Honor has officially confirmed that the brand’s first foldable smartphone is called Honor Magic V and is expected to soon get launched if the teasers from the company are anything to go by. Although the company has not yet revealed the launch date.
In the latest teaser video shared by the company, the design of the upcoming Honor Magic V foldable smartphone has been revealed, giving us a pretty good idea about how the phone will look and how it will function.
It has now been confirmed that the smartphone will come with a book-life fold design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and not the clamshell fold as we have seen on the Galaxy Z Flip3 or the Moto Razr smartphones.
The Honor Magic V is being developed with a focus on a large-screen experience. It is said that after unfolding the device, it will offer a tablet-like experience and the adaption of the app for the system screen has also been optimized.
Honor CEO claims that the Magic V will be the leading foldable smartphone available in the market in 2022. As said, currently there’s no information available about the launch or availability of this new device. But we expect the phone to go official in January 2022.
The device is confirmed to come powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset which was launched earlier this month. A recent leak 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.
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.
