As we start 2024, major tech brands are making a powerful entrance with groundbreaking devices set to reshape the smartphone landscape. Whether you’re in search of a foldable phone or a regular one, this year promises significant product releases that are transforming the industry.
From one side, HONOR is gearing up to unveil the thinnest and lightest foldable HONOR Magic V2, featuring groundbreaking capabilities, smart features, huge battery and powerful performance. Meanwhile, Samsung has introduced the Galaxy S24 Series, and the key to its features is the integration of “AI.”
HONOR Magic V2 Dominates the Foldable Market
Unlike what people thought about foldables being bulky, fragile and comes with small battery capacity, HONOR changed that perception with the introduction of the HONOR Magic V2. This device is a true game-changer, featuring an ultra-slim 9.9mm design and a revolutionary 5000mAh battery, incorporated in a thin design for the first time. The 6.43-inch outer screen is revolutionary, allowing users to access apps without having to unfold their phones.
When it comes to competition, HONOR Magic V2’s 9.9mm slim design surpasses predecessors like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 with a thickness of 13.46 mm. It stands out as the lightest and thinnest in its category and looks like regular smartphones like the S24 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max. This design gives HONOR Magic V2 a competitive edge, seamlessly combining the slim form factor with flagship foldable features with an immersive 7.92-inch internal display.
People often worried about the hinge in foldable phones, with doubts about its durability and functionality. HONOR Super-light titanium hinge is a significant advancement in the foldable industry. Titanium possesses the ideal balance between weight and strength, being lighter than aluminum and stronger than steel.
Moreover, and with a focus on safeguarding user privacy and security, the HONOR Magic V2 debuts Parallel Space feature that allows users to effortlessly separate work apps from personal ones. Think of it as having two phones within one device, each with separate accounts for your applications. With Parallel Space, you can sign in to the same app with two different and separate accounts, eliminating the need for two phones.
If you are on the lookout for your next foldable, HONOR Magic V2 stands out as a leading option among foldable phones, surpassing others in the market.
Galaxy S24 Series with Galaxy AI
Samsung faces tough competition from other tech brands that release models with improved cameras, strong performance, and innovative features. Samsung recently launched the latest version of its popular Galaxy S series, which has some cool new features. Galaxy S24 can now translate text and calls, and they have unique search options for internet browsing. The Samsung Keyboard also has AI that can translate messages in real-time in 13 languages. When it comes to photos, the Galaxy phones have AI editing tools for simple edits like erasing, recomposing, and remastering. The Edit Suggestion feature uses Galaxy AI to suggest the best tweaks for each photo, making it easier for users.
AI Technologies on Smartphones
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly integrated into various aspects of users lives, and smartphones are no exception and tech companies are making huge investments in AI, viewing it as the future of technology. HONOR stands out when it comes to AI technologies, and this was obvious with their new launches last year. With HONOR Magic5 Pro, HONOR introduced Millisecond Falcon Capture, AI Motion Sensing Capture for capturing stunning photos with the assistant of AI.
In addition, its high-end HONOR 90 comes with the innovative AI Vlog Master including reducing noise with AI, video recommendations with AI and creating instant movies using AI.
Recently and at Snapdragon Summit 2023, HONOR announced that HONOR Magic 6 will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform with innovative features for a new era of generative AI. With the on-device AI, users can command the device and create videos using the AI.
The Chinese tech giant had previously introduced AI-powered feature called “Solo Cut Vlog Mode” with the HONOR 70. This functionality enables users to shoot two videos simultaneously, with one video capturing the overall scene and the other focusing on a specific person through AI tracking.
Whether you’re considering a switch to a foldable phone, the HONOR Magic V2 offers an excellent option that can revolutionize your entire foldable phone experience. Alternatively, if AI is a priority for you, the Galaxy S24 Series is a compelling choice.
