Honor has been actively launching new devices ever since the company split from Huawei to become an independent brand. It has also launched a few premium devices in the market and has not set its eyes on foldable devices.
Today, the company officially teased its upcoming device — Honor Magic V which will soon get launched as the brand’s first foldable smartphone. The teaser shared by the brand doesn’t reveal much about the phones but showcases two panels connected by a hinge.
The company has not yet revealed anything else related to this upcoming smartphone. It is not known if the phone features a book-like fold or a clamshell fold design. Honor is expected to launch two foldable smartphones and this Magic V could be any one of them.
Although Honor has not confirmed this, the device is likely to go official in January. Further, the official teaser from the company pretty much confirms that the launch of the foldable smartphone is imminent.
A recent leak had hinted about an 8-inch inner display and a 6.5-inch cover screen for the upcoming Honor foldable smartphone but it remains to be seen if the Magic V is this device. It is also said to use display panels supplied by BOE and Visionox.
The smartphone is likely to come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset which was launched earlier this month. Honor was featured in a list of manufacturers to be among the first to release a smartphone powered by the new SoC and this could be it.
We expect the company to share more details about this upcoming foldable smartphone in the coming days, including its key specifications and features through teasers.
