The verdict, up front

The 4-inch-cover clamshell that started it all.

Magic V Flip was first to ship the 4.0-inch cover screen format Motorola later matched in the Razr 60 Ultra. Against Galaxy Z Flip 6 (smaller cover, polished SW) and Razr 60 Ultra (newer chip), it remains the value-leading large-cover flip in China.

What works
  • 4.0" cover screen ties Razr 60 Ultra for largest cover.
  • 5,000-nit peak on both screens.
  • 50 + 50 MP tele camera (rare on a flip).
  • IPX8 submersion-rated.
What doesn't
  • China-only retail at launch.
  • 4,800 mAh tight for the 6.8" inner display.
  • MagicOS 8 still has CN bundled services.
  • 50 W wireless is impressive but 66 W wired trails Razr.
