HONOR Super-light Titanium Hinge: A Groundbreaking First in the Industry Materials
For the very first time, HONOR has integrated titanium alloy into the hinge cover of their latest foldable smartphone, a pioneering move in the industry’s hinge design. Titanium, an aerospace-grade material, strikes an optimal balance between weight and strength, surpassing aluminum in lightness and steel in durability. It embodies exceptional qualities of ultra-lightness, ultra-toughness, and ultra-corrosion-resistance, making it an ideal alloy for various applications.
Following extensive verification and testing by HONOR’s research and development team, it has been confirmed that titanium alloy is a superior choice for the hinge shaft cover. Compared to conventional aluminum alloy shaft covers, titanium alloy demonstrates a remarkable 150% increase in strength, rendering it highly desirable for lightweight foldable smartphones.
Moreover, titanium alloy boasts a significantly higher melting point of 1650°C, compared to the mere 650°C of conventional materials like aluminum alloys, highlighting the unparalleled strength of HONOR’s enhanced hinge design.
Furthermore, HONOR has introduced their proprietary steel into the main body of the HONOR Magic V2’s hinge. This cutting-edge material, inspired by steel used in tunnel boring applications, strikes a perfect balance between thinness and durability, resulting in a slim yet robust design that sets new standards for excellence. This advanced material is 25% thinner and 20% stronger compared to its predecessor in HONOR Magic Vs. Notably, HONOR’s proprietary steel accounts for 67% of the hinge, reinforcing the device’s resilience to daily wear and tear. Collaborating seamlessly with the titanium alloy, this proprietary material ensures that the HONOR Magic V2 is equipped to withstand the rigors of everyday use.
Advanced structure
The revamped support structure of the hinge in the HONOR Magic V2 demonstrates significant advancements compared to its predecessor. The thickness has been impressively reduced by 75%, while the depth of fold marks on the inner screen has seen a reduction of 47%. Additionally, the HONOR Magic V2’s hinge features an exclusive “brake caliper” damping structure, comprising seven sets of cams – three sets more than previous HONOR foldables. This innovative design ensures a smoother and more stable opening and closing experience, facilitating an exceptional free hovering experience at various angles. Users can enjoy features like hover photography, movie viewing, and conferencing, among others, with enhanced ease.
Another breakthrough is HONOR’s self-developed micro lock, a connective component crafted from HONOR’s proprietary steel. This minute component, equivalent in size to a grain of rice, is 20 to 100 times smaller than its predecessors in previous HONOR foldable smartphones. Despite its diminutive size, this precision-manufactured component is lightweight yet robust, effectively preventing screen misalignment and creases for optimal performance.
In the pursuit of utmost thinness, even seemingly inconspicuous components such as screws undergo innovation. Custom short screws are utilized within the Titanium Alloy Hinge to minimize the height of the hinge structure without compromising its robustness.
Moreover, HONOR’s proprietary micro lock, integrated into the hinge components’ connections, represents a pinnacle in craftsmanship. By combining ultra-precise manufacturing techniques with durable materials, fold marks resulting from screen misalignments are effectively mitigated. Additionally, the custom high-precision nuts – the industry’s most accurate and compact nuts (0.75 x φ2.9mm) – provide an unparalleled fastening solution for securing hinge components. This innovative fastening structure not only outperforms conventional nuts but also optimizes space utilization within the device.
Manufacturing
The mortise and tenon integral molding technology enables seamless integration of the hinge shaft cover and hinge body, resulting in a significant reduction in internal space and overall thickness of the hinge. HONOR’s innovative approach and commitment to introducing increasingly “slender” foldable smartphones offer a comprehensive solution to the longstanding issue of thickness in folding display screens.
These breakthrough innovations empower the HONOR Magic V2 to withstand over 400,000 folds. With these exceptional properties, users can enjoy worry-free usage, even with the device folded 100 times a day, ensuring a lifespan of up to ten years.
New Architecture for More Space and Power
The conventional “three-layer stacked” screen driver architecture has historically posed a significant challenge for integrating large batteries into thin and lightweight folding screen mobile phones. However, by introducing a revolutionary “three-in-one” display driver component, HONOR has capitalized on the additional internal space, successfully incorporating a 5000mAh Silicon-carbon Battery within the HONOR Magic V2. This achievement of embedding a 5000mAh battery into such a slim and lightweight body underscores HONOR’s steadfast commitment to pushing the boundaries of technological innovation and engineering excellence. It highlights their willingness to embrace the correct albeit challenging path toward success.
HONOR Ultra-thin Bionic VC Cooling System
Smartphones, especially those equipped with powerful processors and advanced features, rely on efficient cooling systems to prevent overheating, maintain peak performance, and ensure long-term durability. Addressing these critical needs, the HONOR Ultra-thin Bionic VC Cooling System employs a multi-layered approach, incorporating cutting-edge materials such as ultra-thin vapor chamber (VC), ultra-high thermal conductivity graphite, thermal conductivity gel, copper foil, and a high thermal conductivity AL middle frame. Despite the challenges posed by ultra-thin device thickness, this innovative cooling system from HONOR maximizes every available inch to deliver exceptional cooling efficiency.
The bionic VC is meticulously designed to emulate the natural thickness of cicada wings, measuring an astonishing 0.22mm. The entire cooling system boasts a cooling area of 29,000 square meters, representing a 12.5% increase from the previous generation. This achievement further solidifies the HONOR Magic V2’s position as an industry leader in smartphone cooling technology.
The Wraparound Antenna Extension Technology 2.0
HONOR has achieved a breakthrough in antenna technology with the development of an ultra-thin antenna, boasting a sleek three-millimeter-thin design, setting a new standard as the thinnest in the foldable industry. Furthermore, despite its slim profile, this innovative design offers a remarkable 10% increase in antenna area compared to the HONOR Magic Vs, resulting in the industry’s best overall antenna performance.
