Honor will be making its entrance into the foldable smartphone market this year. It has been reported that the phone will launch under the Magic series, and a new trademark filing has revealed the official name of the device as well as that of another model, likely planned for a later release.
First spotted by DealnTech, Honor registered the trademarks for Honor Magic Fold and Honor Magic Flip early this month at the office of the China National Intellectual Property Administration. Based on these trademarks, it is safe to say that these are the official names of Honor’s coming foldable devices.
The Honor Magic Fold should have a form factor similar to that of the Huawei Mate X2 which has an inward folding design while the Honor Magic Flip should have a design similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip or the Motorola Razr.
The Magic Fold is expected to launch in the second half of the year, and it has been reported that it will be powered by the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 888 Pro processor. The Magic Flip, on the other hand, may not launch till next year, even though I am more excited for it as it may be the first foldable flip phone from a Chinese brand (not counting Lenovo’s Motorola Razr).
