OPINION : If I say to you , “ pureness has produce a smartphone and bag hybrid concept ” , what would you expect?Ipictured something like theLG V60 ThinQ , with its case that provides an additional screenland , but with a purse providing added features to a phone . The Honor Magic Phoebe handbag is not that .
So whatisthe Honor Magic V handbag ? The skinny is that it ’s a wraparound folding , with the choice to attach a bag shoulder strap . You did n’t figure that either did you ?
I ’ll let down you right away and say you ca n’t store your cash , ID carte , motorbus qualifying or , even , another sound within this twist . It ’s not really a pocketbook . It ’s just a foldable telephone .
According to Honor , it ’s a handbag in the “ phy - gital ” ( an uniting of physical and digital ) sense . Basically , you could display image on its tabu showing to give it the appearance of a handbag and confiscate a chain so you could channel it like a purse . But , again , it’snota purse .
Honor aims to take the phy - gital - cape to the next level by having the visible helping of the display variety based on cistron like your calendar . For example , an image paroxysm for a party look or an image fit for a byplay meeting .
honour is advertize this conception as showcasing a future where mode is digital . But , in the sumptuousness cosmos , caliber materials from high - end brands incline to decree the roost . Undoubtedly , if it add up to fruition , the phone itself will likely hail in at a sumptuousness price , with similarly design phones closing in on the £ 2,000 mark . But , that ’s notthatluxury in a world of accessory that can skyrocket far beyond this price .
I ’m unconvinced that this will be replaced with digital range of a function , and the notion feels a bit NFT - y , which is a public mostly dominated by snake crude sales representative . accolade is n’t that and , as far as we know , it wo n’t be selling you these digital purse look .
Then , there ’s the durability issue . Foldables are still a comparatively unexampled applied science and , especially for young adopters , accidents can for certain encounter . The Magic V pocketbook assume a showing around almost the whole earphone , so carrying it fully exposed outside your sack or bag feels a spot like tempting fate .
But I think the frame here is way off . There ’s enough instauration without this leftover - field focusing . I ’m stir for an eventual laurels conjuring trick V Purse passing , if it come — and it may even don a different name by then , as it offers the same foldaway trend as theHuawei Mate XS mountain chain .
The wraparound foldable form factor is one I actually prefer to the more typical ledger style , as it give you a much more traditional feeling phone when close then offers a thin , large screen experience when open . Since it ’s just one CRT screen that is divided when folded , the two cover manner feel more connected and unseamed .
Given how spectacularly thin and just sensational the Magic V2 is , I ’m excited to get Honor ’s take on this way . The Huawei Mate XS 2 was a gorgeous phone but the company ’s woes make it a tough recommend in Europe . award can bring this form constituent and Google service back to these shore once again .
The Honor Magic V handbag is more fashion - backward than fashion - forward , I ’m afraid . But , there ’s a potential difference for a hidden gem to emerge if it becomes a world .
