Honor Magic V Teased
Although there are not many details to take from this post, but some rumours previously have hinted about it. According to a previous report from The Elec, Honor Magic V could have an 8.03-inch folding inner display paired with a 6.45-inch outer screen. That suggests a device that resembles Samsung’s Z Fold devices. Meaning, it unfolds from a phone form factor into a tablet) rather than its Z Flip (a phone that folds to become more compact). That’s also the form factor used by Honor’s former parent company Huawei with its Mate X2. Though now that Honor has been independent for a year it’s unclear how similar its upcoming device might be.

Earlier renders of the Honor Magic Fold smartphone have also surfaced. From those leaks, we can expect it to have 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. Additionally, the Honor Fold smartphone will provide a 4,500mAh battery and fast charge support. A 16-megapixel front camera will be given in this phone of Honor.
