HONOR has announced the launch date of its upcoming flagship smartphone. The company has announced that it will unveil its next-generation foldable, called Magic Vs, at an event in China on November 23 at 2:30 PM UTC+8 (1:30 AM ET). The company has also shared a teaser image showcasing the foldable smartphone.
It shows that the foldable will feature an inner punch-hole front-facing camera for selfies and video calls. While the overall look appears to be the same, the sides appear to have been given a more straight-edged finish compared to the predecessor. However, no other details, such as the smartphone's features, price, or specifications, have been officially revealed.
Nonetheless, Twitter tipster IceUniverse has revealed that HONOR Magic Vs will "break the battery life record" and feature the largest cell ever on a foldable. The tipster claims that Magic Vs will come with a 5,000mAh battery, which is 600mAh more than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. What's more? It will reportedly weigh (almost) the same as the Samsung counterpart, coming in at 261grams.
Magic 5 Could Also Be Announced
Along with Magic Vs, HONOR is also said to be working on the Magic 5 flagship series. Reputed leaker Digital Chat Station has previously revealed that the Magic Vs and Magic 5 series will be one of the first few phones to be powered by Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. Qualcomm is hosting its annual summit from November 15-17, where it is expected to announce the next flagship processor called Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
Other than fast internals, the Magic 5 will reportedly sport a big 6.8-inch LTPO OLED panel with an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. It will (likely) run on HONOR's custom Magic UI 7.0 software based on Android 13. The smartphone series is said to support up to 5,000mAh battery and up to 100W of wired charging,
Lastly, tipsters believe that HONOR's next flagship will sport a 50MP camera primary sensor with the company's custom AI-ISP.
