At the start of 2021, there were multiple reports that more OEMs were planning to launch their own foldable smartphones. While that did not exactly happen this year, possibly due to the global supply chain issues, more companies have at least confirmed they have a foldable phone in the works. And Honor is the latest brand to join the trend.
The company announced its plans for the foldable smartphone market through its official Weibo and Twitter pages. A hashtag also suggests it will be called Honor Magic V.
However, aside from a teasing message and a cryptic promo image, nothing has been revealed yet about its design, technical specifications, and release date. What fans can gather from the online announcements is that the “V” is an apparent reference to the image formed when the device is folded halfway through. And the teaser image, albeit lacking in details, suggests the Honor Magic V’s form factor will be similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, Huawei Mate X, and Oppo Find N.

Honor did not provide hints about the Honor Magic V’s launch window. But considering that the announcements were made for Chinese and global customers, it is highly likely that the device will be released in several regions. And the lack of a specific date for a launch event suggests its official unveiling may have to wait in 2022.
Unfortunately, the company did not provide much to go on to figure out some of the potential technical specs of Honor Magic V. But a report from The Elec in July was one of the first times that Honor’s plans for a foldable smartphone were mentioned. The article listed the OEMs that were supposedly going to use ultra-thin glasses (UTG) for their foldable smartphones, including Honor.
The same report claimed that the Honor foldable phone was planned to have an 8.03-inch inner, main screen while a secondary display on the outer part of the device would measure 6.45 inches. The Elec said at that time that BOE will supply Honor with UTG for the smartphone. The article also mentioned that it would be called “Honor Magic Fold,” but it was likely just a tentative name.
