If you’re a fan of foldables, this is one device you won’t want to miss. Honor has just announced the official launch date for its upcoming flip-style phone, set to compete with Samsung’s latest Galaxy Z Flip 7 – and it’s all happening soon. Mark your calendars for August 21, when the Honor Magic V Flip 2 is revealed to the world.
This new device brings an updated design and exciting upgrades, offering a fresh take on the foldable trend.
At first glance, the Magic V Flip 2 might remind you of its predecessor, but look closer and you’ll see the improvements. One of the most noticeable changes is the dual-camera setup on the cover screen. Unlike the original Magic V Flip, which had a large sensor paired with a smaller one, this model features two equally sized sensors, giving it a more symmetrical look. This adjustment also means there’s more space for the external screen, which is rumored to be over 4 inches in size.
Honor is bringing some flair to the Magic V Flip 2 with four color options, including a special edition designed in collaboration with the legendary Jimmy Choo – yes, the same designer behind those iconic shoes. This addition is clearly aimed at those who not only want a powerful phone but also a stylish accessory. While fashion-focused editions tend to cater to a niche market, it’s always refreshing to see phones that make a statement.
In terms of performance, leaks suggest that the Magic V Flip 2 will come with a 5,500 mAh battery and support 80W wired charging, which would easily surpass the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s 4,300 mAh capacity. On the chipset side, don’t expect the Snapdragon 8 Elite – the Honor device is reportedly powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. While Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 runs on the Exynos 2500, this suggests that the two foldables could have similar performance levels. However, we’ll only know for sure once the Magic V Flip 2 hits the market.
One thing to note is Samsung’s potential advantage in terms of availability. The original Magic V Flip was never launched internationally, and it remains to be seen whether Honor plans to release this device globally or if it will stay exclusive to the Chinese market. We’ll be watching closely as more details emerge!
