Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Honor V Purse (16GB + 512GB)

  • Unique and fashion-forward design that is very different from other smartphones and grabs attention.
  • Extremely thin and light for a foldable phone, measuring just 8.6mm when folded.
  • Solid build quality and comfortable to hold, with a nearly imperceptible display crease.
  • Very good performance for a non-flagship (mid-range Snapdragon 778G) processor, handling most daily tasks and less demanding games smoothly.
  • The display is bright, offers good color accuracy, and has smooth touch response, despite being 90Hz.
  • Customizable Always-On Displays (AODs) with interactive designs that can be matched to outfits, along with support for interchangeable straps.
  • Allows use of the high-quality main cameras for selfies by using the rear screen as a viewfinder.
  • Comes with the charger included in the box.

What we don't like about Honor V Purse (16GB + 512GB)

  • The screen is always exposed when folded (outward-folding design), raising durability and scratch concerns.
  • Folding/unfolding mechanism is not as smooth or satisfying as inward-folding phones, requiring a conscious effort to open and close.
  • Mid-range camera performance; images can lack detail in low light, colors are not always accurate, and both main and ultrawide cameras lack Optical Image Stabilization (OIS).
  • Battery life is not as good as some competing book-style foldables.
  • Charging speed (35W) is considered slow compared to many other devices.
  • MagicOS software is functional but lacks some features found in other Android skins (e.g., specific notification handling, certain gestures) and has an iOS-like look that may not appeal to all users.
  • Primarily a concept phone that was only launched in China, making global availability and long-term support uncertain.
  • Its function as a 'purse' is limited to holding the phone itself and does not replace the utility of an actual purse for carrying other items.

Verdict

The Honor V Purse in the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage configuration is an ultra-thin, fashion-focused outward-folding smartphone with a unique design that allows it to be used as a wearable "purse" with interchangeable straps and interactive always-on displays. It features a large 7.71-inch foldable OLED display (2016 x 2348 pixels, 90Hz) that, when folded, becomes a 6.45-inch cover screen, both offering excellent brightness and a nearly crease-less viewing experience. Powered by the capable, though not flagship, Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G processor, it handles general use and multitasking smoothly on Android 13 (MagicOS 7.2). The dual-camera system includes a 50MP main and 12MP ultrawide lens, and it is powered by a 4500mAh battery with 35W wired fast charging. A major concern and con is that the primary display is always exposed in folded mode, raising significant durability concerns, and the cameras lack OIS and aren't top-tier performers for the price point. Additionally, the phone lacks an official IP rating for water resistance and is primarily available in China as a niche device.
