Magic V2 RSR is still powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, but with storage options limited to just 1TB to go with 16GB of RAM. The rest of the spec sheet is the same for both Magic V2 variants. For displays, you get a 7.92-inch 2,344 x 2,156 foldable OLED display (with barely noticeable creases) and a 6.43-inch 2,376 x 1,060 external OLED display, with brightness of 1,600 nits and 502 nits respectively. For audio, this Android phone is equipped with “IMAX Enhanced” stereo speakers, while phone calls use the device’s triple microphone system for better sound reception. As with most foldable devices, the fingerprint reader is integrated into the side-mounted power button.
The rear ‘Falcon Camera System’ consists of a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide shooter and a 20-megapixel telephoto camera (2.5x zoom), while a 16-megapixel punch-hole selfie camera sits. top of both screens. Both rear and front cameras support resolution up to 4K for video recording.
Not surprisingly, the Magic V2 RSR box set includes some extras, namely an active stylus, its own carrying case, and a spare 66W charger. The custom protective case is wrapped in stitched dark gray vegan leather, though compared to the regular version it lacks a kickstand – something I find hard to live without when it comes to foldable phones.
Like the base model, the Magic V2 RSR will be aimed at global markets, though pricing is locked until MWC later this month. For reference, the Magic V2 RSR is available at retail 15,999 yuan or about $2,220 in China, but expect a big bump for international prices. The regular Magic V2 – available in a 512GB flavor for international markets only – retails for £1,700 ($2,140). Great Britain and with €1,999 ($2,150). Europehowever Demon version and Hong Kong version (also international firmware) costs only $1,400. No wonder some savvy consumers prefer to import smartphones from abroad despite the lack of local warranty services.
