HONOR Magic V Price

According to a leaker (via GSMArena), 12/256 GB variant of the HONOR Magic V will cost CNY13,999 in China. When converted to USD, the price comes out to be roughly around $2,200. The leaker also claims that there will be a 12/512 GB version which will retail for CNY14,999, or $2,350. If HONOR launches the Magic V at this price, it'll be a good, but costly, completion to Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 which retails for around $400 less, i.e., around $1,800 in the United States.
Thankfully, we don't have to wait long for HONOR to confirm these specs, price, and even design as the foldable is set to debut next week. What are your expectations from the HONOR Magic V? If it launches at the same price tag as the Galaxy Z Fold 3, would you prefer it over Samsung's offering? Let us know in the comments section below!
