Honor has been rumored to be working on its first clamshell foldable phone, possibly called the Magic Flip or Magic V Flip, for some time now.

There’s not much we know about its specs or looks but a new leak by tipster Digital Chat Staiton suggests that the Honor Magic Flip will have the biggest battery among clamshell phones.

A big cover display is also on the card, which will also be one of the biggest in its category. The tipster also shared an image of the cover screen casing of the phone.

Although it doesn’t give away much, the camera module appears to have a circular design. The tipster also mentioned that the entire outer panel will be a screen with minimal bezels.

A mockup render of Honor’s flip foldable has appeared on Weibo. However, this design is not confirmed and might change.

Following the trend set by Honor’s first foldable, the Magic V, the Magic V Flip is expected to be among the thinnest flip phones available. Despite its slim profile, it will house a 4500mAh battery, which is notably larger compared to competitors like the Galaxy Z Flip 5, which has a 3700mAh battery.

Honor is set to launch the Honor 200 series this month, and the company might share the first teaser for the Magic V Flip at the same event. The device is expected to launch sometime in June.

With more details likely to emerge closer to the launch, the Honor Magic V Flip is definitely a foldable to watch out for.

According to the leaker, the Honor 200 series will launch first and after that, the brand will unveil its first-ever flip phone equipped with a foldable screen. A recent leak revealed a couple of upper mid-range phones, such as the Huawei Nova 13 series, the Reno 12 series, the Vivo S19 lineup, and the Honor 200 series will debut in June in China.

Unfortunately, the new leak has not revealed anything about the specifications of the Honor 200 series and the Magic Flip. So far, reports have revealed a few details of the flip phone. A mock render based on rumors surrounding the device.

It was revealed that the Honor Magic Flip will have a large external display like the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra. It is expected to feature a dual camera system and a leather back. The device is expected to pack a 4,500mAh dual-cell battery.

A previous report claimed that the Magic Flip will make its debut by the end of Q2 this year. This suggests that the Honor 200 and Magic Flip could potentially launch in June. The digital series could be introduced first, with the flip potentially arriving in the latter part of June.

It appears that the company plans to release two more foldable phones in the second half of the year. These are likely to include the Magic V3 and the V Purse 2 as successors to last year’s Magic V2 and V Purse foldable phones. These devices are likely to sport inward and outward folding designs, respectively.

As can be seen, the Honor Magic Flip will sport a massive cover display like the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra. In addition, it has a vertically arranged dual camera system. The lower half appears to be made of plain leather.

Honor is gearing up to unveil its first ever flip foldable smartphone soon. The upcoming clamshell folding device was previously spotted in a rumor, and now, a fresh leak has revealed the launch timeline and design for the Magic Flip. So here are all the details.

Honor Magic Flip Launch Timeline & Live Image

In an earlier report, we covered a leak that suggested that the Magic Flip will be released in China’s Spring Festival.

Apart from this, the tipster also shared an image, which offers us a look at the new flip phone.

The leaked picture showcases the rear design of the Magic Flip with two circular ring modules. The top module likely houses the image sensors, while the lower one would sport the external cover display. So the design appears to be quite similar to clamshell folding phones from its former parent company, Huawei. Based on what we know so far, the Magic Flip is powered by a 4,500mAh battery pack, which consists of a 2,420mAh + 1,980mAh dual-cell battery.

Unfortunately, this is all the information we have at the moment. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take this news with a pinch of salt for now and stick around for more as we will be providing updates when additional details are available regarding this device.

Honor is apparently planning on launching a bunch of new foldable smartphones in the coming year. A fresh leak has revealed the battery specs of one such model and also hinted at the number of new foldable phones that are planned for 2024.

The Chinese smartphone maker launched the Magic Vs 2 as its latest foldable device back in October. Now, tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed some key details regarding the upcoming Honor Magic Flip and Honor’s 2024 foldable lineup. So far, the brand has announced notebook-like folding designs like the Galaxy Z Fold 5 with the Magic V series. But the Magic Flip will be its first ever clamshell folding smartphone.

Honor Magic Vs 2

Furthermore, the company is planning on introducing three new smartphones with flexible displays. This includes the Magic Flip, a compact folding device, and an inward and outward. The compact device is reportedly called the Honor V Purse 2, while the inward folding model could be the next gen flagship Magic V3. According to Digital Chat Station, the Magic Flip is powered by a 2,420mAh and a 1,980mAh dual cell battery pack. This gives it a combined 4,500Ah rating.

If this is true, then the Magic Flip will likely be the Flip phone with the largest battery pack in the current market. The tipster also added that Honor is planning on adding some new features like satellite connectivity and variable aperture on its next gen flagship phones.

Earlier this year, Honor announced the Honor Magic Vs foldable phone. The company went on to announce the more powerful Honor Magic V2 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 onboard in the previous week. However, leaks suggest that Honor is not finished yet and is gearing up to launch its third foldable phone in the coming months. Additionally, details have emerged regarding the launch timeframe of Honor’s first flip phone with a foldable screen.

Honor Magic V Slim

Huawei Mate Xs 2

According to trusted tipster Digital Chat Station, Honor’s upcoming foldable phone will feature an externally foldable design like the Huawei Mate Xs 2. The device is expected to have a sleek and slim profile, boasting a 2K resolution display with eye-protection support. Digital Chat Station claims that this foldable phone will directly compete with other smartphones sporting smaller foldable screens. It is likely that this device is the Honor Magic V Slim, as hinted by another tipster named Teme.

Honor Magic Flip, Honor 100 GT

Furthermore, Digital Chat Station revealed that following the release of the Honor Magic V Slim, Honor plans to launch their vertically foldable phone, referred to as the Magic Flip. After the flip phone, the company will introduce a GT series device, potentially named the Honor 100 GT, claims DCS. Interestingly, it appears that Honor may skip the Honor 90 GT moniker for this particular release.

According to Teme, the Magic V Slim is slated for an October 2023 launch. As for the Magic Flip, it is expected to make its debut in spring of 2024, possibly in February or March. Unfortunately, specific details regarding the specifications of these devices have not been disclosed at this time.

Honor X50 GT

In addition to these foldable phones, Honor is reportedly working on an LCD display phone targeting the Chinese market. This phone is likely to succeed the Snapdragon 888-powered Honor X40 GT, which was unveiled in October 2022. Therefore, the rumored device could potentially be named the Honor X50 GT.

Honor Magic Fold and Honor Magic Flip trademarks registered in China

Habeeb Onawole — Tue, 22 Jun 2021 20:14:25 +0000

Honor will be making its entrance into the foldable smartphone market this year. It has been reported that the phone will launch under the Magic series, and a new trademark filing has revealed the official name of the device as well as that of another model, likely planned for a later release.

First spotted by DealnTech, Honor registered the trademarks for Honor Magic Fold and Honor Magic Flip early this month at the office of the China National Intellectual Property Administration. Based on these trademarks, it is safe to say that these are the official names of Honor’s coming foldable devices.

The Honor Magic Fold should have a form factor similar to that of the Huawei Mate X2 which has an inward folding design while the Honor Magic Flip should have a design similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip or the Motorola Razr.

The Magic Fold is expected to launch in the second half of the year, and it has been reported that it will be powered by the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 888 Pro processor. The Magic Flip, on the other hand, may not launch till next year, even though I am more excited for it as it may be the first foldable flip phone from a Chinese brand (not counting Lenovo’s Motorola Razr).
