Honor MagicBook V 14 latest leak reveals extremely narrow bezels & touchscreen display

Honor will host its Smart Life product launch event on September 26 where it will be unveiling multiple devices like the MagicBook 16 Pro, Honor Wisdom Screen X2, and others. One of them is the Honor MagicBook V 14 – a Windows laptop with a 5MP dual-camera setup. And now, some more details regarding it have been leaked.

Some ‘users’, as per IT Home, have provided a few sketches and other details about the Honor MagicBook V 14. The sketches show that the laptop will be equipped with a large screen with extremely narrow bezels, thus resulting in a pretty high screen-to-body ratio.

The laptop will also come with a touch screen display and have high-end features such as ‘R2 rounded corners.’

Previously, Honor had confirmed that the upcoming MagicBook V 14 laptop will sport a 5-megapixel dual-camera setup. While the company has not yet confirmed this, we expect a wide-angle camera sensor to offer a larger field of view, along with a regular camera.

The laptop is already confirmed to be one of the first to boot into Windows 11 out-of-the-box. Honor and Microsoft had held a strategic ceremony at Honor HQ, Shenzhen announcing this. Apart from this, Honor had said that it is capable of maximizing the potential of Windows 11 with its advanced capabilities in software and hardware integration.

Not much information about the Honor MagicBook V 14 is available at the moment apart from the aforementioned, but we should be getting more details about its specifications, looks, pricing, and availability with the upcoming September 26 event.

Honor MagicBook V 14 teaser confirms 5MP dual camera setup

Ahead of its Honor Smart Life event on 26th September, the Chinese company has confirmed that its latest notebook named Honor MagicBook V 14. Now, with just a few days left for the official launch event, more details about the device keep surfacing.

In the latest teaser poster shared by the company, Honor has confirmed that the upcoming MagicBook V 14 laptop will come with a 5MP dual-camera setup. While the company has not yet confirmed this, we expect a wide-angle camera sensor along with a regular camera to offer a larger field of view.

From the teaser image, it appears that despite adding two camera sensors, the bezels around the display are quite thin. However, the top bezels seem a bit thicker than the bezels on the left side. To get a clear look, we’ll have to wait for Honor to reveal the full design of the device.

This is quite an interesting take from Honor given that the laptops currently available in the market aren’t focused on the camera output. In fact, most of the devices feature either 720p or 1080p webcams. The latest MacBook Air and MacBook Pro from Apple also comes with a 720p webcam, meaning a 2.1MP camera.

The COVID-19 pandemic has finally provided a reason to manufacturers for offering better cameras on laptops as the companies are more open to Work From Home setup and meetings are now happening digitally.

The Honor MagicBook V 14 is already confirmed to be one of the first devices to come running the latest Windows 11 operating system out-of-the-box. The company has also said that it is capable of maximizing the potential of Windows 11 with its advanced capabilities in software and hardware integration. To know the pricing and availability details of this new laptop, we will have to wait for the official launch at the Honor Smart Life Product Launch event scheduled on 26th September.
