The Honor Magic Vs, the successor to the Honor Magic V foldable phone, is about to land; leaks suggest it could make the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 really worth the money.
Honor itself has revealed some images of the Magic Vs, and in addition to that, a few other details have been leaked. Below you’ll find everything we’ve seen so far, including a confirmed release date for the Honor Magic Vs.
Honor Magic Vs release date and price
The Honor Magic Vs will be unveiled on November 23, so it’s fast. It will be in Chinese, but there will be “simultaneous interpretation in English”, a spokesman said. The launch event will begin on November 22 at 10:30 PM PT or on November 23 at 1:30 AM ET / 6:30 AM GMT / 5:30 PM AEDT.
The launch was for China only, but speaking to tech advisors, an Honor spokesperson confirmed that the Magic Vs will launch globally in the first quarter of 2023 — that is, sometime between early January and the end of March. That said, while the company has previously said the phone will be coming to Europe, they haven’t specified which European countries it’ll be available in — nor whether it’ll be available in the US or Australia. Although a US launch is unlikely.
There’s no word on how much it might cost, but the original Honor Magic V – which didn’t go global, was priced at 9,999 yen, so the Honor Magic Vs could have a similar price, although the conversion is unlikely to be accurate in any case.
Honor Magic with news and leaks
From here you can tell it looks a lot like the Honor Magic V or the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, with a large foldable display that opens up like a tablet as wide, or folds up to let you have more Smartphone-sized device. You can see a hole-punch camera on the foldable display, as well as a gold frame that may be made of metal. However, other colors may also be available.
When the phone is closed, you have access to a large secondary screen, as well as what looks like a triple-lens camera. As you can see below, the Honor Magic Vs is “ultra-thin”. The source also said that this will be the lightest foldable phone with this design.
In addition to that, we can see in the sketches a triple-lens camera on the back and a secondary screen with a hole-punch camera, when the main display is folded closed, like we’ve seen further in the official images The place. The sketch also mentions a 5,000mAh battery, which is quite a size for a foldable phone — 600mAh more than the Galaxy Z Fold 4, and the Magic Vs will break the battery life record for such a foldable phone. The same sketch was also shared on Chinese social network Weibo by a leaker dubbed Panda Bald, who also claimed that the Honor Magic Vs offers 66W charging and weighs 261g.
That’s all we’ve heard so far, but we can speculate that the Honor Magic Vs will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, since the Magic V is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
Given how similar the upcoming phone is to the older phone in the official image above, some other specs may be similar as well. So, we’re likely to get a roughly 7.9-inch OLED main display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a roughly 6.45-inch OLED secondary display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and three 50MP cameras on the back. However, this is just speculation for now.
