Honor released the first foldable smartphone Magic V on Twitter and Weibo. Huawei's previous sub-brand called it "Honor's first foldable flagship" and said it would be released "soon", but the company did not provide an exact date.
There have been rumors that the company may launch an Honor folding device, especially after the company has applied for the "Magic Fold" and "Magic Wing" trademarks to the China Trademark Office. The company's CEO George Zhao told CNET in 2019 that the company is interested in making a folding phone, and its former parent company Huawei recently released the third-generation folding device Mate X2.
Other details are not yet clear, but there are rumors that the upcoming Honor folding phone will use ultra-thin glass, with an 8.03-inch folding display and a 6.45-inch external screen. If accurate, this means that it is very similar to Samsung's Galaxy Fold 3, not Galaxy Flip 3. Considering that it is a flagship product, it should have a relatively high-end processor and other components.
Huawei sold Honor in November 2020 to "ensure its survival", so Honor has been independent for more than a year. Unlike Huawei devices, Google apps can be used on Honor smartphones.
