The HONOR foldable concept phone that made heads turn at the IFA 2023 technology show in Berlin, Germany, is finally a commercial product.
The HONOR V Purse has been launched in China, with the 16GB/256GB model going for ¥5,999 (roughly P46,681 in Philippine pesos and $822 in U.S. dollars) and the version with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage priced at ¥6,599 (P51,353 or $904).
Intended for the fashionable set, the HONOR V Purse is called as such because it looks like a handbag, what with interchangeable vegan-leather straps that allow you to carry the device like a regular purse and interactive Always On Display wallpapers.
Some custom AOD styles are a product of the former Huawei sub-brand’s collaboration with folk such as Burberry menswear creative director Bram Van Diepen. Think wallpapers that are made to look like a variety of handbag designs and textures and react to your touches and movements, courtesy of integrated sensors that consist of an accelerometer to help track motion more accurately in real time. When folded, the HONOR V Purse’s two sides can have different displays.
