Last month, a tipster claimed that Honor will launch two foldable screen smartphones before spring in China. One of them will be a clamshell model, while the other model, which is being called the Honor Magic Fold, is likely sport a tablet-like device like the OPPO Find N or the Galaxy Z Fold series.
