A report earlier this week revealed that Xiaomi and Honor are both working on their new book-style foldable phones. Xiaomi’s offering, the Mix Fold 4, and Honor’s, the Magic V3, are expected to be powered by the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.
The report also tipped Mix Fold 4’s battery to be 5000mAh, while details regarding the Magic V3’s battery capacity were left undisclosed. But there was a subtle hint suggesting an even bigger battery for the V3.
However, in a recent Weibo post tipster Digital Chat Station revealed that Honor’s foldable will also feature a 5000mAh battery, matching the Mix Fold 4.
Currently, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro holds the title for the foldable with the largest battery, boasting a massive 5700mAh cell despite its slim design. It looks like it will hold onto that crown for a while longer.
Additionally, the tipster revealed that both foldables will retain side-mounted fingerprint sensors from their predecessors but will be thinner. The Mix Fold 4 is expected to be the slimmest foldable upon release, supported by the latest leak.
Furthermore, the tipster affirmed previously disclosed camera details for the Fold 4, featuring a 50MP quad-camera setup with a 5x periscope lens. However, DCS notes that the camera bulge on Xiaomi’s foldable is quite noticeable, while the Honor Magic V3 is expected to have a centrally aligned camera setup with minimal bulge.
In addition to book-style foldables, both brands are working on flip foldables. Honor has already announced the launch of its first clamshell device, the Magic V Flip, scheduled for June 20, while Xiaomi is yet to share details on its flip phone.
Both Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 and Honor Magic V3 are expected to be released in July. Xiaomi might tag along its flip phone with the Fold 4.
