Honor has just launched the futuristic Robot Phone in China and is scheduled to launch its next flagship, the Magic 9 series, on September 28 in the country. Apart from the Magic 9 lineup, the brand is said to be working on several other smartphones, and recent Weibo posts by reliable tipster Digital Chat Station give an idea of what to expect from them.

Honor phone with rear display in the making

According to DCS, Honor is reportedly evaluating a native rear-display design for a slim, camera-focused smartphone. The secondary screen is said to measure around 1.7 inches, while the flagship line is currently not expected to adopt this design.

While he has not specified the name of the device, the upcoming Honor 700 series may feature this rear display. Based on previous release patterns, the 700 lineup may break cover in November or December this year in China.

In a separate Weibo post, DCS mentioned that Honor is said to have started trial production of a new battery with a rated capacity of 11,790mAh and a rated energy of 43.86Wh. Its typical capacity is expected to be around 12,000mAh, making it another ultra-large battery being tested by the company.

The tipster has not revealed which upcoming Honor phone will use it, but there is a possibility that it may power the upcoming Honor Power 3, which may break cover by early 2027. This phone is expected to feature the next-generation 3nm Dimensity 8600 chip.

Honor’s wide foldable phone in the works

DCS also claims that Honor is exploring a wide-screen foldable, although the project has reportedly not entered formal development yet. If approved, the company is considering a larger-screen version, as the two existing wide foldable phones on the market reportedly feature displays in the 6.3- to 6.4-inch range. Previous reports have claimed that it will pack a 20-megapixel main camera, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip, and a 7,000mAh battery.

Apart from these devices, Honor is said to be accelerating the launch of the Win 2 series of gaming-focused phones. It is speculated that the Win 2 models may debut as early as October in China.
