Honor has been actively launching new devices in the market ever since it became an independent brand by splitting from Huawei. After launching a few premium devices, the company is now aiming to step up its game with foldable phones.

It’s been a few months since reports about Honor foldable smartphones started surfacing online. Now, in the latest development, a render of the upcoming Honor Magic Fold 5G smartphone has leaked online.

Honor Magic Fold 5G Render Leak

In terms of design, the upcoming foldable smartphone from Honor looks similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series. The company is reportedly going to launch another foldable device that will have a clamshell form factor.

Based on the recent trademark filing from the company, it plans to launch Honor Magic Fold as well as Honor Magic Wing smartphones in the market. When launched, the devices will compete against similar phones from brands like Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, and more.

It is rumored that the Honor Magic Fold will come with an 8-inch display, offering a screen resolution of 2200 x 2480 pixels. Under the hood, it will come powered by an octa-core processor with one Cortex A-77 core running at 3.13GHz, three Cortex A-77 cores running at 2.54GHz, and four Cortex A-55 cores running at 2.05GHz.

The device is said to pack 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The render shows a rear camera with a 108-megapixel primary camera sensor while on the front side, it could have a 16-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

The phone is said to come with the Android 11 operating system but we expect the device to have Android 12 by the time it launches. It will be powered by a 4,500mAh battery with support for fast charging technology.

The launch of foldable smartphones could further help Honor boost its market share in its home country China. The brand has already captured a 15 percent market share, becoming the third-largest smartphone company in China, followed by Vivo and OPPO.
