Samsung is not the only one to bet on folding models to embody the premium offer of its catalog of smartphones. Honor, particularly active since its independence from Huawei and its “return” to Europe in 2021, is multiplying the announcements. While the Magic Vs has recently become the first model of its kind marketed on the Old Continent, the brand is preparing the formalization of its successor in China.
Last week was held in Shanghai the MWC, the twin telephony fair of the MWC in Barcelona, organized for its part at the end of February. The opportunity for George Zhao, CEO of Honor, to announce the upcoming arrival of Magic V2, while indicating that it “will revolutionize the experience brought by folding screens”. This smartphone will not remain a secret for long, as the brand begins to publish teasers on his Chinese social networks. His presentation will therefore take place on July 12. Honor does not hesitate to praise the quality of this device, indicating in its posts that it will demonstrate the progress of the “progress to evolution”. The visual that accompanies the announcement of its July event also shows a basic mobile, an iPhone 5S (or SE) and its Magic V2, much larger and with rounded edges.
We still know little about the characteristics of the terminal. The Magic V2 should be equipped with an internal screen of at least 7.9 inches, format retained by its elder, which one can imagine that the brightness will have been increased. It is on the side of the chip animating the smartphone that the surprise could be found. It would thus be a question of a version equipped with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and a second powered by the most recent of the Qualcomm catalog, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, flanked by 16 GB of RAM in its best equipped version. .
We also mention a battery increased to 5000 mAh and compatible with wireless charging, a feature that is lacking in the Magic V and Magic Vs. A technical sheet that has every interest in being neat, Samsung also preparing its next folding smartphone, the Galaxy Z Fold 5, whose presentation will take place at the end of July.
