Honor is reportedly working on its next foldable phone. Speculations are rife that it may debut in the Chinese market with the Honor Magic V2 moniker. A tipster from China has hinted at the launch timeframe of the Magic V2. In addition, another leak that surfaced revealed its battery capacity.
According to a Chinese tipster, the Magic V2 foldable phone and the Magic UI 7.0 will be announced together in December 2022. He added that the Magic V2 will be a thinner and lighter device as compared to its predecessor, the Honor Magic V, which debuted in January this year.
Unfortunately, there is no information on the specifications of the Magic V2. Since Chinese smartphone OEMs have been busy launching Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 powered devices, it appears that the same chip may power the Magic V2.
Recently, tipster Digital Chat Station claimed that Honor’s upcoming foldable phone will be equipped with a dual-cell 2,030mAh / 2,870mAh battery. He added that the battery offered a combined typical value of around 5,000mAh. To recall, the predecessor model was equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and a 4,750mAh battery.
Several Chinese brands are gearing up to launch their foldable phones in the remaining months of this year. Recent reports have revealed that OPPO’s foldable phone will be called the OPPO Find N Fold, whereas Vivo’s iteration will be dubbed as the Vivo X Fold S.. Huawei is also expected to launch its foldable smartphone in December this year. These devices will compete with the likes of the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 that have recently gone official in China.
Samsung and Motorola have recently launched the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Moto Razr 2022 clamshell phones with foldable displays. Reports have claimed that OPPO and Huawei are also working on their clamshell devices.
