Honor will unveil the Honor 400 series of smartphones on May 28 in China. After the 400 series, the brand is expected to shift its focus to launching next-generation foldable phones, such as the Honor Magic V Flip 2 and Honor Magic V5. In a new development, Flagship Mobile Phone Product Manager at Honor, Li Kun, has hinted at the launch timeframe of the device. In addition, tipster Experience More has shared some key details about the Magic V5.
Honor Magic V5 launch timeframe
As seen in the above screenshot, Li Kun stated that many Honor fans have been asking when the next-generation Honor large foldable will be released. He simply revealed that it will launch in the first half of this year, and when it comes to being light and thin, Honor must be the industry leader. While he did not reveal the name of the device, it is evident that the Honor Magic V5 will be announced next month (June) in China.
Reports have revealed that the Magic V5 is the only other Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered foldable phone from the Chinese brand this year after the Oppo Find N5. To recall, the Oppo Find N5 has a 7-core version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite onboard. However, Li Kun has hinted it will be powered by the regular version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
The 3C and CMIIT certifications of the device have revealed that the Magic V5 may pack a 6,000+mAh battery with 66W charging support. According to tipster Experience, the Magic V5 will lack support for satellite calling, but it will still support Beidou satellite messaging. It will be available in two shades: Silk Road Dunhuang and Velvet Black.
He added that Magic V5’s thickness is said to be the thinnest in the industry, starting with the number 8mm. In comparison, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to measure 8.9mm and 3.9mm in the folded and unfolded state, respectively. However, the Z Fold 7 is likely to pack a considerably smaller battery than the Magic V5.
According to other reports, Honor Magic V5 is likely to sport a 6.45-inch LTPO OLED cover display with a 120Hz refresh rate, along with an 8-inch foldable inner screen that also offers a 2K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. On the back, the phone may come equipped with a 50-megapixel primary camera featuring OIS, accompanied by an ultra-wide sensor and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. It is expected to arrive with other features, such as wireless charging support, satellite message functionality, IPX8 water resistance, and a side-facing fingerprint scanner.
