The Digital Chat Station leaker thinks it has got its hands on several features of the Magic V, Honor’s first foldable smartphone. Although, tweaks should be taken with regard to the information published.

It is clearly no longer a secret that the Honor brand is embarking on the frantic race for the foldable smartphone. The one who broke away from Huawei a year ago has indeed presented its ambitions in this area in December 2021, through an announcement on the Weibo platform.
A few days later, the Chinese manufacturer gave it a layer via a video teasing. The opportunity to see the folding system of the phone, which will take the format of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, Huawei Mate X2 or Oppo Find N, and not that of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Huawei P50 Pocket with their valve system.
120 Hz… but not everywhere?
It is therefore a question of a hybrid device capable of assuming the role of a smartphone when folded, and that of a tablet once unfolded. And so far, no information on its technical sheet had filtered. But that’s without counting on the leaker responding to the name of Digital Chat Station, which thinks it has got its hands on the first features (via Weibo).
First of all, the following should be greeted with a grain of salt. The interested party is generally well informed about Xiaomi news, but has yet to prove itself elsewhere. Also, the technical specifications mentioned by Digital Chat Station come from a prototype and are therefore likely to have evolved before the release of the final product.

More specifically, what could we expect from the Honor Magic V? High-end performance thanks to the integration of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Qualcomm’s state-of-the-art processor. The software interface would also be at the forefront by offering Android 12 natively.
The publication of Digital Chat Station also addresses the screens: the one that would be outside – the smallest, therefore – would be entitled to a refresh rate of 120 Hz, against a frequency of 90 Hz for the indoor panel. A choice that would in this case save some precious battery percentages.
50 megapixel sensor
It would also be a question of a main sensor of 50 megapixels to provide a photographic experience worthy of the name, and a fast charge of 66 W to shorten your charging sessions as much as possible.
The Honor Magic V does not yet have a presentation or launch date. Moreover, we do not even know if the manufacturer intends to market it in France or limit it only to the Chinese market.
According to a leaker, the price of foldable smartphones should become more affordable in 2022… to the point of reaching that of traditional smartphones.
