can’t compete with similarly-priced traditional phones for quality. Honor has work to do on the software front. The last-gen processor only gets a short shelf life before the competition arrives with newer silicon – albeit at a higher price – and there are a few missing features we’d expect from such a premium product, like wireless charging and water resistance.

Honor Magic Vs 5G Unboxing
Source: Cool Smartphone EN→zh-CN
I do prefer the feel of the slightly wider folded phone and using it in this way feels more natural than on the Fold 4, the differences in terms of hardware are not so apparent when you unfold it though as the Fold 4 uses this mode better in terms of software and that outweighs the benefits of the reduced groove in the middle of the display. I have had a few days of use of the Magic Vs under my belt by the time I have written this and i will say that there are some big differences here and they will be what really makes or breaks this as an option for me especially as i have been living with a 4th gen product for some time now. I will also be getting an update on the pricing ad availability of the Honor Magic Vs 5G in the UK soon which I will share with you very soon. if you are thinking of getting a folding phone then watch this space as things are about to get more interesting and the Honor Magic Vs 5G is going to play a big part in that.

As of writing this HONOR Magic Vs Review, it will not be made available here in the country. I’m hoping this will change in the near future; even if the local arm of the brand just decides to do a very limited number of sales because having more options will be better for consumers and will breed even more competition for the brands, which again makes the consumer ultimately win.

The Honor Magic Vs' presence in the global foldable phone market is overall a net good, since Samsung has had little meaningful competition outside China for years now. But by debuting a phone designed for 2022 in 2023, the Magic Vs is already looking a bit behind the times. Two things you can't take away from the Honor are its lower price among foldables and great build quality (hinge peculiarities aside). Both qualities will remain strengths, even after the next Samsung and Google foldables appear. Hopefully the Honor's battery life lead will remain intact, too, but I don't hold out hope for its cameras or performance to stay competitive. I don't recommend rushing to buy the Honor Magic Vs if you do happen to be living in Europe (especially since it's not on sale yet). It's likely best to wait a few months and see what the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Pixel Fold have to offer when they arrive. But if you're after a foldable phone now, particularly if it'll be your first one, the Magic Vs feels like a great way to bridge the gap.

Any scepticism I had about the future of foldables has well and truly dissolved after using the Honor Magic Vs. The phone’s premium build never left me with any worries where durability is concerned, and I’ve come to appreciate having the larger screen to hand when I want to dabble in a bit of work or catch up on the latest must-watch TV show. Even though the Magic Vs is reasonably priced against the competition, particularly for the specs you get, it still requires a serious investment and unless you envision making the most of its design, it’s difficult to recommend to the majority of people over a traditional handset. There’s also room for improvement where software is concerned, but this feels like more of an issue facing the foldable market at large. Still, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Honor Magic Vs, and if you’re looking to take the plunge into the world of foldable phones then Honor’s handset is a great place to start.

70% Honor Magic Vs 5G Review: Magic Hardware And Missed Opportunities
Source: Slashgear EN→zh-CN
Overall, this is a second-generation product that still feels a bit like a first-generation product. Honor spent a lot more time focusing on the hardware of this phone and probably not enough on the software side of things. It's like buying a 95-inch TV without bothering to subscribe to cable or streaming services. Sure, you can watch TV over the air but ... you're missing the point. I absolutely love the hardware on this phone. It is so good, and the fact that the gap is just flat-out gone is amazing. The design on the back of the phone is a sparkly matte finish with a fun-shaped camera bump. All of that is great, but the software has a long way to go before it's on the same level as, say, a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, and the price needs to be lower. But this phone is competition for Samsung which is hugely important. Samsung has virtually owned this space, at least in western markets for years, so it's exciting to see a very good competitor slot in at number two. Plus, the issues that the Honor Magic Vs suffers from can very easily be addressed going forward with updates, so I'm happy to say, "Honor, you have my attention." In some ways, that's enough.

The Honor Magic Vs is an impressive piece of technology at the same level of system performance, design excellence, display quality, and camera performance as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, its nemesis. The slight difference in our rating is justified by the absence of water resistance which is important for any device above $1500, and a better user experience for productivity and multi-tasking found in the Samsung device. The Honor device certainly feels thinner and more agreeable to hold in the hand than the Z Fold4, with a better camera, for 200 euros less.

There's a lot to like about the Magic Vs and a lot that you'd think Honor should have gotten right for its second-gen foldable, but it hasn't. Key among the missed opportunities is the lack of true camera functionality on the cover display in the unfolded state - this way the Magic sacrifices one of the major selling points of the form factor. Sure, the inherent advantages of a large display in a physically small device are there and productivity is reasonably well taken care of in the software, but we want our rear-camera selfies! The Galaxy is ahead here. There are also a couple of features missing which are normally not to be expected from a handset of this kind, but the benchmark that the Honor is measuring up against has them, so they're hard to overlook. We get that Honor was going for lightest with the Magic Vs, but how much heavier would it have been with a wireless charging coil inside? Water resistance is probably tougher to achieve, likely more so from a warranty and after sales perspective than the actual sealing, but in the end the Honor isn't rated for it.

Honor is the first to challenge Samsung in the foldable segment outside China, and the Magic Vs gets a lot right. The design is absolutely gorgeous, and the large outer screen makes it much more usable than the Z Fold 4. The hinge is lighter and feels smoother in daily use, and you get the best battery life of any foldable. The cameras also measure up to other foldables, but it's the software where things fall apart. MagicOS 7.1 misses out on basics like an app drawer, and you don't get any of the foldable-focused features Google introduced over the last 18 months. It's still a great phone, but Honor needs to overhaul the software to give Samsung a run for its money.

So, with all that being said, should you buy the HONOR Magic Vs? Well, only you can answer that question, but we can help you come to a conclusion. This is a very good phone. It does have some advantages over the Galaxy Z Fold 4, its direct competitor, but HONOR has to offer more software-wise. If you’re annoyed by the gap on the Galaxy Z Fold 4, or simply want a thinner foldable, this could be the phone for you. It offers great performance, really good battery life, solid cameras, good audio, and has good displays. There’s really not much to complain about here. Well, the price is quite high, so that may put some of you off. If that’s not a problem, however, do consider the Magic Vs.

Honor Magic Vs: The Thinner, Bigger, Lesser Foldable
Source: MrMobile
Stop me if you've heard this one before: "great hardware, undone by under-done software." If that sounds like a line straight out of a Huawei phone review from 2016, well, that tracks. Because Honor began its corporate life as a youth-focused sub-brand of that now-beleaguered behemoth, and even though Honor is now an independent phone maker shipping its first global foldable (Google apps and all) … well, a lot of its software still feels stuck in Shenzhen. Still, it’s early software, and it’s a folding phone – from a brand that historically has competed on price. So the Honor Magic Vs might be an important step toward broader foldable adoption … if that price is right. From Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, I'm Michael Fisher – and this is MrMobile's initial review! (NOTE: MrMobile was informed late in the review process that the Honor Magic Vs software would receive an update before release. That update will address, among other things, the missing app drawer – though more details were not immediately available. If the Magic Vs user experience changes significantly in the time leading up to release, follow-up coverage may be warranted. Stay tuned!)

80% HONOR Magic Vs review: Do you believe in magic?
Source: Android Authority EN→zh-CN
A €1,599 price tag is a bitter pill to swallow for any smartphone, even a foldable. But considering that HONOR’s competition charges closer to two thousand Euros (and sometimes more) for similar specs and features, the Magic Vs is definitely a more palatable option. Especially so for anyone considering their first phone-tablet-style foldable or that has been longing for a HUAWEI-like foldable with full access to Google apps and services. The HONOR Magic Vs doesn’t feature the latest-and-greatest chipset or class-leading displays but it does offer a very good set of compromises for the price and the camera is not one of them. It has great battery life, solid performance, super-fast charging, good cameras and displays, and a lot to like. It’s a bold entry to the global foldable market for HONOR and a good one at that. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 ($1799.99 at Samsung) still offers a more rounded overall experience, but all competition is good competition. The more rivals Samsung has, especially with lower price points and comparable feature sets, is ultimately better for consumers. With more book-like foldables expected to drop in 2023 from the likes of Google and OnePlus, the competition is expected to heat up even further. But whatever happens, HONOR has already claimed itself a spot in the big leagues.

Honor Magic Vs hands-on: Going global
Source: Nextpit EN EN→zh-CN
On paper, the Honor Magic Vs has serious features to seriously compete with Samsung and its Galaxy Z Fold 4. The simple fact that it can fold completely flat gives it a head start in terms of form factor. Ditto at the level of fast charging which is far, far ahead of what Samsung offers. And the quality of the displays of the Magic Vs is not left out either. I found them both very bright. But I regret that we can not really bend it at 90 ° to make a mini-laptop. The main lens of the photo module looks decent just like the selfie camera, but the 8 MP telephoto lens does not necessarily excite me. In any case, I find Honor's philosophy quite interesting with this dual approach to the use of its screens. A screen for business and everyday outdoors and a screen for games and multimedia indoors. I've never seen Samsung talk or consider its Galaxy Z Fold like this.

With properly premium looks, a great set of cameras and very respectable battery life, the Honor Magic Vs is a serious contender in the foldable phone world. Samsung should absolutely be taking note, and everyone else has some real catching up to do. It also proves Honor has successfully escaped the budget/entry-level niche it used to be pigeonholed in, and stepped out of the shadow of former owner Huawei. This is every bit the premium phone. There are a few missing features that would put it truly toe-to-toe with the Galaxy Z Fold 4, like wireless charging or a water resistance rating, but hopefully that’ll be reflected in the price. Honor has so far only confirmed Chinese customers can expect to pay ¥7499 (around £880). That does mean by the time it lands we’ll likely have rivals with newer, more powerful CPUs – but as long as it can undercut other foldables on price, we don’t think that’ll stop you from seeing plenty of ’em in the wild in 2023 and beyond.

Honor Magic VS initial review: A no compromise folding phone
Source: Pocket Lint EN→zh-CN
There's no doubt that Honor is setting this phone up to be a no-compromise flagship folding smartphone. It's powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, has a beefy 5000mAh battery and a strong triple camera system without any low-resolution junk cameras. We think the big draw for this phone will be the big exterior screen that offers an experience very similar to a traditional smartphone. It's not skinny, narrow and cramped like Samsungs, and the hinge design means the phone shuts completely flush too, delivering quite a sleek footprint for a phone which is pretty big. Although it misses wireless charging and an official waterproof rating, the rest of this phone sets it up to be a strong performer and - but without the optimised software - it may not be quite ready to be a genuine competitor to Samsung's flagship foldable.

95% Honor Magic Vs Review: An Exceptional Take on the Foldable Smartphone
Source: Make Use Of EN→zh-CN
Are you looking for a folding smartphone? First look at Samsung's Z Fold effort, laugh about how it looks like a wedge of cheese, and then do yourself a favor and buy a Magic Vs instead. It looks terrific, has incredible engineering on the foldable aspects and the innovative hinge, has two stunning screens, plenty of chops in the processing department, and the camera is brilliant. If you don't love it, I will eat my entire collection of hats. Honor once again shows it is a tenacious brand, that isn't scared to take risks and kick sand in the faces of big smartphone brands like Samsung, and for that, you gotta love 'em.

85% Honor Magic Vs review: You win some, you lose some
Source: Android Police EN→zh-CN
The Honor Magic Vs leaves me with a mixed verdict. It’s clear that it offers some of the finest hardware you can get if you’re in the market for a foldable in the foreseeable future, even if it still uses the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. The battery is incredibly enduring, the hinge is stable, the phone is lighter than it has any right to be, and the crease isn’t too bad. I still don’t love the exterior screen that’s curved to one side only, but that’s the only big hardware trade-off I can point to. The software is a different beast, though. Honor did find its own way around the foldable form factor, not relying on Google’s taskbar, which feels a bit like reinventing the wheel for the sake of it. On the other hand, the company has used its sidebar long before Android 12L’s taskbar was around, so Honor users might feel right at home. It’s still a bummer that Honor chose not to implement other Android 13 features, like Material You-themed interfaces and per-app language options. It also doesn’t help Honor's case that 2023 might just be the year of the foldable. Tecno just launched the cheapest book-style foldable yet at MWC, Google is all but confirmed to bring its own Pixel Fold this year, a OnePlus foldable is right around the corner, and Samsung will almost certainly not rest on its laurels with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. If you’re in the market for a foldable and don’t want to wait for the competition, and you value a great hardware experience more than impeccable software, the Honor Magic Vs is a great choice. Honor announced that the Magic Vs will grace Europe in May, and it will cost €1,600 in its 12+512GB variant.

The biggest 'gap' in folding phones... just got fixed! - Honor Magic Vs
Source: JerryRigEverything
The biggest 'gap' in folding phones... just got fixed! - Honor Magic Vs Personally i have been a fan of folding phones from day one – but the price has always been hard to swallow. Finally though – Honor has found a way to bring the cost of assembly down with a singularly casted hinge that brings the total number of hinge support structure components to 4. The Magic VS is a huge leap forward in making foldables cheaper to assemble. #HONORMagicVs #MWC23 #UnleashthePowerofMagic

Honor Magic Vs Review – A Better Foldable Done Right
Source: Cashify EN→zh-CN
The Honor Magic Vs is establishing itself as a strong candidate in the foldable smartphone market thanks to its properly premium look, a fantastic set of cameras, and very decent battery life. It’s a solid-feeling, attractive folding phone with two large displays and a hinge mechanism that allows the phone to fold shut. With the main display of the Vs having a refresh rate of “only” 90Hz, there is already obvious room for improvement. Some features, such as IP rating as well as wireless charging, are lacking. I don’t believe Honor’s foldable will outperform Samsung’s Fold 4. However, Samsung should make note, while everyone else has a lot of catching up to do. In any case, the Magic Vs demonstrates that Honor isn’t content to merely exist in the market; rather, it is eager to push the boundaries and compete with the best and biggest foldables available.

Hands on: Honor Magic Vs review – affordable foldable king in the making?
Source: Techradar EN→zh-CN
Honor's second-ever foldable looks like a considered update on the original that's ready to take on a global audience. With the chipset at play, a staggered release might place it a little behind the curve when it does eventually arrive, but it looks as though it has enough clout and style to turn heads and steal some of the bigger players' thunder.

Honor’s Magic VS, even in prototype form, feels like a contender
Source: Engadget EN→zh-CN
Now, as I said, I can’t make any solid conclusions about this device, but what I can say is that I really think it’s worthy of a full review when it hits global markets early next year. And that there’s enough here to say that Honor may be making a very compelling case to be spoken about as a fair competitor to Samsung at the highest end of the Android space.

Honor Magic VS Review: Most Perfect Folding Phone
Source: Igeekphone EN→zh-CN
To sum up, the Honor Magic Vs can definitely be called the most powerful and perfect internal folding mobile phone at present. The self-developed hinge and 5000mAh large-capacity battery take into account both the thin and light body and strong battery life. In the new operating system MagicOS With the blessing of 7.0, the system experience is also the top among folding screen phones. At the same time, the Honor Magic Vs also introduces many innovative functions, such as the ability to transfer 5 million U-shields based on a secure memory chip, the voice control brought by the perception of breath, no need for wake-up words, and the large-screen folding mobile phone has a similar The pad-like large-screen experience and operation logic, these many practical functions, are the innovations of Honor, and strive to differentiate and make a unique display in the field of folding screens. Therefore, Honor Magic Vs has become the most perfect folding screen at present. flagship. For users, the Honor Magic Vs allows many users of folding screens to no longer need to use an additional backup machine, and the folding screen has truly entered the era of the main phone.

Honor Magic VS initial review: A no compromise folding phone
Source: Pocket Lint EN→zh-CN
There's no doubt that Honor is setting this phone up to be a no-compromise flagship folding smartphone. It's powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, has a beefy 5000mAh battery and a strong triple camera system without any low-resolution junk cameras. We think the big draw for this phone will be the big exterior screen that offers an experience very similar to a traditional smartphone. It's not skinny, narrow and cramped like Samsungs, and the hinge design means the phone shuts completely flush too, delivering quite a sleek footprint for a phone which is pretty big. Although it misses wireless charging and an official waterproof rating, the rest of this phone sets it up to be a strong performer and - providing Honor can optimise the software well - a genuine competitor to Samsung's flagship foldable.

80% Honor Magic VS hands-on review: one fine foldable
Source: Stuff TV EN→zh-CN
With properly premium looks, a great set of cameras and very respectable battery life, the Honor Magic Vs is shaping up to be a serious contender in the foldable phone world. Samsung should absolutely be taking note, and everyone else has some real catching up to do. It also proves Honor has successfully escaped the budget/entry-level niche it used to be pigeonholed in, and stepped out of the shadow of former owner Huawei. This is every bit the premium phone. There are a few missing features that would put it truly toe-to-toe with the Galaxy Z Fold 4, like wireless charging or a water resistance rating, but hopefully that’ll be reflected in the price. Honor has so far only confirmed Chinese customers can expect to pay ¥7499 (around £880), with a UK release to be announced early next year. That does mean by the time it lands we’ll likely have rivals with newer, more powerful CPUs – but as long as it can undercut other foldables on price, we don’t think that’ll stop you from seeing plenty of ’em in the wild in 2023 and beyond.

Honor Magic Vs hands-on review
Source: GSM Arena EN→zh-CN
Sadly, the Magic Vs that we had with us wasn't quite ready. That is to say, it was running a global variant of the Honor in-house OS with full Google Play support; it's just that it wasn't in a final, review-ready state. That was unfortunate, because we would have liked to explore it in more detail and run the barrage of tests we normally do, but that wouldn't have been fair on the Magic. We'll then reserve final judgment for when we get to experience a commercial-grade sample (there might be an 'if' in there too, we'll see). As it is right now, the Magic Vs is looking promising, that's for sure.

In terms of hardware, it is looking impressive. I'll be back with a full review.
