Honor V Purse has been launched in China. Earlier this month, the brand showcased the stylish foldable phone at the IFA 2023 tech exhibition in Berlin, Germany. At that time, the device was announced as a concept phone, but now it has been made official in China.
The Honor V Purse is a foldable phone with an outward folding design like the Huawei Mate Xs 2. Unlike inwardly foldable phones, it lacks a secondary cover display. While it’s not a functional purse for storing items, it can be worn like one with detachable chain-link straps. Honor describes it as a “phy-digital fashion statement,” blending physical elements with customizable Always-On Display (AOD) styles. Here is a look at the specifications, features, and price of the Honor V Purse.

The display punch-hole of the Honor V Purse houses an 8-megapixel front-facing camera.

When folded the device measures 156.5 x 74.7 x 8.6mm and weighs 214 grams, which makes it smaller and lighter than regular flagship phones like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
